THE OFFER

Section 2.1 The Offer.

(a) Provided that the Company has fulfilled its obligation to provide information to Parent and Merger Sub on a timely basis as contemplated by Section 2.1(e), Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof.

(b) The obligation of Merger Sub to accept for payment, purchase and pay for any Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to (i) the Minimum Condition and (ii) the other conditions set forth in Annex A hereto. Merger Sub expressly reserves the right (but shall not be obligated) at any time or from time to time, in its sole discretion, to waive any such condition (other than the Minimum Condition), to increase the price per Company Share payable in the Offer, and to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company no change may be made that (i) decreases the price per Company Share payable in the Offer, (ii) changes the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (iii) reduces the maximum number of Company Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, (iv) adds to the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A hereto, (v) extends the Offer other than as set forth in this Section 2.1, or (vi) modifies or amends any condition to the Offer in any manner materially adverse to the holders of Company Shares.

(c) The Offer initially shall be scheduled to expire twenty (20) Business Days following (and including, if it is a Business Day, the day of) the commencement thereof (the “Expiration Date,” unless extended in accordance with this subsection (c), in which case any expiration time and date established pursuant to an authorized extension of the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be the Expiration Date). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Merger Sub (i) at the written request of the Company, shall, and Parent shall then cause Merger Sub to, from time to time extend the Offer, in increments of no more than ten (10) Business Days each, if at the initial or any subsequent scheduled Expiration Date of the Offer any of the conditions to Merger Sub’s obligation to accept Company Shares for payment shall not be satisfied or waived, but each such condition is reasonably capable of being satisfied at or prior to the Outside Date, until such time as such conditions are satisfied or waived to the extent permitted by this Agreement, (ii) shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation or interpretation of the SEC, or the staff thereof, applicable to the Offer, or (iii) may extend the Offer one time for up to five (5) Business Days if all of the conditions to Merger Sub’s obligation to accept for payment Company Shares are satisfied or waived, but the number of Company Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer is less than ninety percent (90%) of the then outstanding

Company Shares on a fully diluted basis at the otherwise scheduled Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such extension provided for in this Section 2.1(c) shall extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date. In each of the above cases, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to extend the Offer from time to time in accordance with this Section 2.1(c) for the shortest time periods which it reasonably believes are necessary until consummation of the Offer if the conditions of the Offer shall not have been satisfied or waived, so long as this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article VIII hereof.

(d) The Per Share Amount shall, subject to applicable withholding of Taxes, be net to the seller of Company Shares in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, pay the Per Share Amount for all Company Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn promptly following the acceptance of Company Shares for payment in accordance with the terms of the Offer (the date and time of acceptance for payment of such Company Shares, the “Acceptance Time”). If payment of the Per Share Amount is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered certificate formerly evidencing Company Shares is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Amount to a Person other than the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of Merger Sub that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable.

(e) As promptly as practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer, and conditioned on Company’s having fulfilled its obligation to provide information to Parent and Merger Sub on a timely basis as contemplated by this Section 2.1(e), Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer. The Schedule TO shall contain or shall incorporate by reference an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) and forms of the related letter of transmittal and any related summary advertisement (the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and such other documents, together with all exhibits, supplements and amendments thereto, being referred to herein collectively as the “Offer Documents”). Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of Company Shares in all material respects to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. Parent and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Offer Documents to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of federal securities laws. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agree to correct promptly any information provided by any of them for use in the Offer Documents that shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Parent and Merger Sub further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule TO, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC, and the other Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be disseminated to holders of Company Shares, in each case in all material respects as required by applicable federal securities laws. The Company shall as promptly as practicable furnish to Merger Sub or Parent all information concerning the Company that is required by applicable federal securities laws or reasonably requested by Merger Sub or Parent in connection with their obligations relating to the Offer Documents or any action contemplated by this Section 2.1(e). Parent and Merger Sub shall give the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the

Schedule TO before it is filed with the SEC. In addition, Parent and Merger Sub agree to provide the Company and its counsel (i) in writing with any comments, whether written or oral, Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto, and (ii) reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any written or oral response to such comments or any proposed amendment to the Offer Documents prior to the filing thereof with the SEC.

(f) If, between the date of this Agreement and the date on which any particular Company Share is accepted for payment and paid for pursuant to the Offer, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by means of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or similar transaction, then the Per Share Amount applicable to such Company Share shall be appropriately adjusted.

Section 2.2 Company Action.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to and approves the Offer. Subject to Section 6.10, the Company hereby further consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of such approval and of the recommendation of the Company Board described in Section 4.4(b). The Company shall not withdraw or modify such recommendation in any manner adverse to Merger Sub or Parent except as provided in Section 6.10.

(b) Concurrently with the filing of the Schedule TO by Merger Sub and conditioned on Parent’s and Merger Sub’s having fulfilled their obligation to provide information to Company on a timely basis as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) containing, except as provided in Section 6.10, the recommendation of the Company Board described in Section 4.4(b). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be disseminated in all material respects as required by applicable federal securities laws. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of federal securities laws. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub agree to correct promptly any information provided by any of them for use in the Schedule 14D-9 which shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Company Shares, in each case in all material respects as required by applicable federal securities laws. Parent or Merger Sub shall as promptly as practicable furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub that is required by applicable federal securities laws or reasonably requested by the Company in connection with its obligations relating to the Schedule 14D-9. The Company shall give Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendments thereto) before it is filed with the SEC. In addition, the Company agrees to provide Parent, Merger and their counsel (i) in writing with any comments, whether written or oral, the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time

from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after the receipt of such comments, and (ii) reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any written or oral response to such comments or any proposed amendment to the Schedule 14D-9 prior to the filing thereof with the SEC.

(c) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall as promptly as practicable furnish or cause to be furnished (including by instructing its transfer agent to promptly furnish) to Merger Sub mailing labels containing the names and addresses of all record holders of Company Shares and with security position listings of Company Shares held in stock depositories, each as of a recent date, together with all other available listings and computer files containing names, addresses and security position listings of record holders and beneficial owners of Company Shares. The Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to Merger Sub such additional information, including updated listings and computer files of stockholders, mailing labels and security position listings, and such other assistance in disseminating the Offer Documents to holders of Company Shares as Parent or Merger Sub may reasonably request. Subject to the requirements of Law, including applicable stock exchange rules, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer or the Merger, Parent and Merger Sub shall hold in confidence the information contained in such labels, listings and files and shall use such information only in connection with the Transactions.

Section 2.3 Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”) to purchase up to that number of Company Shares (the “Top-Up Option Shares”) equal to the lowest number of Company Shares that, when added to the number of Company Shares collectively owned by Parent or Merger Sub at the time of exercise, shall constitute one Company Share more than ninety percent (90%) of the Company Shares then outstanding (determined on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares), at a purchase price per Top-Up Option Share equal to the Per Share Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(a), the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable if (i) the Minimum Condition shall have not been met or (ii) the aggregate number of (A) Company Shares issuable upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, plus (B) Company Shares then outstanding, plus (C) Company Shares issuable upon exercise of all options and other rights to purchase Company Shares, would exceed the number of authorized Company Shares.

(b) Merger Sub may, at its election, exercise the Top-Up Option, in whole, but not in part, at any one time after Merger Sub’s acceptance for payment of Company Shares pursuant to the Offer and prior to the earlier of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) the termination of this Agreement.

(c) If Merger Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall send to the Company a written notice (a “Top-Up Exercise Notice”) specifying the place for the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares (the “Top-Up Closing”) and a date not earlier than one (1) Business Day nor later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of the Top-Up Exercise Notice for the Top-Up Closing. The Company shall, promptly after receipt of the Top-Up Exercise Notice, deliver a written notice to Parent or Merger Sub confirming (i) the number of Company Shares then outstanding on a fully diluted basis, and (ii) the number of Top-Up Option Shares and the aggregate purchase price therefor.

(d) At the Top-Up Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement: (i) the Company shall deliver to Merger Sub a certificate or certificates evidencing the applicable number of Top-Up Option Shares; provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to deliver Top-Up Option Shares upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option is subject to the conditions that (A) no provision of any applicable Law shall prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the delivery of the Top-Up Option Shares in respect of any such exercise and (B) the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable if the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares would result in the issuance of Company Shares equal to or greater than 19.9% of the Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Execution Date unless Parent and Merger Sub certify to the Company in writing that within three (3) Business Days following the exercise of the Top-Up Option, Parent and Merger Sub shall consummate the Merger in a short-form merger without a meeting of the Company shareholders in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL (in which case, the Top-Up Option may be exercised without regard to this subsection B); and (ii) Merger Sub shall purchase each Top-Up Option Share from the Company at the Per Share Amount. Payment by Merger Sub of the purchase price for the Top-Up Option Shares may be made by delivery of immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company, a six-month full recourse promissory note bearing interest at the six-month LIBOR rate then in effect, or any combination of such wire transfer funds and promissory note. The Parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares is accomplished consistent with all applicable legal requirements, including all federal securities laws.

(e) Upon the delivery by Merger Sub to the Company of the Top-Up Exercise Notice, and the tender of the consideration described in Section 2.3(d), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Merger Sub to be the holder of record of the Top-Up Option Shares issuable upon that exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed or that certificates representing those Top-Up Option Shares may not then be actually delivered to Merger Sub or the Company may have failed or refused to designate the account described in Section 2.3(d).

(f) Certificates evidencing Top-Up Option Shares delivered hereunder shall include legends legally required by applicable securities laws.

Section 2.4 Board of Directors and Committees; Section 14(f).

(a) Promptly upon the purchase by Merger Sub of Company Shares pursuant to the Offer and from time to time thereafter, and subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.4(a), Parent shall be entitled to designate up to such number of directors, rounded to the nearest whole number, constituting at least a majority of the directors, on the Company Board as will give Parent representation on the Company Board equal to the product of the number of directors on the Company Board (giving effect to any increase in the number of directors pursuant to this Section 2.4) and the percentage that the number of Company Shares beneficially owned by Parent and Merger Sub bears to the total number of outstanding Company Shares, and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to, upon request by Parent, promptly, at the Company’s

election, either increase the size of the Company Board or secure the resignation of such number of directors as is necessary to enable Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board and to cause Parent’s designees to be so elected or appointed. At such times, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause persons designated by Parent to constitute a majority of each (i) committee of the Company Board, other than any committee of the Company Board, if any, established to take action under this Agreement, (ii) Board of Directors of each Subsidiary of the Company, and (iii) each committee thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that three of the members of the Company Board as of the date hereof shall remain members of the Company Board until the Effective Time. If the number of directors who are members of the Company Board as of the date hereof is reduced below three prior to the Effective Time, the remaining directors who are members of the Company Board as of the date hereof or their designees (or if there is only one such director, that remaining director) shall be entitled to designate a person (or persons) to fill such vacancy (or vacancies).

(b) The Company’s obligation to appoint designees to the Company Board shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. Subject to the Parent’s compliance with the final sentence of this Section 2.4(b), the Company shall promptly take all actions, including filing an amendment to the Schedule 14D-9 (and disseminating such amendment to the stockholders of the Company to the extent required by applicable Laws) containing such information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors and Parent’s designees as Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 require, in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.4. Parent shall timely supply to the Company in writing and be solely responsible for any information with respect to itself and its nominees, officers, directors and affiliates required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder.

(c) Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to this Section 2.4 and prior to the Effective Time, if there shall be any directors of the Company who were directors as of the date hereof, any amendment of this Agreement, any termination of this Agreement by the Company, any extension by the Company of the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Merger Sub or waiver of any of the Company’s rights hereunder or other action adversely affecting the rights of stockholders of the Company (other than Parent or Merger Sub), will require the concurrence of a majority of such directors.

Section 2.5 Short Form Merger. If, after the consummation of the Offer and any exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of Company Shares beneficially owned by Parent, Merger Sub and Parent’s other Subsidiaries collectively represent at least ninety percent (90%) of the then outstanding Company Shares, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, and the Company shall, execute and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as Parent or Merger Sub may request, in order to cause the Merger to be completed as promptly as reasonably practicable as provided in Section 253 of the DGCL, and otherwise as provided in Article III below.

Section 3.2 Closing; Effective Time. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) and all actions specified in this Agreement to occur at the Closing shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, at 10:00 a.m., local time, on the second Business Day following the day on which the last of the conditions set forth in Article VII shall have been fulfilled or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are satisfied at Closing, but subject to the waiver of fulfillment of those conditions) or at such other time and place as Parent and the Company shall agree (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a Certificate of Ownership and Merger in the case of a short-form merger or a Certificate of Merger in the case of a long-form merger, in substantially the respective forms attached hereto as Exhibits C and D (each being a “Certificate of Merger”), executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or at such subsequent time as Parent and the Company shall agree and as shall be specified in the Certificate of Merger), such time being referred to herein as the “Effective Time.”

Section 3.3 Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL, this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject thereto, as of the Effective Time, all properties, rights, immunities, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 3.4 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) At and following the Effective Time, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company attached to the Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter duly amended.

(b) At and following the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter duly amended.

Section 3.5 Directors; Officers.

(a) The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

(b) The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

Section 3.6 Manner and Basis of Converting Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any securities of the Merging Corporations:

(a) Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation outstanding immediately after the Effective Time. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company and all shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or by any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent or the Company (including any shares of Company Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to the Top-Up Option) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 3.6(b) and other than Dissenting Shares, as hereinafter defined) shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, payable to the holder thereof, without any interest thereon, equal to the Per Share Amount (the “Merger Consideration”), less any required withholding taxes, upon surrender and exchange of a Certificate. As of the Effective Time, all such Company Shares, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired, and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such Company Shares (a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided herein.

Section 3.7 Treatment of Company Options and Restricted Company Shares.

(a) Following the Effective Time, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each holder of a Company Option that is Vested immediately prior to the Effective Time (each such option, or portion thereof, a “Company Vested Option”), an amount in cash in respect thereof equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Amount over the per share exercise price of the Company Vested Option held by such holder and (B) the number of shares of common stock subject thereto (the “Option Consideration”) (such payment, if any, to be net of applicable Taxes). Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay such amounts under this Section 3.7(a) to the holder of each such Company Vested Option within ten (10) Business Days following receipt by Parent of all reasonably necessary forms of transmittal information from such holder. Parent shall provide the Company within five (5) Business Days following the date hereof forms of all transmittal information (including any Tax forms or certifications) reasonably necessary in respect to the payment of the Option Consideration. In connection therewith, the Company shall disseminate such transmittal information, provide any other notices to holders of vested Company Options, and the Company Board shall adopt any resolutions, in each case as reasonably requested by Parent.

(b) Effective as of the Effective Time, Parent shall assume any Company Option, or portion of such Company Option, that is not Vested immediately prior to the Effective Time (each an “Assumed Option”), and each such Assumed Option shall become an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, a number of shares of Parent common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying (i) the number of Shares subject to the unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the quotient obtained from dividing the Per Share Amount by the Average Price (the “Option Exchange Ratio”) (rounded down to the nearest whole number), at a price per share of Parent common stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained from dividing (A) the exercise price per share of the shares of Company Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the assumed Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Option Exchange Ratio. In connection therewith, the Company shall provide any notices to holders of Assumed Options and the Company Board shall adopt any resolutions, in each case as reasonably requested by Parent, to effectuate the foregoing.

(c) Except as otherwise separately agreed in writing between Parent and any holder of an award of Company restricted stock units, each award of Company restricted stock units (each a “Company RSU”) outstanding at the Effective Time that is to be settled in Company Common Stock and is outstanding and not Vested immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by Parent (each an “Assumed RSU”) and converted into a restricted stock unit, subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company RSU, to acquire that number of shares of Parent common stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company RSU, and (y) the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest share of Parent.

(d) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent common stock for delivery upon exercise of the Assumed Options and conversion and settlement of the Assumed RSUs. As soon as practicable (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time), Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) or another appropriate form with respect to the shares of Parent common stock subject to such Assumed Options and Assumed RSUs, and thereafter shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of that registration statement for as long as any Assumed Options or Assumed RSUs remain outstanding.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, any Tax deductions arising from any change-in-control, bonus or similar payments, or the cancellation and termination of Company Options and payment of Option Consideration arising from or pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (i) shall be treated as arising on the day of, but arising and properly allocable to the portion of the day after, the Effective Time and (ii) shall be treated as arising in, and shall be allocated to, the Company’s taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the day of the Effective Time (the “Post-Closing Period”). The parties shall report consistently with the preceding sentence for all Tax purposes, and shall not take any inconsistent position in any Tax proceeding. In making such allocation, the parties agree that the cancellation and termination of the Company Vested Options and payment of the Option Consideration pursuant to this Agreement, arises outside the ordinary course of business of the Company as carried on prior to the day of the Effective Time and therefore is appropriately allocated to the Post-Closing Period.

Section 3.8 Treatment of Company Warrants. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that, effective as of the Effective Time, the Company Warrants are terminated. In consideration of such termination, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to (a) pay to the holder of each Company Warrant, an amount in cash in respect thereof equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price of the Company Warrant held by such holder and (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject thereto (the “Warrant Consideration”) (such payment, if any, to be net of applicable withholding taxes). Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay such amounts under this Section 3.8 as soon as practicable following (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days after) the Effective Time to the holder of the Company Warrant.

Section 3.9 Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by holders who shall have complied with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and holders of such Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until the applicable holder fails to comply with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s rights to receive payment of the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to comply with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL or effectively withdraws or loses such right, such Dissenting Shares

shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.9, if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Time, then the right of any holder of Company Shares to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall cease. The Company shall give Parent notice of any written demands for appraisal of Dissenting Shares received by the Company under Section 262 of the DGCL, and shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, (i) make any payment with respect to any such demands for appraisal, (ii) offer to settle or settle any such demands, (iii) waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal in accordance with the DGCL or (iv) agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 3.10 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, (i) Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange and paying agent, registrar and transfer agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging certificates representing, immediately prior to the Effective Time, Company Shares for the Merger Consideration, and (ii) Parent shall deposit, or Parent shall otherwise take all steps necessary to cause to be deposited, in trust with the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of Company Shares, cash in an aggregate amount equal to the product of (x) the number of Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.6(c) and (y) the Merger Consideration (such aggregate amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”). For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of cash to be deposited by Parent pursuant to this Section 3.10(a), Parent shall assume that no holder of Company Shares will perfect their right to appraisal of their Company Shares under the DGCL. Following the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall retain the right to invest and reinvest the Payment Fund on behalf of the Surviving Corporation in securities listed or guaranteed by the United States government or certificates of deposit of commercial banks that have, or are members of a group of commercial banks that has, consolidated total assets of not less than $500,000,000 and the Surviving Corporation shall receive the interest earned thereon.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, but in no event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each record holder of a Certificate or Certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Company Shares (i) a notice of the effectiveness of the Merger, (ii) a form letter of transmittal which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, which shall be in a form and contain such other provisions as Parent and the Company may determine necessary, and (iii) instructions for use in surrendering such Certificates and receiving the Merger Consideration in respect thereof to which such holder is entitled under this Agreement. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, in the case of Company Shares, cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Company Shares formerly represented by such Certificate and (ii) the Merger Consideration, to be mailed within ten (10)

Business Days of receipt of such Certificate. No interest or dividends will be paid or accrued on the Merger Consideration. If the Merger Consideration is to be delivered in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate surrendered is registered in the stock transfer records of the Company, it shall be a condition of such delivery that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such delivery shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of such delivery to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate, or that such person shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.10(b), each Certificate (other than Certificates representing Dissenting Shares or Company Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 3.6(b)) shall represent, for all purposes, only the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Company Shares formerly evidenced by such Certificate without any interest or dividends thereon. The Payment Fund shall be used as provided herein and shall not be used for any other purpose.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. The consideration issued upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares formerly represented thereby. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of any shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

(d) Termination of Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund (including any amounts that may be payable to the former stockholders of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) which remains unclaimed by the former stockholders of the Company upon the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any former stockholders of the Company who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall, subject to Section 3.10(e), thereafter look only to the Parent and the Surviving Corporation only as general unsecured creditors thereof for payment of any Merger Consideration, without any interest or dividends thereon, that may be payable in respect of each Company Share held by such stockholders. None of Merger Sub, the Company or the Paying Agent shall be liable to a holder of Certificates or any other person in respect of any cash or other consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if requested by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, Parent will pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 3.6.

(f) Withholding Taxes. The right of any Person to receive payment or consideration payable upon surrender of a Certificate pursuant to the Merger will be subject to any applicable requirements with respect to the withholding of any Tax. To the extent amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, (i) such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Shares, in respect of which the deduction, withholding and remittance to the appropriate Governmental Entity was made and (ii) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, to, promptly pay over such withheld amounts to the appropriate Governmental Entity. This Section 3.10(f) shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.7.

(g) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the issued and outstanding Company Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, redenomination, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration and any other dependent items shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Merger Consideration or other dependent item, subject to further adjustment in accordance with this sentence.

Section 3.11 Further Assurances. If at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances or any other acts or things are necessary, desirable or proper (a) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of either of the Merging Corporations, or (b) otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Company or Surviving Corporation, as applicable, and their respective proper officers and directors or their designees shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either of the Merging Corporations, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to do, in the name and on behalf of either Merging Corporation or any such Stockholder, all such other acts and things as may be necessary, desirable or proper to vest, perfect or confirm the Surviving Corporation’s right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of such Merging Corporation and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) No filing or registration with, or authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Entity is required by or with respect to the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company or is necessary for the consummation of the Merger and the Transactions, except for:

To the Company’s Knowledge, there are no SEC inquiries or investigations or internal investigations pending or threatened.

Section 4.7 SEC Reports; Undisclosed Liabilities.

(a) The Company has filed all SEC Reports with the SEC required to be filed by it pursuant to the federal securities laws and the SEC rules and regulations thereunder on a timely basis or has timely filed a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension.

(c) The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as such terms are defined in paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act are made known to the management of the Company as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to the Company’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the Company Board (A) any known significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) which are reasonably likely to adversely affect in any material respect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and (B) any fraud or allegation of fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Since January 1, 2011, the Company has not identified any material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting.

(e) None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is indebted to any director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (except for amounts due as normal salaries and bonuses or in reimbursement of ordinary business expenses and directors’ fees), and no such person is indebted to the Company or any Subsidiary, and, except as set forth in the SEC Reports, as amended, there have been no other transactions of the type required to be disclosed pursuant to Items 402 or 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

(p) any authorization of, or agreement by the Company or any Subsidiary to take, any of the actions described in this Section 4.8, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.9 Title to and Sufficiency of Assets. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and valid title to, or, in the case of leased properties and assets, valid leasehold interests in all of their tangible properties and assets, real and personal, used or held for use in their businesses located on their premises or shown on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Balance Sheet Date or acquired thereafter, free and clear of any Liens, except for (i) Liens for taxes not yet delinquent or the amount or validity of which is being contested in good faith, and (ii) Liens which do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with or materially impair the conduct of the business of the Company or any

Subsidiary as presently conducted. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary owns any real property. The Company’s and each Subsidiary’s buildings, equipment and other tangible assets are in good operating condition (normal wear and tear excepted) and are fit for use in the ordinary course of their businesses, except for any failure to be in such condition that could not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.9 of the Company Schedule of Exceptions sets forth all of the licenses, leases and subleases for the use or occupancy of the leased real property used or held for use in the business operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Leases”). The Company has not, and to the Company’s Knowledge no other party thereto has, cancelled, modified, assigned, extended or amended the Leases except as set forth on Section 4.9 of the Company Schedule of Exceptions, and the Leases are valid and effective in accordance with their respective terms, and there is not under any of the Leases, any existing default or event of default by the Company or the Subsidiaries (or event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default), except where the lack of such validity and effectiveness or the existence of such default or event of default would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries have previously furnished true, correct and complete copies of the Leases to Parent, including any and all amendments thereto. There are no leasing commissions or similar payments due, arising out of, resulting from or with respect to any Lease which are owed by Company or its Subsidiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in the Leases, the Company or its Subsidiaries have not granted any oral or written right or interest in or to the leased real property to any other person to lease, sublease, license or otherwise use or occupy the leased real property. The Company has peaceful and undisturbed possession of the leased real property under the Leases. Each parcel of leased real property is located on public roads or streets or, to the Company’s Knowledge, has a right of access without trespass to the same. To the Company’s Knowledge, all utility systems required in connection with the use, occupancy and operation of each leased real property space is sufficient for their present purposes and are operational and there are no known material structural, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, air conditioning, heating or other defects in the leased real property. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries have received notice of any non-compliance with current zoning or land use laws affecting any leased real property or any portion thereof, and, to the Company’s Knowledge, no such action is presently threatened. To the Company’s Knowledge (A) there is no pending condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the leased real property or any portion thereof and (B) no such action is presently contemplated or threatened against any leased real property. To the Company’s Knowledge, no material federal, state or municipal law, ordinance, regulation or restriction is violated by the continued maintenance, operation, use or occupancy of any leased real property in its present manner, except for such violations which would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect and, to the Company’s Knowledge, the current use of the leased real property does not violate in any material respect any restrictive covenants affecting such leased real property. To the Company’s Knowledge there is no law, ordinance, order, regulation or requirement now in existence which is reasonably likely to require any material expenditure to modify or improve any of the leased real property in order to bring it into compliance therewith.

Section 4.10 Permits and Compliance with Laws. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any Law applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate,

a Company Material Adverse Effect, the Company and the Subsidiaries each holds all permits, licenses, consents, authorizations, certificates, variances, exemptions, orders and approvals (collectively, “Permits”) of and from all, and has made all material declarations and filings with, Governmental Entity necessary for the lawful conduct of their businesses, as presently conducted, and to own, lease, license and use their respective properties and assets.

Each of the Company and Parent further agrees that if such party shall become aware prior to the Effective Time of any information furnished by such party that would cause any of the statements in the Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other parties thereof and to take the necessary steps to correct the Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent shall acquire at least ninety percent (90%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock with or without exercising its rights under the Top-Up Option, the Parties shall take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Offer without a stockholders meeting in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL.

(c) Parent shall cause all shares of Company Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Offer and all other shares of Company Common Stock owned by Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent to be voted in favor of the approval and adoption of this Agreement.

Section 6.3 Filings and Consents.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts (i) to cooperate with one another in determining which filings are required to be made by each party prior to the Effective Time with, and which consents, approvals, permits or authorizations are required to be obtained by each party prior to the Effective Time from, Governmental Entities (including such filings as are required under the HSR Act and other Antitrust Laws, and payment of fees thereunder, which shall be paid by Parent) or other third parties in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions and (ii) to assist the other party in timely making all such filings and timely seeking all such consents, approvals, permits, authorizations and waivers required to be made and obtained by the other party

(b) The Parties agree to cooperate and to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all permits, authorizations, consents, clearances, approvals, waivers, actions or non-actions required for Closing from a Governmental Entity under any Antitrust Law (collectively the “Antitrust Consents”) as soon as reasonably possible, to respond promptly to any requests from any Governmental Entity for information under any Antitrust Law relating to the Offer, the Top-Up Option, or the Merger (including without limitation a “second request” under the HSR Act), and to contest and resist any administrative or judicial action by any Governmental Entity (an “Antitrust Action”) that seeks to restrict, prevent or prohibit the consummation of the Offer, the Top-Up Option or the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Antitrust Law; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any order, decree, judgment or permanent injunction (an “Antitrust Order”) that prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Offer, the Top-Up Option or the Merger. The Parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the

views of one another, in connection with, and provide to the other Parties in advance with reasonable time for review, any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions, proposals or other communications prepared for submission to a Governmental Entity under any Antitrust Law in connection with the Offer, the Top-Up Option or the Merger and made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Law. Subject to the relevant Governmental Entity’s consent, each Party will provide the other Parties advance notice of, and permit representatives of the other Parties to attend and participate in, all meetings with a Governmental Entity relating to the Offer, the Top-Up Option, or the Merger under any Antitrust Law.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, “reasonable best efforts” for purposes of this Section 6.3 shall include the obligation by Parent, Merger Sub, and any of their Subsidiaries to negotiate and consent to, and thereafter to implement, any of the following measures if doing so would enable the Parties to obtain the Antitrust Consents or resolve any Antitrust Action under Section 6.3(b): (i) sell, license, assign, transfer, divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any assets, business or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change the assets, business or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries in any manner, or (iii) impose any restriction, requirement or limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided, however, that “reasonable best efforts” shall not require Parent, Merger Sub, or any of their respective Subsidiaries to take any action described in subsections (i) – (iii) above if doing so would be materially adverse to the business, financial condition or results of operations of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their Subsidiaries taken as a whole and, provided further, that if requested by Parent, the Company will become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order provided that such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order is only binding on the Company in the event the Closing occurs.

Section 6.4 Public Announcements. The initial press release regarding the Transactions shall be a joint press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement and thereafter. Prior to the Closing, the Parties will not issue any press release with respect to the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise issue any written public statements with respect to such Transactions without the prior written consent of the other party, except as may be required by applicable law or regulation, in which case the party making such disclosure will first provide to the other party the text of the proposed disclosure, the reasons such disclosure is required and the time and manner in which the disclosure is intended to be made.

Section 6.5 Access to Information. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of Effective Time and the date this Agreement is properly terminated in accordance with Article VIII, the Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and their affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financial advisors and representatives (collectively, the “Company Representatives”) to, give Merger Sub and Parent and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financial advisors, representatives, consultants and financing

sources (collectively, the “Parent Representatives”) access, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to the offices and other facilities and to the books and records and personnel of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries and will cause its Subsidiaries and the Company Representatives to furnish Parent, Merger Sub and the Parent Representatives with such financial and operating data and such other information with respect to the business and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries as Parent, Merger Sub or the Parent Representatives may from time to time reasonably request. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to, or disclose, information to the extent such access or disclosure would jeopardize or violate any attorney-client privilege or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement (it being agreed that the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such jeopardy or contravention). The Company makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any information provided pursuant to this Section 6.5, and neither Merger Sub nor Parent may rely on the accuracy of any such information, in each case other than as expressly set forth in the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Article IV. The information provided pursuant to this Section 6.5 will be used solely for the purpose of effecting the Transactions and each of Parent and Merger Sub will, and will cause the Parent Representatives to, treat any such information in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement dated November 7, 2011 between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) and those certain Letter Agreements, dated December 22, 2011, December 23, 2011, December 27, 2011 and December 30, 2011, between the Company and Parent (collectively, the “Diligence Agreements”).

Section 6.6 Notification of Certain Matters. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to give notice as promptly as practicable to the Company, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to give notice as promptly as practicable to Parent, of: (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or circumstance, of which the Parent or Company (as applicable) is aware, and which causes (i) the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement and made by it to fail to be true and correct in all material respects or (ii) the covenants, conditions or agreements contained in this Agreement and made by it not to be complied with or satisfied in all material respects; (b) any failure of any of Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company, as the case may be, to comply in all material respects in a timely manner with or satisfy its respective covenants, conditions or agreements to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; (c) in the case of the Company, a Company Material Adverse Effect; and (d) in the case of the Parent, a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, (A) the failure of any Party to provide a notice required under this Section 6.6 shall not constitute a failure of a condition to the obligations of any Party in this Agreement or Annex A nor shall such failure affect the right of any Party to terminate in accordance with Article VIII, unless in any case the event or circumstance relates to a Company Material Adverse Effect (in the case of the Company) or a Parent Material Adverse Effect (in the case of Parent) and (B) the notice obligations under this Section 6.6 shall not modify or reduce the representations, warranties or covenants of any Party or the conditions to the obligations of any Party hereunder, nor shall it limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the Party receiving such notice.

Section 6.7 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and director exculpation, as are set forth in the Company Certificate and Company Bylaws as in effect at the date hereof (to the extent consistent with applicable Law), which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the persons who at any time prior to the Effective Time were entitled to indemnification, advancement of expenses or exculpation under the Company Certificate and Company Bylaws in respect of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the Transactions), unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b) From and after the Effective Time and until the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitation, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), liabilities or amounts that are paid in settlement of, or otherwise (“Losses”), in connection with any claim, action, suit, Proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and including all appeals thereof (a “Claim”) to which any Indemnified Party is or may become a party to by virtue of his or her service as a present or former director, officer, fiduciary or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or his or her serving at the request of the Company or its Subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and arising out of actual or alleged events, actions or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, matters related to the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement or consummation of the Transactions), in each case to the fullest extent permitted and provided in the Company Certificate and Company Bylaws as in effect at the date hereof and as permitted under the DGCL.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, (i) the Company shall obtain “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of six (6) years from the Effective Time with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in an amount and scope no less favorable than the existing policy of the Company for claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or prior to the Effective Time at a cost that is reasonable and customary for tail insurance policies with its existing directors’ and officers’ liability policy insurer or an insurer with a comparable insurer financial strength rating as the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability policy insurer; or (ii) if the Company shall not have obtained such tail policy, the Surviving Corporation will provide for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time the directors and officers who are insured under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy with an insurance policy that provides coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is not less favorable taken as a whole than the existing policy of the Company or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay an aggregate premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such insurance; provided further, however, that if the annual premium of such

coverage exceeds such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain competitive quotes (from insurance providers with comparable ratings) for such insurance coverage in an effort to reduce the cost thereof.

(d) The obligations under this Section 6.7 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to affect adversely any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.7 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.7 applies and their respective heirs, successors and assigns shall be express third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.7). This Section 6.7 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnified Parties referred to herein, their heirs and personal representatives and shall be binding on the Surviving Corporation and its successors and assigns.

(e) If the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.

Section 6.8 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Company Benefit Plans in effect as of the date of this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to employees of the Company (or their Subsidiaries) covered by such plans at the Effective Time until such time as Parent shall, subject to applicable Law, the terms of this Agreement and the terms of such plans, adopt new benefit plans with respect to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “New Benefit Plans”). Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall cooperate in reviewing, evaluating and analyzing Company Benefit Plans with a view towards developing appropriate New Benefit Plans for the employees covered thereby. At such time as any New Benefit Plans are implemented, Parent will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, with respect to all New Benefit Plans, (i) provide each employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries with service or other credit for all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries under any New Benefit Plan that is a welfare plan that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Effective Time, to the extent that such employee would receive credit for such conditions under the corresponding welfare plan in which any such employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) provide each employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any New Benefit Plan that is a welfare plan that such employees are eligible to participate in after the Effective Time, (iii) provide each employee with credit for all service for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accruals (but not for benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan) with the Company and its Subsidiaries, under each employee benefit plan, program, or arrangement of Parent or its Subsidiaries in which such employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time, and (iv)

provide benefits under medical, dental, vision and similar health and welfare plans that are in the aggregate no less favorable than those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that in no event shall the employees be entitled to any credit to the extent that it would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.8, Parent shall have no obligation to provide any credit for service, co-payments, deductibles paid, or for any purpose, unless and until Parent has received such supporting documentation as Parent may reasonably deem to be necessary in order to verify the appropriate credit to be provided.

(b) If requested by Parent at least seven (7) days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall terminate any and all Company Benefit Plans intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code, effective not later than the last business day immediately preceding the Effective Time. In the event that Parent requests that such 401(k) plan(s) be terminated, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such 401(k) plan(s) have been terminated pursuant to resolution of the Company’s Board (the form and substance of which shall be subject to review and approval by Parent) not later than the day immediately preceding the Effective Time.

(c) The foregoing notwithstanding, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, honor in accordance with their terms all benefits accrued through the Effective Time under Company Benefit Plans or under other contracts, arrangements, commitments, or understandings described in the Company Schedule of Exceptions.

Section 6.9 Further Assurances; Reasonable Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, each of the Parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.10 No Solicitation.

(a) Company Takeover Proposal.

(i) The Company shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any Company Subsidiary to, nor shall it authorize or permit any Company Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of, any Company Takeover Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate knowingly the making of any inquiry or any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Company Takeover Proposal or (iii) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in respect of any Company Takeover Proposal (except as permitted by Section 6.10(b)).

(ii) The Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries and each Company Representative to, (A) immediately cease and cause to be terminated all discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to

any proposal that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Takeover Proposal and (B) request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished. The Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, enforce (and not release any person from any obligations under) any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the acceptance for payment of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, the Company may, in response to a Company Takeover Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation is or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Company Proposal that was not solicited by the Company or Company Representatives and that did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 6.10(a), and subject to providing prior written notice of its decision to take such action to Parent and compliance with Section 6.10(c): (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the person making such Company Takeover Proposal pursuant to a confidentiality agreements not less restrictive of the other party than the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 6.5), provided that all such information not previously provided to Parent is provided or made available on a substantially concurrent basis to Parent and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such Company Takeover Proposal regarding such Company Takeover Proposal.

(b) Change in Recommendation.

(i) Neither the Company nor the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (A) (1) withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify the approval or recommendation by the Company Board or any such committee of this Agreement, the Offer or the Merger or (2) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Company Takeover Proposal (either (1) or (2) being a “Change in Recommendation”) or (B) approve, cause or permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or similar agreement (each, an “Acquisition Agreement”) relating to any Company Takeover Proposal.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, to the extent that the Company Board determines after consultation with outside counsel that a failure to do so would be inconsistent with the fiduciary obligations of the Company Board under applicable Laws, (A) make a Change in Recommendation or (B) at any time prior to the acceptance for payment of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, in response to a Superior Company Proposal that was not solicited by or on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary and did not otherwise result from a breach of Section 6.10(a), terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e) so long as concurrently with or immediately after such termination, the Company Board causes the Company to accept such Superior Company Proposal and enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that such determination shall not be made prior to the fifth Business Day following receipt by Parent of a Superior Proposal Notice. A “Superior Proposal Notice” means a written notice to Parent from the Company advising Parent that the Company Board is prepared to make a Change in Recommendation or accept a Superior Company Proposal, specifying the terms and conditions of such Superior Company Proposal and identifying the person making such Superior Company

Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any material amendment to the price or any other material term of such Superior Company Proposal shall require a new Superior Proposal Notice and a new five (5) Business Day period, as provided above). During the three (3) Business Day period following receipt of the Superior Company Proposal (the “Negotiation Period”), the Company shall negotiate in good faith with Parent to make such revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would permit the Company Board not to make a Change in Recommendation or accept a Superior Company Proposal; provided that, in the event the Person making a Superior Company Proposal revises such Superior Company Proposal in response to revisions proposed by Parent, the Company shall notify and provide a copy to Parent of such revised Superior Company Proposal within 24 hours of receipt thereof and the Parent and Company shall enter into a Negotiation Period during the two (2) Business Day period following delivery of such revised Superior Company Proposal to Parent. If Parent proposes no such revisions during such period as would permit the Company Board not to make a Change in Recommendation, then the Company and the Company Board may take such actions described in (A) and (B) above if after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith that the third party’s proposal remains a Superior Company Proposal (even in light of any of Parent’s revised proposals) and that, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, the failure to make a Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

(c) Company Takeover Proposal Information. The Company shall promptly, but in any event within forty-eight (48) hours, advise Parent orally and in writing of any Company Takeover Proposal (including any change to the terms of any such Company Takeover Proposal) and the identity of the person making any such Company Takeover Proposal. The Company shall (i) keep Parent fully informed of the status of any such Company Takeover Proposal, and (ii) promptly advise Parent of any material amendments to the terms of any such Company Takeover Proposal. The Company shall not take any actions whether contractually or otherwise to limit its ability to comply with its obligations hereunder; provided, that the failure to take any such action would not be inconsistent with the fiduciary obligations of the Company Board.

Section 6.11 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board, or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors thereof, shall duly adopt a resolution that the disposition by any officer or director of the Company who is a covered Person of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder of Shares, Company Options, Company RSUs pursuant to this Agreement, and the Offer and the Merger shall be an exempt transaction for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

Section 6.12 Rule 14d-10(d) Matters. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company (acting through the compensation committee of the Company Board) shall take all such steps as may be required to cause each agreement and arrangement entered into by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company on or after the date hereof with any of its officers, directors or employees pursuant to which consideration is paid to such officer, director or employee to be approved as an “employment, compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act and to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.13 Obligations of Merger Sub. Prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms:

(a) Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub not to, undertake any business or activities other than in connection with this Agreement and engaging in the Merger and the other Transactions.

(b) Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Parent and Merger Sub shall not engage in any action or enter into any transaction or permit any action to be taken or transaction to be entered into that would reasonably be expected to materially delay the consummation of, or otherwise adversely affect, the Merger or any of the other Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, acquire (whether via merger, consolidation, stock or asset purchase or otherwise), or agree to so acquire, any material amounts of assets of or any equity in any Person or any business or division thereof, unless that acquisition or agreement would not (i) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the Merger or the other Transactions or the expiration or termination of any waiting period under applicable Law, or (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, or the other Transactions or increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise.

Section 6.14 Rights Agreements. The Company covenants and agrees that it will not adopt a stockholder rights plan or “poison pill.”

Section 6.15 Fairness Opinion. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver a written copy of the Fairness Opinion to Parent solely for informational purposes.

Section 6.16 Tax Matters. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the date of the Effective Time, (i) the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed by each such entity during such period (after taking into account any extensions) (each, a “Post-Signing Return”), which Post-Signing Returns shall be complete and correct in all respects and, except as otherwise required by Law, shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the past practice of the Company; provided, however, that no material Post-Signing Returns shall be filed with any Governmental Entity without Parent’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (ii) the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall timely pay all Taxes due and payable with respect to the Tax periods covered by such Post-Signing Returns; (iii) the Company shall accrue a liability in its books and records and financial statements in accordance with GAAP and past practice for all Taxes payable by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for which no Post-Signing Return is due prior to the day of the Effective Time; (iv) the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall promptly notify Parent of any suit, claim, action, investigation, proceeding or audit pending against or with respect to the

Company or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any material amount of Tax and will not settle or compromise any such suit, claim, action, investigation, proceeding or audit without Parent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (v) the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall retain all books, documents and records necessary for the preparation of Tax Returns and reports and Tax audits consistent with its standard policy.

Section 6.17 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 6.18 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed regarding the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to the Transactions; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.18 shall (i) give Parent the right to participate in or control any such defense or settlement or (ii) require the Company to provide any information or make any disclosures to Parent that might jeopardize or violate the attorney-client privilege or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if Parent is a party to any such litigation and such settlement contains any stipulations of fact related to the merits of the claims against Parent that would reasonably be expected to be adverse to the Parent’s defense of such litigation.

Section 6.19 Financing.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, including their reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter, (ii) negotiate and enter into, and keep in effect, definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter (including the flex provisions) or on other terms no less favorable to Parent and Merger Sub, provided such terms do not contain any additional conditions to funding and would not otherwise reasonably be expected to impair or delay the consummation of the Financing, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent and Merger Sub in the Commitment Letter that are within their control, (iv) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, including using their reasonable best efforts to cause the financing sources to fund the Financing at or prior to the Closing, (v) to take each of the actions required of the Company and its Subsidiaries in paragraphs (b)(i) through (b)(v) below with respect to themselves and their Subsidiaries, and (vi) enforce their rights under the Commitment Letter (including by taking such action necessary to cause each other party thereto to specifically perform their obligations in accordance with the terms thereof). In the event of any termination of the Commitment Letter or the receipt by Parent of written notice that the counterparty to the Commitment Letter no longer intends to provide the Financing, (A) Parent shall promptly notify the Company (such notice being a “Financing Termination Notice”) and (B) Parent and Merger Sub shall arrange and obtain financing from alternative sources (the “Alternative Financing”) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event. Parent shall provide the Company regular updates regarding its progress in obtaining such Alternative Financing and shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of all agreements related to such Alternative Financing (excluding fee letters and engagement letters to the extent Parent is prohibited from providing

such letters) promptly upon the execution thereof. In furtherance of the provisions of this Section 6.18, the Commitment Letter may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or superseded at the option of Parent after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Effective Time by instruments (the “New Commitment Letters”) that replace the existing Commitment Letter or contemplate financing from one or more other or additional parties; provided that the terms of the New Commitment Letters shall not (1) expand upon the conditions precedent to the Financing as set forth in the existing Commitment Letter, (2) reasonably be expected to, directly or indirectly, prevent, impede, delay or hinder the Closing or (3) reduce the aggregate amount of available Financing. In such event, the term “Commitment Letter” as used herein shall be deemed to include the Commitment Letter that are not so superseded at the time in question and the New Commitment Letters to the extent then in effect. Parent shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of all agreements related to such New Commitment Letters (excluding fee letters and engagement letters to the extent Parent is prohibited from providing such letters) promptly upon the execution thereof.

(b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to use their reasonable best efforts to, provide all cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Financing as may be reasonably requested by Parent (provided that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), including (i) making senior management of the Company available to participate in meetings, due diligence sessions, presentations, “road shows” and sessions with rating agencies, (ii) assisting with the preparation of customary materials for rating agency presentations, offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents required in connection with the Financing, (iii) furnishing Parent and its financing sources with customary financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (the “Required Information”), including financial statements, pro forma financial information, financial data, audit reports and other information of the and form customarily included in such documents, (iv) assisting Parent in obtaining accountants’ comfort letters, legal opinions, surveys and title insurance and (v) executing and delivering any commitment letters, underwriting or placement agreements, registration statements, pledge and security documents, other definitive financing documents or other requested certificates or documents, including a customary solvency certificate by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (provided that (A) none of the letters, agreements, registration statements, documents and certificates shall be executed, delivered or filed except upon the occurrence of the Closing and (B) the effectiveness thereof shall be conditioned upon, or become operative after, the occurrence of the Closing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of each of clauses (i) through (v) above of the prior sentence, (A) none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other fee, provide any security or incur any other liability or obligation in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing, and (B) (I) all non-public or other confidential information provided by the Company or any of its representatives pursuant to this Section 6.18 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Parent shall be permitted to disclose such information to potential lending syndicate members during syndication, subject to customary confidentiality undertakings by such potential syndicate members and (II) the Company shall be permitted a reasonable period to comment on any documents or other information circulated to potential financing sources that contain or are based upon any such non-public or other confidential information. Parent shall indemnify and

hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Company’s Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (including any action taken in accordance with this Section 6.18(b)) and any information utilized in connection therewith. Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Company’s Representatives in connection with this Section 6.18(b). The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing in a manner customary for similar financing transactions. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Company and its Affiliates and employees have no responsibility for any financing that Parent may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that their obtaining of the Financing is not a condition to the Closing, and reaffirm their obligations to consummate the Transactions contemplated hereby, irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or the completion of such issuance.

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(b) by Parent prior to the acceptance of shares of Company Common Stock for payment pursuant to the Offer, if the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement shall not be true and correct in all material respects, or if the Company breaches or fails to perform in any material respect its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which failure to be true and correct, breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Annex A and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured prior to the Outside Date; provided that Parent shall have given the Company written notice, delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such termination, stating Parent’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) and the basis for such termination;

(c) by the Company prior to the acceptance of shares of Company Common Stock for payment pursuant to the Offer, if the representations and warranties made by Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement shall not be true and correct in all material respects, or if either Parent or Merger Sub breaches or fails to perform in any material respect its respective covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which failure to be true and correct, breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to a Parent Material Adverse Effect and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured prior to the Outside Date; provided that the Company shall have given Parent written notice, delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such termination, stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) and the basis for such termination;

(i) if any Governmental Entity issues an order, decree or ruling or takes any other action permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the acceptance for payment of, or payment for, shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer or the Merger and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this subsection (i) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement has been the cause of, resulted in, or contributed to, such order, decree, ruling or other action; or

(ii) if as the result of the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Annex A to this Agreement, the Offer shall have terminated or expired in accordance with its

terms (including after giving effect to any extensions) without Merger Sub having purchased any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this subsection (ii) shall not be available to any Party (A) whose failure to fulfill its obligations contained in this Agreement has been the cause of, resulted in, or contributed to, the failure of any such condition to have occurred on or prior to the aforesaid date or (B) who has failed to comply in all material respects with its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which failure to comply has not been cured;

(e) by the Company, prior to the acceptance for payment of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, in accordance with Section 6.10(b); provided, however, that, in order for the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this subparagraph to be effective, the Company shall have complied with all of the provisions of Section 6.10, including the notice provisions therein, and with all applicable requirements of Section 8.3 including payment of the Company Termination Fee; or

(f) by Parent if the Minimum Condition shall not have been met by Outside Date; provided, however, that Parent’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this subsection (f) shall not be available if Parent or Merger Sub (A) has failed to fulfill any of its obligations contained in this Agreement and such failure has been the cause of, resulted in, or contributed to, the failure of the Minimum Condition to have been met on or prior to the aforesaid date or (B) has failed to comply in all material respects with any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which failure to comply has not been cured.

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Parent or the Company, as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability hereunder on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or their respective officers or directors (except for the last sentence of Section 6.5 and the entirety of this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Article IX, which shall survive the termination); provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for any willful and material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement.

Section 8.3 Fees and Expenses.

(a) General. Except as set forth in Section 6.3 and 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 incurring such expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated.

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

(i) This Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(e); or

(ii) (A) the Company has knowledge of a Company Takeover Proposal and such Company Takeover Proposal shall have not been withdrawn, (B) a Company Takeover Proposal shall have been made directly to holders of Company Common Stock and such

Company Takeover Proposal shall have not been withdrawn or (C) any Person has publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional), and not withdrawn its intent, to make a Company Takeover Proposal, and thereafter this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii), or Section 8.1(f), and within twelve (12) months of such termination the Company either enters into an Acquisition Agreement or consummates a Company Takeover Proposal involving the Person who made the Company Takeover Proposal;

then in the case of (i) or (ii) above, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than the date of the earliest such event, pay to Parent a fee equal to (A) Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000) plus (B) all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket Parent expenses relating hereto up to, but not exceeding, One and a Half Million Dollars ($1,500,000) in the aggregate ((A) and (B) collectively, the “Company Termination Fee”), payable by wire transfer of same day funds.

(iii) The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3(b) are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to make a payment due pursuant to this Section 8.3(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent or Merger Sub commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company, the Company shall pay to Parent and Merger Sub their reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount set forth in this Section 8.3(b) at the prime rate of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo and Company in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in any proceeding by Parent or Merger Sub alleging breach of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, the amount of any Company Termination Fee previously paid by Company shall be credited against any damages that the Parent or Merger Sub may be entitled to receive.

(iv) In no event shall more than one Company Termination Fee be payable hereunder.

(c) Parent Termination Fee. If this Agreement is terminated (i) pursuant to Section 8.1 (other than subsections 8.1(b), 8.1(d)(i), 8.1(d)(ii) in respect of Annex A condition (a) and/or (c)(i), (ii), (iii) and/or (iv), and 8.1(e)) and there then exists any Antitrust Action, any Antitrust Consent has not been obtained or any Antitrust Order has not been vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned or (ii) pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) or 8.1(d)(ii) in respect of Annex A condition (c)(i), (ii) or (iii) on account the existence of any Antitrust Action, the failure to obtain any Antitrust Consent or the failure to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any Antitrust Order, then Parent shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) days after the date of such termination, pay to the Company a fee equal (A) Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000) plus (B) all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket Company expenses relating hereto up to, but not exceeding, One and a Half Million Dollars ($1,500,000) in the aggregate ((A) and (B) collectively, the “Parent Termination Fee”), payable by wire transfer of same day funds. For the avoidance of doubt, any payment to be made by Parent under this Section 8.3(c) shall be payable only once to Company with respect to this Section 8.3(c) and not in duplication even though such payment may be payable under one or more provisions hereof. Provided that Parent and Merger Sub have complied in all material respects with their obligations under this Agreement and have taken all actions required to be taken by Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to Section 6.3,

the Company’s receipt of the Parent Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company (and any of its stockholders, partners, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, representatives or agents) in connection with this Section 8.3(c) whether at law or equity, in contract, tort or otherwise. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3(c) are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, Company would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Parent fails promptly to make a payment due pursuant to this Section 8.3(c), and, in order to obtain such payment, Company commences a suit that results in a judgment against Parent or Merger Sub, Parent shall pay to Company its reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount set forth in this Section 8.3(c) at the prime rate of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo and Company in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in any proceeding by the Company alleging breach of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement, the amount of any Parent Termination Fee previously paid by Parent shall be credited against any damages that the Company may be entitled to receive.

Section 8.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be modified or amended by the Parties hereto, by or pursuant to action taken by their respective boards of directors, in the case of Merger Sub or the Company, or Parent, at any time before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the Merger by the stockholders of the Company, but, after any such approval, no modification or amendment shall be made which by law requires further approval by such stockholders without such further approval; provided, however, that no modification or amendment of this Agreement or of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid or enforceable unless in writing duly executed by each of the Parties hereto.

Section 8.5 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parties hereto may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the other Parties’ representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the other Parties’ agreements or conditions contained herein which may legally be waived. Any agreement on the part of a Party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. No failure of any Party to exercise any power given such Party hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance by any party with its obligations hereunder, and no custom or practice of the parties in variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of that Party’s right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof. Any waiver shall not obligate that Party to agree to any further or subsequent waiver or affect the validity of the provision relating to any such waiver.

Section 9.3 Interpretation; Other Remedies. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents, captions and headings contained in this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall not be used to interpret or construe this Agreement. Any references in this Agreement to “herein,” “hereto,” “herewith” or “hereunder” shall be to this Agreement as a whole. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in

this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The Parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. 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.

Section 9.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties.

Section 9.5 Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and all exhibits and attachments hereto, including the Company Schedule of Exceptions, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Diligence Agreements (i) 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, it being understood that the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and (ii) are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, except (A) as specifically provided, following the Effective Time, in Sections 3.7, 3.8, 6.7 and 6.8 and (B) this Section 9.5 and Sections 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 shall inure to the benefit of the Debt Financing Sources all of whom are intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof (and those Sections shall not be amended or otherwise modified so as to adversely affect such Debt Financing Sources without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Sources).

Section 9.6 Assignment. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 9.6 shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 9.7 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 invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, 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 negotiate in good faith to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

Section 9.8 Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that (a) each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement

and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and this right shall include the right of the Company to cause Parent and Merger Sub to cause the Offer and the Merger to be consummated and (b) the parties shall waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at Law. Each Party further agrees that no Party nor any other person or entity shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 9.8, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

Section 9.9 Governing Law. 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 laws thereof.

Section 9.10 Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any legal action or Proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other Party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in any court within the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or Proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or Proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any claim that (A) the suit, action or Proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit, action or Proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Commitment Letter or the performance thereof against the Debt Financing Sources, in any forum other than the federal and New York State courts located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (and appellate courts thereof).

Section 9.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore it hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement and any of the agreements delivered by the Parties in connection herewith or the

Transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each Party certifies and acknowledges that (a) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce either of such waivers, (b) it understands and has considered the implications of such waivers, (c) it makes such waivers voluntarily, and (d) it has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 9.11.

Section 9.12 No Recourse to Debt Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company (on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries and any of their respective stockholders, partners, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) hereby waives any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, any Financing or the Commitment Letter, whether at Law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise and the Company (on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries and any of their respective stockholders, partners, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) agrees not to commence any action or proceeding against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Offer or the Merger (including any action or proceeding relating to any Financing or the Commitment Letter) and agrees to cause any such action or proceeding asserted by the Company (on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries and any of their respective stockholders, partners, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) in connection with this Agreement, the Offer or the Merger (including any action or proceeding relating to any Financing or the Commitment Letter) to be dismissed or otherwise terminated. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing waiver, it is acknowledged and agreed that no Debt Financing Source shall have any liability for any claims, losses, settlements, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses, fines or penalties to the Company or its Subsidiaries (or any of their respective stockholders, partners, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing in this Section 9.12 shall in any way expand or be deemed or construed to expand or limit the circumstances in which the Parent or Merger Sub may be liable under this Agreement (including as a result of the Financing).

ANNEX A

CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Offer, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall be required to accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC including Rule 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act, pay for any Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, and, subject to Section 2.1, may extend, terminate or amend the Offer in accordance with the Agreement if, the following conditions are not met:

(a) Accuracy of Representations and Warranties and Covenant Compliance

(i) The representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Agreement shall be true and correct at and as of the time Merger Sub accepts for purchase the Company Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer as if made at and as of such time (except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Company Material Adverse Effect; and

(ii) The Company shall have performed in all material respects all of its obligations required to be performed by it under the Agreement at or prior to the time Merger Sub accepts for purchase the Company Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer.

(b) Minimum Tender

There shall have been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Outside Date, a number of Company Shares which, together with any shares of Company Common Stock Parent or Merger Sub beneficially owns, will constitute at least a majority of the total number of outstanding Company Shares as of the date that Merger Sub accepts the Company Shares for purchase, assuming all vested options and other rights to purchase shares of Company Common Stock for the Per Share Amount or less have been exercised (the “Minimum Condition”).

(i) No temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order or decree issued by any court or agency of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the completion of the Offer or the Merger shall be in effect; provided, however, that in the event of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to extend the Offer until the earlier of the Outside Date or such time as such injunction is either lifted or finally determined to be permanent.

(ii) No statute, rule, regulation, order, injunction or decree shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced by any court, administrative agency or commission or other Governmental Entity that prohibits or makes illegal the completion of the Offer or the Merger;

(iii) There shall not be pending any suit, action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity: (A) seeking to prohibit the completion of the Offer; (B) seeking to prohibit the ownership or operation by the Company or Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any material business or assets of the Company or Parent; or (C) seeking to prohibit Parent from effectively controlling in any material respect the business or operations of the Company;

(iv) As of the date that Merger Sub is scheduled to accept the Company Shares for purchase (as extended by Merger Sub from time to time), there shall not be any continuing Company Material Adverse Effect; and

(v) The waiting periods applicable to the Merger under the HSR Act and other applicable Antitrust Laws shall have expired or been terminated, and all Antitrust Consents applicable to the Merger shall have been obtained.

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Merger Sub and Parent and may be asserted by Merger Sub or Parent regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such condition or may be waived by Merger Sub and Parent in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in their sole discretion; provided, however, that the Minimum Condition may not be waived and, provided further, that Merger Sub and Parent may not assert the conditions described above if the failure of Merger Sub or Parent to fulfill its obligations contained in this Agreement has been the cause of, resulted in, or contributed to the failure of any such condition to have been satisfied. The failure by Parent, Merger Sub or any other affiliate of Parent at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, the waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
