THE OFFER

Section 2.01. Conduct of the Offer.

(a) Merger Subsidiary shall commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days from the date of this Agreement); provided, however, that Merger Subsidiary shall not be required to commence the Offer if: (i) any of the conditions set forth in clauses (a), (b)(i), (b)(ii), (c)(i), (d), (e), (g), (h) and (i) of Exhibit B shall not be satisfied; or (ii) the Company shall not be prepared to file immediately with the SEC, and to disseminate to holders of shares of Company Common Stock, the Schedule 14D-9. (The date on which Merger Subsidiary commences the Offer, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Commencement Date”).

(b) The obligation of Merger Subsidiary to accept for payment, and pay for, shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to the satisfaction or (if permitted) waiver of: (i) the condition (the “Minimum Condition”) that there shall be validly tendered (and not withdrawn) a number of shares of Company Common Stock (excluding shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee) that, together with any shares of Company Common Stock owned by the Ultimate Parent, Parent or Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the

Acceptance Time, represents a majority of the Adjusted Outstanding Share Number; and (ii) the other conditions set forth in Exhibit B (the Minimum Condition and the other conditions set forth in Exhibit B are referred to collectively as the “Offer Conditions”). For purposes of this Agreement, the “Adjusted Outstanding Share Number” shall be the sum of: (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time; plus (B) an additional number of shares equal to the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, exchange or exercise, as applicable, of all Company Compensatory Awards, and any other options, warrants or other rights to acquire, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, Company Common Stock that, in each case, are outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time and are vested or otherwise exercisable, convertible or exchangeable at or immediately prior to the Acceptance Time, but excluding the Top-Up Option and excluding options, warrants and other rights and exercisable, convertible or exchangeable securities having an exercise price, conversion or exchange price greater than $68.00 per share of Company Common Stock.

(c) Merger Subsidiary expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion to: (i) increase the Offer Price; and (ii) waive any Offer Condition or make any other changes to the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company: (A) the Minimum Condition may not be amended or waived; and (B) no change may be made to the Offer that: (1) changes the form of consideration to be delivered by Merger Subsidiary pursuant to the Offer; (2) decreases the Offer Price or the number of shares of Company Common Stock sought to be purchased by Merger Subsidiary in the Offer; (3) imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions; or (4) except as provided in Section 2.01(d), extends the expiration date of the Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer and this Agreement, Merger Subsidiary shall: (x) accept for payment all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer (excluding shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee) as soon as practicable after Merger Subsidiary is permitted to do so under Applicable Law; and (y) pay the Offer Price in exchange for each share of Company Common Stock accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer.

(d) The Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire twenty (20) Business Days following the Offer Commencement Date (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act) (the “Initial Expiration Date,” and such date or such subsequent date to which the expiration of the Offer is extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the parties’ respective termination rights under Section 9.01: (i) if, as of the scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, Merger Subsidiary shall extend the Offer (A) on one or more occasions, for an additional period of up to twenty (20) Business Days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied until the earlier to occur of (x) the satisfaction or waiver of such Offer Conditions or (y) the End Date, and (B) from time to time for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer or any period required by Applicable Law, but in no event beyond the End Date; and (iii) Merger Subsidiary may, in its discretion (and without the consent of the Company or any other Person), elect to provide for a “subsequent offering period” (and one or more extensions thereof) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act.

(e) On the Offer Commencement Date, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall: (i) cause to be filed with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer, which will contain or incorporate by reference: (A) Merger Subsidiary’s offer to purchase shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer (the “Offer to Purchase”); and (B) forms of the related letter of transmittal and summary advertisement; (ii) cause the Offer to Purchase and related documents to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock as and to the extent required by the United States securities

laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder and Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall use reasonable efforts to cause such Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, and all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto (collectively, the “Offer Documents”), to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations thereunder; and (iii) cause the notice referred to in Section 3-106(d)(1) of the MGCL (the “Maryland Short Form Merger Notice”) to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock with the Offer Documents.

Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall promptly provide the Company and its legal counsel with a copy or a description of any comments received by Parent, Merger Subsidiary or their legal counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company: (1) shall use reasonable efforts to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents or the Offer; and (2) to the extent required by the applicable requirements of United States securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, shall use reasonable efforts to correct promptly any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents to the extent such information shall be or shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents, as supplemented or amended to correct such information, to be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by the United States securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Merger Subsidiary all information concerning the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and the Company’s stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 2.01(e).

Section 2.02. Company Actions.

(a) The Company hereby approves of and consents to the Offer and represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Subsidiary that the Company Board, at a meeting duly called and held, has by the unanimous vote of all directors of the Company: (i) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, are advisable and fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders; (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, in accordance with the requirements of the MGCL; (iii) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of the Company accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock to Merger Subsidiary pursuant to the Offer and (iv) to the extent required by the MGCL, approved and directed that the Merger be submitted for consideration at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders as contemplated hereby (the unanimous recommendation of the Company Board that the stockholders of the Company accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and, if applicable, approve the Merger, being referred to collectively as the “Board Recommendation”). Except to the extent expressly permitted by Section 7.03: (A) the Company Board (as it may be constituted on the date hereof) shall unanimously make the Board Recommendation; (B) the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) shall include the Board Recommendation; and (C) neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall fail to make, withdraw amend or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Subsidiary, the Board Recommendation. Subject to Section 7.03, the Company consents to the inclusion of the Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents.

(b) Contemporaneously with the filing by Parent and Merger Subsidiary of the Schedule TO, the Company shall file with the SEC and (contemporaneously with the dissemination of the Offer to Purchase and related documents) disseminate to holders of shares of Company Common Stock the

Schedule 14D-9 that shall reflect the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the information required by Section 2.02 and, subject only to Section 7.03, shall reflect the Board Recommendation. The Company shall ensure that the Schedule 14D-9 has been finalized and is ready for filing with the SEC no later than the date that is ten (10) Business Days from the date hereof. The Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 and the filing and dissemination thereof to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and with all other Applicable Law, and shall ensure that the Schedule 14D-9 includes: (i) the opinion of the financial advisor referred to in Section 5.28; and (ii) a fair summary of the financial analysis conducted by such financial advisor in accordance with all Applicable Law. Parent and its legal counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendment or supplement thereto) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and the Company shall not file or mail such document prior to receiving the approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company shall promptly provide Parent and its legal counsel with a copy and a description of any comments received by the Company or its legal counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, and the Company shall not respond to the SEC prior to receiving the approval of Parent, which approval shall not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in any discussions or meetings with the SEC. To the extent required by the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or by other Applicable Law: (A) each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to correct promptly any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 to the extent that such information shall be or shall have become false or misleading in any material respect; and (B) the Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as supplemented or amended to correct such information, to be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock. Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Offer that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 2.02(b).

(c) The Company shall promptly provide to Parent: (i) a list of the Company’s stockholders, non-objecting beneficial owners, mailing labels and any available listing or computer file containing the names and addresses of all record holders of shares of Company Common Stock and lists of securities positions of shares of Company Common Stock held in stock depositories, in each case accurate and complete as of the most recent practicable date; and (ii) such additional information (including updated lists of stockholders, non-objecting beneficial owners, mailing labels and lists of securities positions) and such other assistance as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the Offer or the Merger.

Section 2.03. Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Parent and Merger Subsidiary an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.03, to purchase from the Company the number of newly-issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Company Common Stock (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the lesser of: (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by Ultimate Parent, Parent and Merger Subsidiary at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes 90% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would be outstanding on a fully-diluted basis immediately after taking into account the issuance of all shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Top-Up Option; or (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue under its articles of incorporation but that are not issued and outstanding (and are not subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued or reserved for issuance) at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option.

(b) The Top-Up Option may be exercised by Parent or Merger Subsidiary, in whole or in part, at any time at or after the Acceptance Time. The aggregate purchase price payable for the shares of Company Common Stock being purchased by Parent or Merger Subsidiary pursuant to the Top-Up Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of such shares by the Offer Price. Such purchase price may be paid by Parent or Merger Subsidiary, at its election, either entirely in cash or by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to such purchase price, or by any combination of the foregoing. Any such promissory note shall bear interest at the rate of 3% per annum, shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of such promissory note and may be prepaid without premium or penalty.

(c) In the event Parent or Merger Subsidiary wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Parent or Merger Subsidiary shall deliver to the Company a notice setting forth: (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that Parent or Merger Subsidiary intends to purchase pursuant to the Top-Up Option; (ii) the manner in which Parent or Merger Subsidiary intends to pay the applicable exercise price; and (iii) the place and time at which the closing of the purchase of such shares of Company Common Stock by Parent or Merger Subsidiary is to take place. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, notify Merger Subsidiary of the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding, the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding on a fully-diluted basis and the number of Top-Up Shares. At the closing of the purchase of such shares of Company Common Stock, Parent or Merger Subsidiary shall cause to be delivered to the Company the consideration required to be delivered in exchange for such shares, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Parent or Merger Subsidiary (as the case may be) a certificate representing such shares. Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledge that the Company Shares which Merger Subsidiary may acquire upon exercise of the Top–Up Option will not be registered under the 1933 Act and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Parent and Merger Subsidiary represent and warrant to the Company that each of Parent or Merger Subsidiary is, or will be upon the purchase of the Top–Up Option Shares, an “accredited investor”, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the 1933 Act. Parent and Merger Subsidiary agree that the Top-Up Option and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Merger Subsidiary for its own account, for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).

Section 2.04. Directors.

(a) Effective upon the Acceptance Time and from time to time thereafter, Parent shall be entitled to designate, to serve on the Company Board, the number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, determined by multiplying: (i) the total number of directors on the Company Board (giving effect to any increase in the size of the Company Board effected pursuant to this Section 2.04(a)); by (ii) a fraction having a numerator equal to the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock then beneficially owned by Parent or Merger Subsidiary (including all shares of Company Common Stock accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer), and having a denominator equal to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock then issued and outstanding (provided that, in no event shall Parent’s director designees constitute less than a majority of the entire Company Board). The Company shall take all action necessary to cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board, including seeking and accepting resignations of incumbent directors and, if such resignations are not obtained, increasing the size of the Company Board. From and after the Acceptance Time, to the extent requested by Parent, the Company shall also use its best efforts to: (A) obtain and deliver to Parent the resignation of each individual who is an officer of any of the Company or its Subsidiaries; and (B) cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members, rounded up to the next whole number, on: (1) each committee of the Company Board; and (2) the board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company (and each committee thereof) that represents at least the same percentage as individuals designated by Parent represent on the Company Board.

(b) In connection with the performance of its obligations to cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board, the Company shall promptly take all actions, and shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors, as Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder require (subject to the Company’s receipt of the information with respect to Parent and its nominees, officers, directors and Affiliates required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder). The provisions of this Section 2.04 are in addition to, and shall not limit, any right that the Ultimate Parent, Merger Subsidiary, Parent or any Affiliate of Merger Subsidiary or Parent may have (with respect to the election of directors or otherwise) under Applicable Law as a holder or beneficial owner of shares of Company Common Stock.

(c) Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees to the Company Board pursuant to Section 2.04(a) and until the Effective Time, any amendment or 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 Subsidiary or waiver of any of the Company’s rights hereunder shall require the concurrence of a majority of the persons who were directors of the Company immediately prior to appointment of Parent’s designees.

Section 2.05. Short Form Merger. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, after the Acceptance Time and any exercise of the Top-Up Option, the shares of Company Common Stock owned by Merger Subsidiary represent at least ninety percent (90%) of the then-outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, the Company shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as Parent or Merger Subsidiary may reasonably request in order to cause the Merger to be completed as promptly as reasonably practicable as provided in Section 3-106 of the MGCL, and otherwise as provided in ARTICLE 3. Subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 2.02(c), the Maryland Short Form Merger Notice will be disseminated with the Offer Documents to holders of shares of Company Common Stock.

ARTICLE 3

The Closing shall be held at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

Section 3.02. The Merger.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, as soon as practicable after the Closing, the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall cause to be filed with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (the “Maryland Department”) articles of merger (the “Articles of

Merger”) in connection with the Merger in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the MGCL. To the extent determined by Parent to be necessary, the Articles of Merger shall address the matters described in ARTICLE 4.

(b) The Merger shall become effective on such date and at such time (the “Effective Time”) as the Articles of Merger have been accepted by the Maryland Department for record (or at such later time as may be agreed by the parties that is specified in the Articles of Merger in accordance with the MGCL).

(c) At the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the MGCL, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”). From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the assets, rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the debts and obligations of the Company and Merger Subsidiary, all as provided under the MGCL.

Section 3.03. Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof:

(a) except as otherwise provided in Section 3.03(b) or Section 3.03(c), each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash, without interest and subject to any required Tax withholding made pursuant to Section 3.08 (the “Merger Consideration”);

(b) each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by the Ultimate Parent, Parent or Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto;

(c) each share of Company Common Stock held by any Subsidiary of either the Company or the Ultimate Parent (other than Parent or Merger Subsidiary) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into such number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation such that each such Subsidiary owns the same percentage of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time as such Subsidiary owned in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(d) each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and, together with the shares described in Section 3.03(c), shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 3.04. Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) and (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock (the “Uncertificated Shares”). As of the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares (the “Payment Fund”). Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Uncertificated Share, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration. No interest shall be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender or transfer of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Uncertificated Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this ARTICLE 3.

(e) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.04 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock two (2) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 3.05. No Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights (or rights of an objecting stockholder (under Section 3-201 et seq. of the MGCL or otherwise) shall be available with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 3.06. Company Stock Options

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, the unvested portion of each Company Stock Option (each such Company Stock Option, a “Company Compensatory Award”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by a Person who is an employee of, or a consultant to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be assumed by the Ultimate Parent and converted automatically at the Effective Time into an option denominated in shares of Ultimate Parent Stock and subject to terms and conditions substantially identical to those in effect at the Effective Time (each such assumed unvested portion of a Company Compensatory Award, an “Assumed Company Award”), except that (i) the number of shares of Ultimate Parent Stock that will be subject to each such Assumed Company Award shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Company Award by a fraction (the “Award Exchange Ratio”), the numerator of which is the per share Merger Consideration and the denominator of which is the average closing price of Ultimate Parent Stock on NYSE over the five (5) trading days immediately preceding (but not including) the date on which the Effective Time occurs (rounded down to the nearest whole share) and (ii) the exercise or purchase price per share of each such Assumed Company Award shall equal (x) the per share exercise or purchase price of each such Assumed Company Award divided by (y) the Award Exchange Ratio (rounded upwards to the nearest whole cent); provided, however, that in no case shall the assumption of the unvested portion of a Company Stock Option be performed in a manner that is not in material compliance with the requirements of Sections 409A or 424(a) of the Code. At the Effective Time, each Company Stock Plan pursuant to which any Assumed Company Award has been granted shall be assumed by the Ultimate Parent.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the vested portion (including any portion that pursuant to its terms becomes vested solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) of each outstanding Company Compensatory Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the vested and unvested portion of each outstanding Company Compensatory Award that is held by a Person who is not an employee of, or a consultant to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (each such award, or vested portion thereof, as the case may be, a “Cashed Out Compensatory Award”) shall not be assumed by the Ultimate Parent pursuant to this Section 3.06 and shall, immediately prior to the Effective Time, be cancelled and extinguished and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such Cashed Out Compensatory Award shall have the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Cashed Out Compensatory Award immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Merger Consideration less any per share exercise or purchase price of such Cashed Out Compensatory Award immediately prior to such cancellation (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Compensatory Award Payments”). From and after the Effective Time, any such Cashed Out Compensatory Award shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Compensatory Award Payment, if any. The Compensatory Award Payments shall be paid as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, without interest.

The Ultimate Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the shares of Ultimate Parent Stock issuable upon exercise of the Assumed Company Awards promptly following the Effective Time (and in no event later than ninety (90) Business Days after the Effective Time) and the Ultimate Parent shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such Assumed Company Awards remain outstanding.

Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any applicable Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and are paid to the relevant Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 3.09. Lost 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 required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated under this ARTICLE 3.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except (a) as disclosed in the Company SEC Documents (other than as set forth in the forward-looking statements or as set forth in the risk factors contained therein) filed or furnished on or after August 26, 2011 and prior to the date of this Agreement or (b) as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Subsidiary prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”), which identifies items of disclosure by reference to a particular Section or subsection of this Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Subsidiary as follows:

Section 5.01. Corporate Existence and Power.

(a) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland and has all corporate powers required to carry on its business as now conducted. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has heretofore delivered to Parent complete and correct copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company as currently in effect.

(b) The Company has heretofore made available to Parent complete and correct copies of the minutes (or, in the case of draft minutes, the most recent drafts thereof) of all meetings of the stockholders of the Company, the Company Board and each committee of the Company Board and the Boards of Directors (or similar governing bodies) and each committee thereof of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries held since January 1, 2010; provided that, with respect to meetings for which draft or final minutes are not yet available, the Company has provided to Parent a materially complete and correct summary thereof.

Section 5.02. Corporate Authorization.

(a) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement, the Offer or the Merger or to consummate the other transactions contemplated hereby, subject, with respect to the Merger, to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval if required by Applicable Law. The Company Stockholder Approval (if required by the MGCL) is the only vote of the holders of any of the Company’s capital stock necessary in connection with the consummation of the Merger. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by Parent, Ultimate Parent and Merger Subsidiary, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding

agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar Applicable Law affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

(b) At a meeting duly called and held, prior to the execution of this Agreement, at which all directors of the Company were present and voting in favor, the Company Board duly adopted resolutions (i) declaring that this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders, (ii) approving this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) taking all actions necessary so that the restrictions on business combinations and stockholder vote requirements contained in the Maryland Business Combination Act and the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act will not apply with respect to or as a result of the Merger, this Agreement, the Tender and Support Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and (iv) making the Board Recommendation; and such board resolutions have not been rescinded, modified or withdrawn in any way.

(c) Assuming accuracy of the representations and warranties of Parent in Section 6.07, no party to this Agreement is an “interested stockholder” of the Company as defined in Section 3-601 of the MGCL. No provision of the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws requires a vote of the stockholders of the Company to approve the Offer.

Section 5.03. Governmental Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority, other than (i) the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Maryland Department and appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other jurisdictions in which the Company is qualified to do business, (ii) compliance with any applicable requirements of (A) the HSR Act and (B) any Applicable Law analogous to the HSR Act or otherwise regulating antitrust or merger control matters and in each case existing in foreign jurisdictions (“Foreign Competition Laws”), (iii) compliance with any applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other applicable U.S. state or federal or foreign securities laws, or Nasdaq, and (iv) any actions or filings the absence of which would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.04. Non-contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, the purchase of the shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer and the consummation by the Company of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both): (i) contravene, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of any provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (ii) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 5.03, contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any provision of any Applicable Law or Order, (iii) require any consent or approval under, violate, conflict with, result in any breach of or any loss of any benefit under, or constitute a change of control or default under, or result in termination or give to others any right of termination, vesting, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any Contract to which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a party, or by which they or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound or affected or any Governmental Authorization affecting, or relating in any way to, the property, assets or business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, with such exceptions, in the case of each of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, provided that in determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect would result, any adverse effect otherwise excluded by clause (A) of the definition of Company Material Adverse Effect shall be taken into account.

The benefits available under all International Plans in the aggregate do not provide materially greater benefits to employees of the Company participating in such plans than the benefits available under the Company Employee Plans for employees of the Company in the United States. No International Plan has unfunded liabilities that will not be offset by insurance or that are not fully accrued on the financial statements of the Company.

Section 7.02. Preparation of the Proxy Statement; Stockholders Meeting.

(a) If, after the Acceptance Time, the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock at a meeting of the holders of Company Common Stock is required under the MGCL in order to consummate the Merger (the “Company Stockholder Approval”), then:

(i) As promptly as practicable after the later of the Acceptance Time or the expiration of any subsequent offering period provided in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the SEC the Proxy Statement to be sent to the stockholders of the Company relating to the Company Stockholders Meeting. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to clear the Proxy Statement as promptly as practicable after such filing (including by responding to comments of the SEC). Parent shall furnish all information as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with any such action and the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement.

(ii) As promptly as practicable after the clearance of the Proxy Statement by the SEC, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company without providing Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon.

(iii) The Company shall notify Parent promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and shall supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) If, after the Acceptance Time, the Company Stockholder Approval is required under the MGCL in order to consummate the Merger, then:

(i) As soon as practicable following the clearance of the Proxy Statement by the SEC, the Company shall duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) for the purpose of seeking the Company Stockholder Approval.

(ii) Unless the Company has effected an Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall, through the Company Board, make the Board Recommendation to the extent related to the Merger, and shall include such Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, and use its reasonable best efforts to (x) solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, and (y) take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the Company Stockholder Approval.

(c) If, after the Acceptance Time, the Company Stockholder Approval is required under the MGCL in order to consummate the Merger, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve the Company of its obligation to submit the Merger to its stockholders for a vote on the approval thereof. The Company agrees that, unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with ARTICLE 9, its obligations to hold the Company Stockholder Meeting after the Acceptance Time pursuant to this Section 7.02(c) shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Superior Proposal or by any Adverse Recommendation Change.

Section 7.03. No Solicitation.

(a) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries authorize or permit any of its or their Representatives to, and the Company shall instruct, and cause each applicable Subsidiary to instruct, each such Representative not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage the submission of any Acquisition

Proposal or the making of any inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, or, subject to Section 7.03(b), (i) conduct or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, disclose any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to or otherwise cooperate in any way, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by, any Third Party that is seeking to make, or has made, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) (A) amend or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) approve any transaction under, or any Third Party becoming an “interested stockholder” under, the Maryland Business Combination Act, (iii) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract relating to any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement contemplated by Section 7.03(b)) or enter into any agreement or agreement in principle requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or breach its obligations hereunder, or (iv) resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any Subsidiary of the Company or Representatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.03 by the Company. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to cease immediately and cause to be terminated, and shall not authorize or knowingly permit any of its or their Representatives to continue, any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such Third Party (or its agents or advisors) in possession of non-public information in respect of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that was furnished by or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries to return or destroy (and confirm destruction of) all such information.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 7.03(a) or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board, directly or indirectly through any Representative, may (i) engage in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party that has made (and not withdrawn) a bona fide unsolicited Acquisition Proposal in writing after the date of this Agreement, that did not result from or arise out of a breach of this Section 7.03, and that the Company Board believes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and (ii) thereafter furnish to such Third Party non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and containing additional provisions that expressly permit the Company to comply with the terms of this Section 7.03 (a copy of which confidentiality agreement shall be promptly and in any event with 24 hours provided for informational purposes only to Parent), but in each case under the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), only if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel to the Company Board, that the failure to take such action would be a breach of its duties under Applicable Law.

(c) The Company Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 7.03(b) unless the Company shall have notified Parent in writing at least twenty-four (24) hours before taking such action that it intends to take such action (it being understood that (i) the Company shall only be required to provide the notice required by this sentence to Parent on one occasion with respect to any particular Third Party and (ii) this parenthetical shall have no impact on the notification and other obligations of the Company contained in the remainder of this Section 7.03(c)). The Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after it obtains knowledge of the receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal, any inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business,

properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party, in each case in connection with any Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. In such notice, the Company shall identify the Third Party making, and the material terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal, indication, offer, proposal or request. Commencing upon the provision of any notice referred to above, the Company shall (A) on a reasonable and prompt basis at a mutually agreeable time, advise Parent (or its counsel) of the progress of negotiations concerning any Acquisition Proposal, the material resolved and unresolved issues related thereto and any other material matters identified with reasonable specificity by Parent (or its counsel) and the material details (including material amendments or proposed amendments as to price and other material terms) of any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and (B) promptly upon receipt or delivery thereof, provide Parent (or its outside counsel) with copies of all material documents and material written or electronic communications relating to any such Acquisition Proposal (including the financing thereof), request or inquiry exchanged between the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or Representatives, on the one hand, and the Person making an Acquisition Proposal or any of its Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, employees, or Representatives, on the other hand. The Company shall promptly provide Parent with any non-public information concerning the business, present or future performance, financial condition or results of operations of the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries), provided to any Third Party that was not previously provided to Parent. The Company shall provide Parent with at least 48 hours’ prior notice (or such lesser period of prior notice provided to the members of the Company Board) of any meeting of the Company Board at which the Company Board is reasonably expected to consider any Acquisition Proposal.

(d) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) fail to make, withdraw, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Subsidiary, the Board Recommendation, (ii) approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal, (iii) fail to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer (other than the Offer or any other tender offer or exchange offer by Parent or Merger Subsidiary) for Company Common Stock within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such offer, (iv) make any public statement inconsistent with the Board Recommendation, or (v) resolve or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (any of the foregoing, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board, following receipt of and on account of a Superior Proposal, may (i) make an Adverse Recommendation Change, or (ii) terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal in accordance with the terms of Section 9.01(d)(i), but only if, in either case, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel to the Company Board, that the failure to take such action would be a breach of its duties under Applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company Board shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01(d)(i), unless (A) the Company promptly notifies Parent (the “Adverse Recommendation Change Notice”), in writing at least four (4) Business Days before making an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement (the “Notice Period”), of its intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Proposal, (B) the Company attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement or a reasonably detailed summary of all material terms of any such Superior Proposal (which version or summary shall be updated on a prompt basis) and the identity of the Third Party making the Superior Proposal, (C) the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, if Parent, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being understood and agreed (x) that in the event that, after commencement of the Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior

Proposal, including, any revision in price, the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least three (3) Business Days remains in the Notice Period subsequent to the time the Company notifies Parent of any such material revision and (y) that there may be multiple extensions of the Notice Period); and (D) Parent does not make, within the Notice Period, an offer that is determined by the Company Board in good faith, after consulting with its outside counsel and financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, to be at least as favorable to the stockholders of the Company as such Superior Proposal.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company Board may, in response to a material fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances (other than an Acquisition Proposal occurring or arising after the date of this Agreement) that was not known to the Company Board nor reasonably foreseeable by the Company Board as of or prior to the date of this Agreement (and not relating in any way to any Acquisition Proposal) (such material fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances, an “Intervening Event”), withdraw or modify, or fail to make, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Subsidiary, the Board Recommendation (which shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change) if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel to the Company Board, that, in light of such Intervening Event, the failure of the Company Board to effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change would be in breach of its duties under Applicable Law; provided that no fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances shall constitute an Intervening Event if such fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances resulted from or arose out of the announcement, pendency or consummation of the Offer or the Merger; and provided, further, that the Company Board shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this clause (e) unless the Company Board has (A) provided to Parent at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the facts underlying the Company Board’s determination that an Intervening Event has occurred, and the reasons for the Adverse Recommendation Change, in reasonable detail, and (B) during such four (4) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for an Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of the Intervening Event.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 7.03 shall prevent the Company Board from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly publicly reaffirms the Board Recommendation (i) in such communication or (ii) within two (2) Business Days after requested to do so by Parent.

Section 7.04. Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Effective Time, the Company shall (i) give to Parent and its Representatives reasonable access to the offices, properties, books, records, Contracts, Governmental Authorizations, documents, directors, officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries during normal business hours, (ii) furnish to Parent and its Representatives such financial, Tax and operating data and other information as such Persons may reasonably request (including the work papers of PricewaterhouseCoopers upon receipt of any required consent from PricewaterhouseCoopers), and (iii) instruct its Representatives to cooperate with Parent and its Representatives in its investigation; provided, however, that the Company may restrict the foregoing access to the extent that (A) any Applicable Law requires the Company to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information or (B) such disclosure would, based on the advice of such party’s counsel, result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege applicable to such information, or (C) the disclosure of such information would violate confidentiality obligations owed to a third party and such confidentiality obligations were in effect prior

to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, provided, however, that with respect to clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 7.04, the Company shall use its best efforts to develop an alternative method for providing such information to Parent. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company.

Section 7.05. Notice of Certain Events.

(a) In connection with the continuing operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, subject to Applicable Law, the Executive Officers of the Company, including but not limited to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, shall consult in good faith on a regular basis with Parent to report material (individually or in the aggregate) operational developments, the status of relationships with customers, resellers, partners, suppliers, licensors, licensees, distributors and others having material business relationships with the Company, the status of ongoing operations and other matters reasonably requested by Parent pursuant to procedures reasonably requested by Parent; provided that no such consultation shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations of the parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall promptly notify Parent of:

(ii) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) any Proceeding commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Sections 5.12, 5.13, 5.15 or Section 5.16, as the case may be, or that relate to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iv) any written notice or other written communication (or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other notice or communication) from any Major Customer or Major Supplier that such Major Customer or Major Supplier is terminating its relationship with Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(v) any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or breach of covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement at any time during the term hereof that would reasonably be expected to cause the conditions set forth in Exhibit B not to be satisfied.

Section 7.06. 401(k) Plans. Effective as of the day immediately preceding the Acceptance Time, unless otherwise directed in writing by Parent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company and each Subsidiary thereof shall take all actions necessary to effect the termination of any and all Company Employee Plans intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code, and effective as of the day immediately preceding the Acceptance Time, no Company employee shall have any right thereafter to contribute any amounts to any Company Employee Plan intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code. The Company shall provide Parent with evidence that each such Company Employee Plan has been terminated pursuant to an action by the Company Board or the board of directors of a Subsidiary, as applicable.

Section 7.07. State Takeover Laws. If any “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium” or other anti-takeover Applicable Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Merger, the Tender and Support Agreements or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then each of the Company, Parent, Merger Subsidiary, and their respective Board of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such anti-takeover Applicable Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

Section 7.08. Obligations of Merger Subsidiary. Parent shall cause Merger Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.09. Director and Officer Liability.

(a) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such person currently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 7.09(a), neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 200% of the amount per annum the Company paid for its officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy (the “Current Premium”) as described and set forth in Section 7.09(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed 200% of the Current Premium, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that, in the Surviving Corporation’s judgment, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 200% of the Current Premium. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time (and which the Company may obtain prior to the Effective Time notwithstanding any restrictions otherwise set forth in this Agreement other than the restrictions set forth in the proviso at the end of this sentence), which policies provide such directors and officers with coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including, in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company shall pay more than 200% of the Current Premium for such prepaid policies without the prior written consent of Parent. If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such policies in full force and effect for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(b) From and after the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will, and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to: (i) each indemnification agreement set forth on Section 7.09(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”); and (ii) any indemnification provision and any exculpation provision set forth in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided that such obligations shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under Applicable Law. If, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any

Indemnified Party delivers to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as applicable, a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under any of the provisions set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above, then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such claim is fully and finally resolved.

(c) If Parent, 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 such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.09.

(d) The obligations under this Section 7.09 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party without the written consent of such Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.09 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall use their 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 under Applicable Law, Contracts and otherwise to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, authorizations, approvals, and expirations of all applicable waiting periods from Governmental Authorities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval, consent, authorization, expiration of all applicable waiting periods or waiver from, or to avoid an action or other Proceeding by, any Governmental Authorities, (ii) the delivery of required notices to, and the obtaining of required consents or waivers from, Third Parties and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 7.10, each of Parent and the Company shall (i) provide or cause to be provided as promptly as practicable to Governmental Authorities with regulatory jurisdiction over enforcement of any Antitrust Laws (each such Governmental Authority, a “Governmental Antitrust Authority”) information and documents requested by any Governmental Antitrust Authority or necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including preparing and filing any notification and report form and related material required under the HSR Act or under any Foreign Competition Laws and any additional consents and filings under any Foreign Competition Laws, including for these purposes, the submission of a draft of the Form CO pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 and the Implementation Regulation (EU) No 1269/2013, as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement (but in no event more than eleven (11) Business Days from the date hereof except by mutual consent confirmed in writing) and thereafter to respond as promptly as practicable to any request for additional information or documentary material that may be made under the HSR Act and any additional consents and filings under any Antitrust Laws; and (ii) use their reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary or advisable to obtain prompt approval of consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any Governmental Authority.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with the receipt of any necessary governmental approvals or clearances (including under any Antitrust Law), nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent or any of its Affiliates to, nor shall the Company or any of its Affiliates without the prior written consent of Parent agree or proffer to, divest, hold separate, or enter into any license or similar agreement with respect to, or agree to restrict the ownership or operation of, or agree to conduct or operate in a specified manner, any portion of the business or assets of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Parent or any of its Affiliates be obligated to litigate or participate in the litigation of any Proceeding, whether judicial or administrative, brought by any Governmental Authority or appeal any Order (i) challenging or seeking to make illegal, delay materially or otherwise directly or indirectly restrain or prohibit the Offer or the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or seeking to obtain from Parent or any of its Affiliates any damages in connection therewith, or (ii) seeking to prohibit or limit in any respect, or place any conditions on, the ownership or operation by the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates of all or any portion of the business, assets or any product of the Company or any of its Affiliates or Parent or any of its Affiliates or to require any such Person to dispose of, license (whether pursuant to an exclusive or nonexclusive license) or enter into a consent decree or hold separate all or any portion of the business, assets or any product of the Company or any of its Affiliates or Parent or any of its Affiliates, in each case as a result of or in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense of any Proceeding against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will obtain the prior written consent of Parent prior to settling or satisfying any such Proceeding.

(d) Subject to Applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, the Company and Parent and their respective counsel shall (i) have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each shall consult the other on, any filing made with, or written materials to be submitted to, any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) promptly inform each other of any substantive communication (or other correspondence or memoranda) received from, or given to, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or any other Governmental Antitrust Authority and (iii) promptly furnish each other with copies of all correspondence, filings and written communications between them or their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or its respective staff, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall, to the extent practicable, provide the other party and its counsel with advance notice of and the opportunity to participate in any discussion, telephone call or meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to participate in the preparation for such discussion, telephone call or meeting. Neither Parent nor the Company shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Authority to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or applicable Foreign Competition Laws, without the prior written consent of the other. The Company and Parent may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 7.10(d) as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material,” which will limit access to such material to the other party’s outside or internal antitrust counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.10(d), materials provided to the other party or its counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(e) Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary agrees that, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall not, and shall ensure that none of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates shall, take any action or propose, announce an intention or agree, in writing or otherwise, to take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(f) The Company has provided Parent with all information requested by Parent to evaluate which Governmental Authorities shall require Antitrust Filings. Set forth on Section 7.10(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule is (i) a list of each country in which the Company and any of its Subsidiaries generated sales in the last completed fiscal year, and the total sales the Company and any of its Subsidiaries generated in each such country in the last completed fiscal year; and (ii) a schedule of each country in which the Company maintains one or more Subsidiaries, offices, or personnel.

Section 7.11. Certain Filings. The Company and Parent shall cooperate with one another (i) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any Material Contracts, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) in taking such reasonable actions or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith or with the Offer Documents and seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers.

Section 7.12. Public Announcements. Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any other public statement, or scheduling a press conference or conference call with investors or analysts, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such other public statement without the consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except (i) as such release or announcement may be required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association upon which the securities of the Company or Parent, as applicable, are listed, or (ii) as such release or announcement may be made with respect to an Adverse Recommendation Change effected in accordance with Section 7.03, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall consult with the other party about, and allow the other party reasonable time (taking into account the circumstances) to comment on, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, and the party will consider such comments in good faith.

Section 7.13. Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Subsidiary, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Subsidiary, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Section 7.14. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may approve, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and in accordance with the Interpretative Letter dated January 12, 1999 issued by the SEC relating to Rule 16b-3, any dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities with respect to equity securities of the Company) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each officer or director of the Company who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to equity securities of the Company.

Section 7.15. Rule 14d-10 Matters. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company (acting through the Company Board and its compensation committee) shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 14d–10(d) promulgated under the Exchange Act any employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement entered into on or after the

date hereof by the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates with current or future directors, officers or employees of the Company and its Affiliates and to ensure that any such arrangements fall within the safe harbor provisions of such Rule.

Section 7.16. Delisting. The Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under Applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of Nasdaq) to enable the de-listing by the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Stock from Nasdaq and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

Section 7.17. Confidentiality. Parent and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree to continue to be bound by the Confidential Disclosure Agreement dated as of April 12, 2014 by and between the Ultimate Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Section 7.18. Employee Matters.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, with respect to employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately before the Effective Time who continue employment with the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”), Parent shall use reasonable efforts to cause the service of each such Continuing Employee with the Company and its ERISA Affiliates prior to the Closing Date to be recognized for purposes of eligibility to participate, levels of benefits (but not for benefit accruals under any defined benefit or other pension or retirement plan) and vesting under each compensation, vacation, fringe or other welfare benefit plan, program or arrangement of Parent, Ultimate Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their ERISA Affiliates, but not including any sabbatical or equity compensation plans, programs, agreements or arrangements (collectively, the “Parent Benefit Plans”) in which any Continuing Employee is or becomes eligible to participate, but solely to the extent service was credited to such employee for such purposes under a comparable Company Employee Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date and to the extent such credit would not result in a duplication of benefits.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, with respect to each Parent Benefit Plan that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) in which any Continuing Employee is or becomes eligible to participate, Parent shall use reasonable efforts to cause each such Parent Benefit Plan to (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable under such Parent Benefit Plan for such Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents to the same extent that such pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions would not have applied or would have been waived under the corresponding Company Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee was a participant immediately prior to such Continuing Employee’s commencement of participation in such Parent Benefit Plan but, with respect to long-term disability and life insurance benefits and coverage, solely to the extent permitted under the terms and conditions of Parent’s applicable insurance contracts in effect as of the Closing Date; provided, that for purposes of clarity, to the extent such benefit coverage includes eligibility conditions based on periods of employment, Section 7.18(a) shall control; and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in the calendar year that, and prior to the date that, such Continuing Employee commences participation in such Parent Benefit Plan in satisfying any applicable co-payment or deductible requirements under such Parent Benefit Plan for the applicable calendar year, to the extent that such expenses were recognized for such purposes under the comparable Company Employee Plan.

(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 7.18 are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement and shall not create any right in any other Person, including any employees, former employees, any participant in any Company Employee Plan or any beneficiary thereof, of any right to continued employment with Parent, Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 7.18 shall be deemed to amend any Parent Benefit Plan or to require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to continue or amend any particular benefit plan before or after the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and Applicable Law.

(iii) the Offer shall have expired (without having been extended) or shall have been terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including Exhibit B) without Merger Subsidiary having accepted shares of Company Common Stock for payment pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that: (A) a party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(iii) if: (1) the failure of Merger Subsidiary to accept shares of Company Common Stock for payment pursuant to the Offer is attributable to the failure of an Offer Condition to be satisfied; and (2) the failure of such Offer Condition to be satisfied is attributable to a failure, on the part of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement, to perform any covenant in this Agreement required to be performed by such party at or prior to the Acceptance Time; and (B) the Company shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(iii) unless the Company shall have made any payment required to be made to Parent pursuant to Section 10.04;

(i) if an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred (it being understood that the receipt by Parent of an Adverse Recommendation Change Notice shall not, in and of itself, entitle Parent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(c)(i));

(v) in the event (A) of a material breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in clause (c) of Exhibit B would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or (B) that any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have been inaccurate when made or shall have become inaccurate, such that the condition set forth in clause (b) of Exhibit B would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation and warranty became inaccurate; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that such breach by the Company or such inaccuracies in the

representations and warranties of the Company are curable by the Company through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts prior to the End Date and within thirty (30) days, then Parent shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(c)(v) until the earlier to occur of (1) the expiration of a thirty (30) calendar day period after delivery of written notice from Parent to the Company of such breach or inaccuracy, as applicable, or (2) the ceasing by the Company to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach or inaccuracy, provided that the Company continues to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach or inaccuracy (it being understood that Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(c)(v) if such breach or inaccuracy by the Company is cured within such thirty (30) calendar day period); or

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

Section 10.04. Expenses.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall pay all filing fees payable pursuant to the HSR Act or any Foreign Competition Laws; provided that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01 (other than pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(ii)), the Company shall promptly thereafter reimburse Parent for one-half of all such filing fees paid by Parent.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01(c)(i), Section 9.01(c)(ii), Section 9.01(c)(iii) or Section 9.01(c)(iv) (or if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any other provision of Section 9.01 (except for Section 9.01(a) at any time after the occurrence of an event contemplated by any of Section 9.01(c)(i), Section 9.01(c)(ii) Section 9.01(c)(iii) or Section 9.01(c)(iv)), then the Company shall pay to Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), within two (2) Business Days after such termination, a fee in an amount equal to $157,780,000 (the “Termination Fee”). If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(i), then the Company shall pay to Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), concurrently with and as a condition of such termination, the Termination Fee.

(c) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(i) or Section 9.01(b)(iii) and, (i) prior to such termination, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced and not publicly withdrawn, and (ii) within twelve (12) months following the date of such termination the Company shall have (A) entered into a definitive agreement with respect to, (B) recommended to its stockholders or (C) consummated, a transaction contemplated by any Acquisition Proposal (with all references to 15% in the definition of Acquisition Proposal being treated as 50% for purposes of this clause (ii)), then the Company shall pay to Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), within two (2) Business Days after entering into such definitive agreement, making such recommendation or consummating such transaction, the Termination Fee.

(d) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(i) or Section 9.01(b)(iii), the Company shall as promptly as possible (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) following receipt of an invoice therefor pay all of the documented reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable legal and other third party advisors fees and expenses) actually incurred by Parent and its Affiliates on or prior to the termination of this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but in no event more than $5,000,000 (the “Parent Expenses”) as directed by Parent in writing; provided that the amount of any payment of Parent Expenses pursuant to this Section 10.04(d) shall be credited against any obligation of the Company to pay the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 10.04(c).

(e) The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 10.04 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, Parent and Merger Subsidiary would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay any amount due to Parent pursuant to this Section 10.04, when due, the Company shall pay the costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) in connection with any action taken to collect payment (including the prosecution of any lawsuit or other legal action), together with interest on the unpaid amount at the publicly announced prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in New York City from the date such amount was first payable to the date it is paid.

(f) Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Termination Fee contemplated by this Section 10.04 shall be payable by the Company on only one occasion, whether or not the facts or circumstances giving rise to the Company’s obligation to pay the Termination Fee may otherwise trigger an obligation to pay the Termination Fee under more than one subsection of this Section 10.04 or on more than one occasion pursuant to the same subsection of this Section 10.04 (it being understood, however, that this Section 10.04(f) shall not be interpreted to limit or restrict Parent’s ability to seek or obtain any other remedy it may have with respect to this Agreement).

Section 10.05. Binding Effect; No Third Party Beneficiaries; No Assignment.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and, except as provided in Section 7.09, (which shall be to the benefit of the parties referred to in such section), shall inure only to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided in Section 7.09, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to create any third party beneficiaries.

(b) No party hereto may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the consent of each other party hereto, except that Parent or Merger Subsidiary may, from time to time, transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to one or more of their Affiliates or Affiliates of Ultimate Parent at any time without the consent of the Company; provided that in the event of such transfer or assignment, Parent or Merger Subsidiary, as applicable, shall guarantee the performance of such obligations of such Affiliates hereunder.
