As soon as reasonably practicable after delivering the Acquisition Notice to the Investor, the Company shall provide the Investor access to, and copies of, if requested, all documents containing non-public information of the Company that have been supplied to any party initiating or receiving such an Acquisition Proposal

3

substantially simultaneously with such delivery, and/or any of such party’s bankers, lawyers, accountants and other representatives and agents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Acquisition Notice will not be required to contain any term of the Acquisition Proposal or the identity of the Person initiating or receiving such Acquisition Proposal, and the Acquisition Notice and any information pursuant to Section 2(b) provided to the Investor by or on behalf of the Company shall be “Confidential Information” and treated in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide the Investor with any document or information if such action would violate any obligation of confidentiality owed before the date hereof to such Person, but in any event the Company shall be obligated to inform the Investor of the existence of an Acquisition Proposal. Nothing contained in this Section 2(a) shall prohibit the Company or the Board, directly or indirectly, from (1) issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act pending disclosure of its position thereunder or taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), or making a statement contemplated by Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act or (2) making any U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing or public announcement relating or referring to an Acquisition Proposal that does not refer to the Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to provide the Investor with an Acquisition Notice due to taking any such action. The Investor shall treat as “Confidential Information” in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement (w) the fact that any documents or information may be furnished or made available, or has been furnished or made available, to the Investor or any of its representatives pursuant to this Section 2(a), (x) the fact that the Investor (directly or through any of its Affiliates) may be considering a possible Acquisition or, if such is the case, that the Investor has made an Investor Proposal (as defined below), (y) the fact that the Parties have had, are having, or propose to have, or may have, any discussions or negotiations concerning a possible Acquisition or Investor Proposal and (z) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to any such possible Acquisition, including but not limited to the status of such possible Acquisition or any Investor Proposal or any termination of the Investor’s consideration thereof.

(b) Review Periods and Investor Proposal.

(i) Procedure

(1) Prior to the Investor’s receipt of the Acquisition Notice, and for a period of ten (10) Business Days thereafter (which time period may be extended by mutual written agreement between the Parties and shall be extended pursuant to clause (2) below) (such ten (10)- Business Day Period, as it may be so extended, the “Review Period”), the Company shall not enter into a definitive agreement (including any no shop agreement, exclusivity agreement, binding term sheet or merger or other acquisition agreement but excluding a binding confidentiality agreement that does not prevent the Company from complying with its obligations under this Section 2) with respect to an Acquisition with any Person, other than with the Investor. During the Review Period, the Company may engage in any negotiations, discussions, or sharing of information with any other Person. During the Review Period, the Company shall provide the Investor reasonable access during normal business hours of the Company to facilities, personnel, management, documents and other information relating to the Company, and its material business, products and technology to enable the Investor to conduct a reasonable due diligence investigation customary in a public company merger and acquisition transaction of this type, and such access and information provided shall be no less extensive than that provided to any other Person that has made an Acquisition Proposal.

4

(2) During the Review Period, the Investor may, in its sole discretion, indicate in writing to the Company its interest in making a proposal relating to an Acquisition prior to the expiration of the Review Period as extended pursuant to this clause (2) (an “Indication of Interest”). An Indication of Interest shall be in writing and shall have been approved by the board of directors of the Investor or a committee thereof or officers duly delegated with authority to make the Indication of Interest, as applicable, and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Investor. If at the end of the initial Review Period, the Investor has delivered to the Company an Indication of Interest, the initial Review Period shall be automatically extended for a fifteen (15) Business Day Period to allow the Investor to present the Company with a proposal relating to an Acquisition (an “Investor Proposal”). An Investor Proposal shall be in writing and shall have been approved by the board of directors of the Investor or a committee thereof or officers duly delegated with authority to make the Investor Proposal, as applicable, and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Investor. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2(b)(i), the Company shall not be required to take any action, or omit to take any action, if the Board reasonably determines, upon the advice of its counsel, that taking such action or omitting to act would result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Board members and any such act or failure to act shall not be deemed a failure to comply with or breach of this Section 2(b).

(ii) With respect to each Acquisition Proposal for which the Investor received an Acquisition Notice from the Company (the “Noticed Acquisition Proposal”), in the event that: (A) the Investor does not deliver an Indication of Interest prior to the expiration of the initial Review Period; or (B) if the Investor does deliver an Indication of Interest prior to the expiration of the initial Review Period but does not deliver an Investor Proposal to the Company prior to the expiration of the Review Period as extended pursuant to clause (i)(2) above; or (C) if the Investor does deliver an Investor Proposal to the Company prior to the expiration of the Review Period (as it may be extended pursuant to clause (i)(2) above), then the Company shall be free to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the Noticed Acquisition Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall in no event be obligated to agree to the terms of any Investor Proposal.

3. Termination of Rights. The Investor’s rights under Section 2 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) for any Acquisition Proposal described in subparagraphs (i) or (ii) of the definition of “Acquisition”, as applicable, the date of the completion of the transactions contemplated by such Acquisition Proposal (or any other Acquisition Proposal received during the Review Period), (b) for any Acquisition Proposal described in subparagraphs (iii) or (iv) of the definition of “Acquisition”, as applicable, the date of the completion of the transactions contemplated by such Acquisition Proposal if and only if such transactions result in the disposition of the Company’s business whether through the sale, license or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or otherwise.

4. Miscellaneous.

(a) Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any Party, in whole or in part (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other Party. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Waiver. Any Party entitled to the benefits thereof may, to the extent permitted by law (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein, and (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise of any other right hereunder.

(c) 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 so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that such transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(d) Entire Agreement; Amendments. The Transaction Documents (including the schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.

(e) Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each Party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the other Party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in law or equity, including monetary damages) to (a) an order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Each Party further agrees that neither the other Party nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 4(e), and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
