(iii) All Liabilities of Seller (A) under this Agreement (other than Assumed Liabilities), including all Liabilities of Seller for costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) incurred in connection with any restructuring or reorganization of Seller or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, whether or not resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise;

1.2 Purchase Price, Working Capital Adjustment and Related Matters.

(a) Purchase Price. In consideration for the Acquired Assets, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer shall assume the Assumed Liabilities and shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, U.S. $18,750,000 (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.2(c) and Article VI. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price includes the consideration to be paid pursuant to the Equity Transfer Contract and no consideration other than the payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing shall be required to be paid by Buyer or any of its Affiliates for the purchase and sale of Seller’s equity interests in, or the assets of, Sycamore Shanghai. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and obligations of the Parties in regards to Sycamore Shanghai are as set forth in this Agreement and the Equity Transfer Contract does not create any additional right or obligation and is intended for the sole purpose of effecting the transfer of Seller’s equity interests in Sycamore Shanghai from Seller to Buyer or its Affiliate.

(b) Payment of Purchase Price. At the Closing, Buyer shall acquire the Acquired Assets as provided in Section 1.1(a) and assume the Assumed Liabilities as provided in Section 1.1(c) and shall pay the aggregate amount of the Purchase Price less any Estimated Working Capital Shortfall to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(A) “Target Net Working Capital” means and be equal to $5,687,511;

(B) “Net Working Capital” means (A) Current Assets (as defined below), less (B) Current Liabilities (as defined below) on the Closing Date.

(C) “Current Assets” means the Acquired Assets that are current assets included in the line items set forth on the Net Working Capital Statement to the extent acquired by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(D) “Current Liabilities” means all of the Assumed Liabilities that are current Liabilities included in the line items set forth on the Net Working Capital Statement to the extent assumed by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a pre-closing consolidated statement of net assets of the Business (the “Estimated Statement of Net Assets”) setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate, as of the Closing Date, of the Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) substantially in the form, including the line items and in accordance with the allocations, attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Net Working Capital Statement”), and accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation used by Seller to calculate the foregoing. The accounts reflected on the Net Working Capital Statement have been compiled by Seller in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the provisions of this Agreement applied consistently (without any footnotes or normal customary year-end adjustments). In preparing such Estimated Closing Statement of Net Assets, Seller shall permit Buyer to participate and shall consider any reasonable requests of Buyer to make adjustments thereto. If the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than the Target Net Working Capital, the Purchase Price payable pursuant to Section 1.2(a) shall be reduced by the difference, the “Estimated Working Capital Shortfall”. If the Estimated Net Working Capital is equal to or greater than the Target Net Working Capital, there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price at the Closing. Within forty-five (45) calendar days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a closing consolidated statement of net assets of the Business as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement of Net Assets”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Net Working Capital (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), prepared and calculated in accordance and consistent with the form of Net Working Capital Statement, which Closing Statement of Net Assets shall be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applied consistently (without any footnotes or normal customary year-end adjustments), and accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation used by Buyer to calculate the foregoing. In preparing such Closing Statement of Net Assets, Buyer shall permit Seller to participate and shall consider any reasonable requests of Seller to make adjustments thereto.

(iii) Seller shall have fifteen (15) calendar days (the “Review Period”) to review any such Closing Net Working Capital. If Seller disputes the Closing Net Working Capital, Seller shall deliver notice of such dispute (a “Notice of Dispute”), which shall include a statement indicating the items in the Closing Net Working Capital disputed and the basis, in reasonable detail, for its objections, to Buyer on or prior to the expiration of the Review Period. Any line item in the Closing Net Working Capital that Seller does not specifically dispute in the Notice of Dispute shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment. Following delivery of any Notice of Dispute from Seller, authorized representatives of Buyer and Seller shall promptly meet and confer in an effort to resolve such disagreement in good faith. If there is no Notice of Dispute, the Closing Net Working Capital shall be deemed to be the “Final Net Working Capital”, and the Closing Statement of Net Assets, or if there is a finally agreed statement of net assets, then such statement of net assets, shall be deemed a “Final Statement of Net Assets”.

(iv) In the event Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the Closing Statement of Net Assets within fifteen (15) Business Days following the date of delivery of the Notice of Dispute (or such longer period as Buyer and Seller may agree), resolution of such dispute shall be determined by an

independent firm of certified public accountants mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller (the “Neutral Accountants”). If issues in dispute set forth in the Notice of Dispute are submitted to the Neutral Accountants for resolution, (i) each Party shall furnish to the Neutral Accountants, such work papers and other documents and information relating to the items in dispute as the Neutral Accountants may request and are available to that Party, and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Neutral Accountants any material relating to the issues in dispute and to discuss together with the other Party or its representatives present the issues in dispute with the Neutral Accountants; (ii) the determination by the Neutral Accountants shall be limited to the items in dispute, as set forth in a notice delivered to both Parties by the Neutral Accountants and adjustment to the Net Working Capital Statement as a result of the resolutions of the items in dispute (also a Final Statement of Net Assets), will be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties; and (iii) the fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountants for such determination shall be paid by the Parties in inverse proportion to the outcome of the Parties’ position with respect to the dispute over the final adjustment. For example, if it is Buyer’s position that the adjustment owed is $300, Seller’s position that the adjustment owed is $100 and the Neutral Accountants’ finding that the adjustment owed is $150, then Buyer shall pay 75% (300-150 / 300-100) of the fees and expenses and Seller shall pay 25% (150-100 / 300-100) of the fees and expenses.

(v) If the Net Working Capital on the Final Statement of Net Assets is less than or equal to the Target Net Working Capital, an amount equal to (A) the absolute value of such difference, if any, less (B) the Estimated Working Capital Shortfall, if any, shall be paid (X) if such amount is positive, by Seller to an account designated in writing by Buyer (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Net Working Capital on the Final Statement of Net Assets or (Y) if such amount is negative, by Buyer to an account designated in writing by Seller (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Net Working Capital on the Final Statement of Net Assets. If the Net Working Capital on the Final Statement of Net Assets is greater than the Target Net Working Capital, an amount equal to (A) such difference plus (B) the Estimated Working Capital Shortfall, if any, shall be paid by Buyer to an account designated in writing by Seller (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Net Working Capital on the Final Statement of Net Assets.

(vi) Payments pursuant to this Section 1.2(c) shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(d) Allocation.

(i) Within twenty (20) days following the determination of the Final Net Working Capital in accordance with Section 1.2(c) hereof, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller an allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities attributable to the purchase of the Non-Stock Assets and Transferred Subsidiaries by Buyer among the Non-Stock Assets and Transferred Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. The Parties agree that the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared and finalized in accordance with the amounts set forth on Section 1.2(d) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(ii) Seller shall have ten (10) days after receipt of the Allocation Schedule to provide Buyer with written notice of Seller’s objection to such allocations, which notice shall include a statement indicating the items in the Allocation Schedule disputed and the basis in reasonable detail for its objections. If Seller does not provide written notice of its objection to the Allocation Schedule within such ten (10) day period, the Allocation Schedule shall become final (the “Final Purchase Price Allocation”). If Seller provides written notice of its objection to the Allocation Schedule within such ten (10) day period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon a revised allocation, and any such agreed upon allocation shall become the Final Purchase Price Allocation. If Buyer and Seller cannot agree upon a revised allocation within twenty (20) days following Seller’s written notice of its objection to the Allocation Schedule, then the items in dispute shall be submitted to the Neutral Accountants, and the Neutral Accountants’ decision on such disputed matters, together with any agreed upon matters, shall constitute the Final Purchase Price Allocation. Buyer and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Neutral Accountants to make its determination as promptly as

possible and in any event within thirty (30) days after the Neutral Accountants has been retained, including, without limitation, by promptly complying with all reasonable requests for information, books, records and similar items (except to the extent privileged). The cost and expense of the Neutral Accountants for purposes of the foregoing dispute resolution shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Seller. The Final Purchase Price Allocation shall be binding on Buyer and Seller. In the event that any subsequent adjustment to the Purchase Price occurs as a result of (i) any indemnity payments made pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any adjustment to the amount of Assumed Liabilities or (iii) for any other reason, including the Net Working Capital adjustment, Buyer shall adjust the allocations under this Section 1.2(d) in such manner as it shall consider appropriate in its reasonable discretion and if Seller objects to such allocation, the Parties shall utilize the dispute mechanism set forth in this provision, as applicable.

(iii) The Final Purchase Price Allocation (and any adjustments thereto) shall be prepared in accordance with the rules under Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Parties recognize that the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities do not include Buyer’s acquisition expenses and that Buyer will allocate such expenses appropriately. The Parties agree to act in accordance with the computations and allocations contained in the Final Purchase Price Allocation in any relevant Tax Returns or filings (including any forms or reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code or any provisions of local, state and foreign law (“1060 Forms”)), and to cooperate in the preparation of any 1060 Forms and to file such 1060 Forms in the manner required by applicable law. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Final Purchase Price Allocation unless required to do so by applicable law.

Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third party to the assignment to Buyer at the Closing of each Deferred Item (as defined below) in all cases in which such consent is or may be required for such assignment. Buyer will cooperate to the extent commercially reasonable with Seller in Seller’s efforts to obtain such consents.

claims, rights and benefits, and (ii) Buyer shall assume any related Liability associated with the performance of the obligations of Seller under such Deferred Item, which arrangements shall include, without limitation, processes, procedures and protocols to ensure that (A) Seller (or its Affiliates) provides timely invoices to the third parties of Deferred Items with respect to a Designated Contract in accordance with payment schedules and terms and conditions of such Deferred Items, receives payment of such invoices from such third parties, and endorses and promptly pays to the order of Buyer payments received by Seller for the benefit of Buyer with respect to such Deferred Items and (B) Buyer makes payment to Seller to ensure timely payment of amounts owed to third parties of such Deferred Items in accordance with payments schedules and terms and conditions of such Deferred Items. If and to the extent that such arrangements cannot be made on terms and conditions acceptable to Seller and Buyer, Buyer shall have no obligation pursuant to Section 1.1(c) or otherwise with respect to any such Deferred Item or any Liability with respect thereto. After the Closing, Seller on the one hand, and Buyer on the other hand, shall take all actions (or shall cause its respective Affiliates to take all actions) reasonably requested by the other Party to effect the provisions of this Section 1.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is hereby clarified that nothing contained herein shall require Buyer to waive the condition set forth in Section 5.2(f).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the requisite governmental approvals for the transfer of Seller’s equity interest in Sycamore Shanghai have not been obtained prior to the Closing, until such time as the requisite governmental approvals are obtained and Seller’s equity interests in Sycamore Shanghai are transferred to Buyer, (i) Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite governmental approvals for the transfer of Seller’s equity interest in Sycamore Shanghai to Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, (ii) Seller shall operate Sycamore Shanghai for the benefit of Buyer, in accordance with Exhibit A of the Transition Services Agreement or as Buyer may otherwise reasonably instruct, in order that Buyer would obtain the economic claims, rights and benefits of the business of Sycamore Shanghai, and (iii) Buyer shall reimburse Seller, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, for all (A) expenditures or expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the business of Sycamore Shanghai following the Closing in accordance with the budget for Sycamore Shanghai set forth on Section 1.4(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, with such changes as may be effected in consultation with, and the agreement of, Buyer or as may be required in accordance with applicable law or increases in costs resulting from the actions of any Governmental Entity and (B) Liabilities incurred in connection with the operation of the business of Sycamore Shanghai following the Closing. Buyer and Seller agree that in the event that the requisite governmental approvals for the transfer of Seller’s equity interest in Sycamore Shanghai to Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer are not obtained prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing, Buyer shall establish its own wholly foreign owned enterprise in China (the “New WFOE”) and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer, convey and assign, or cause to be transferred, conveyed and assigned, all of the assets of Sycamore Shanghai that are Acquired Assets to the New WFOE, to the extent allowed by applicable law, and Buyer shall assume all Assumed Liabilities related to Sycamore Shanghai. For the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities of Sycamore Shanghai shall be included in the computation of Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.2(c) without regard to the ultimate timing of the transfer of the equity interests in, or the assets of, Sycamore Shanghai to Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer.

(c) Seller shall have no ongoing obligations under this Section 1.4 to the extent any such obligation would be reasonably likely to prevent or delay any actions by Seller to liquidate and dissolve pursuant to Delaware law.

At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, as and when reasonably requested by any Party hereto and at such Party’s expense, the other Party shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and certificates and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as are necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, in the case of the Transferred Subsidiaries, Seller, at the request of Buyer, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Buyer or its Affiliates, as applicable, or shall cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered to Buyer or its Affiliates, as applicable, without further

consideration, all such further assignments, conveyances, instruments of transfer, stock powers, endorsements, deeds, powers of attorney, consents and other documents and take such other action as Buyer may reasonably request to transfer to and fully vest in Buyer or its Affiliates, as applicable, and protect Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s, as applicable, right, title and interest in and to the equity interests and capital stock and assets of the Transferred Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof that, except as set forth in the disclosure schedule provided by Seller to Buyer (the “Disclosure Schedule”) and except as disclosed in the Seller SEC Documents:

2.1 Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power.

(a) Each of Seller and Sycamore Asia is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is duly qualified to conduct business under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities, in each case as they relate to the Business, makes such qualification necessary, except for any such failures to be qualified that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Business Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). Each of Seller and Sycamore Asia has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on the Business as it is currently conducted and to own and use the properties now owned and used by it. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Material Adverse Effect” means any change, effect or circumstance (any such item, an “Effect”) that (i) individually or in the aggregate has a materially adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Business or (ii) materially impairs the ability of Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that a “Business Material Adverse Effect” shall not include, either alone or in combination, any Effect resulting from or arising out of (A) the announcement of this Agreement or the pendency or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including (1) the identity of Buyer or (2) any employee attrition or the loss, diminution or disruption of Seller’s business or relationships with existing or prospective clients, customers or suppliers, in each case to the extent resulting from the public announcement of this Agreement or the pendency of the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) any action taken by Seller at the written request of Buyer or with Buyer’s written consent, (C) changes in the Business’ industry or in markets generally, (D) changes affecting the national or international general economic, political, legal or regulatory conditions, (E) changes in laws, regulations or U.S. GAAP (or any interpretation of U.S. GAAP) applicable to the Business, or (F) national or international political conditions or instability, including the engagement by the United States in hostilities, whether or not pursuant to a declaration of emergency or war, or the occurrence of any military or terrorist attack upon the United States or any other nation, except, in each of clauses (C) through (F) above, to the extent such changes have a materially disproportionate impact on the Business, taken as a whole, relative to other comparable businesses in the industry or markets in which the Business participates.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiaries” means all those corporations, associations, or other business entities of which the entity in question (i) owns or controls a majority of the outstanding equity securities either directly or through an unbroken chain of entities as to each of which a majority of the outstanding equity securities is owned directly or indirectly by its parent (provided, there shall not be included any such entity the equity securities of which are owned or controlled in a fiduciary capacity), (ii) in the case of partnerships, serves as a general partner, (iii) in the case of a limited liability company, serves as a managing member, or (iv) otherwise has the ability to elect a majority of the directors, trustees or managing members thereof.

(c) Section 2.1(c) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth the name of each Transferred Subsidiary, and, with respect to each Transferred Subsidiary, the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or organized, the jurisdictions, if any, in which it is qualified to do business, the number of shares of its authorized capital stock (or equity interests), the number and class of shares (or equity interests) thereof duly issued and outstanding, the names of all stockholders or other equity owners. Except for the Transferred Subsidiaries or as set forth on Section 2.1(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, Seller does not own, directly or indirectly, any Subsidiaries that participate in the conduct of the Business or which own any of the Acquired Assets. Each Transferred Subsidiary is a duly organized and validly existing corporation, partnership or other entity in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (or such similar concepts applicable to Transferred Subsidiaries or Transferred Foreign Branches that are organized outside of the United States) and each Transferred Subsidiary and each Transferred Foreign Branch is duly qualified or authorized to do business as a foreign corporation, entity or business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties requires such qualification or authorization (or such similar concepts applicable to Transferred Subsidiaries that are organized or doing business outside of the United States), except where the failure to be so qualified, authorized or in good standing has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect. Each Transferred Subsidiary has all requisite corporate or entity power and authority to own its properties and carry on its business as presently conducted. The outstanding shares of capital stock or equity interests of each Transferred Subsidiary are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (or comply with such similar concepts applicable to Transferred Subsidiaries that are organized outside of the United States) and were not issued in violation of any purchase or call option, right of first refusal, subscription right, preemptive right or any similar right. All such shares or other equity interests represented as being owned by Seller or any Transferred Subsidiary are owned by them, and will be transferred to Buyer at the Closing, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances.

(d) With respect to each Transferred Subsidiary, there are (i) no other shares of capital stock, or other securities issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance, (ii) no rights to receive shares on a deferred basis or otherwise, (iii) no stock appreciation rights or other similar rights, (iv) no securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of capital stock, ownership interests, voting securities or other securities, (v) no agreements or other rights to acquire or subscribe from any such Transferred Subsidiary, and no obligation of any such Transferred Subsidiary to issue capital stock, voting securities or other ownership interests in or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock or other securities of any Transferred Subsidiary, and (vi) no agreements relating to the rights of Seller to vote or to dispose of (or cause to be voted or disposed of) any shares of the capital stock (or other securities) of any of the Transferred Subsidiaries. No bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of any Transferred Subsidiary having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which stockholders may vote, are issued or outstanding. There are no rights or obligations, contingent or otherwise (including rights of first refusal of any Transferred Subsidiary), of any Transferred Subsidiary to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any outstanding securities of any Transferred Subsidiary or to provide funds to or make any investment (in the form of loan, capital contribution or otherwise) in any Person. There are no stockholder agreements, voting trusts, proxies or other similar agreements, arrangements or understandings to which any Transferred Subsidiary is a party, or by which it or they are bound. There are no registration rights or other similar agreements, arrangements or understandings to which any Transferred Subsidiary is a party, or by which any such Transferred Subsidiary is bound, obligating any such Transferred Subsidiary with respect to its securities.

(e) All of the corporate books and records of the Transferred Subsidiaries and of each Transferred Foreign Branch, to the extent required by applicable law and/or by its certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable governing documents) to the extent applicable, have been and are duly registered with all Governmental Entities requiring such registration and all publications were performed as and when required by applicable laws. The certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable governing documents) and all amendments thereto of the Transferred Subsidiaries are duly registered with all Governmental Entities requiring such registration.

2.2 Title to Assets.

To the extent permitted by applicable law or regulation, each Party shall give notice to the other Party with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Entity or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Entity, with such notice being sufficient to provide the other Party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact if permitted by applicable law or regulation.

4.6 Notices of Certain Events. From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall promptly notify the other Party of any of the following after gaining knowledge thereof:

(a) the breach or failure to be true and correct of any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to be true and correct would prevent the satisfaction by it of a condition in Section 5.2(a) or 5.3(a), as applicable, prior to the Outside Date;

(b) the occurrence of any change, condition or event that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect or Buyer Material Adverse Effect, as applicable;

(c) any material failure by such Party to comply with in any material respect any covenant or agreement to be complied with by it hereunder, which failure to comply with such covenant or agreement would prevent the satisfaction by it of a condition in Section 5.2(b) or 5.3(b), as applicable, prior to the Outside Date.

4.7 Cooperation with Financing. In the event Buyer wishes to obtain Financing from a lender, Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such assistance and cooperation with the Financing as Buyer and its Affiliates may reasonably request; provided, however that Seller’s compliance with this Section 4.7 shall in no way affect Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement.

4.8 Proxy Statement; Special Meeting.

(a) Seller shall, in accordance with Delaware law and Seller’s charter and bylaws, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Stockholder Meeting”) as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, for the purpose of obtaining the Stockholder Approval. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies for the purposes of obtaining the Stockholder Approval and to secure such Stockholder Approval in accordance with Delaware law and Seller’s charter and bylaws.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof (and in any event within twenty-three (23) calendar days), Seller shall prepare and file with the SEC a preliminary Proxy Statement with the SEC to be used in connection with the solicitation of proxies at the Stockholder Meeting. Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC and its staff and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a definitive Proxy Statement as soon as practicable following resolution of any SEC comments and mail to its stockholders the Proxy Statement and all other proxy materials for such Stockholder Meeting. If necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws, after the Proxy Statement shall have been so mailed, promptly circulate amended, supplemental or supplemented proxy material, and, if required in connection therewith, resolicit proxies. Subject to Section 4.9, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the board of directors of Seller (the “Board of Directors”) shall recommend that the stockholders of Seller vote in favor of approval of the sale of the Acquired Assets pursuant to this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby (“Board Recommendation”) and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fail to make, or withdraw, modify or change such recommendation, and shall not be required to include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement, if it shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that such action is necessary in order for the Board of Directors to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless this Agreement is otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms, the approval of the sale of the Acquired Assets pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be submitted to Seller’s stockholders at the Stockholder Meeting whether or not any Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly proposed or announced or otherwise submitted to Seller.

(c) Buyer shall furnish all information concerning Buyer, as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation and filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement so as to comply with applicable law. Buyer and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement before such document (or any amendment or supplement thereto) is filed with the SEC, and Seller shall consider in such document any comments reasonably and timely proposed by Buyer and its counsel. Seller shall (i) as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide Buyer and its counsel with copies of any written comments, and advise Buyer and its counsel of any comments, with respect to the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) received from the SEC or its staff, (ii) provide Buyer and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review Seller’s proposed response to such comments, and (iii) consider for inclusion in Seller’s written response to such comments any input reasonably and timely proposed by Buyer and its counsel.

4.9 No Solicitation.

(a) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 4.9, Seller shall cease, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to cease, immediately any existing discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with Buyer in regard to the Business. With respect to any Person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with whom such discussions or negotiations have been terminated, Seller shall instruct such Person or group to promptly return or destroy in accordance with the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement any non-public information furnished by or on behalf of Seller.

(b) From and after the date of this Agreement and until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and shall cause its respective officers, directors, employees and representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, seek or

knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information regarding Seller or any of its Subsidiaries) or facilitate, any inquiries, proposals or offers from any Person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than Buyer and its Affiliates) that constitute, or could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations (including by way of furnishing non-public information concerning Seller or the Business) with any third party (other than Buyer, its Affiliates and their representatives and Seller’s representatives) relating to, or which Seller believes would reasonably be likely to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, an Acquisition Proposal or enter into any contract or agreement in principle relating to an Acquisition Proposal or enter into any contract or agreement in principle requiring Seller to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or breach its obligations hereunder or propose or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.9, following the date of this Agreement until the date of the Stockholder Meeting at which the Stockholder Approval is obtained (“End Date”), if Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or representatives receives an Acquisition Proposal from any Person, which Acquisition Proposal was made or renewed on or after the date of this Agreement but prior to the End Date and that did not result from breach of Section 4.9(b), (i) Seller may contact and engage in discussions with such Person solely for the purpose of clarifying such Acquisition Proposal and any material terms and conditions thereof so as to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal is, or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; or (ii) Seller or its representatives may, if the Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law and that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or is reasonably expected to result in, a Superior Proposal, then Seller and its representatives may (A) furnish, pursuant to a confidentiality agreement similar to that entered into with Buyer (with respect to the confidentiality provisions contained therein), information with respect to Seller and the Business to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal; provided that Seller shall promptly provide to Buyer any non-public information concerning Seller or the Business that is provided to any Person given such access which was not previously provided to Buyer or its representatives and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal.

(d) Seller shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after receipt), notify Buyer in writing of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, any inquiries relating to an Acquisition Proposal or any request for information from, or any negotiations sought to be initiated or continued with, either Seller or its representatives concerning an Acquisition Proposal. Seller’s notice shall include (i) a copy of any Acquisition Proposal made in writing and other written materials provided by such Person to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives or (ii) a written summary of the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request, including the identity of the Person or group of Persons making the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request to the extent such information is not contained in the written materials provided to Buyer. Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed in all respects on a timely basis (and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days of the occurrence of any significant changes, developments, discussions or negotiations) of the status of any Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request (including the material terms and conditions thereof and of any material modification thereto), and any material developments, discussions and negotiations. None of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement that would prohibit them from providing such information to Buyer. To the extent that Seller has entered into any confidentiality agreement prior to the date hereof that would prevent Seller from providing information to Buyer that Seller would otherwise be required to provide to Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.9(d), Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts prior to engaging in any discussion or provision of information regarding an Acquisition Proposal, to obtain a waiver of such confidentiality agreement to enable Seller to provide such information to Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9(d).

(e) Subject to Section 4.8(b), neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall (i) fail to make, withdraw, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Buyer the Board Recommendation, (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, to the stockholders of Seller, an Acquisition

Proposal, (iii) if a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of capital stock of Seller that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal is commenced, fail to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by Seller stockholders (including, for these purposes, by taking no position with respect to the acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by its stockholders, which shall constitute a failure to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer) within ten (10) Business Days after commencement thereof, (iv) terminate, amend, waive, or exempt any Person or group from, the restrictions contained in any standstill agreements or any takeover laws or otherwise cause any such restrictions therein not to apply (other than to the extent the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take any of such actions under this clause would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Delaware law and is necessary to facilitate an Acquisition Proposal in compliance with Section 4.9(c)), (v) approve, authorize or permit or allow Seller to enter into any letter of intent, asset purchase agreement, merger or acquisition agreement or any similar agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (other than an acceptable confidentiality agreement permitted under Section 4.9(c)) or (vi) resolve, propose to a third party or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (any of the foregoing, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”); provided, however, if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and its independent financial advisor, that a written Acquisition Proposal received by Seller in compliance with Section 4.9(c) constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors may (A) make an Adverse Recommendation Change subject to compliance with this Section 4.9(e); and/or (B) upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, approve and enter into an agreement relating to a Superior Proposal, but, in either case, subject to the satisfaction of the following: (w) Seller shall have provided prior written notice to Buyer, at least three (3) Business Days in advance, of its or the Board of Directors’ intention to take such actions, which notice shall specify the reasons therefor and the material terms of the Acquisition Proposal received by Seller that constitutes a Superior Proposal, including a copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements with, and the identity of, the party making the Acquisition Proposal; (x) after providing such notice and prior to taking such actions, Seller shall, and shall cause its representatives to, negotiate with Buyer in good faith (to the extent Buyer desires to negotiate) during such three (3) Business Day period to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; (y) Buyer and its financial and legal advisors shall be permitted to make a presentation to the Board of Directors regarding this Agreement and any adjustments thereto (to the extent Buyer desires to make such a presentation), and (z) the Board of Directors shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement and the Related Agreements that may be offered in writing by Buyer by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the third Business Day of such three (3) Business Day period in a manner that would form a binding contract (including the complete form of definitive acquisition agreement executed on behalf of Buyer and all exhibits and other attachments thereto, and subject only to acceptance by Seller by countersignature on behalf of Seller and those conditions set forth therein) if accepted by Seller and shall have determined in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and independent financial advisors that the Acquisition Proposal received by Seller has not been withdrawn and continues to constitute a Superior Proposal if such changes offered in writing by Buyer were given effect. In the event of any material revisions to the Superior Proposal (it being agreed that material revisions shall include any change in the purchase price, form of consideration, transaction timing, transaction financing or transaction structure for such Superior Proposal), Seller shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Buyer pursuant to the foregoing clause (w) and to comply again with the requirements of this Section 4.9(e) with respect to such new written notice.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement, an “Acquisition Proposal” means any inquiry, offer or proposal, or any indication of interest in making an offer or proposal made by a Person or group, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, which is structured (i) to permit such Person or group to acquire beneficial ownership of (A) 20% or more of the consolidated assets of Seller with respect to the Business, or to which more than 20% of Seller’s revenues on a consolidated basis are attributable with respect to the Business, or (B) 20% or more of the combined voting securities of Seller, (ii) as any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning 20% or more of the combined voting securities of Seller, (iii) as a merger, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in which the other party thereto or its stockholders will own

20% or more of the combined voting securities of the parent entity resulting from any such transaction, or (iv) as any combination of the foregoing types of transactions if the sum of percentage of the consolidated assets, consolidated revenues attributable to the Business and Seller’s voting securities involved is more than 20%; in each case other than transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall an Acquisition Proposal include any inquiry, offer or proposal, or any indication of interest (i) solely with respect to the sale or other disposition or acquisition of the Excluded Assets or any asset exclusively related to the IQstream Business or (ii) with respect to any sale or other disposition, individually or in the aggregate, of products or services of the Business in the ordinary course of business. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that (x) is on terms that the Board of Directors determines (after consultation with its outside counsel and independent financial advisor) are more beneficial and favorable to Seller’s stockholders from the financial point of view, taking into account all of the legal, financial (including the financing terms of such proposal), regulatory and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal (including the likelihood and timing of consummation thereof) and this Agreement (including any changes in the terms of this Agreement committed to by Buyer to Seller in writing in response to such Acquisition Proposal or otherwise), and (y) which the Board of Directors has determined in its good faith judgment (after consultation with Seller’s outside counsel and independent financial advisor and after taking into account all legal, financial (including the financing terms of such proposal), regulatory and other aspects of the proposal) is reasonably likely to be consummated (if accepted), except that the references to “20%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

Nothing contained in this Section 4.9 shall prohibit Seller from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, failure so to disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable law (after consultation with its outside legal counsel); provided, however, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall recommend that the stockholders approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal unless the applicable requirements of Section 4.9(c) shall have been satisfied. In addition, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, any disclosure other than a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication by the Board of Directors of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, an express rejection of any applicable Acquisition Proposal or an express reaffirmation of its recommendation to its stockholders in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change.

6.3 Claims for Indemnification.

(a) Third-Party Claims. All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to or arising out of a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. A Person entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification to the Person from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the written assertion of any such claim by a third party, provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced thereby, and then only to such extent. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim; provided, that prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming control of such defense, it shall provide reasonable assurance to Indemnified Party of its financial ability to bear the cost of prosecuting such action, suit, proceeding or claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any Liability on the Indemnified Party, or any matters with respect to Taxes, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall direct their respective counsel to reasonably cooperate with the other.

(b) Procedure for Other Claims. An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article VI which is not subject to Section 6.3(a) shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) which contains (i) a description and, if then known, the amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party or the method of computation of the amount of such claim of any Damages, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages (including wire instructions if payment is requested to be made by wire transfer). Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (A) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), (B) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), or (C) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount including the reasons therefor. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith

efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.13.

6.4 Survival.

(a) The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer set forth in this Agreement and the certificates delivered at Closing pursuant to Sections 5.2(c) and 5.3(c) shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.4. All such representations and warranties shall expire on the nine-month anniversary of the Closing Date, except for the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Sections 2.1, 2.2 (other than Section 2.2(b)), 2.3, 2.8 and 2.18 and of Buyer contained in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), each of which shall survive the Closing until the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

(b) None of the covenants (other than Section 6.1(c)) or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing and each such surviving covenant and agreement shall survive the Closing only until the expiration of the term of the undertaking set forth in such agreement and covenant.

(c) No Party shall have any Liability of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof; provided, however, any valid claim that is properly asserted in writing pursuant to Section 6.3 prior to the expiration as provided in Section 6.4(a) or Section 6.4(b) of the representation or warranty or covenant that is the basis for such claim shall survive solely for the purpose of such claim until such claim is finally resolved and satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, the Tax indemnification obligations set forth in Section 6.1(c) shall survive the Closing until the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

6.5 Limitations.

(a) Subject to Section 10.12 and except with respect to claims made pursuant to Article VIII, from and after the Closing, the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to claims resulting from any breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement. Subject to Section 10.12, from and after the Closing, the rights of Buyer and Seller under Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and Seller with respect to the subject matter of Article VIII. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing two sentences, in no event shall Buyer, its successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions consummated under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve or limit the liability of any Party or any officer or director of such Party from any liability arising out of or resulting from common law fraud or intentional misrepresentation in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with the delivery of any of the documents referred to herein.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the following limitations shall apply:

(i) the aggregate liability of Seller for all Damages under Section 6.1(a)(i) shall not exceed an amount equal to $2,812,500 (the “Applicable Cap Amount”); and

(ii) A Buyer Indemnified Party shall have no right to indemnification under Section 6.1(a)(i) (other than on account of the breach of any Fundamental Representation) unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages suffered by such Buyer Indemnified Party under such section exceeds $100,000 (the “Threshold”), whereupon the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified for all Damages (including Damages up to the Threshold), subject to the Applicable Cap Amount.

(c) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be responsible and liable for any Damages or other amounts under this Article VI that are consequential, in the nature of lost profits, diminutions in value, special or punitive or otherwise not actual Damages, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are awarded to a third party against, and paid by, any Indemnified Party in circumstances in which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any limitation or qualification as to materiality, Business Material Adverse Effect or Buyer Material Adverse Effect shall be disregarded solely for purposes of determining the amount of any Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation, but such limitations and obligations shall not be disregarded for purposes of determining whether there has been any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement.

(e) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI shall be computed net of any third party insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party and reduced by the tax benefit actually realized in the year the Damages are incurred.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.1 shall in no way form the basis of any claim by a Buyer Indemnified Party or otherwise serve to prevent the liquidation and dissolution of Seller following the Closing.

6.6 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, to the extent consistent with applicable law.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION

7.1 Termination of Agreement. The Parties may terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing as provided below:

(a) by mutual written agreement of Seller and Buyer;

(b) by Buyer if any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement are inaccurate or untrue to the extent that any such inaccuracy or untruth would cause the failure of the condition set forth in Section 5.2(a) to be satisfied or if Seller has failed to discharge and fulfill any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement to the extent that any such failure would cause the failure of the condition set forth in Section 5.2(b) to be satisfied, and such inaccuracy or failure has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure, inaccuracy or untruth has been given to Seller; provided, however, that Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this section if Buyer is in material breach of this Agreement;

(c) by Seller if any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement are inaccurate or untrue to the extent that any such inaccuracy or untruth would cause the failure of the condition set forth in Section 5.3(a) to be satisfied or if Buyer has failed to discharge and fulfill any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement to the extent that any such failure would cause the failure of the condition set forth in Section 5.3(b) to be satisfied, and such inaccuracy or failure has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure, inaccuracy or untruth has been given to Buyer; provided, however, that Seller shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this section if Seller is in material breach of this Agreement;

(d) by Buyer or Seller if (i) any Governmental Entity shall have obtained a court order or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such court order or action is or shall have become final and no longer subject to appeal or (ii) the Closing shall

not have occurred on or before 5:00 p.m., New York, New York local time on March 15, 2013 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that no Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (ii) if such Party’s failure to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement shall have been the reason that the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to such time;

(e) by Seller or Buyer, if the Stockholder Meeting shall have been held and completed and the Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained at the Stockholder Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof;

(f) by Seller if, subject to complying with the terms of Section 4.9, the Board of Directors authorizes Seller to enter into a binding definitive agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal; provided, that Seller shall have paid any amounts due pursuant to Section 7.2(b) hereof in accordance with the terms, and at the times, specified therein; and provided further, that in the event of such termination, Seller substantially concurrently enters into such binding definitive agreement in respect of such Superior Proposal;

(g) by Buyer, if, following receipt by Seller of an Acquisition Proposal: (A) an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred; (B) the Board of Directors shall have failed to publicly confirm the Board Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days of a written request by Buyer that it do so; or (C) the Board of Directors shall have failed to include in the Proxy Statement when filed the Board Recommendation; or

(h) by Buyer, if the Board of Directors exercises its right to fail to make, or withdraw, modify or change the Board Recommendation pursuant to Section 4.8(b).

7.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other Party, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no effect without liability of any Party (or any stockholder or Representative of such Party) to each other Party hereto, except with respect to the Confidentiality Agreement, this Section 7.2, and Article X; provided, that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for any Damages resulting from fraud or a Willful Breach of this Agreement. As used herein, “Willful Breach” means a material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant or other agreement set forth in this Agreement that is a consequence of any act or failure to act by the other Party with the actual knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a breach of this Agreement.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to (i) Section 7.1(h) after the Stockholder Meeting has been held and completed and the Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained at the Stockholder Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof or (ii) Section 7.1(g), then Seller shall pay to Buyer (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) within two Business Days following the occurrence of such termination a fee in an amount equal to $656,250 (“Seller Termination Fee”).

(c) If this Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(f), then Seller shall pay to Buyer (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) Seller Termination Fee concurrently with such termination.

(d) The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 7.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, no Party would enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Seller fails to pay any amount due to Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.2, when due, Seller shall pay the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) in connection with any action taken to collect payment (including the prosecution of any lawsuit or other legal action), together with interest on the unpaid amount at the publicly announced prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in New York City from the date such amount was first payable to the date it is paid. Each of the Parties hereto further acknowledges that the payment of the Seller Termination Fee by Seller is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages in a reasonable

amount that will compensate Buyer in the circumstances in which such fee is payable and which do not involve fraud or a Willful Breach as described in this Section 7.2 for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Seller Termination Fee is payable to Buyer, payment of the Seller Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and its Affiliates against Seller and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future stockholders, managers, employees, representatives, members, directors, officers, Affiliates or agents for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, except in the case of fraud or Willful Breach.

ARTICLE VIII

TAX MATTERS

8.1 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Seller and Buyer shall be equally responsible for the payment of any transfer, sales, use, stamp, conveyance, value added, recording, registration, documentary, filing and other non-income Taxes and administrative fees (including notary fees) arising in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”), including any Transfer Taxes imposed on the transfer of any of the Transferred Subsidiaries.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement,

(i) “Pre-Closing Taxes” means a Tax that is attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(ii) “Pre-Closing Tax Period” means a Tax period that ends on or before the Closing Date and the portion of a Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date;

(iii) Whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for real property, personal property and similar ad valorem Taxes for or with respect to the Acquired Assets for a taxable period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including, and for the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after, the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during the Straddle Period before and including the Closing Date, or the number of calendar days during the Straddle Period beginning the day after the Closing Date, as applicable, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; and

(iv) “Post-Closing Tax Period” means a Tax period that begins after the Closing Date and the portion of a Straddle Period that begins after the Closing Date.

(v) Whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for all Taxes not referenced in Section 8.1(b)(iii) (such as income, employee, payroll Taxes and any Taxes imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible)) it shall be determined as if the Straddle Period ended at the end of the day on the Closing Date (except that (x) solely for purposes of determining the marginal Tax rate applicable to income or receipts during such period in a jurisdiction in which such Tax rate depends upon the amount or level of income or receipts, annualized income or receipts may be taken into account if appropriate for an equitable sharing of such Taxes and (y) exemptions, allowances and deductions that are otherwise calculated on an annual basis shall be apportioned on a daily basis).

8.2 Cooperation on Tax Matters; Tax Audits.

(a) Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing upon receipt by Buyer, any of Buyer’s Affiliates or any Transferred Subsidiary of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or assessments which may affect the Tax liabilities of any Transferred Subsidiary for which Seller would be required to indemnify Buyer pursuant to Section 6.1(c); provided that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Buyer’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent such failure results in an increase in the amount for which Seller is liable under Section 6.1(c). Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing upon receipt by Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or assessments which may affect the Tax liabilities of any Transferred Subsidiary for which Buyer would be required to indemnify Seller pursuant to Section 6.2(c); provided that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Seller’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent such failure directly results in an increase in the amount for which Buyer is liable under Section 6.2(c). Seller and Buyer shall fully cooperate in providing Tax information reasonably required in connection with any audits or for other reasonable purposes.

(b) Seller shall have the right to represent each Transferred Subsidiary’s interests in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and to employ counsel of its choice and at its expense; provided, however, that Buyer shall be entitled to participate in the conduct of such audit or administrative or court proceeding at its expense. If Seller chooses not to represent a Transferred Subsidiary in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, then Buyer shall have the sole right to represent such Transferred Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be entitled to settle after the Closing Date, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any claim for Taxes which would adversely affect in any material respect the liability for Taxes of Buyer or any Transferred Subsidiary for any years or periods ending after the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Buyer. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall not be necessary to the extent that Seller has indemnified Buyer against the effects of any such settlement.

(c) Buyer shall have the sole right to represent each Transferred Subsidiary’s interests in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding for Post-Closing Tax Periods, and to employ counsel of its choice and at its expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be entitled to settle after the Closing Date, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any claim for Taxes which would adversely affect in any material respect the liability for Taxes of Seller or any Transferred Subsidiary for any period for which Seller must indemnify Buyer pursuant to Section 6.1(c) without the prior written consent of Seller. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall not be necessary to the extent that Buyer has indemnified Seller against the effects of any such settlement.

(d) Seller shall have the sole right to represent each Transferred Subsidiary’s interests in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to any Straddle Period, and to employ counsel of its choice and at its expense; provided, however, that if such audit or administrative or court proceeding would be reasonably likely to result in a material increase in Tax liability of any Transferred Subsidiary which may be subject to indemnification by Buyer pursuant to Section 6.2(c), Buyer shall be entitled to participate in the conduct of such audit or administrative or court proceeding at its expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Seller nor any Transferred Subsidiary may agree to settle any claim for the portion of the Straddle Period which may be the subject of indemnification by Buyer under Section 6.2(c) without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) Buyer, each Transferred Subsidiary, and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, examination, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer, each Transferred Subsidiary,

and Seller agree, upon request, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder).

8.3 Preparation and Filing of Certain Tax Returns; Sales and Use Taxes.

(a) Seller shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, taking into account all valid extensions of time to file, all Tax Returns of each Transferred Subsidiary (or Tax Returns in which such Transferred Subsidiary is required to be included) that are required to be filed for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller with respect to the filing of all such Tax Returns. Seller shall provide copies of all such Tax Returns to Buyer no later than fifteen (15) days before the due date of such Tax Returns. Seller shall make all such reasonable changes as are requested by Buyer that are in accordance with applicable law, and for which the position is more likely than not to be sustained if challenged. Seller shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes shown to be due on Tax Returns that it is responsible for preparing and filing under this Agreement.

(b) Buyer shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, taking into account all valid extensions of time to file, all Tax Returns of each Transferred Subsidiary (or Tax Returns in which such Transferred Subsidiary is required to be included, other than Tax Returns that include Seller or its Affiliates) that are required to be filed for any Straddle Period. Seller shall, at its expense, cooperate with Buyer in the preparation of Straddle Period Tax Returns including, without limitation, the furnishing of Tax information for the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period. Buyer shall pay to the appropriate Governmental Entity the full amount of Taxes shown on any Straddle Period Tax Return, and Seller shall promptly reimburse Buyer for Seller’s share of such Taxes (or Buyer shall promptly pay Seller for Seller’s share of any refund or overpayment of such Taxes) as determined under Section 8.1. Such determination shall take into account any estimated tax payments made by Seller, any of Seller’s Affiliates or the Transferred Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (i) Seller shall prepare and timely file all U.S. state sales tax and Australian goods and services tax (“Australian GST”) returns in connection with the Accounts Receivable that are included in the Acquired Assets and pay the respective U.S. state sales tax and Australian GST that are due with respect to such Accounts Receivable, (ii) to the extent that Buyer receives payment on such Accounts Receivable that includes U.S. state sales tax or Australian GST, Buyer shall, pursuant to Section 9.7 of this Agreement, remit to Seller the portion of the payment that represents the U.S. state sales tax or Australian GST to Seller promptly after receipt, (iii) to the extent that Seller receives payment on such Accounts Receivable, Seller shall, pursuant to Section 9.7 of this Agreement, remit to Buyer promptly after receipt the portion of the payment other than the portion that represents the U.S. state sales tax or Australian GST that it has paid, and (iv) to the extent that Sycamore Networks Japan K.K. (“Japan K.K.”) has a consumption tax liability with respect to the Accounts Receivable of Japan K.K. at the Closing that is not satisfied through the collection of the respective Accounts Receivable within three months of Closing, Seller shall make payment of such amount to Buyer.

8.4 Action by Buyer. Except as required by applicable law, none of Buyer, the Transferred Subsidiaries or their Subsidiaries shall amend or file any Tax Returns of Seller or a Transferred Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, without the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the portion of the Closing Date after the time of Closing, other than transactions expressly contemplated hereby, Buyer shall cause the Transferred Subsidiaries to carry on their business and operate the Acquired Assets and Business only in the ordinary course in the same manner as previously conducted.

8.5 Withholding Taxes. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price all Taxes that Buyer may be required to deduct and withhold under any applicable provision of Tax law. All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to Seller and Buyer shall remit or cause to be remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity the amounts withheld as required under any applicable provision of Tax law. Buyer shall

notify Seller at least four (4) Business Days prior to Closing of any amount Buyer intends to withhold under this Section 8.5. Buyer and Seller agree to use their reasonable best efforts to avoid or mitigate the imposition of any withholding Taxes.

8.6 Tax Refunds.

(a) Any Tax refund (including any interest in respect thereof) received by Buyer or any Transferred Subsidiary, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Buyer or any Transferred Subsidiary becomes entitled (including by way of any amended Tax Returns or any carryback filing), that relate to Pre-Closing Tax Period, shall be for the account of Seller, and Buyer shall pay over to Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit within 10 days after receipt of such credit or entitlement thereto, net of any expenses incurred in receiving the refund. Buyer shall pay Seller interest at the rate prescribed under Section 6621(a)(1) of the Code, compounded daily, on any amount not paid when due under this Section 8.6; provided, however, that if the refund is attributable to a tax attribute that arose post-Closing, the refund shall be for the account of Buyer.

(b) Any Tax refund (including any interest in respect thereof) received by Seller, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Seller become entitled (including by way of any amended Tax Returns or any carryback filing), that relate to any taxable period, or portion thereof, for which Buyer is liable pursuant to Section 6.2(c), shall be for the account of Buyer and Seller shall pay over to Buyer any such refund or the amount of any such credit within 10 days after receipt of such credit or entitlement thereto. Seller shall pay Buyer interest at the rate prescribed under Section 6621(a)(1) of the Code, compounded daily, on any amount not paid when due under this Section 8.6.

(c) Each of Seller and Buyer shall cooperate, and cause each of their Affiliates to cooperate, in obtaining any Tax refund that the other Party reasonably believes should be available, including through filing appropriate forms with the applicable Governmental Entity; provided that Buyer and the Transferred Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to claim any Tax refund if such Tax refund will materially adversely affect Buyer or the Transferred Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE IX

FURTHER AGREEMENTS

9.1 Post-Closing Information.

(a) For a period of seven (7) years following the Closing, Buyer shall, and Buyer shall cause the Transferred Subsidiaries and the Affiliates of Buyer with respect to the Business (i) to use commercially reasonable efforts to retain the Records and (ii) promptly following the reasonable written request of Seller, provide to Seller and its representatives information in its possession, to the extent necessary (A) to prepare or defend any judicial or administrative proceeding related to the Business, (B) to enable Seller and its representatives to satisfy Seller’s and its Affiliates’ financial reporting and Tax preparation obligations or (C) for any reasonable corporate purpose of Seller. Buyer shall be entitled to receive from Seller, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-of-pocket expenses, as may reasonably be incurred in providing such information.

(b) After the Closing, Buyer shall respond to reasonable, written requests for information and assistance by Seller in connection with Seller completing the audit of its accounts and preparation of its required federal, state and local Tax Returns.

9.2 Disclosure Generally. Any information furnished in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule (or any update thereto) shall be deemed to be disclosed and modify all of Seller’s representations and warranties only to

the extent that the applicability of such disclosed information to such other Section of the Disclosure Schedule is reasonably apparent that the disclosed matter, document or item would relate to one or more other representations or warranties or the matters covered thereby. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedule (or any update thereto) shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material to the Business, has resulted in or would result in a Business Material Adverse Effect, or is outside the ordinary course of business. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “to the knowledge of Seller,” “to Seller’s knowledge,” “known by Seller” or other words of similar meaning shall mean the actual knowledge of the persons listed on Section 9.2 of the Disclosure Schedule attached hereto, after reasonable inquiry of their direct reports, and shall not refer to the knowledge of any other person or entity.

9.3 Certain Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Offer of Employment; Continuation of Employment. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer agrees that it will make offers of employment to all of the employees of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries set forth on Section 9.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedule (each, a “Business Employee”) in good faith, with salary and eligibility for bonus compensation that is no less favorable in the aggregate than that provided by Seller or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, providing for employment in the same general vicinity at which the Business Employee was employed immediately prior to the Closing, and with other terms and conditions such that, if the offer is declined by the Business Employee, the Business Employee shall not be deemed to have suffered an “employment loss” for purposes of WARN. Nothing herein shall be construed as an offer of employment on other than an employee-at-will basis.

(b) Continuity of Service. Buyer shall offer employment commencing on the Closing Date to all Business Employees, including those on vacation, military leave, leave of absence (whether paid or unpaid), disability or layoff, on the terms set forth in Section 9.3(a). Any Business Employee that accepts employment with Buyer is referred to herein as a “New Buyer Employee”.

(c) Compensation; Employee Benefits. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Business Employees shall cease to participate in or accrue further benefits under the Business Benefit Plans (other than the Acquired Benefit Plans) immediately prior to the Closing. Except as otherwise set forth in an offer letter contemplated by Section 9.3(a), beginning on the Closing Date, Buyer shall maintain (or cause its Affiliates to maintain) employee benefit plans, agreements, programs, policies and arrangements for the benefit of each New Buyer Employee (“Buyer Plans”) that are substantially similar in the aggregate to the Employee Benefit Plans in effect immediately prior to the Closing with respect to New Buyer Employees. All Buyer Plans and Buyer severance pay plans, programs or practices, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall recognize all credited service of New Buyer Employees with Seller and its Subsidiaries (and their predecessors, to the extent such service is credited by Seller or a Subsidiary) for purposes of eligibility and vesting and level of benefits (but not for benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan) to the same extent such service was recognized under similar plans maintained by Seller or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Date, except as would result in a duplication of benefits. To the extent permitted by applicable law, such service also shall apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any pre-existing condition limitations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Buyer Plan shall waive pre-existing condition limitations to the same extent waived or no longer applicable under the applicable benefit plan of Seller or its Subsidiaries. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each New Buyer Employee shall be given credit under the applicable Buyer Plan for amounts paid under a corresponding Business Benefit Plan during the plan year in which the Closing occurs for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall maintain in effect for the twelve month period following the Closing a severance plan covering New Buyer Employees, which plan shall provide for severance payments and benefits to each New Buyer Employee who is terminated without cause by Buyer or an Affiliate during such period that are no less favorable than the severance payments and benefits to which the New Buyer Employee would have been entitled under the applicable plan of Seller, each of which is

set forth on Section 2.14(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, upon a termination of employment by Seller or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, without cause immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however that Buyer may, in its sole discretion, not (i) provide separation pay and benefits to New Buyer Employees who are full-time employees as of the Closing and who choose, other than at the request of Buyer, to become regular, part-time U.S. employees following the Closing and (ii) provide separation pay and benefits for any New Buyer Employee at Grade ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ who has not achieved thirteen (13) years of service prior the Closing at a level greater than twenty-six (26) weeks of such New Buyer Employee’s base salary and benefits.

(d) Certain Amounts. With respect to any accrued but unused paid-time off, personal, sick or vacation time to which any New Buyer Employee is entitled pursuant to the personal, sick or vacation policies applicable to such New Buyer Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Accrued PTO”) and with respect to any accrued but unpaid salary, bonus, incentive pay or similar compensation to which any New Buyer Employee is entitled to immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Accrued Compensation”), Buyer shall credit the New Buyer Employee with such Accrued PTO and Accrued Compensation, as applicable; provided, however, if any New Buyer Employee is to be paid for such Accrued PTO or Accrued Compensation, Seller shall pay in cash an amount equal to such Accrued PTO and Accrued Compensation to such New Buyer Employee on or prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall reimburse Seller at Closing for any such amounts in excess of $136,724, in the aggregate, paid by Seller to all such New Buyer Employees and Buyer shall not credit any such New Buyer Employees with any Accrued PTO or Accrued Compensation, as applicable. In the event that Seller or an Affiliate is required to provide severance payments or benefits to any New Buyer Employees who were employees of Sycamore Asia, as a result of the termination of employment of any such employee from Sycamore Asia in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the cost of any such severance payments or benefits within ten (10) Business Days following submission by Seller to Buyer of reasonable documentation of the cost of such severance payments or benefits.

(e) Flexible Spending Accounts. Effective as of the last day of the month in which Closing occurs, New Business Employees shall no longer be eligible to contribute to the flexible spending account sponsored by Seller except as otherwise provided by and in accordance with COBRA (such accounts, “Seller FSA” and such participants in the Seller FSA, “FSA Participants”). Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall establish flexible spending accounts which shall (i) permit immediate participation as of the first day of the month immediately following Closing for all FSA Participants and (ii) accept for reimbursement any claims related to the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs and eligible for reimbursement on the basis of participant elections initially made under the Seller FSA, which have not been previously reimbursed by Seller. The salary reduction election of FSA Participants under the Seller FSA will be continued by Buyer following Closing. Seller shall provide to Buyer as soon as administratively feasible following the Closing Date, a schedule setting forth the FSA Participants and the amount each FSA Participant has elected to contribute to the Seller FSA for the current calendar year and the amount reimbursed by the Seller FSA to the FSA Participant (or eligible dependent) (the “FSA Balances”). To the extent the FSA Balances in the aggregate are positive, Seller shall make a payment to Buyer equal to the aggregate FSA Balances by the tenth (10^th) Business Day following the date on which Seller provides such schedule to Buyer. To the extent the FSA Balances in the aggregate are negative, Buyer shall make a payment to Seller equal to the aggregate FSA Balances by the tenth (10^th) Business Day following the date on which Seller provides such schedule to Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person who elects COBRA continuation coverage with respect to such person’s flexible spending account shall be considered a FSA Participant and any such person’s flexible spending account balance shall not be a FSA Balance.

(f) U.S. WARN Act. Seller and its Subsidiaries shall not, at any time ninety (90) days before the Closing Date, without complying fully with the notice requirements of WARN, effectuate (i) a “plant closing” (as defined in WARN) affecting any “single site of employment” (as defined in the regulations under WARN) included in the Business; (ii) a “mass layoff” (as defined in WARN) affecting any site of employment included in the Business; or (iii) any similar action under WARN requiring notice to employees of the Business in the event of an employment loss or layoff. For a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall not engage in any conduct which would result in an employment loss for a sufficient number of employees of Buyer which,

if aggregated with any such conduct on the part of Seller or the Transferred Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date, would trigger WARN.

(g) U.S. COBRA. Seller shall retain or assume responsibility for, and shall be responsible for administering compliance with, the continuation coverage requirements for “group health plans” under Title X of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) and any other similar applicable law with respect to New Buyer Employees and their covered dependents who incur a COBRA qualifying event or loss of coverage under any Business Benefit Plan at any time on or before the Closing Date and with respect to any current or former employee of Seller that is not a New Buyer Employee. Seller shall take all steps necessary to ensure that Buyer shall not become responsible for providing COBRA or any other similar applicable law with respect to any employees or former employees of Seller. Buyer shall assume responsibility for, and shall be responsible for administering compliance with, the continuation coverage requirements under COBRA and any other similar applicable law with respect to New Buyer Employees and their covered dependents who incur a COBRA qualifying event or loss of coverage after the Closing Date.

9.4 Use of Names. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cease to use the names set forth on Section 9.4(a) of the Disclosure Schedule and any name confusingly similar thereto (collectively, the “Restricted Names”) and any trademarks, trade names, trade dress, service marks and logos that use or incorporate any Restricted Name. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, remove from the Excluded Assets any and all Restricted Names and any trademarks, trade names, trade dress, service marks and logos that use or incorporate any Restricted Name (it being understood that this requirement shall not apply to fair use of any Restricted Name, including, but not limited to, in documents and materials kept as records, or to be archived as records, for historical purposes or as required by applicable law). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, following the Closing Seller and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to use (i) the trademarks and names “Sycamore” and “Sycamore Networks” in the corporate names or business names set forth on Section 9.4(b) of the Disclosure Schedule and (ii) any domain name or website containing “Sycamore” and “Sycamore Networks” set forth on Section 9.4(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, in each case, in connection with and until the completion of the dissolution, winding-up and liquidation of Seller and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Seller or its Subsidiaries use the names “Sycamore” or “Sycamore Networks” following the Closing for purposes of marketing or selling any products or services.

9.5 Confidentiality.

(a) Each of Seller and Buyer shall not, and shall cause its respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives not to, without the prior written consent of the other Party, disclose, furnish or make accessible to any Person (other than to each other or such other Party’s authorized representatives) any Confidential Information, or in any way use the other Party’s Confidential Information in the conduct of any business or endeavor; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.5 shall act to prohibit either Party from disclosing any Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed by such Party by applicable law, regulation, stock exchange rule or a legal proceeding before any Governmental Entity so long as such Party gives prior written notice to the other Party of its intention to disclose such Confidential Information so that such other Party may (a) review the contents of such Confidential Information required to be disclosed and (b) in its sole discretion and at its sole cost and expense (including attorney fees), contest the need for disclosure by seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy.

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Press Releases and Announcements. No Party shall issue (and each Party shall cause its Affiliates not to issue) any press release or public disclosure relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, or its terms, without the prior written approval of the other Party; provided, however, that any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by law, regulation or stock exchange rule (in which case the disclosing Party shall advise the other Party and the other Party shall have the right to review such press release or announcement prior to its publication) to the extent practicable given legal and regulatory requirements.

10.2 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided by applicable law, this Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person (including with respect to any employee or former employee of Seller, Buyer or any of its Affiliates, any New Buyer Employees and any Business Employees, any right to employment or contractual employment for any specified period) other than the Parties and its respective successors and permitted assigns and, to the extent specified herein, its respective Affiliates; provided, however, that the provisions of Article VI are intended for the benefit of the entities and individuals specified therein and its respective legal representatives, successors and assigns. No provision of this Agreement be deemed to be the adoption of, or an amendment to, any employee benefit plan, as that term is defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or otherwise to limit the right of Buyer or Seller to amend, modify or terminate any such employee benefit plan. For a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date, Buyer (i) will ensure that each Transferred Subsidiary fulfills its obligations to the present and former members of such entity’s board of directors (or other governing body) and present and former officers of the Transferred Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of such entity’s charter, bylaws or other organizational documents and any indemnification or other agreements as in effect on the date hereof and (ii) shall cause each such entity’s charter, bylaws or other organizational documents to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are no less favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained such entity’s charter, bylaws or other organizational documents as of the date hereof, and during such six-year period, such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable law.

10.3 Entire Agreement; Conflicts. This Agreement (including the documents referred to herein), the Related Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement by and between Buyer and Seller and their respective Affiliates. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements or representations by or between Buyer and Seller, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Agreements). In the event there is any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Related Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control and govern.

10.4 Succession and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and its respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Party, provided, however, that Buyer may collaterally assign this Agreement to any sources of financing solely for the purposes of securing the obligations of Buyer and its Affiliates under any credit arrangements by Buyer and its Affiliates (and any refinancings or substitutions thereof); and provided further, (i) any Party may assign its right to receive a payment entitled to be received by it pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) concurrently with or following the Closing, Buyer may assign, transfer and delegate, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations hereunder to either (A) a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Buyer or (B) an Affiliate under common control with Buyer; and provided further, at Buyer’s request Seller shall concurrently with the Closing directly assign or transfer the ownership interest in any Transferred Subsidiary to an Affiliate under common control with Buyer, in each case to the extent allowed by applicable law and as would not adversely affect the rights or obligations of Seller under this Agreement or Seller’s ability to transfer such Transferred Subsidiary hereunder, and Buyer agrees to be responsible to Seller on behalf of such Affiliates with respect to the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement.

10.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or .PDF signature.

Any Party may give any notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication hereunder using any other means (including personal delivery, expedited courier, messenger service, telex, ordinary mail, or electronic mail), but no such notice, request, demand, claim or other communication shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until it actually is received by the Party for whom it is intended. Any Party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other Parties notice in the manner herein set forth.

10.8 Governing Law. Subject to the provisions of certain Exhibits hereto regarding the application of local law, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

10.9 Amendments and Waivers. The Parties may mutually amend or waive any provision of this Agreement at any time. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the Parties. No waiver by either Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

10.10 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the body making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

10.11 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall reimburse Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer for all actual costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by Buyer in conducting due diligence for an amount not exceeding $400,000. Any amount already paid from the date of the letter agreement, dated July 2, 2012, between an Affiliate of Buyer and Seller until the date hereof shall be reduced from the aforementioned amount and the remaining amount payable pursuant to this Section 10.11 shall be paid by Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by Buyer two (2) Business Days following receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller of Buyer’s actual costs and expenses incurred in conducting due diligence.

10.12 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. It is accordingly agreed that prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, (i) the Parties shall be entitled to seek (in a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 10.13) an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including Buyer’s obligation to effect the Closing), without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither Seller nor Buyer would have entered into this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that Seller shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedy to specifically enforce Buyer’s obligation to effect the Closing on the terms and conditions set forth herein in the event that all conditions in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, each of which is then capable of being satisfied at a Closing on such date) at the time when the Closing would have occurred but for the failure of Buyer to comply with its obligations to effect the Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each of Seller and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that following a valid

termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, each Party shall be entitled to monetary damages for a willful or intentional breach of this Agreement. In no event shall any Party be responsible and liable for any monetary damages or other amounts under this Section 10.12 that are special, incidental, consequential, indirect, exemplary or punitive damages.

10.13 Submission to Jurisdiction. Subject to the provisions of certain Exhibits hereto regarding

the submission of actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to such Exhibits to courts of local jurisdictions, each Party (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or any other federal or state court in the State of Delaware if it is determined that the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction over such action) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined only in any such court, and (c) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each Party waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of the other Party with respect thereto. Either Party may make service on the other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.7. Nothing in this Section 10.13, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

10.14 Construction. Except where expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement, the following rules of interpretation apply to this Agreement: (a) “either” and “or” are not exclusive and “include”, “includes” and “including” are not limiting; (b) “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (c) “date hereof” refers to the date set forth in the initial caption of this Agreement; (d) “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase does not mean simply “if”; (e) definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms; (f) references to a contract or agreement mean such contract or agreement as amended or otherwise modified from time to time; (g) references to a person or entity are also to its permitted successors and assigns; (h) references to an “Article”, “Section”, “Exhibit” or “Schedule” refer to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement; (i) references to “$” or otherwise to dollar amounts refer to the lawful currency of the United States; and (j) references to a law include any rules, regulations and delegated legislation issued thereunder. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party.

10.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Party hereby irrevocably waives all rights to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the actions of either Party in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement.

10.16 Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
