THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 27, 2011, by and among: EBAY INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”); GIBRALTAR ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”); and GSI COMMERCE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

Recitals

A. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub into the Company (the “Merger”) in accordance with this Agreement and the DGCL. Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

B. The board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has formed a special committee of the Company Board (the “Special Committee”) for the purpose of, among other things, evaluating and making a recommendation to the Company Board with respect to what actions should be taken regarding any business combination, including with respect to this Agreement and the Merger.

C. The Company Board has, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, unanimously: (a) approved this Agreement and the Merger; (b) determined that the Merger is fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders; (c) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Merger; and (d) resolved to recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “unanimous” shall refer to the vote of all members of the Company Board, with the exception of the two directors who have recused themselves from voting on the Merger;

D. The respective boards of directors of Parent and Merger Sub have approved this Agreement and the Merger.

E. In order to induce Parent to enter into this Agreement and cause the Merger to be consummated, certain stockholders of the Company are executing voting and support agreements in favor of Parent concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Support Agreements”).

Agreement

The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Section 1. Description of Transaction

1.1. Merger of Merger Sub into the Company. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.3), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease. The Company will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).

1.2. Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

1.3. Closing; Effective Time. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, at 8:00 a.m. (California time) on a date to be designated by Parent, which shall be no later than the fifth business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 (other than the conditions set forth in Sections 6.4 and 7.3, which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of such conditions). The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.” Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, a certificate of merger satisfying the applicable requirements of the DGCL shall be duly executed by the Company in connection with the Closing and, concurrently with or as soon as practicable following the Closing, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall become effective at the time of the filing of such certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be specified in such certificate of merger with the consent of Parent (the time as of which the Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “Effective Time”).

1.4. Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time:

(a) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended in its entirety pursuant to the Merger at the Effective Time or immediately thereafter to conform to the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “GSI COMMERCE, INC.”;

(b) the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated at the Effective Time or immediately thereafter to conform to the Bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(c) the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time shall be the respective individuals who are directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time.

1.5. Conversion of Shares.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any stockholder of the Company:

(i) any shares of Company Common Stock held by the Company or any wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury) (together with any associated Rights, as defined in Section 2.3(c)) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) any shares of Company Common Stock held by Parent, Merger Sub or any other wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time (together with any associated Rights) shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) except as provided in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” of this Section 1.5(a) and subject to Sections 1.5(b), 1.5(c), 1.7 and 1.8, each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (together with any associated Rights) shall be converted into the right to receive $29.25 in cash (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), without interest; and

(iv) each share of the common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) If, during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending at the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or if a stock dividend is declared by the Company during such period, or a record date with respect to any such event shall occur during such period, then the consideration to be delivered in respect of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(iii) shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate.

(c) If any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other Contract with the Company or under which the Company has any rights, then (except to the extent provided in any binding agreement between the Company and the holder thereof and except to the extent Parent otherwise elects), the Merger Consideration delivered in exchange for such shares of Company Common Stock will also be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition and need not be paid until such time as such repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition lapses or otherwise terminates (whether under the Company award agreement or Company Employee Agreement). The Company shall take all action that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Parent is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other Contract.

1.6. Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and all holders of certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company; and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Paying Agent (as defined in Section 1.7) or to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 1.7.

1.7. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall select a reputable bank or trust company to act as paying agent in the Merger (the “Paying Agent”). Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to make payments of the cash consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.5 (the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Payment Agent as directed by Parent.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent will mail to the Persons who were record holders of Company Stock Certificates immediately prior to the Effective Time: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of Company Stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Company Stock Certificates to the Paying Agent or, in the case of Book Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates and Book Entry Shares in exchange for Merger Consideration. Exchange of any Book Entry Shares shall be effected in accordance with the Paying Agent’s customary procedures with respect to securities represented by book entry. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share to the Paying Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Paying Agent or Parent: (A) the holder of such Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the cash consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5, in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Company Stock Certificate; and (B) the Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share so surrendered shall be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock which are not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of Merger Consideration may be made to a Person other than the holder in whose name the Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share formerly representing such shares is registered if (1) any such Company Stock Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (2) such holder shall have paid any fiduciary or surety bonds and any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of such Merger Consideration to a Person other than such holder (or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such bonds and Taxes have been paid or are not applicable). Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.7(b), each Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 1.5. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent or the Paying Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Parent or the Paying Agent may direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Paying Agent, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Company Stock Certificate. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.7.

(c) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Company Stock Certificates as of the date that is 180 days after the date on which the Merger becomes effective shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares in accordance with this Section 1.7 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for Merger Consideration.

(d) Each of the Paying Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock or a Company Equity Award such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(e) If any Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share has not been surrendered by the earlier of: (i) the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Merger becomes effective; or (ii) the date immediately prior to the date on which the cash amount that such Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share represents the right to receive would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body, then such cash amount shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock or to any other Person with respect to any Merger Consideration delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.

1.8. Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shares of Company Common Stock held by a holder who has made a proper demand for appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and who has otherwise complied with all applicable provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (any such shares being referred to as “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares.

(b) If any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then such shares shall be deemed automatically to have been converted into, as of the Effective Time, and to represent only, the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Company Stock Certificate representing such shares.

(c) The Company shall give Parent: (i) prompt notice of any demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL, any withdrawal or attempted withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL; and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not voluntarily make any payment or settlement offer or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of such demands prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless Parent shall have given its prior written consent to such payment, settlement offer, settlement or withdrawal.

1.9. Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent or the Surviving Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

(b) Immediately upon the expiration of the Go-Shop Period: (i) the Company shall, and shall cause the other Acquired Corporations and each director and executive officer of the Company to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to instruct and cause the other Representatives of the Acquired Corporations to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitation of, or discussions or negotiations with, any Person (other than Persons that are then Excluded Parties) relating to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; and (ii) the Company shall request, and shall thereafter use reasonable efforts to cause, each Person (other than a Person that is then an Excluded Party) that has previously executed a confidentiality or similar agreement in connection with such Person’s consideration of an Acquisition Proposal or investment in any Acquired Corporation to return to the Company or destroy any non-public information previously furnished to such Person or to any of such Person’s Representatives by or on behalf of any of the Acquired Corporations.

(c) Within 48 hours after the expiration of the Go-Shop Period: (i) the Company shall deliver to Parent a written notice setting forth: (A) the identity of each Excluded Party and each other Person that to the Knowledge of the Company has (or is expected to have) a material equity interest in, or is expected to participate in the Acquisition Transaction proposed by, such Excluded Party; and (B) the material terms and conditions of the pending Acquisition Proposal made by such Excluded Party (it being understood that price per share shall be considered a material term of any such pending Acquisition Proposal); and (ii) the Company shall deliver to Parent copies of all proposed definitive documents received by the Company or any of its Representatives from any such Excluded Party or its Representatives relating to any Acquisition Proposal.

(d) Immediately upon the expiration of the Go-Shop Period, except as provided in Section 4.3(a), the Company shall not (and shall not resolve or publicly propose to), directly or indirectly, and shall cause the Acquired Corporations and the directors and executive officers of the Company not to (and not to resolve or publicly propose to), directly or indirectly, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the other Representatives of any of the Acquired Corporations do not (and do not resolve or publicly propose to) directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, encourage, assist, induce or facilitate the submission, announcement or making of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry by any Person (other than a Person that is then an Excluded Party), or take any action that could reasonably be expected to lead a Person (other than a Person that is then an Excluded Party) to disclose, announce, commence, submit or otherwise make an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (ii) furnish or otherwise provide access to any information

regarding any of the Acquired Corporations to any Person (other than a Person that is then an Excluded Party) in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; or (iii) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than a Person that is then an Excluded Party) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; provided, however, that, subject to Section 4.3(e) and the other provisions of this Agreement, prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company may, without being deemed to violate this Section 4.3(d), furnish non-public information regarding the Acquired Corporations to, and enter into discussions or negotiations with, any Person in response to an unsolicited, bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal that is submitted to the Company by such Person (and not withdrawn), but only if: (A) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach in any material respect of this Agreement; (B) the Company Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, reasonably determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Offer; and (C) prior to furnishing any such non-public information to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, such Person, the Company receives from such Person an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement.

(e) Prior to furnishing or otherwise permitting the transmittal of any non-public information to any Excluded Party or other Person pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or the proviso to Section 4.3(d), the Company shall (as a condition to furnishing or otherwise permitting the transmittal of such non-public information to such Person) furnish such non-public information to Parent (to the extent such non-public information has not been previously furnished or Made Available by the Company to Parent).

(f) If the Company, any other Acquired Corporation or any Representative of any Acquired Corporation receives (from an Excluded Party or from any other Person) an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry or any request for non-public information at any time following the expiration of the Go-Shop Period, then the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after receipt of such Acquisition Proposal, Acquisition Inquiry or request) advise Parent in writing of such Acquisition Proposal, Acquisition Inquiry or request and the material terms and conditions thereof (excluding the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal, Acquisition Inquiry or request). Following the expiration of the Go-Shop Period: (i) the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after receipt) provide Parent with redacted copies of all proposed definitive documents received by the Company or any of its Representatives from any such Person or its Representatives relating to any Acquisition Proposal; and (ii) the Company shall keep Parent fully informed with respect to the status of any such Acquisition Proposal, Acquisition Inquiry or request and any modification or proposed modification thereto, and shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after obtaining knowledge thereof) notify Parent of any material change or development with respect to such Acquisition Proposal.

(g) The Company: (i) agrees that it will not, and shall ensure that each other Acquired Corporation will not, at any time (whether during or after the Go-Shop Period), release or permit the release of any Person from, or amend, waive or permit the amendment or waiver of any provision of, any “standstill” or similar agreement or provision to which any of the Acquired Corporations is or becomes a party or under which any of the Acquired Corporations has or acquires any rights; and (ii) will use its best efforts to enforce or cause to be enforced each such agreement or provision at the request of Parent; provided, however, that the Company may waive its rights under any such “standstill” or similar agreement or provision to the extent necessary to enable the parties subject thereto to make Acquisition Proposals to the Company during the Go Shop Period.

Section 5. Additional Covenants of the Parties

5.1. Proxy Statement. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC the Proxy Statement. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto (and to review and comment on any comments of the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto), and shall reasonably consider all comments made by Parent, prior to the filing thereof. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to comply in all material respects with the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and other applicable Legal Requirements. The Company shall promptly provide Parent and its legal counsel with a copy or a description of any comments received by the Company or its legal counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, and shall respond promptly to any such comments.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders, prior to the later of (A) the termination of the Go-Shop Period or (B) the time as of which no Acquisition Proposal from an Excluded Party is pending which constitutes, or is reasonably likely to constitute, a Superior Offer. If any event relating to any of the Acquired Corporations occurs, or if the Company becomes aware of any information, that should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, then the Company shall promptly inform Parent thereof and shall promptly file such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, if appropriate, mail such amendment or supplement to the stockholders of the Company.

5.2. Company Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) The Company shall take all action necessary under all applicable Legal Requirements to call, give notice of and hold a meeting of the holders of Company Common Stock (the “Company Stockholders’ Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval. The Company Stockholders’ Meeting shall be held (on a date selected by the Company and Parent) as promptly as practicable after the commencement of the mailing of the Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to call, give notice of or hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting prior to the termination of the Go-Shop Period. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the Company Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) Subject to Section 5.2(d), the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that: (i) each of the Special Committee and the Company Board: (i) has unanimously determined and believes that the Merger is advisable and fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and (ii) unanimously recommends that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt this Agreement at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting; and (B) the Company Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, has unanimously approved and adopted this Agreement and unanimously approved the Merger, in accordance with the requirements of the DGCL. (The unanimous determination by the Special Committee and the Company Board that the Merger is advisable and fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee and the Company Board that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt this Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Company Board Recommendation.”) The Company shall ensure that the Proxy Statement includes the opinion of the financial advisor referred to in Section 2.24.

(c) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall: (i) except as provided in Section 5.2(d), withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, or permit the withdrawal or modification in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub of, the Company Board Recommendation (it being understood and agreed that the Company Board Recommendation shall be deemed to have been modified by the Company Board or any committee thereof in a manner adverse to Parent and Merger Sub if the Company Board Recommendation shall no longer be unanimous); (ii) recommend the approval, acceptance or adoption of, or approve, endorse, accept or adopt, any Acquisition Proposal; (iii) approve or recommend, or cause or permit any Acquired Corporation to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar document or Contract constituting or relating directly or indirectly to, or that contemplates or is intended or could reasonably be expected to result directly or indirectly in, an Acquisition Transaction, other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or Section 4.3(d); or (iv) resolve, agree or publicly propose to, or permit any Acquired Corporation or any Representative of any Acquired Corporation to agree or publicly propose to, take any of the actions referred to in this Section 5.2(c).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause “(i)” of Section 5.2(c), at any time prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation:

(i) if: (A) a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal is made to the Company and is not withdrawn; (B) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach in a material respect of this Agreement; (C) the Company Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, reasonably determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Offer and that, in light of such Superior Offer, the Company Board is required to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in order for the Company Board to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Delaware law; and (D) no less than 24 hours prior to withdrawing or modifying the Company Board Recommendation, the Company Board delivers to Parent a written notice: (1) stating that the Company has received a Superior Offer that did not result from a breach in a material respect of this Agreement; (2) stating that the Company Board intends to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation as a result of such Superior Offer and describing any intended modification of the Company Board Recommendation; (3) specifying the identity of the party submitting a Superior Offer and the terms and conditions of such Superior Offer; and (4) attaching copies of the most current and complete draft of any Contract relating to such Superior Offer; or

(ii) if: (A) there shall arise after the date of this Agreement any change in circumstances affecting the Acquired Corporations that does not relate to any Acquisition Proposal and that leads the Company Board to consider withdrawing or modifying the Company Board Recommendation (any such change in circumstances unrelated to an Acquisition Proposal being referred to as a “Change in Circumstances”); (B) the Company provides Parent, at least 72 hours prior to any meeting of the Company Board at which the Company Board will consider and determine whether such Change in Circumstances requires the Company Board to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation, with a written notice specifying the date and time of such meeting, the reasons for holding such meeting and a reasonably detailed description of such Change in Circumstances; (C) the Company Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, reasonably determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and the advice of

the Company’s outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Change in Circumstances, the withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation is required in order for the Company Board to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Delaware law; (D) no less than 72 hours prior to withdrawing or modifying the Company Board Recommendation, the Company Board delivers to Parent a written notice: (1) stating that a Change in Circumstances has arisen; (2) stating that it intends to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in light of such Change in Circumstances and describing any intended modification of the Company Board Recommendation; and (3) containing a reasonably detailed description of such Change in Circumstances; (E) throughout the period between the delivery of such notice and any withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation, the Company engages (to the extent requested by Parent) in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that no withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation would be legally required as a result of such Change in Circumstances; and (F) at the time of withdrawing or modifying the Company Board Recommendation, the failure to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation would constitute a breach of the fiduciary obligations of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Delaware law in light of such Change in Circumstances (after taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent as a result of the negotiations required by clause “(D)” above or otherwise).

(e) The Company shall ensure that any withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation: (i) does not change or otherwise affect the approval of this Agreement by the Company Board or any other approval of the Company Board; and (ii) does not have the effect of causing any corporate takeover statute or other similar statute (including any “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “business combination” or “fair price” statute) of the State of Delaware or any other state to be applicable to this Agreement, any of the Support Agreements or the Merger.

5.3. Company Equity Awards.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause each Company Option and Company RSU that is vested, outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (including all Options and Company RSUs that vest contingent on the Merger or upon termination of service at or immediately prior to the Effective Time) (each, an “Outstanding Vested Company Award”) to be cancelled, terminated and extinguished as of the Effective Time, and upon the cancellation thereof the holder of each such Outstanding Vested Company Award shall be granted the right to receive, in respect of each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Outstanding Vested Company Award immediately prior to such cancellation, an amount (subject to any applicable withholding Tax) in cash equal to: (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration; minus (ii) with respect to a Company Option, the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option (it being understood that, if the exercise price payable in respect of a share of Company Common Stock subject to any such Company Option equals or exceeds the Per Share Merger Consideration, then the amount payable under this Section 5.3(a) with respect to such Company Option shall be zero). Each holder of an Outstanding Vested Company Award cancelled as provided in this Section 5.3(a) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the cash consideration (if any) specified in this Section 5.3(a), without interest. Parent shall cause the cash payments described in this Section 5.3(a) to be paid promptly following the Effective Time.

(b) At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Outstanding Unvested Company Option”), shall be converted into and become an option to purchase Parent Common Stock, with such conversion effected through Parent: (i) assuming such Outstanding Unvested Company Option; or (ii) replacing such Outstanding Unvested Company Option by issuing a reasonably equivalent replacement stock option to purchase Parent Common Stock in substitution therefor, in either case in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the applicable Company Equity Plan and the terms of the stock option agreement or an applicable Company Employee Agreement by which such Outstanding Unvested Company Option is evidenced. All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under Outstanding Unvested Company Options assumed or replaced by Parent shall thereupon be converted into options with respect to Parent Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (A) each Outstanding Unvested Company Option assumed or replaced by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock; (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Outstanding Unvested Company Option assumed or replaced by Parent shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Outstanding Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Conversion Ratio (as defined below), and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; (C) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Outstanding Unvested Company Option assumed or replaced by Parent shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Outstanding Unvested Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (D) subject to the terms of the stock option agreement by which such Outstanding Unvested Company Option is evidenced or an applicable Company Employee Agreement, any restriction on the exercise of any Outstanding Unvested Company Option assumed or replaced by Parent shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Outstanding Unvested Company Option shall otherwise remain unchanged as a result of the assumption or replacement of such Outstanding Unvested Company Option; provided, however, that Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to each Outstanding Unvested Company Option assumed or replaced by Parent. The “Conversion Ratio” shall be equal to the fraction having a numerator equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration and having a denominator equal to the average of the closing sale prices of a share of Parent Common Stock as reported on NASDAQ for each of the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Average Parent Stock Price”); provided, however, that if, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or a record date with respect to any such event shall occur during such period, then the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted accordingly.

(c) At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become a right to be issued Parent Common Stock, with such conversion effected through Parent, at Parent’s option, either: (i) assuming such Company RSU; or (ii) replacing such Company RSU by issuing a reasonably equivalent replacement right to be issued Parent Common Stock in substitution therefor, in either case in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the applicable Company Equity Plan and the terms of the award agreement or an applicable Company Employee Agreement by which such Company RSU is evidenced. All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under Company RSUs assumed or replaced by Parent shall thereupon be converted into rights to be issued Parent Common Stock upon settlement of such assumed or replaced Company RSUs. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (A) each Company RSU assumed or replaced by Parent will represent a right to be issued solely shares of Parent Common Stock upon settlement thereof; (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Company RSU assumed or replaced by Parent shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the

Effective Time by the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; and (C) subject to the terms of the award agreement by which such Company RSU is evidenced or an applicable Company Employee Agreement, any restriction on the issuance of shares under any Company RSU assumed or replaced by Parent shall continue in full force and effect and the term, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Company RSU shall otherwise remain unchanged as a result of the assumption or replacement of such Company RSU; provided, however, that Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to each Company RSU assumed or replaced by Parent.

(d) Parent shall file with the SEC, no later than 15 business days after the Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8 relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the assumed and replaced Outstanding Unvested Company Options and outstanding unvested Company RSUs, in each case to the extent that such shares of Parent Common Stock can be registered on a Form S-8.

(e) At the Effective Time, if Parent so elects, Parent may assume any or all of the Company Equity Plans or merge any such Company Equity Plan into any equity incentive plan of Parent. If Parent elects to so assume or merge any Company Equity Plan, then, under such Company Equity Plan, Parent shall be entitled to grant stock awards, to the extent permissible under applicable Legal Requirements, using the share reserves of such Company Equity Plan as of the Effective Time (including any shares returned to such share reserves as a result of the termination of Outstanding Unvested Company Options that are assumed or replaced by Parent pursuant to Section 5.3(b)), except that: (i) stock covered by such awards shall be shares of Parent Common Stock; (ii) all references in such Company Equity Plan to a number of shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed amended to refer instead to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of referenced shares of Company Common Stock by the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; and (iii) Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to the administration of such Company Equity Plan.

(f) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action that may be necessary (under the Company Equity Plans and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 5.3 and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Company Equity Awards have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 5.3.

5.4. Employee Benefits.

(a) If Parent elects not to maintain the Surviving Corporation’s health, vacation or 401(k) plans after the Effective Time, then, subject to any necessary transition period and subject to any applicable Parent plan provisions, contractual requirements or Legal Requirements: (i) all employees of the Acquired Corporations who continue employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) shall be eligible to participate in Parent’s health, vacation and 401(k) plans, to substantially the same extent as similarly situated employees of Parent; and (ii) for purposes of determining a Continuing Employee’s eligibility to participate in such plans (other than any sabbatical program), such Continuing Employee shall receive credit under such plans (other than any sabbatical program) for his or her years of continuous service with the Acquired Corporations prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to assume and perform its obligations under the terms of any Company Employee Agreement providing change in control benefits. Nothing in this Section 5.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any Company Associate to employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary of Parent.
