At the Effective Time, subject to the provisions of Section 6.10(a) the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read identically to the certificate of incorporation of Acquisition Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and such amended and restated certificate of incorporation shall become the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation (subject to the provisions of Section 6.10(a)); provided that at the Effective Time the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Silver Spring Networks, Inc.”

2.7 Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) Capital Stock. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company, or the holders of any of the following securities, the following shall occur:

(i) Company Common Stock. Each Share that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (A) Cancelled Company Shares and (B) any Dissenting Company Shares) shall be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon the surrender of the certificate formerly representing such Share (or, in the case of Uncertificated Shares, surrender of such Uncertificated Shares) in the manner provided in Section 2.8 (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit in

the manner provided in Section 2.10). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares subject to outstanding Company RSUs, Company 2015 PSUs or Company 2017 PSUs shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.7(e), Section 2.7(f) and Section 2.7(g), respectively.

(ii) Excluded Company Common Stock.

(iii) Capital Stock of Acquisition Sub. Each share of common stock of Acquisition Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of common stock of Acquisition Sub shall thereafter evidence ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Adjustment to the Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the granting or other issuance of Company Options, Company RSUs or Company PSUs in the ordinary course of business), reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring on or after the Agreement Date and prior to the Effective Time, and to provide to the converting holders herein the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action, provided, that nothing in this Section 2.7(b) shall be construed as permitting the Company to take any action or enter into any transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by Company Stockholders who shall neither have voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly and validly perfected their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, “Dissenting Company Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7(a), but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Company Shares. At the Effective Time, the Dissenting Company Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and each Company Stockholder who holds Dissenting Company Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Company Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL; provided that all Dissenting Company Shares held by Company Stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall no longer be considered to be Dissenting Company Shares and shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such Shares in the manner provided in Section 2.8.

(ii) The Company shall provide Parent (A) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company in respect of Dissenting Company Shares and (B) the opportunity to consult with the Company concerning, and to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to, demands for appraisal under Delaware Law in respect of Dissenting Company Shares. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, or settle or offer to settle any such demands for payment, in respect of Dissenting Company Shares.

(d) Company Options.

(i) Unvested In-the-Money Company Options. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and without any action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or any holder of a Company Option, each Company Option, other than a Non-Employee Director Option, that remains outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that has a per share exercise price that is less than the Merger Consideration, and that is held by a then-current service provider, shall be assumed by Parent at the Effective Time and shall be converted into and become an option to acquire Parent Common Stock (each, an “Adjusted Option”), on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, as follows:

(A) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Adjusted Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of Shares that were subject to the corresponding unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock;

(B) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Adjusted Option shall be determined by dividing the applicable per share exercise price of the corresponding Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and

(C) any restriction on the exercise of any Adjusted Option shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule, accelerated vesting rights, and other provisions of such Company Option shall otherwise remain unchanged as a result of the assumption of such Company Option, in each case except to the extent otherwise provided in any Stock Plan, or any stock option, employment, change of control or other agreement between the holder of a Company Option and the Company; provided that Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed as to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to any Adjusted Option.

The adjustments to the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Adjusted Options determined under the mechanic set forth in this Section 2.7(d)(i) shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424 and Section 409A of the Code.

(ii) Vested In-the-Money Company Options. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and without any action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or any holder of a Company Option, each Company Option that remains outstanding and is vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that has a per share exercise price that is less than the Merger Consideration, shall not be assumed by Parent and shall instead be cancelled at the Effective Time in exchange for a payment by Parent of an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of Shares subject to such vested Company Option multiplied by (y) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the applicable per share exercise price under such vested Company Option. As of the Effective Time, each holder of a vested Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the foregoing consideration.

(iii) Out-of-the-Money Company Options. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and without any action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or any holder of a Company Option, each Company Option that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, and that has a per share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, become vested and exercisable by the holder thereof and, each such Company Option shall, to the extent not exercised as of the Effective Time, be cancelled at the Effective Time with no payment made therefor.

(iv) Unvested In-the-Money Non-Employee Director Options. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and without any action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or any holder of a Company Option, each Company Option that is held by a non-employee member of the Company Board, that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and that has a per share exercise price that is less than the Merger Consideration (each, a “Non-Employee Director Option”), shall not be assumed by Parent and shall instead be cancelled at the Effective Time in exchange for a payment by Parent of an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of Shares subject to such Non-Employee Director Option multiplied by (y) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price under such Non-Employee Director Option. As of the Effective Time, each holder of a Non-Employee Director Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the foregoing consideration.

(e) Company Restricted Stock Units.

(i) Unvested RSUs. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and without any action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or any holder of Company RSUs, each unvested Company RSU, other than a Non-Employee Director RSU, that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including each Company 2017 PSU as to which the performance criteria has been satisfied or deemed satisfied under Section 2.7(g) of this Agreement and that is held by a then-current

service provider) shall be assumed by Parent at the Effective Time, (each, an “Adjusted RSU”) and shall be converted into a restricted stock unit to receive, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the corresponding Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the number of Shares that were subject to the corresponding Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. Any restriction on the settlement of any Adjusted RSU shall continue in full force and effect and the term, settlement terms, vesting schedule (subject to any vesting acceleration terms contained in an applicable Employee Plan set forth on Section 3.17(k) of the Company Disclosure Letter) and other material provisions of the corresponding Company RSU or Company 2017 PSU shall otherwise remain unchanged in all material respects as a result of the assumption and conversion of such Adjusted RSU, except that Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed as to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to any Adjusted RSU.

(ii) Vested RSUs. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and without any action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or any holder of Company RSUs, each Company RSU (or portion thereof) that remains outstanding and is fully vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall not be assumed by Parent and shall be cancelled and automatically be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash for each Share subject to such Company RSU. As of the Effective Time, each holder of a vested Company RSU shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except to receive the Merger Consideration in cash for each share subject to such vested Company RSU.

(iii) Non-Employee Director RSUs. Any Company RSU held by a non-employee member of the Company Board that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Non-Employee Director RSU”), whether vested or unvested, shall not be assumed by Parent and shall instead become fully vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and then cancelled and automatically be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash for each Share subject to such Non-Employee Director RSU. As of the Effective Time, each holder of a Non-Employee Director RSU shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash for each Share subject to such Non-Employee Director RSU.

(f) Company 2015 PSUs. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, all outstanding Company 2015 PSUs shall terminate without the payment of any consideration therefor and the holders of such terminated Company 2015 PSUs shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto.

(g) Company 2017 PSUs. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the performance conditions of the Company 2017 PSUs that are outstanding as of immediately prior the Effective Time shall be deemed satisfied at 100% of the target level of achievement (notwithstanding any contrary provision in any agreement or document governing or evidencing the relevant Company 2017 PSU and regardless of whether the Effective Time occurs in 2017 or 2018). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and without any

action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or any holder of Company 2017 PSUs, (i) the portion of each Company 2017 PSU that remains outstanding and unvested as to service-based vesting conditions as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as an Adjusted RSU in accordance with Section 2.7(e) and (ii) the portion of each Company 2017 PSU (if any) that is outstanding and vested as to both performance conditions and service-based conditions as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and automatically be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash for each Share subject to such fully-vested Company 2017 PSU, and as of the Effective Time, the holder thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except to receive the Merger Consideration in cash for each Share subject to such fully-vested Company 2017 PSU.

(h) Company ESPP. From and after the Agreement Date, the Company will not establish any new offering period under the Company ESPP. Participation in the Company ESPP shall be limited to those employees who were participants on the Agreement Date and each individual participating in any current purchase period will not be permitted to (i) increase his or her payroll contribution rate pursuant to the Company ESPP from the rate in effect immediately prior to the Agreement Date; or (ii) make separate non-payroll contributions to the Company ESPP that has the effect of increasing his or her contribution rate in effect immediately prior to the Agreement Date, except, in each case, as may be required by applicable Law. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will take all action that may be necessary to, effective upon the consummation of the Merger, (A) cause any Purchase Period (as defined in the Company ESPP) that would otherwise be outstanding at the Effective Time to be terminated no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date; (B) make any adjustments that may be necessary or advisable to reflect the shortened Purchase Period, but otherwise treat such shortened Purchase Period as a fully effective and completed Purchase Period for all purposes pursuant to the Company ESPP; (C) cause the exercise (as of no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date) of each outstanding purchase right pursuant to the Company ESPP; and (D) provide that no further Purchase Period or purchase offer period will commence pursuant to the Company ESPP after the Effective Time. Notwithstanding any restrictions on transfer of stock in the Company ESPP, all Shares purchased under the Company ESPP shall be treated identically to all other Shares in the Merger and the payment described in Section 2.7(a). On such exercise date, the Company will apply the funds credited as of such date pursuant to the Company ESPP within each participant’s payroll withholding account to the purchase of whole Shares in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP. Immediately prior to and effective as of the Effective Time (but subject to the consummation of the Merger), the Company will terminate the Company ESPP.

(i) Further Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, (i) the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to (x) effect the transactions contemplated by Sections 2.7(d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) under all Company Option, Company RSU, and Company PSU agreements, the Stock Plans, the Company ESPP, and any other plan or arrangement of the Company, including delivering all required notices and obtaining any required Consent, (y) terminate, without consideration therefor, all outstanding compensatory equity awards that are not Adjusted RSUs or Adjusted Options as of the Effective Time (including awards held by then-former service providers), and (z) ensure that, after the Effective Time, no Person shall have any right with respect to outstanding equity-based awards of the Company or otherwise to acquire any equity interest (including any “phantom” stock or stock appreciation rights) in the Company, any of its

Subsidiaries, or the Surviving Corporation except, as to this clause (z), as provided in Sections 2.7(d), (e) and (g), and (ii) if requested by Parent, the Company Board shall adopt any resolutions as may be necessary to terminate any or all of the Stock Plans, effective as of the Effective Time.

2.8 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent”).

(b) Exchange Fund. At or promptly following the Closing, but on the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, for payment to the holders of Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which holders of Company Common Stock (other than Cancelled Shares, Dissenting Shares and Shares subject to Company Options, Company RSUs and Company PSUs) become entitled under this Article II. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such funds shall be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation (such cash amount being referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund”). Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent. To the extent that there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Payment Agent to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by this Article II, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Payment Agent to make such payments contemplated by this Article II.

(c) Payment Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of (i) a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares and (ii) uncertificated Shares (the “Uncertificated Shares”), in each case, whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7 (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent), and/or (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Shares represented by such Certificate that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7, by (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Payment Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the holders of such Uncertificated Shares shall

be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Shares represented by such holder’s transferred Uncertificated Shares that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7, by (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof), and the transferred Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The Payment Agent shall accept such Certificates and transferred Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 2.8. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(d) Transfers of Ownership. In the event that a transfer of ownership of Shares is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if the Merger Consideration is to be paid in a name other than that in which the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares surrendered in exchange therefor are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Uncertificated Share so surrendered is registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such payment has paid to Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) any transfer Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares, or established to the satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable.

(e) Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Shares, Company Options, Company RSUs, Company PSUs and purchase rights under the Company ESPP such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Tax Laws. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is nine months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger who have not theretofore surrendered their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such

Shares for exchange pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.8 shall thereafter look for payment of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent, as general unsecured creditors thereof, for any claim to the applicable Merger Consideration to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

2.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, all Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares theretofore representing any Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable therefor upon the surrender thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7; provided that Parent or the Payment Agent may, in its discretion and as condition to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such customary and reasonable amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.11 Necessary Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Acquisition Sub, the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation and Acquisition Sub shall take all such lawful and necessary action.

(a) Parent has delivered to the Company a true, accurate and complete copy of the executed commitment letter, dated as of the Agreement Date, by and among Parent and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), including all exhibits, schedules, annexes and amendments thereto (the “Financing Commitments”) and the related fee letters (the “Fee Letters”) with respect to fees and related arrangements with respect to the Financing Commitments (provided that the provisions in the Financing Commitments and Fee Letters relating to fee amounts, pricing caps, market flex provisions and related provisions may be redacted so long as no redaction covers terms that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the amount or availability or conditionality of the Financing), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions of which, the Lenders have committed to lend the amounts set forth therein to Parent for the purpose of funding the Merger (such committed financing, together with (if applicable), unless the context otherwise requires, any debt securities issued in lieu thereof, the “Financing”).

(b) As of the Agreement Date, (i) the Financing Commitments are in full force and effect (subject to the Enforceability Limitations), and have not been withdrawn, rescinded or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified in any respect, and (ii) each of the Financing Commitments, in the form so delivered, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, enforceable against it or them, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be affected by the Enforceability Limitations. As of the Agreement Date there are, and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.16, as of the Closing there will be, no other agreements, side letters, or arrangements relating to the Financing Commitments that could affect the amount, availability or conditionality of the Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitments and the Fee Letters.

(c) As of the Agreement Date, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a material default or breach on the part of Parent under any term or condition of the Financing Commitments or, to the Knowledge of Parent, would (i) result in any of the conditions in the Financing Commitments not being satisfied by the Closing Date or (ii) otherwise result in the Financing not being available on the Closing Date. As of the Agreement Date, assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII, and based on facts and events that Parent has Knowledge of, Parent has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis all material terms and conditions of the Financing Commitments to be satisfied by it or the Lenders, or that the Financing will not be available on the Closing Date. As of the Agreement Date, no Lender party to any Financing Commitment has notified Parent of its intention to terminate any of the Financing Commitments or not to provide the Financing.

(d) Parent has fully paid (or caused to be paid) any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Financing Commitments to be paid on or before the Agreement Date. The aggregate net proceeds from the Financing constitute all of the financing required for the consummation of the Merger and, together with cash and cash equivalents of Parent, are sufficient in amount for Parent to (i) pay all amounts payable by it or Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Merger under this Agreement, (ii) pay all associated fees, costs and expenses in connection

with the Merger, including the Financing, (iii) repay (or refinance pursuant to a credit facility that will permit the Merger and Financing) all outstanding borrowings and other payment obligations under the Existing Parent Credit Agreement if the consent or waiver described in Section 6.16(b) is not obtained, and (iv) repay, retire and redeem in full all Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries set forth in Section 3.12(a)(viii) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Required Amount”). The Financing Commitments and Fee Letters contain all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the parties thereunder to make the Financing available to Parent on the terms set forth therein. Parent acknowledges that its obligation to consummate the Merger is not contingent on Parent’s ability to obtain any financing whether pursuant to the Financing Commitments or otherwise.

4.11 Non-Reliance; Exclusivity of Representations.

(a) In connection with the due diligence investigation of the Company by Parent and Acquisition Sub and their respective Affiliates, stockholders, Representatives, or advisors, Parent and Acquisition Sub and their respective Affiliates, stockholders, Representatives, and advisors have received and may continue to receive after the Agreement Date (including pursuant to Section 6.8) from the Company and its Affiliates, stockholders, Representatives, and advisors certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business plan information, regarding the Company and its business and operations. Parent and Acquisition Sub hereby acknowledge that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in such business plans, that Parent and Acquisition Sub are making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as such business plans, so furnished to them (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking information or business plans). Accordingly, Parent and Acquisition Sub hereby acknowledge and agree that none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, Representatives, or advisors, nor any other Person, has made or is making any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking statements or business plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking statements or business plans).

(b) Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Article IV, (i) neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub (or any other Person) makes, or has made, any representation or warranty relating to Parent or Acquisition Sub or any of their Affiliates or any of their respective businesses or operations or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) no Person has been authorized by Parent or Acquisition Sub to make any representation or warranty relating to Parent or Acquisition Sub or any of their Affiliates or any of their respective businesses or operations or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including as to the accuracy or completeness thereof, and if made, such representation or warranty must not be relied upon by the Company or any of its Affiliates or any Representatives of any of the foregoing as having been authorized by Parent or Acquisition Sub or any of their Affiliates (or any other Person on their behalf).

6.3 Proxy Statement.

(a) As soon as practicable (and in any event within 30 Business Days) following the Agreement Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC in preliminary form the Proxy Statement for use in connection with the solicitation of proxies from the Company Stockholders for use at the Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company shall also include the Fairness Opinion (in its entirety) in the Proxy Statement together with a summary thereof. The Company shall provide a true and complete signed copy of the Fairness Opinion to Parent for information purposes as soon as reasonably practicable after the Agreement Date. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC and the NYSE. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall furnish in writing to the Company all information concerning Parent and Acquisition Sub as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the preparation and filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement. If at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting, any information relating to the Company, Parent or Acquisition Sub, or any of their respective directors, officers or other Affiliates, should be discovered by the Company, Parent or Acquisition Sub which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other, and the Company shall prepare an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement describing such information and file such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law or the SEC or its staff, disseminate such amendment or supplement to the Company Stockholders.

(b) Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five Business Days) following the earlier to occur of (i) the 10^th Business Day after the filing thereof with the SEC if the SEC or its staff has not indicated that it will review the Proxy Statement and (ii) confirmation from the SEC that it will not comment on, or that it has no additional comments on, the Proxy Statement.

(c) Except for disclosures made that relate to a Company Board Recommendation Change made by the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof in accordance with the terms of Section 6.5, (i) the Company shall not file with the SEC the Proxy Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, and (ii) the Company shall not correspond or otherwise communicate with the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement, in any such case referenced in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) without providing Parent and Acquisition Sub a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon or participate therein, as the case may be, and the Company shall include in the Proxy Statement or any such amendment or supplement thereto all such reasonable comments proposed by Parent in good faith.

(d) The Company shall advise Parent and Acquisition Sub, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for an amendment or revisions to the Proxy Statement, any receipt of comments from the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement, or any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for additional information in connection therewith, and shall as promptly as practicable provide Parent with copies of all written correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff thereof, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement and as promptly as practicable provide Parent with a reasonably detailed description of any oral comments received in connection therewith. The Company also shall provide Parent with copies of any written comments or responses to be submitted by the Company in response to any comments or inquiries from the SEC or the staff thereof and shall provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any written response to any such written comments of the SEC or its staff relating to the Proxy Statement and include in such response all reasonable comments proposed by Parent in good faith. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve all SEC comments with respect to the Proxy Statement as promptly as practicable.

(e) Unless the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof shall have effected a Company Board Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 6.5, the Company shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement.

6.4 Company Stockholder Meeting.

(a) The Company, acting through the Company Board, shall establish a record date for, call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of the Company Stockholders (or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Company Stockholder Meeting”), for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval and approve the Merger in accordance with the DGCL. Once the Company has established the record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Company shall not change such record date without the prior written consent of Parent, unless required by applicable Law. The Company shall consult with Parent regarding the date of the Company Stockholder Meeting, shall cooperate with Parent to initially schedule the Company Stockholder Meeting to be held no earlier than 30 days and no later than 50 days after the mailing of the definitive Proxy Statement to the stockholders of the Company, and shall not postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Company from postponing or adjourning the Company Stockholder Meeting:

(i) For sequential periods of up to five Business Days each, if there are holders of insufficient Shares present or represented by a proxy at the Company Stockholder Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Stockholder Meeting;

(ii) For so long as the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting by applicable Law, or an Order from the SEC or its staff;

(iii) For up to five Business Days, if the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that it is necessary or appropriate to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting in order to give Company Stockholders sufficient time to evaluate any information or disclosure that the Company has sent to Company Stockholders or otherwise made available to Company Stockholders by issuing a press release, filing materials with the SEC or otherwise (including in connection with any Company Board Recommendation Change); or

(iv) For one time only, for up to 10 Business Days from the date on which the Company Stockholder Meeting was initially scheduled if, on a date for which the Company Stockholder Meeting is scheduled, the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of Shares to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval.

(b) Without the prior written consent of Parent, a proposal for the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger), and any matters related thereto, shall be the only matters which the Company shall propose to be acted on at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

(c) Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, the Company shall solicit from the Company Stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger in accordance with Delaware Law, submit this Agreement for adoption by the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting and, unless the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof shall have effected a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 6.5(b), use its reasonable best efforts to secure the Requisite Stockholder Approval for the adoption of this Agreement at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

6.5 Company Board Recommendation.

(a) Subject to Section 6.5(c), the Company Board shall make the Company Board Recommendation.

(b) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (x) withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation, (y) approve, endorse or recommend an Acquisition Proposal or (z) fail to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer for Shares within 10 Business Days after the commencement of such offer (each of clauses (x), (y) and (z), a “Company Board Recommendation Change”); provided that a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, or any substantially similar communication, shall not be deemed to be a Company Board Recommendation Change.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company Board and/or any authorized committee thereof may make a Company Board Recommendation Change if and only if:

(i) (A) the Company has received an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not arise or result from a breach of Section 5.2, that constitutes a Superior Proposal and such Acquisition Proposal has not been withdrawn and continues to be a Superior Proposal;

(B) the Company Board and/or any authorized committee thereof shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to enter into a definitive agreement relating to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Delaware Law;

(C) the Company shall have notified Parent in writing of the Superior Proposal and that it intends to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change, including providing Parent with the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal and a copy of the then-current forms of all of the relevant proposed transaction documents related thereto, including definitive agreements (including financing agreements, if any) with respect to such Superior Proposal (a “Superior Proposal Notice”); provided that with respect to any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Proposal, Parent shall be entitled to a new written notice by the Company (a “Superior Proposal Amendment Notice”);

(D) if requested by Parent, the Company shall have made its Representatives available to discuss with Parent’s Representatives any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the period beginning as soon as practicable on the day of delivery by the Company to Parent of such Superior Proposal Notice or such Superior Proposal Amendment Notice, as applicable, and ending at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on, in the case of a Superior Proposal Notice, the fourth Business Day following the day of such delivery or, in the case of a Superior Proposal Amendment Notice, the second Business Day following the day of such delivery (provided that such two Business day period shall be extended if applicable through the end of the original four (4) Business Day period);

(E) the Company has during such four Business Day period or such two Business Day period, as applicable, negotiated, and caused its financial and legal advisors to negotiate, with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) with respect to proposed adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal; and

(F) if Parent shall have delivered to the Company during such four Business Day period or such two Business Day period, as applicable, a written offer to modify the terms of this Agreement that if accepted by the Company in accordance with the terms thereof would be binding upon Parent, the Company Board and/or any authorized committee thereof shall have determined in good faith, after considering the terms of such offer by Parent, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to such Superior Proposal Notice or such Superior Proposal Amendment Notice, as applicable, still constitutes a Superior Proposal and that, in light of such Superior Proposal and the results of any negotiations with Parent and any offer from Parent, that the failure of the Company Board to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Delaware Law; or

(ii) (A) an Intervening Event has occurred;

(B) the Company Board and/or any authorized committee thereof shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make a Company Board Recommendation Change in light of such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the Company Board members’ fiduciary duties under Delaware Law;

(C) the Company shall have notified Parent in writing of such Intervening Event, including a reasonable description of such Intervening Event, and that it intends to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change (an “Intervening Event Notice”);

(D) if requested by Parent, the Company shall have made its Representatives available to discuss with Parent’s Representatives the Intervening Event and any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the period beginning as soon as practicable on the day of delivery by the Company to Parent of such Intervening Event Notice and ending at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the fourth Business Day following the day of such delivery;

(E) the Company has during such four Business Day period negotiated, and caused its financial and legal advisors to negotiate, with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) with respect to proposed adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the failure to make such Company Board Recommendation Change is no longer a breach of the Company Board’s fiduciary duties; and

(F) if Parent shall have delivered to the Company during such four Business Day period a written offer to modify the terms of this Agreement that if accepted by the Company in accordance with the terms thereof would be binding upon Parent, the Company Board and/or any authorized committee thereof shall have determined in good faith, after considering the terms of such offer by Parent, that the failure to make a Company Board Recommendation Change in light of such Intervening Event would still be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware Law.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board and/or any authorized committee thereof from taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act (including making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act pending disclosure of its position thereunder); provided that, (x) Section 6.5(d) shall not in and of itself permit the Company Board and/or any authorized committee thereof to make a Company Board Recommendation Change that would not otherwise be permitted pursuant to this Section 6.5, and (y) in any such case, any such statement(s) or disclosures made by the Company Board and/or any authorized committee thereof will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the provisions of Section 6.5 and Article VIII.

6.6 Public Statements and Disclosure. The initial press release with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a joint press release reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company prior to the Agreement Date. None of the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Acquisition Sub, on the other hand, shall issue any public release or make any public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange or regulatory or Governmental Authority to which the relevant party is subject or submits, wherever situated, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the other party or parties hereto reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance and shall give due consideration to such comments (it being understood that the final form and content of any such release or announcement, as well as the timing of any such release or announcement, shall be at the final reasonable discretion of the disclosing party); provided that the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.6 shall not apply to any release or announcement made or proposed to be made by the Company or Parent in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, a Company Board Recommendation Change or Superior Proposal.

6.7 Anti-Takeover Laws. In the event that any anti-takeover or other similar Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to ensure that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such Law on this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.8 Access. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, the Company shall afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books and records and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries (and the Company’s outside accountant); provided that the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information (i) to the extent that any applicable Law requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information, (ii) to the extent that access to such documents or information would give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege applicable to such documents or information, or (iii) pursuant to mutually agreed “clean team” procedures established by the parties, to the extent that access to such documents or information could potentially be used by Parent in a manner that would materially alter the competitive dynamic between Company and Parent if the Merger were not consummated; provided, further, that no information or knowledge obtained by Parent in any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.8 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or otherwise impair the rights and remedies available to Parent and Acquisition Sub hereunder. In the event that the Company does not provide access or information in reliance on the preceding sentence, it shall use its reasonable best efforts to communicate the applicable information to Parent in a way that would not violate

the applicable Law, Contract or obligation or to waive such a privilege, including, to the extent practicable, by providing such information in redacted form as necessary to preserve such a privilege or comply with such Law or otherwise make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements, to the extent possible. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.8 shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any access to the properties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable Lease and the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and shall not include the right to perform invasive Phase 1 or Phase 2 environmental assessments or other invasive testing. The terms and conditions of the confidentiality letter agreement dated May 8, 2017 between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), shall apply to any information obtained by Parent or any of its Representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.8. Nothing in this Section 6.8 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Representatives of any of the foregoing to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals, opinions or other information.

6.9 Section 16(b) Exemption. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.10 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under any and all (i) indemnification agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries identified in Section 3.12(a)(xiv) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and (x) any of their respective current or former directors and officers as of the Agreement Date pursuant to the terms of such agreements as in effect as of the Agreement Date, and (y) any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time and executes an indemnification agreement on terms no less favorable to the Company and no more favorable to such person than the current form of indemnification agreement with its directors that has been made available to Parent (the “Indemnified Persons”) and (ii) indemnification, expense advancement and exculpation provisions in any certificate of incorporation or bylaws or comparable organizational document of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in effect on the Agreement Date. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the certificates of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the

certificates of incorporation and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Agreement Date, and during such six-year period, such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner adverse to the Indemnified Persons except as required by applicable Law. Any claims for indemnification made under this Section 6.10 on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time shall survive such anniversary until the final resolution thereof, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its applicable Subsidiaries to maintain sufficient funds for the payment of their respective obligations to the Indemnified Persons under this Section 6.10(a).

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall bind and purchase directors and officers runoff insurance coverage in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (“D&O Runoff Insurance”), which by its terms shall survive the Merger for not less than six years and covering each Person covered by the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the Agreement Date (which has been made available to Parent) (the “Current D&O Insurance”). The D&O Runoff Insurance shall be on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are substantially equivalent to those of the Current D&O Insurance or, if substantially equivalent insurance is unavailable, the best available coverage. The Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain the D&O Runoff Insurance in full force and effect and continue to honor its obligations thereunder for so long as such D&O Runoff Insurance shall be maintained in full force and effect. Neither the Company nor the Surviving Corporation shall be permitted or required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Runoff Insurance in excess of 300% (the “Maximum Amount”) of the last annual premium paid prior to the Agreement Date for the Current D&O Insurance (it being understood and agreed that in the event the cost of such D&O Runoff Insurance exceeds the Maximum Amount, in the aggregate, the Company shall remain obligated to provide, and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to maintain, the broadest D&O Runoff Insurance coverage as may be obtained for the Maximum Amount). The Company and Indemnified Parties may be required to make reasonable application and provide reasonable and customary representations and warranties to applicable insurance carriers for the purpose of obtaining such D&O Runoff Insurance.

(c) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 6.10.

(d) The obligations set forth in this Section 6.10 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other Person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Runoff Insurance (and their heirs and Representatives)) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other Person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Runoff Insurance (and their heirs and Representatives). The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other Persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Runoff Insurance (and their heirs and Representatives)) under this Section 6.10 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such Persons may have under the certificates of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).

(e) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.10 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

(f) Each of the Indemnified Persons or other Persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Runoff Insurance (and their heirs and Representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto.

(g) This Section 6.10 shall survive the consummation of the Merger.

6.11 Employee Matters.

(a) Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof to, for a period ending on the date that is 12 months following the Effective Time (or, if earlier, the date of termination of the applicable Continuing Employee), provide the Continuing Employees with (i) at least the same level of base salary or base hourly wage levels, if applicable, that were provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) target cash incentive compensation opportunities (excluding any one-time stay, retention, transaction or other discretionary bonuses) that are at least equal with respect to individual target bonus levels to that provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, (iii) subject to the requirements of applicable Law in jurisdictions outside of the United States, employee health, welfare and tax-qualified defined contribution retirement benefits (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, equity-based awards, defined benefit, and non-qualified arrangements) that are in the aggregate substantially comparable to either (A) the employee health, welfare and tax-qualified defined contribution retirement benefits (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, equity-based awards, defined benefit, and non-qualified arrangements) offered to similarly situated employees of Parent or Parent’s Affiliates (each, a “Parent Plan”), or (B) the employee health, welfare and tax-qualified defined contribution retirement benefits (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, equity-based awards, defined benefit, and non-qualified arrangements) offered to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, as disclosed in Section 6.11(a)(iii)(B) of the Company Disclosure Letter, with the determination of the employee benefits and their comparability under this clause (iii) to be reasonably made by Parent from time to time, and (iv) upon an involuntary termination without cause of a Continuing Employee, severance benefits that are required by applicable Law, or, if none, that are no less favorable than those that would have been provided to each such Continuing Employee under the applicable Employee Plans that are severance benefit plans, programs, policies or arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, as disclosed in Section 6.11(a)(iv) of the Company Disclosure Letter (such payments and benefits, the “Transaction Severance Benefits”), in all cases (i) through (iv), as measured on an individual basis. In the event the Company has not then made a determination of bonus amounts to be paid and paid such amounts due under its 2017 annual bonus or incentive plan as of

immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause each employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who is a participant in the Company’s 2017 annual bonus or incentive plan to be paid a bonus in respect of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 in accordance with the terms of such plan as in effect on the Agreement Date, as if the applicable performance targets were fully achieved at target levels, except that Parent reserves the right to cause such bonuses to be paid solely in cash.

(b) With respect to the employee health and welfare benefit plans and defined contribution retirement plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries in which Continuing Employees participate following the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to, cause to be granted to each Continuing Employee credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and any predecessor employer (to the extent the Company and its Subsidiaries recognized or provided such past service credit) prior to the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and, with respect to vacation, sick time or paid time off, accrual and severance pay entitlement); provided that such service will not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits, or with respect to employees outside of the United States if applicable foreign Law would forbid the provision of such service credit. For purposes of each Parent Plan in which any Continuing Employee is eligible to participate after Closing, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to, cause its third party administrators or third party insurance providers to (x) cause all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such Parent Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent it would have been waived under the comparable Company Employee Plan, and (y) cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents under a comparable Company Employee Plan during the plan year of the Company Employee Plan in which the Closing Date occurs to be given full credit for amounts paid by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents pursuant to such Parent Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable Parent Plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Parent Plan. Any vacation or paid time off that is accrued but unused by a Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be credited to such Continuing Employee following the Effective Time, and shall be subject to the terms of the vacation or paid time off policy of Parent or one of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their Subsidiaries to terminate, any Continuing Employee for any reason; (ii) prevent the amendment, modification, or termination of any agreement with a Continuing Employee after the Effective Time; or (iii) constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, Contract, policy or arrangement or otherwise be treated as an adoption of, or amendment or modification of, any Employee Plan, Parent Plan or other benefit plan arrangement. No provision of this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any employee, officer, director, consultant, or other service provider of the Company or

any of its Subsidiaries, any beneficiary or dependents thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and benefits that may be provided to any officer, director, consultant, or other service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of the Affiliates or under any benefit plan which any of them may maintain, or otherwise, except that the Company may enforce these provisions on behalf of any impacted Continuing Employee.

(d) If directed in writing by Parent at least 10 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company and any ERISA Affiliate of the Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate to terminate each Employee Plan that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (a “401(k) Plan”), with such termination effective as of the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such 401(k) Plan(s) have been timely terminated pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board and, as applicable, any ERISA Affiliate of the Company. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the prior review and approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such 401(k) Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably request.

(e) In order to ensure or effect compliance of the Company’s Welfare Benefit Plans with the requirements of ERISA, the Company will take the actions set forth in Section 6.11(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter within the timeframes set forth therein.

(f) Parent shall (i) file with the SEC, no later than one Business Day after the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-8 and, if unavailable as to any Adjusted Options or Adjusted RSUs, another form of registration statement available therefor (or shall otherwise maintain the effectiveness of an existing registration statement on Form S-8 previously filed by Parent and, if applicable, such other appropriate form of registration statement) with respect to those shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the Adjusted Options and Adjusted RSUs, and (ii) shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such Adjusted Options and Adjusted RSUs remain outstanding; and (iii) deliver to each holder of an Adjusted Option and Adjusted RSU an appropriate notice setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant to such Adjusted Option or Adjusted RSU.

(g) Following the date hereof, each of Parent and the Company (and their respective Affiliates) will use their reasonable best efforts, and will use their reasonable best efforts to cause each of their respective Representatives, including legal, human resources and regulatory compliance personnel, to (i) cooperate and provide each other with all necessary and reasonable assistance and information to ensure that any works councils or committees, trade unions and/or employee representatives applicable to the Continuing Employees are provided with the information required in order for proper consultation, notification and other required processes under applicable Law to take place, (ii) exchange information and data relating to compensation and benefits, including reports prepared in connection with bonus plan participation and related data of Continuing Employees, relating to compensation, employee benefits and employee benefit plan coverages, including information and data that are necessary to support or perform any of the covenants in this Agreement or any compensation consultant

any failure of Parent or Acquisition Sub to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in any such case if and only to the extent that such untruth or inaccuracy, or such failure, would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby set forth in Section 7.3(a) and Section 7.3(b) to not be satisfied at the Closing; provided that no such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of Parent or Acquisition Sub set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the remedies available to the parties hereunder; provided, further, that the Company shall maintain the confidentiality of information provided to the Company pursuant to this Section 6.13(b) in the same manner as Parent would be required to maintain the confidentiality of such information under the Confidentiality Agreement if such information had been disclosed to it by the Company.

(c) In the event that, notwithstanding the use of reasonable best efforts by Parent to satisfy its obligations under Section 6.16(a), any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms (including any market flex provisions) and subject to the conditions contemplated in the Financing Commitments (unless such portion is not reasonably required to consummate the Transactions), Parent shall promptly notify the Company thereof and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative financing for the Required Amount as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event; provided that such alternative financing shall not have any of the effects described in clause (d)(i) below. Parent shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of all agreements pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide Parent with any portion of such alternative financing substantially concurrently with the execution thereof.

(d) Parent shall have the right from time to time to amend, replace, supplement or otherwise modify, or waive any of its rights under, the Financing Commitments or definitive agreement relating to the Financing (including any amendments or modifications to the Financing pursuant to any market flex provisions, or to add lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents, managers or similar entities that have not executed the Financing Commitments as of the Agreement Date); provided that without the prior written consent of the Company, no such amendment, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver shall (A) reduce (or have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing (including by increasing the amount of

(f) Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably timely basis and in reasonable detail of the status of Parent’s efforts to arrange and obtain the Financing. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall notify the Company promptly if at any time prior to the Closing Date: (i) the Financing Commitments expire or are terminated for any reason, (ii) Parent obtains Knowledge of any material breach or default by any party to any Financing Commitment, (iii) Parent receives any written communication from any Person providing a Financing Commitment with respect to any actual, potential or threatened breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Financing Commitments with respect to a material provision of the Financing Commitments, or (iv) any other event or development occurs that Parent expects to have a material and adverse impact on the ability of Parent to obtain all or any material portion of the Financings contemplated by the Financing Commitments sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Commitments or the definitive documents related to the Financing, or Parent, for any reason, otherwise no longer believes in good faith that it will be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms described in the Financing Commitments. As soon as reasonably practicable, Parent shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (i) through (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.16(f) to the contrary, Parent is not required to disclose or provide any information the disclosure of which in Parent’s reasonable good faith judgment is prohibited by applicable Law or Order, is subject to attorney-client privilege, or would reasonably be expected to result in the disclosure of any Trade Secrets of third parties or violate any obligation of Parent with respect to confidentiality not entered into to avoid the disclosure obligations of this Section 6.16(f).

All non-public or other confidential information provided by the Company or its Representatives pursuant to this Agreement will be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Parent will be permitted to disclose such information to any Financing Sources or prospective Financing Sources and other financial institutions and investors that may become parties to the Financing (and, in each case, to their respective counsel and auditors) so long as such Persons (i) agree to be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement as if parties thereto; or (ii) are subject to other customary confidentiality undertakings.

(g) by the Company if (i) the Company is not in material breach of this Agreement, (ii) all the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing but provided such conditions are then capable of being fulfilled), (iii) the Company has thereafter confirmed in writing to Parent and Acquisition Sub that it is ready and able to consummate the Merger, and (iv) Parent and Acquisition Sub shall have failed (due to the failure of the Financing to have timely occurred in accordance with its terms and the terms of this Agreement) to consummate the Merger within 20 Business Days following the date the Closing should have occurred in accordance with Section 2.3; provided that during such period of 20 Business Days following the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.3 and for 24 hours thereafter, no party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i).

Except as set forth in this Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party or parties, as applicable, incurring such expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(b) Company Payments.

(i) The Company shall pay to Parent $32,300,000 (the “Termination Fee”), within two Business Days after the satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i), Section 8.1(b)(iii), or Section 8.1(d) (for Section 8.1(d), only if terminated as a result of a breach by the Company of its covenants or obligations, and not its representations or warranties, such that the condition set forth in Section 7.2(b) would not be satisfied); (B) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to any such termination of this Agreement, a Competing Acquisition Transaction shall have been publicly announced or shall have become publicly disclosed and was not publicly withdrawn at least 10 Business Days prior to such termination; and (C) concurrently with or within 12 months following any such termination of this Agreement, the Company or any of its Affiliates either (x) consummates a Competing Acquisition Transaction or (y) enters into a definitive agreement for a Competing Acquisition Transaction, in each case, whether or not the Competing Acquisition Transaction was the same Competing Acquisition Transaction referred to in clause (B) of this Section 8.3(b). For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.3(b)(i) only, a “Competing Acquisition Transaction” shall have the same meaning as an “Acquisition Transaction” except that all references therein to “15%” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

(ii) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(e), the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee concurrently with and as a condition to the effectiveness of such termination.

(iii) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(f), the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee within two Business Days after such termination.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but subject to Parent’s rights set forth in Section 9.7, in any circumstance in which Parent receives payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.3(b), the receipt of the Termination Fee in such circumstance shall, except in the case of fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement by the Company, constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent, Acquisition Sub, Parent’s Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates or assignees (“Parent Related Parties”) against the Company and its Subsidiaries or any of its or their former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates or assignees (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) for any and all losses and damages suffered or incurred as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder prior to the date of such termination, and, upon Parent’s receipt of the Termination Fee in such circumstance, none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any other document, theory of law or equity or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, in contract, in tort or otherwise (except that (x) the Company shall be obligated pursuant those provisions that expressly survive such termination in accordance with Section 8.2, (y) the obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement shall

continue to survive, and (z) the Company shall also be obligated with respect to Section 8.3(e)). Except as expressly provided in this clause (iv), following the receipt of the Termination Fee in such circumstance, and, except in the case of fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement by the Company, (A) none of Parent, Acquisition Sub or any Parent Related Party shall be entitled to bring, maintain or support any Legal Proceedings against the Company or any Company Related Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby (or the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matters forming the basis for such termination, and (B) Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause any Legal Proceedings pending in connection with this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, to the extent maintained by Parent, Acquisition Sub or any Parent Related Party against the Company or any Company Related Party to be dismissed with prejudice promptly.

(v) The Company shall make any required payment of the Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent.

(c) Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement, it is explicitly agreed that the Company shall be entitled to obtain an injunction, or other appropriate form of equitable relief, to cause Parent and Acquisition Sub to consummate the Merger at any time if, and only if, and the Company shall not otherwise be entitled to obtain any injunction or other form of equitable relief to cause Parent and Acquisition Sub to effectuate the Merger, unless, each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (A) all conditions in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 (other than those conditions that by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) have been satisfied, and remain satisfied, at the time when the Closing would have occurred, (B) Parent and Acquisition Sub fail to complete the Closing by the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.3 (taking into account any extension of the Termination Date in accordance with Section 8.1(b)(i)), and (C) the Company has irrevocably confirmed that if specific performance is granted, then the Closing will occur. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.3(c) shall prohibit the Company from seeking an injunction, specific performance and/or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 9.7 prior to the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 being satisfied or waived.

(d) Single Payment Only. The parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events.

(e) Liquidated Damages. Each of the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub acknowledges and agrees that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent, in the circumstances in which such fee is payable, and which do not involve fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be

100

impossible to calculate with precision and (iii) without these agreements, the Parent would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3 and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the payment of any amount set forth in this Section 8.3, the Company shall pay Parent its costs and expenses in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the annual rate of two percent plus the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received, or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by applicable Law.

(f) No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, (i) agrees that none of the Financing Sources or their respective current, former, or future Affiliates and Representatives shall have any liability or obligation (whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) to the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, or validity hereof or any transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Financing and the Financing Commitments) (ii) waives any rights or claims against any of the Financing Sources and their respective current, former, or future Affiliates and Representatives in any way relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, or validity hereof or any transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Financing and the Financing Commitments), whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise and (iii) agrees not to, and shall not, seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement, or seek to recovery monetary damages (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any special, consequential, punitive, indirect, speculative, or exemplary damages or damages of a tortious nature) from, any Financing Source or any of their respective current, former. or future Affiliates and Representatives (in each case without limitation to any rights the Company may have against Parent and/or Acquisition Sub).

102

9.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Company Disclosure Letter, the Annexes hereto, and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided that the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded, shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement expires in accordance with its terms or is validly terminated by the parties thereto.

9.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, except (a) from and after the Effective Time, as set forth in or contemplated by the terms and provisions of Section 6.10, (b) from and after the Effective Time, the rights of holders of Shares and other securities of the Company to receive the consideration pursuant to the Merger, subject to and as set forth in Article II, (c) for the right of the Company to pursue damages and other relief (including equitable relief) in the event of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s Willful Breach of this Agreement (associated with a failure of the Financing to timely occur) (whether or not this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Article VII), (d) the Financing Sources are express third-party beneficiaries of, and are entitled to rely on and enforce directly, Section 8.3(f), Section 9.3, Section 9.8, Section 9.9, Section 9.10, Section 9.11, this Section 9.5, and the definition of “Financing Sources,” and (e) this Article IX in respect of the Sections set forth under the foregoing clauses (a) through (d). The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto, without notice or liability to any other Person. The representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the Knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Accordingly, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

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

103

9.7 Remedies.

(a) Subject to Section 8.3(b) and Section 8.3(c), and except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and/or Acquisition Sub, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Acquisition Sub, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, by the other (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other under this Agreement. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Acquisition Sub, on the other hand hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by such party (or parties), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such party (or parties) under this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without limiting anything set forth in Section 8.3(f), each party hereto agrees that any Legal Proceeding, cause of action, claim, cross-claim, or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement, the Financing, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Financing Commitments or the performance thereof, are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws specified therefor in the Financing Commitments.

9.9 Jurisdiction and Venue. Except as set out below, each of the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) consents to submit to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (“Delaware Courts”) for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), (ii) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the Delaware Courts and (iii) agrees

104

not to plead or claim in any Delaware Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum.

9.11 Amendment. Subject to applicable Law and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company; provided that (a) in the event that this Agreement has been adopted by the Company Stockholders in accordance with Delaware Law, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement that requires the approval of such Company Stockholders under Delaware Law without such approval and (b) Section 8.3(f), Section 9.3, Section 9.8, Section 9.9, Section 9.10, this Section 9.11, and the definition of “Financing Sources” (in each case, together with any related definitions and other provisions of this Agreement to the extent an amendment thereof would serve to modify the substance or provisions of any such Section) shall not be amended in a manner that is adverse to any Financing Source or any of its Affiliates or Representatives without the prior written consent of such Financing Source.

9.12 Extension; Waiver. At any time and from time to time prior to the Effective Time, any party or parties hereto may, to the extent legally allowed and except as otherwise set forth herein, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party or parties hereto, as applicable, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party or parties hereto contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party or parties hereto contained herein.
