THE OFFER

2.1 The Offer.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article VIII, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of execution of this Agreement (and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of execution of this Agreement), Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, and Merger Sub shall, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) the Offer for all of the outstanding Company Shares (other than Excluded Shares) for a price per Company Share equal to the Offer Price (as adjusted as provided in Section 2.1(f)), paid net to the seller thereof in cash, without interest, subject to any deduction or withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law. The date on which Merger Sub commences the Offer, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Commencement Date”.

(b) Subject to satisfaction or waiver by Merger Sub of the conditions set forth in Annex I (the “Offer Conditions”), Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) accept for payment and pay for all Company Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days) after the Expiration Date (such time, the “Acceptance Time”). The obligation of Merger Sub to accept for payment Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to the satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with this Agreement) by Merger Sub of each of the Offer Conditions (and shall not be subject to any other conditions).

(c) Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right to waive any of the Offer Conditions and to make any change in the terms of, or conditions to, the Offer; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall:

(i) waive the Minimum Condition (as defined in Annex I);

(ii) decrease the number of Company Shares sought to be purchased by Merger Sub in the Offer;

(iii) reduce the Offer Price;

(iv) extend or otherwise change the Expiration Date (except to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.1(d));

(v) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer; or

(vi) amend, modify or supplement any of the Offer Conditions or terms of the Offer in a manner that adversely affects the holders of Company Common Stock.

(d) Unless extended as required by this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at midnight (one minute following 11:59 p.m.) (New York City time) at the end of the twentieth (20th) Business Day (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the Offer Commencement Date (the “Initial Expiration Date”), or in the event the Initial Expiration Date has been extended as required by this Agreement, the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Date has been extended as required by this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff, the NYSE or NASDAQ that is applicable to the Offer; provided, that in no event shall Merger Sub be required to extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date (and shall not extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date without the written consent of the Company), and (ii) if, on the Initial Expiration Date or any subsequent date as of which the Offer is scheduled to expire, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived by Parent and Merger Sub, then Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) extend the Offer for successive periods of up to ten (10) Business Days each, the length of each such period to be determined by Parent in its sole discretion; provided, that in no event shall Merger Sub be required to extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date (and shall not extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date without the written consent of the Company). Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall extend the Offer or provide a “subsequent offering period” within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act in any manner other than pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1(d) without the prior written consent of the Company.

(e) The Offer may be terminated or withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, but only if this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 8.1.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including Section 2.1(c)), if, from the date of this Agreement until the Acceptance Time, the outstanding Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the Offer Price shall be appropriately adjusted, without duplication, to provide the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, that no such adjustment shall result in any increase or decrease of the aggregate Merger Consideration. Nothing in this Section 2.1(f) shall be

deemed to permit or authorize any party hereto to effect any such change that it is not otherwise specifically authorized or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Agreement.

2.2 Actions of Parent and Merger Sub.

(a) On the Offer Commencement Date, Parent and Merger Sub shall: (i) cause to be filed with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer, which will contain Merger Sub’s offer to purchase, letter of transmittal, the related form of summary advertisement and other required ancillary offer documents (such Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto being referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of Company Common Stock as required by applicable Law.

3.4 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of White & Case LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or at such other place as agreed to by the parties hereto, as promptly as practicable after the Acceptance Time, and in any case no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after all of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than conditions which by their terms are required to be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) shall have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to the benefit of the same, or at such other time and on a date as agreed to by the parties (the “Closing Date”).

3.6 Effect on Stock. At the Merger Effective Time, as a result of and by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holder of any capital stock of the Company or Merger Sub:

(a) Merger Consideration. Each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (other than (i) Company Shares that are owned by the Company as treasury shares and Company Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent or the Company (such Company Shares, “Excluded Shares”), and (ii) Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive, in accordance with this Article III, an amount equal to the Offer Price, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

(b) Cancellation of Company Common Stock.

(i) Each Company Share converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.6(a) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each share of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry (the “Book-Entry Shares”) (other than Book-Entry Shares representing Excluded Shares or Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon transfer of such Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Article III.

(ii) Each Excluded Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, shall cease to be outstanding and shall be automatically canceled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(c) Merger Sub.

(d) Merger Consideration Adjustment. If, from the Acceptance Time until the Merger Effective Time, the outstanding Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted, without duplication, to provide the holders of Company Common Stock

the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, that no such adjustment shall result in any increase or decrease of the aggregate Merger Consideration. Nothing in this Section 3.6(d) shall be deemed to permit or authorize any party hereto to effect any such change that it is not otherwise specifically authorized or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Agreement.

3.7 Company Equity Awards.

(a) Restricted Stock Units. At the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, any holder of any Company Common Stock or Restricted Stock Units or any other Person, each Restricted Stock Unit that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) shall be fully vested and become free of all vesting restrictions immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled, retired and cease to exist and be converted into the right to receive (without duplication) an amount in cash from the Surviving Corporation equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of Company Shares subject to such Restricted Stock Unit. As of the Merger Effective Time, each holder of a Restricted Stock Unit shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except pursuant to this Section 3.7(a). No interest shall be paid or accrued on any cash payable with respect to any Restricted Stock Units. Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effectuate this Section 3.7(a).

(b) PSUs. At the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, any holder of any Company Common Stock or PSUs or any other Person, each PSU that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) shall be fully vested and become free of all vesting restrictions immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled, retired and cease to exist and be converted into the right to receive (without duplication) an amount in cash from the Surviving Corporation equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of Company Shares subject to such PSU (with respect to PSUs that are in their performance period as of the Merger Effective Time, determined in accordance with the existing award agreement related to each outstanding PSU). As of the Merger Effective Time, each holder of a PSU shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except pursuant to this Section 3.7(b). No interest shall be paid or accrued on any cash payable with respect to any PSUs. Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effectuate this Section 3.7(b).

(c) Company Options. At the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, any holder of any Company Options or any other Person, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) shall be fully vested and become free of all vesting restrictions immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled, retired and shall cease to exist and be converted into the right to receive (without duplication), an amount in cash from the Surviving Corporation equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of

(A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per Company Share subject to such Company Option, and (ii) the number of Company Shares underlying such Company Option. To the extent that the exercise price per Company Share of a Company Option is equal to or higher than the Merger Consideration, then such Company Option shall be terminated immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and the holder thereof shall be entitled to no consideration in connection with such cancellation. As of the Merger Effective Time, each holder of a Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except pursuant to this Section 3.7(c). No interest shall be paid or accrued on any cash payable with respect to any Company Option. Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effectuate this Section 3.7(c).

(d) Phantom Units. At the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, any holder of any Company Common Stock or Phantom Units or any other Person, each Phantom Unit that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) shall be fully vested and become free of all vesting restrictions immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled, retired and cease to exist and be converted into the right to receive (without duplication) an amount in cash from the Surviving Corporation equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of Company Shares subject to such Phantom Unit. As of the Merger Effective Time, each holder of a Phantom Unit shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except for the right to receive the cash payments described in this Section 3.7(d). No interest shall be paid or accrued on any cash payable with respect to any Phantom Unit.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cash payments described in this Section 3.7 shall be effected in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code.

(f) Company Actions.

The Company shall take all steps necessary to provide that the Company Equity Plans (as well as any outstanding awards under any such plans) shall be terminated effective as of the Closing and to ensure that from and after the Merger Effective Time neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver shares of Company Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company to any Person pursuant

to or in settlement of Company Options, PSUs, Phantom Units or Restricted Stock Units after the Merger Effective Time.

3.8 Exchange of Company Shares.

(a) Paying Agent.

(i) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Merger Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent”). At or promptly following the Merger Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent, separate and apart from its other funds, for the benefit of holders of Book-Entry Shares, cash in an amount equal to the aggregate Merger Consideration which such holders are entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Merger Fund”). The Surviving Corporation shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Paying Agent.

(ii) The Merger Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent in (i) direct obligations of the United States of America, (ii) obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for payment of all principal and interest or (iii) commercial paper obligations receiving the highest rating from either ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies, or a combination thereof, as directed by Parent; provided, however, that no gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to the holders of Company Common Stock following completion of the Merger pursuant to this Article III, and Parent shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Merger Fund includes at all times following the Merger Effective Time cash sufficient to satisfy Parent’s then-remaining obligation under this Article III. Any and all interest and other income earned on the Merger Fund shall promptly be paid to Parent or as Parent otherwise directs.

(iii) As promptly as practicable after the Merger Effective Time, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the Merger Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail (and to make available for collection by hand) to each holder of record of Company Common Stock (other than holders of Excluded Shares) (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form approved by Parent and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon transfer of such Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent) and (B) instructions for effecting the transfer of the Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration.

(iv) Upon (A) delivery to the Paying Agent of a letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions and (B) compliance with the reasonable procedures established by the Paying Agent for delivery of Book-Entry Shares, each holder of Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, in cash, the aggregate Merger Consideration in respect thereof in the form of a check to be mailed within three (3) Business Days of receipt by the Paying Agent of such Book-Entry Shares, and the Book-Entry Shares so transferred shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due transfer of the Book-Entry Shares. The Paying Agent shall

accept such Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of such Company Common Stock upon their surrender for exchange in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock.

(b) Book Entry Holder. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a person other than the person in whose name the applicable Book-Entry Share so transferred is registered, it shall be a condition to the registration thereof that the surrendered Book-Entry Share shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such delivery of the Merger Consideration shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other similar Taxes required as a result of such registration in the name of a person other than the registered holder of such Book-Entry Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III upon conversion of any Company Shares shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares, subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Merger Effective Time that may have been declared or made by the Company on such Company Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or prior to the date of this Agreement and which remain unpaid at the Merger Effective Time, and after the Merger Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of Company Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time.

(d) Termination of Merger Fund. Any portion of the Merger Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for twelve (12) months after the Merger Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation as general unsecured creditors with respect to the applicable Merger Consideration and subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Merger Fund delivered to a public official to the extent required by any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Company Common Stock (or with respect to all amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.7) pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any other provision of applicable federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall consult with the Company regarding

withholding obligations related to non-U.S. employees in order to minimize such withholding obligations. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as applicable, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holders of Company Shares (or to the recipient of any amount payable pursuant to Section 3.7) in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent or the Paying Agent.

3.9 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand, and who properly demands, appraisal of such Company Common Stock pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.6(a), but rather, the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled only to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (and, at the Merger Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such holders shall cease to have any right with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL); provided, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Merger Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for, the right to receive the Merger Consideration (without interest thereon) as provided in Section 3.6(a). The Company shall notify Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable of any written demands received by the Company for appraisal of any Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Merger Effective Time, except as required by applicable Law, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal in accordance with the DGCL or agree to do any of the foregoing.

3.10 Further Assurances. If, at any time before or after the Merger Effective Time, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent reasonably believes or is advised that any further instruments, deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of either of the Company or Merger Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to consummate the Merger or to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement at or after the Merger Effective Time, then the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective officers and directors shall, and shall be authorized to, execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments, instruments and assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Merger and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

(a) Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Merger Effective Time, subject to the requirements of applicable Laws, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary and the Representatives of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, afford Parent and its Representatives, following notice from Parent to the Company in accordance with this Section 6.4, reasonable access during normal business hours to the officers, employees, agents, auditors, properties, offices and other facilities and the books and records of

the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and shall furnish, and cause to be furnished, to Parent all other financial, operating and other data and information as Parent may reasonably request (but without the Company or its Representatives being required to produce any information that is not generated in the ordinary course of business) and, as promptly as reasonably practicable, a copy of each report, schedule and other document filed or received by the Company or any Company Subsidiary pursuant to the requirements of the federal securities Laws or a Governmental Authority, except in each case as may be restricted by applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall not be obligated to disclose any information that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company on advice of outside counsel, would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege with respect to such information or which would constitute a waiver of any other privilege or trade secret protection held by the Company or any Company Subsidiary; provided, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts (x) to allow for such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege or waiver of any other privilege or trade secret protection or (y) to develop an alternative to providing such information so as to address such matters that is reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company. The Company shall advise Parent in such circumstances that it is unable to comply with Parent’s requests for information pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.4(a) and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to generally describe the types of information being withheld. The Company shall be entitled to have representatives present at all times during any such inspection, and no notice, access, review or investigation pursuant to this Section 6.4 or information provided, made available or delivered to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.4 or otherwise shall affect any representations or warranties of the Company or conditions or rights of Parent contained in this Agreement. No investigation after the date hereof shall affect or be deemed to modify or supplement any representation or warranty made by the Company herein.

(b) Confidentiality. All information and materials provided pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed terminated as of the Closing.

6.5 Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

(a) Governmental and Third Party Approvals. Each of the parties shall use its commercially reasonable 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 to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions, including (i) preparing and filing as soon as practicable after the date hereof all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the Transactions and taking such actions as are reasonably necessary to obtain any requisite approvals, consents, Orders, exemptions or waivers by any Governmental Authority or other third party, including filings pursuant to the HSR Act with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (and the preparation and filing, as soon as reasonably practicable, of any form or report required by any other Governmental Authority relating to antitrust, competition, trade, pre-merger notification or other regulatory matters), other applicable Antitrust Laws, and with the NYSE or NASDAQ, (ii)

obtaining all necessary consents, approvals, authorizations or waivers from third parties and providing any further information as may be required by such third parties, (iii) defending any Actions challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or the other Transactions, including seeking to have vacated or reversed any Order that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto shall furnish to each other party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. In addition, each of the parties hereto shall consult with the other with respect to, provide any necessary information with respect to and provide the other (or its counsel) copies of, all filings made by such party with any Governmental Authority or any other information supplied by such party to a Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions.

(b) Antitrust Filings. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.5(a), each of the parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts (i) to file or cause to be filed, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days from the date hereof with respect to the HSR Act), all required filings under the HSR Act and all required filings under other applicable Antitrust Laws that Parent reasonably determines in good faith to be necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) to obtain early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and other applicable Antitrust Laws. The parties shall consult and cooperate with each other in the preparation of such filings, and shall promptly inform the other parties of any material communication received by such party from any Antitrust Authority regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall not agree to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or waiting period or to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the Transactions at the behest of any Governmental Authority without the written consent of Parent.

(c) Notification. Each of the Company and Parent shall keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Transactions. In that regard, each party shall without limitation use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) promptly notify the other of, and if in writing, furnish the other with copies of (or, in the case of material oral communications, advise the other orally of) any communications from or with any Governmental Authority with respect to the Offer, the Merger or the other Transactions, (ii) permit the other to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, any proposed written (or any material proposed oral) communication with any such Governmental Authority with respect to the Offer, the Merger or the other Transactions, (iii) to the extent practical, not participate in any meeting with any such Governmental Authority with respect to the Offer, the Merger or the other Transactions unless it consults with the other in advance, and (iv) furnish the other with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the Company or Parent, as applicable, may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of necessary filings or submissions of information to any such Governmental Authority.

(d) Objections. In furtherance of the covenants set forth in Section 6.5(a), if any objections are asserted with respect to the Transactions under any Antitrust Law or if any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by the Federal Trade Commission, the

Department of Justice or any other applicable Governmental Authority challenging any of the Transactions or which would otherwise prohibit, materially impair or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions, the Company shall take all actions necessary to resolve any such objections or Actions (or threatened Actions) so as to permit consummation of the Transactions to close as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, that (i) the Company shall not propose, negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, transfer, license, divestiture or other disposition of, or any prohibition or limitation on the ownership, operation, effective control or exercise of full rights of ownership of, any of the businesses, product lines or assets of Parent or any of its Affiliates or of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries (“Divestitures”) without the prior written consent of Parent and (ii) the obligations of the Company under this Section 6.5(d) shall be conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing; provided, further, that Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations under this Section 6.5(d) to use commercially reasonable efforts shall not include (A) proposing, negotiating, committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, any Divestiture, and (B) defending any judicial or administrative action or similar proceeding instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by any Person under any Antitrust Law or seeking to have any stay, restraining order, injunction or similar order entered by any Governmental Authority vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned.

(e) Delisting. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of NASDAQ to cause the delisting of the Company and of Company Common Stock from NASDAQ as promptly as practicable after the Merger Effective Time and the deregistration of Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after such delisting.

6.6 State Takeover Statutes. In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, (a) the Company shall take all reasonable action necessary to ensure that no “fair price,” “business combination,” “control share acquisition” or other state takeover statute or similar Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement or any of the Transactions and (b) if any “fair price,” “business combination,” “control share acquisition” or other state takeover statute or similar Law becomes applicable to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, the Company and the Company Board shall take all action necessary, including granting such approvals, 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 render inapplicable (or, if not possible, minimize the effect of) such Law on the Merger and the other Transactions.

6.7 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Indemnification. For a period of six (6) years following the Merger Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, and the Surviving Corporation shall, honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries under any and all indemnification agreements in effect immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time between the Company or any Company Subsidiary, any of their respective current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary prior to the Merger Effective Time (the

“Indemnified Parties”). In addition, for a period of six (6) years following the Merger Effective Time, Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification and exculpation that are at least as favorable, in the aggregate, as the indemnification and exculpation provisions contained in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time.

(b) Insurance. For a period of six (6) years following the Merger Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the current policies (whether through purchase of a “tail” policy or otherwise) of directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) maintained by the Company, in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Merger Effective Time, covering each person covered by the D&O Insurance immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (a true, correct and complete copy of which has been heretofore delivered to Parent), on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts no less favorable in the aggregate than those of the D&O Insurance in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, that Parent or the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous in the aggregate to former officers and directors of the Company; and provided, further that if the aggregate annual premiums for such policies at any time during such period will exceed 300% of the per year premium rate paid by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the date hereof for such policies, then Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall only be required to provide such coverage as will then be available at an annual premium equal to 300% of such rate.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Indemnified Party notifies the Surviving Corporation on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Merger Effective Time that an Action (whether arising before, at or after the Merger Effective Time) has been commenced against such Indemnified Party in respect of which such Person would be entitled to and expects to seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.7, the provisions of this Section 6.7 shall continue in effect with respect to such Action until the final disposition of such Action.

(d) Successors. If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with, or merge with or into, any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any Person, then, in each case, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall take such action as may be necessary so that such Person shall assume the obligations of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, set forth in this Section 6.7.

(e) Enforceability. Each of the directors and officers or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.7 with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the Indemnified Parties (and other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in paragraph (b) above (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 6.7 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have

under the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).

6.8 Public Announcements.

(a) The initial press release regarding the Merger shall be a joint press release of the Company and Parent. Thereafter, the Company and Parent each shall consult with each other prior to issuing, and will provide each other the opportunity to review, comment upon and concur with, and use reasonable best efforts to agree on, any press releases or other public announcements or any filings with any Governmental Authority or other third party with respect to the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions, except as either party, after consultation with outside counsel, may determine is required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or stock market or by the request of any Governmental Authority if it has used reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party prior thereto regarding the timing, scope and content of any such press release or public statement. In addition, neither party shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or disclosure concerning the other party or the other party’s business, financial condition or results of operations without the consent of such other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(b) Prior to making any general, broad-based written or oral communications to the directors, officers or employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the Transactions, (i) the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication, (ii) Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and (iii) Parent and the Company shall cooperate in providing any such mutually agreeable communication.

6.9 Employee Matters.

(a) Parent agrees that the employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries at the Merger Effective Time who continue to remain employed with the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (the “Continuing Employees”) will, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing through December 31, 2016, be provided with (i) base salary or wage rate and annual cash bonus opportunities the same as are provided as of the date hereof and (ii) employee benefits (excluding equity compensation benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided as of the date hereof.

(b) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to cause any pre-existing conditions and actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any group plan of Parent or its Affiliates providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision and/or other health benefits to be waived with respect to Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents as of the Closing Date and (ii) for any plan year in which the Merger Effective Time occurs, to cause any deductible, co-insurance and covered out-of-pocket expenses paid by any Continuing Employee (or covered dependent thereof) during the portion of the plan year in which such Continuing Employee participated in the Company Benefit Plan to be taken into account for the purposes of satisfying the

corresponding deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Closing Date under any applicable Parent benefit plan in the applicable plan year. Parent further agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation, to the extent that it would not result in a duplication of benefits, to give each Continuing Employee service credit for such Continuing Employee’s employment with the Company as if such service had been performed with Parent to the extent that such service was recognized under a similar Company Benefit Plan, in each case, for all purposes, including, as applicable, vesting, eligibility to participate, and level of benefits under the corresponding benefit plan offered by Parent or its Subsidiaries, including vacation plans or arrangements, defined contribution, and any severance and welfare plans; provided, however, that this provisions shall not apply for purposes of any frozen Parent benefit plan, any defined benefit pension plan, any retiree medical or life plan, and any Parent benefit plan under which similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries do not receive credit for prior service under any equity incentive plan.

(c) Upon written request by Parent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Company shall terminate any and all Company Benefit Plans intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code, (each a “Company 401(k) Plan”) effective not later than the day immediately preceding the Merger Effective Time. In the event that Parent requests that such Company 401(k) Plan(s) be terminated, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Company 401(k) Plan(s) have been terminated pursuant to resolution of the Company Board (the form and substance of which shall be subject to review and approval by Parent) not later than the day immediately preceding the Merger Effective Time. In the event Parent provides the written notice described in this Section 6.9(c), Parent shall have in place a tax qualified defined contribution retirement plan (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”) in which Continuing Employees who were eligible to participate in any Company 401(k) Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date (whether or not actively participating) shall be immediately eligible to participate. The Parent 401(k) Plan shall permit each such Continuing Employee with an account balance in any Company 401(k) Plan to make rollover contributions, including rollover of any outstanding loans held by participants.

(d) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company Board or the appropriate committee of the Company Board shall take all reasonable actions, including adopting any necessary resolutions, to (i) cause any open offering period as of the date hereof under the Company’s 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) to be the final offering period under the ESPP, such that no new offering period will commence under the ESPP after such date and the current offering period underway shall be terminated no later than the Business Day immediately prior to the anticipated Closing Date (the “Final Exercise Date”), (ii) treat such shortened offering period as fully effective and completed offering period for all purposes under the ESPP, (iii) prohibit participants in the ESPP from altering their payroll deductions from those in effect on the date of this Agreement (other than to reduce the rate of payroll deductions or stop such payroll deductions in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ESPP), (iv) provide that each participant’s Company Share purchase rights under the ESPP be exercised as of the Final Exercise Date and the amount of the accumulated contributions of each participant under the ESPP as of immediately prior to the Final Exercise Date shall, to the extent not used to purchase Company Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ESPP, be refunded to such participant as promptly as practicable following the Final Exercise Date (without interest), and (v) terminate the ESPP on the Final Exercise Date).

(e) Nothing in this Agreement is intended (i) to be treated as an amendment to any particular Company Benefit Plan, (ii) to prevent Parent from amending or terminating any of its benefit plans or, after the Merger Effective Time, any Company Benefit Plan in accordance their terms, (iii) to prevent Parent, after the Merger Effective Time, from terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee, or (iv) to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any individual other than the parties hereto including any employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any Continuing Employee by Parent or the Company or under any benefit plan which Parent or the Company may maintain.

6.10 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of the Company and Parent shall give prompt notice to the other party of (a) any notice or other communication received by it from any third party, subsequent to the date of this Agreement and prior to the Merger Effective Time, alleging that the consent of such third party is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, (b) any Action commenced or, to such party’s Knowledge, threatened against, the Company or any Company Subsidiary or Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, that purport to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or the other Transactions that make allegations that, if true, would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be, and (c) (i) in the case of the Company, the Knowledge of the Company of any breach of or inaccuracy in its representations or warranties set forth herein or failure to perform its covenants or agreements set forth herein to the extent such inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform would give rise to the failure of any Offer Condition set forth in section (a) or section (b) of Annex I, or (ii) in the case of Parent, the Knowledge of Parent of any breach of or inaccuracy in the representations or warranties of Parent or Merger Sub set forth herein or failure to perform the covenants or agreements of Parent and Merger Sub set forth herein to the extent such inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially impede or materially delay the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall not cure any breach of any representation, warranty, obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect any remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice; and provided, further, that the failure to deliver such notice shall not, in and of itself, give rise to an incremental breach for purposes of Section 8.1 or section (a) or section (b) of Annex I, separate and apart from the relevant underlying inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform giving rise to the requirement to deliver the notice.

6.11 Certain Litigation. The Company shall promptly advise Parent orally and in writing of any Action threatened or commenced after the date hereof against the Company or any of its directors by any stockholder of the Company relating to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the Transactions and shall keep Parent reasonably informed regarding any such litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company regarding the defense or settlement of any such Action and shall consider Parent’s views with respect to such Action and, and notwithstanding Section 6.1(n), shall not settle any such Action without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.12 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Merger 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, in each case, derivative securities) resulting from the Transactions by each officer or director of the Company 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.

6.13 Section 14d-10 Matters. Prior to the Acceptance Time and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company (acting through the Company Board or the compensation committee of the Company Board) will take all such steps as may be required to cause each agreement, arrangement or understanding that has been or will be entered into by the Company or any Company Subsidiary with any of its officers, directors or employees pursuant to which compensation, severance or other benefits is paid to such officer, director or employee to be approved as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act and to otherwise satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange Act.

6.14 BCE Warrants. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause each holder of a BCE Warrant to exercise his or her BCE Warrant for all, and not less than all, of the number of shares of Médical’s capital stock issuable pursuant to the terms of such BCE Warrant, and to immediately thereafter exchange all, and not less than all, of such capital stock issued upon exercise of the BCE Warrant for shares of Company Common Stock, in amounts and types calculated pursuant to the terms of that certain Second Amended and Restated Put-Call Agreement, dated August 6, 2013, by and among the Company, Médical, and the parties listed on Schedule A and Schedule B thereto.

breach of any provision of this Agreement or from any rights, claims, causes of action or remedies arising from fraud. 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. In the event this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day of such termination, terminate the Offer.

8.3 Payments.

(a) Company Termination Fee. In the event that:

(i) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f);

(ii) (A) this Agreement is terminated (x) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) or (y) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(e) and prior to such termination, an Alternative Transaction Proposal has been made and (B) within twelve (12) months of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with any third party to consummate, or consummates, an Alternative Transaction Proposal; or

(iii) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g);

then the Company shall pay Parent a fee equal to Thirty-Four Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($34,200,000) (the “Termination Fee”). Any fee due under this Section 8.3(a) shall be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds to an account provided in writing by Parent to the Company (A) in the case of termination pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) above, on the date of termination of this Agreement or (B) in the case of termination pursuant to clause (ii) above, within two (2) Business Days of the date of the first to occur of (x) the execution of a definitive agreement relating to an Alternative Transaction Proposal and (y) consummation of a transaction relating to an Alternative Transaction Proposal. The amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.3 constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty. For purposes of this Section 8.3(a), the term “Alternative Transaction Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 1.1, except that all percentages therein shall be changed to “fifty percent (50%)”.

(b) Interest and Costs. Each of the Company and Parent acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the Transactions and constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty and that, without these agreements, neither Parent nor the Company would have entered into this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Termination Fee shall be payable only once and not in duplication even though the Termination Fee may be payable under one or more provisions hereof. Other than in the case of a willful and material breach of this Agreement or fraud, in the event Parent shall receive the Termination Fee, the receipt thereof shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (and the termination thereof or any matter forming the basis for such termination), and in such case neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to

bring or maintain any other Action against the Company or any of its Affiliates arising out of this Agreement, any of the Transactions or any matters forming the basis for such termination. In the event that the Company shall fail to pay the Termination Fee when due, and in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit which results in a judgment against the Company for such fee, then the Company shall pay to Parent its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of enforcement) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts owed at the prime lending rate prevailing at such time, as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus five percent (5%) per year, from the date such amounts were required to be paid until the date actually received by such party.

(c) Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each party shall bear its own Expenses in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, except that Parent shall pay any filing fees incurred in connection with any filings pursuant to the HSR Act or to any non-U.S. Antitrust Law. Furthermore, in the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(e) due to a willful breach by the Company, then the Company, in addition to any payments it may be required to make to Parent pursuant to Section 8.3(a) in respect of such termination, shall reimburse Parent for up to Eleven Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($11,400,000) of Parent’s Expenses. Any expense reimbursement due under this Section 8.3(c) shall be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds to an account provided in writing by Parent to the Company. As used in this Agreement, “Expenses” includes all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, financial advisors, experts and consultants to a party hereto and its Affiliates) incurred by a party or on its behalf in connection with or related to the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions, including the preparation, printing, filing and mailing of the Offer Documents and all other matters related to the Transactions.

9.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile, or electronic transmission shall constitute

effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

9.4 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the documents and the instruments referred to herein) (a) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral (other than the Confidentiality Agreement), among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and neither party is relying on any other oral or written representation, agreement or understanding and (b) except for the provisions of Section 6.7 (which upon the Merger Effective Time are intended to benefit the Indemnified Parties), and Section 3.6 and Section 3.7 (which upon the Merger Effective Time are intended to benefit the Company Stockholders and the holders of Company Equity Awards, respectively) is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties any rights or remedies.

9.5 Governing Law. All disputes, claims or controversies (whether at law, in contract in tort or otherwise) that may be based on, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement, or the Transactions shall be deemed made in and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its rules of conflict of laws.

9.6 Amendments and Supplements. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented at any time by additional written agreements signed by, or on behalf of the parties, as may mutually be determined by the parties to be necessary, desirable or expedient to further the purpose of this Agreement or to clarify the intention of the parties.

9.7 Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or extended except by a written instrument signed by the party against whom the waiver or extension is to be effective. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right.

9.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by either of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other party. Any assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

9.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, insofar as the foregoing can be accomplished without materially affecting the economic benefits anticipated by the parties to this Agreement. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to

the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible. The rights and remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.

9.10 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding Section 8.3, the parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate monetary remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed (or prohibited from being performed, as applicable) 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, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and the parties further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

9.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY, PARENT AND MERGER SUB HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HERBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE COMPANY, PARENT OR MERGER SUB IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF 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 SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, 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 9.11.

9.12 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or to the extent such Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, a Federal Court of the United Stated of America sitting in Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”) solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the Transactions, or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts or that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate, or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such Chosen Courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims, actions, suits and proceedings or other causes of action (whether at Law, in contract, in tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Chosen Courts. Each of the

parties agrees not to commence any action or proceeding except in the Chosen Courts. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such Chosen Court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted by Law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 9.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by law shall be valid, effective and sufficient service thereof.

9.13 Incorporation of Exhibits . The Company Disclosure Letter, the Parent Disclosure Letter and all Exhibits and schedules attached hereto and referred to herein are hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.

Annex I

CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER

Merger Sub shall not be obligated to accept for payment, and (subject to the rules and regulations of the SEC) shall not be obligated to pay for, any Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer (and not theretofore accepted for payment or paid for) unless, prior to the expiration of the Offer (as it may have been extended pursuant to Section 2.1(d) of the Agreement), there shall have been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn Company Shares that, considered together with all other Company Shares (if any) beneficially owned by Parent and its Affiliates (excluding Company Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received,” as such term is defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL, by the depositary for the Offer pursuant to such procedures), represent more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate number of Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the acceptance of Company Shares pursuant to the Offer.

The condition set forth in the above paragraph is referred to as the “Minimum Condition”.

Furthermore, Merger Sub shall not be required to accept for payment, and (subject to the rules and regulations of the SEC) shall not be obligated to pay for, any Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer (and not theretofore accepted for payment or paid for) if, upon the expiration of the Offer (as it may have been extended pursuant to Section 2.1(d) of the Agreement) and before acceptance of such Company Shares for payment, any of the following conditions exists and is continuing, regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such condition:

(a) (i) The representations and warranties of the Company contained in Sections 4.1, 4.3, 4.4, 4.9(a), 4.26, 4.27 and 4.28 shall fail to be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Acceptance Time as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date), (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.2(a) and the first sentence of Section 4.2(b) shall fail to be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Acceptance Time as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date and except for any inaccuracies that are de minimis in both amount and nature), and (iii) the other representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall fail to be true and correct (without giving effect to any limitation on any representation or warranty indicated by the words “Company Material Adverse Effect,” “in all material respects,” “in any material respect,” “material,” “materially” or words of similar import) as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Acceptance Time as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date), except in the case of clause (iii), where all failures of such representations and warranties to be true and correct as of such dates have not had, or would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect;

I-1

(b) The Company shall have failed to perform and comply with, in any material respect, its obligations under the Agreement on or prior to the Acceptance Time and such failure shall not have been cured on or prior to the Acceptance Time;

(c) Since the date of the Agreement, there shall have been any event, change, effect, development, condition or occurrence that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect;

(d) The Company shall have failed to deliver to Parent a certificate signed by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Company and certifying as to the satisfaction by the Company of the applicable conditions specified in clauses (a), (b) and (c) immediately above;

(e) A Law, Order, or other legal restraint or prohibition, entered, enacted, promulgated, enforced or issued by any court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction, shall be in effect, or be pending, which prohibits, renders illegal or enjoins the consummation of the Transactions;

(f) Any waiting period (and any extensions thereof) applicable to consummation of the Merger under the HSR Act shall not have expired or been terminated; and

(g) The Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms.

The foregoing conditions (including the Minimum Condition) are for the sole benefit of Parent and Merger Sub and, subject to applicable Law, may be waived by Parent or Merger Sub in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in their sole discretion (except for the Minimum Condition), in each case subject to the terms of the Agreement. Any reference in this Annex I or the Agreement to a condition or requirement being satisfied shall be deemed to be satisfied if such condition or requirement is so waived. The foregoing conditions shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, the rights of Parent and Merger Sub to extend, terminate, amend and/or modify the Offer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. The failure by Parent or Merger Sub at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 6, 2016 (the “Agreement”), by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company.
