WHEREAS the Board of Directors of the Company, the Board of Directors of Parent, and the Board of Directors of Merger Sub have approved this Agreement, determined that the terms of this Agreement are in the best interests of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, and their respective stockholders and declared the advisability of this Agreement;

WHEREAS the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors of Merger Sub have recommended adoption of this Agreement by their respective stockholders, as applicable;

WHEREAS concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the persons listed on Schedule I (the “Stockholders”) are entering into a voting agreement with Parent pursuant to which, among other actions and matters, each of the Stockholders has agreed to vote all shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by such Stockholder in favor of the adoption of this Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”); and

WHEREAS the Company, Parent and Merger Sub desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties and covenants herein and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

The Merger

SECTION 1.01. The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), on the Closing Date, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”). At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving company in the Merger (the “Surviving Company”).

SECTION 1.02. Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the Merger shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on a date to be specified by the Company and Parent, which shall be no later than the second Business Day following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver by the party or parties entitled to the benefits thereof of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of those conditions), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and Parent; provided, however, that if all the conditions set forth in Article VII

shall not continue to have been satisfied or (to the extent permitted by Law) waived on such second Business Day, then the Closing shall take place on the first Business Day thereafter on which all such conditions shall have been satisfied or (to the extent permitted by Law) waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of those conditions), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and Parent; provided further, that if the Marketing Period has not ended at the time of the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of those conditions), the Closing shall not occur until the earlier to occur of (a) a date during the Marketing Period specified by Parent on three Business Days’ written notice to the Company (it being understood that such date may be conditioned upon the simultaneous completion of the Debt Financing and, if the Debt Financing is not completed for any reason at such time, such notice shall automatically be deemed withdrawn) and (b) the second Business Day following the final day of the Marketing Period or, if the final day of the Marketing Period is within two Business Days prior to the End Date, then on the End Date (subject in each case to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VII for the Closing as of the date determined pursuant to this proviso), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed in writing between Parent and the Company. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

SECTION 1.03. Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the certificate of merger relating to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”), executed and acknowledged in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, and, as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date, shall make all other filings required under the DGCL or by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at the time that the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later time as the Company and Parent shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

SECTION 1.04. Effects. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and Section 259 of the DGCL.

SECTION 1.05. Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. The certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law, except that the name of the Surviving Company shall be CEB Inc. and the certificate of incorporation shall comply with Section 6.05. The by-laws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Company until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law, except that references to the name of Merger Sub shall be replaced by references to the name of the Surviving Company and the bylaws shall comply with Section 6.05.

-2-

SECTION 1.06. Directors and Officers of Surviving Company. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Company until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Company until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be.

ARTICLE II

Effect on the Capital Stock of the Constituent Entities; Exchange of Certificates

SECTION 2.01. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holder of any shares of common stock, par value $0.01, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) or Merger Sub Common Stock:

(a) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, in Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Company with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Company. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Company into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company as treasury stock and each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.01(b) and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive (x) 0.2284 of a fully paid and nonassessable share (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Parent Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”) and (y) $54.00 in cash (the “Cash Consideration” and, together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). All such shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor and any dividends or other distributions to which holders become entitled upon the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.02, without interest.

-3-

For purposes of this Agreement, “Parent Common Stock” means the common stock, par value $0.0005 per share, of Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then any number or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock, as the case may be, will be appropriately adjusted to provide to Parent and the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

SECTION 2.02. Exchange of Certificates. (a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration. At or substantially concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall irrevocably deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, (i) certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as Stock Consideration and (ii) cash sufficient to (x) pay the Cash Consideration and (y) make payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.02(f). All such Parent Common Stock and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent is hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b) Letter of Transmittal. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Common Stock a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions (including customary provisions with respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to shares held in book-entry form) as Parent may specify subject to the Company’s reasonable approval), together with instructions thereto.

(c) Merger Consideration Received in Connection with Exchange. Upon (i) in the case of shares of Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate, the surrender of such Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, or (ii) in the case of shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form, the receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent, in each case together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly, completely and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (A) the Merger Consideration into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01 and (B) any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and in respect of any dividends or other distributions which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(d). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and in respect of any dividends or other distributions which the holder has the right to receive pursuant

-4-

to Section 2.02(d) may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Company Common Stock (or, if such Company Common Stock is held in book-entry form, proper evidence of such transfer) is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable transfer Taxes have been paid, as well as any other requirements reasonably imposed by the Exchange Agent. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02(c), each share of Company Common Stock, and any Certificate with respect thereto, shall be deemed at any time from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration which the holders of shares of Company Common Stock were entitled to receive in respect of such shares pursuant to Section 2.01 (and cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and in respect of any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.02(d)). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form).

(d) Treatment of Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon surrender thereof, and no cash payment with respect to the Cash Consideration or in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder, until the surrender of such Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) in accordance with this Article II. Subject to escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form), there shall be paid to the holder of the certificate representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The shares of Parent Common Stock issued and cash paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.02(f)) shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Company of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) are presented to Parent or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(f) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Company Common

-5-

Stock pursuant to Section 2.01. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock exchanged by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the average, rounded down to the nearest cent, of the closing sale prices of Parent Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (as reported in The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source mutually selected by Parent and the Company) for the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to the date of the Effective Time.

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for 360 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, and any holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends and distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article II, in each case without any interest thereon.

(h) No Liability. None of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates for five years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Exchange Fund would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Entity), shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(i) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent. No investment by the Exchange Agent of the Cash Consideration portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration shall relieve Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent from making the payments required by this Article II and Parent shall promptly replace any funds deposited with the Exchange Agent lost through any investment made pursuant to this Section 2.02(i). No investment by the Exchange Agent of the Cash Consideration portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement. Following the Effective Time, Parent agrees to make available to the Exchange Agent, from time to time as needed, additional cash or additional shares of Parent Common Stock to pay (i) the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II, (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and (iii) any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(d), in each case, without interest.

(j) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Tax Law. Amounts so withheld shall be timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

-6-

(k) 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 and customary amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, issue the Stock Consideration and pay the Cash Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends and distributions on such Certificate, in each case deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03. Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, no shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and that are held by a stockholder who has properly exercised such stockholder’s appraisal rights in respect of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (any such shares being referred to herein as “Dissenting Shares”) shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c) and instead shall be entitled to such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL (unless and until such stockholder shall have failed to timely perfect, or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost, such stockholder’s right to dissent from the Merger under the DGCL) and to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to and subject to the requirements of the DGCL. If any stockholder holding Dissenting Shares shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right with respect to his, her or its Dissenting Shares, such stockholder’s Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration for each such Dissenting Share, in accordance with Section 2.01(c). The Company shall (i) give Parent prompt notice of any notice or demand for appraisal or payment for shares of Company Common Stock or any withdrawals of such demands received by the Company and (ii) give Parent the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands and shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle, offer to settle or otherwise negotiate, any such demands.

SECTION 2.04. Tax Treatment. The parties acknowledge and agree that the exchange of Company Common Stock for the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger is intended to constitute a taxable sale or exchange of such Company Common Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties of Parent and Merger Sub

Parent and Merger Sub jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Company that the statements contained in this Article III are true and correct except as set forth in the Parent SEC Documents filed and publicly available after January 1, 2016 and prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Filed Parent SEC Documents”) (excluding any disclosures in the

-7-

Filed Parent SEC Documents in any risk factors section, in any section related to forward-looking statements and other disclosures that are predictive or forward-looking in nature) or in the disclosure letter delivered by Parent to the Company at or before the execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement (the “Parent Disclosure Letter”). The Parent Disclosure Letter shall be arranged in numbered and lettered sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections contained in this Article III, and the disclosure in any section shall be deemed to qualify other sections in this Article III to the extent (and only to the extent) that it is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that such disclosure also qualifies or applies to such other sections.

SECTION 3.01. Organization, Standing and Power. Each of Parent and each of Parent’s Subsidiaries (the “Parent Subsidiaries”) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized (in the case of good standing, to the extent such jurisdiction recognizes such concept), except, in the case of the Parent Subsidiaries, where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Each of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority and possesses all governmental franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations, variances, exemptions, orders and approvals (collectively, “Permits”) necessary to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to conduct its businesses as presently conducted (the “Parent Permits”), except where the failure to have such power or authority or to possess Parent Permits, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Each of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties make such qualification necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Parent has delivered or made available to the Company, prior to execution of this Agreement, true and complete copies of (a) the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Parent in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Parent Certificate”) and the by-laws of Parent in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Parent By-laws”) and (b) the constituent documents of Merger Sub. Parent has not taken any action in breach or violation of any of the provisions of the Parent Certificate or Parent By-laws and no Parent Subsidiary is in breach or violation of any of the provisions of its respective certificates of incorporation, by-laws or comparable governing documents, except, in the case of a Parent Subsidiary, for breaches or violations that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.02. Parent Subsidiaries. (a) All the outstanding shares of capital stock or voting securities of, or other equity interests in, each Parent Subsidiary have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by Parent, by another Parent Subsidiary or by Parent and another Parent Subsidiary, free and clear of all material pledges, liens, charges, mortgages, deeds of trust, rights of first offer or first refusal, options, encumbrances and security interests of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, with covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, encroachments, title retention agreements or other third party rights or title defect of any kind or nature whatsoever, “Liens”), and free of any other restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock, voting securities or other equity interests), except for restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws.

-8-

(b) Except for the capital stock and voting securities of, and other equity interests in, the Parent Subsidiaries, neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary owns, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or voting securities of, or other equity interests in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock or voting securities of, or other equity interests in, any firm, corporation, partnership, company, limited liability company, trust, joint venture, association or other entity.

SECTION 5.02. Transaction Solicitation Period.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing until 11:59 p.m. New York City time on February 9, 2017 (the “Transaction Solicitation Period”), the Company may, directly or indirectly, including with the assistance of investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other Representatives of the Company, (i) actively seek and take any action to initiate,

-44-

solicit, encourage or otherwise facilitate (whether publicly or otherwise) any Takeover Proposal, and (ii) enter into, participate in, maintain or continue any discussions or negotiations relating to, or that may be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal, and in connection with such efforts, the Company may authorize its or any of its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees, agents or other Representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by the Company or by any of the Subsidiaries of the Company), directly or indirectly, to initiate, solicit, encourage or otherwise facilitate (whether publicly or privately) efforts by any Person or group (each a “Prospective Acquirer”) to decide whether to make a Takeover Proposal.

(b) During the Transaction Solicitation Period, the Company may provide non-public information about the Company and its Subsidiaries to Prospective Acquirers, but the Company will not provide, or authorize anyone to provide, non-public information about the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to a Prospective Acquirer unless the Prospective Acquirer enters into a confidentiality agreement with the Company not less restrictive of the Prospective Acquirer than the Confidentiality Agreement, except that the confidentiality agreement between the Company and such Prospective Acquirer need not prohibit the making of a non-public Takeover Proposal to the Company Board. If the Company provides to any Prospective Acquirer non-public information about the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that the Company has not provided to Parent, the Company will promptly provide that non-public information to Parent, except to the extent providing Parent with such information is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) If at any time during the Transaction Solicitation Period the Company Board is presented with or receives a bona fide, written or oral Takeover Proposal from a Prospective Acquirer, then the Company shall promptly, and in any event within 48 hours of the receipt thereof, advise Parent in writing of such Takeover Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Takeover Proposal (including any material amendments thereto) and the identity of the Person making such Takeover Proposal. The Company agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality or other agreement subsequent to the date hereof that prohibits the Company from complying with this Section 5.02(c).

SECTION 5.03. No Solicitation by the Company; Company Board Recommendation.

(a) After the end of the Transaction Solicitation Period, except, in each case, with respect to an Excluded Party, the Company shall not, nor shall it authorize or instruct any of its Subsidiaries or any of its and their respective directors, officers or employees or any of their respective investment bankers, accountants, attorneys or other advisors, agents or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to, (i) directly or indirectly solicit or initiate, or knowingly encourage, induce or facilitate any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal or (ii) directly or indirectly participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person regarding, or knowingly furnish to any Person any non-public or confidential information with respect to any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to, except, in each case, with respect to an Excluded Party, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Takeover Proposal, or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a

-45-

Takeover Proposal, request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished and immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, in response to a bona fide written Takeover Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and financial advisor) constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, and which Takeover Proposal was not solicited after the end of the Transaction Solicitation Period and was made after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 5.03(a), the Company may, subject to compliance with Section 5.03(c), (x) furnish information with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Person making such Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives and any financing sources) (provided that all such information has previously been provided to Parent or is provided to Parent prior to or substantially concurrent with the time it is provided to such Person, except to the extent providing Parent with such information is prohibited by applicable Law) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement with the Person making such Takeover Proposal (or with one or more of its financing sources) not less restrictive of such Person than the Confidentiality Agreement (except that the confidentiality agreement between the Company and such Prospective Acquirer need not prohibit the making of a non-public Takeover Proposal to the Company Board), and (y) participate in discussions regarding the terms of such Takeover Proposal and the negotiation of such terms with, and only with, the Person making such Takeover Proposal (and such Person’s Representatives and any financing sources). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the end of the Transaction Solicitation Period, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives may continue to engage in the activities described in this Section 5.03(a) with respect to any Excluded Party, including with respect to any amended proposal submitted by any Excluded Party, so long as such Person continues to be an Excluded Party. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.03(a) by any Company Subsidiary or any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall constitute a breach of this Section 5.03(a) by the Company.

(b) Except as set forth below, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw (or modify in any manner adverse to Parent), or propose publicly to withdraw (or modify in any manner adverse to Parent), the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to this Agreement or (B) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose publicly to approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Takeover Proposal (any action in this clause (i) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose publicly to approve, recommend or declare advisable, or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval:

(i) other than in connection with a bona fide Takeover Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company Board may effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and financial advisor) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law if and only if:

-46-

(A) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least three Business Days in advance to the effect that the Company Board has (i) so determined; and (ii) resolved to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 5.03(b), which notice will describe the Intervening Event in reasonable detail; and

(B) prior to effecting such Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company and its Representatives, during such three Business Day period, have negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent has requested to so negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the Company Board no longer determines in good faith that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law; or

(ii) if the Company has received a bona fide written Takeover Proposal that the Company Board has concluded in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and financial advisor) is a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board may (A) effect an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal or (B) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f) to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in each case if and only if:

(A) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and financial advisor) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law;

(B) the Company has complied with its obligations in all material respects pursuant to this Section 5.03 with respect to such Takeover Proposal; and

(C) (i) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least three (3) Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”) to the effect that the Company Board has (A) received a bona fide written Takeover Proposal that has not been withdrawn; (B) concluded in good faith that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; and (C) resolved to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.03, which notice will describe the basis for such Adverse Recommendation Change or termination, including the identity of the Person or “group” of Persons making such Takeover Proposal, the material terms of such Takeover Proposal and copies of all relevant documents relating to such Takeover Proposal; and (ii) prior to effecting such Adverse Recommendation Change or termination, the Company and its Representatives, during the Notice Period, have negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent has requested to so negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Takeover Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; it being understood that (a) in the event of any material revisions to such Takeover Proposal, the Company will be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.03 with respect to such new written notice,

-47-

except that with respect to a Takeover Proposal made by an Excluded Party, references to three (3) Business Days in this Section 5.03(b) shall be deemed to be two (2) Business Days from and after the second time such a notice is given and (b) the Company Board, at the end of the Notice Period (after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and financial advisor), must have in good faith reaffirmed its determination that such bona fide written Takeover Proposal is a Superior Proposal.

(c) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.03, following the end of the Transaction Solicitation Period the Company shall promptly, and in any event within 48 hours of the receipt thereof, advise Parent in writing of any Takeover Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Takeover Proposal (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the person making any such Takeover Proposal. The Company shall (x) keep Parent informed in all material respects and on a reasonably current basis of the status and details (including any change to the terms thereof) of any Takeover Proposal, and (y) provide to Parent as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence and other written material exchanged between the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries and any Person that describes any of the terms or conditions of any Takeover Proposal.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.03 shall prohibit the Company from (w) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, (x) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (after consultation with outside counsel) failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable Law,(y) in response to an inquiry, responding to inform any Person solely of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 5.03 or (z) making any “stop, look and listen” statement pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act. The making of a disclosure permitted under this Section 5.03(d) shall not be, in itself, a breach of this Section 5.03; provided, however, that any such disclosure that addresses or relates to the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Company Board with respect to this Agreement or a Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board in connection with such communication publicly states that its recommendation with respect to this Agreement has not changed; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company or the Company Board or any committee thereof take, or agree or resolve to take, any action, or make any statement, that would violate this Section 5.03.

“Intervening Event” means any positive change, effect, development, circumstance, condition, event or occurrence that (i) as of the date of this Agreement was not known to the Company Board, or the consequences of which (based on facts known to the members of the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement) were not reasonably known or understood as of the date of this Agreement; and (ii) does not relate to a Takeover Proposal.

Each of the Company and Parent shall advise the other, promptly after receipt of notice thereof, of the time of effectiveness of the Form S-4, the issuance of any stop order relating thereto or the suspension of the qualification of the Stock Consideration for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, and each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated. Each of the Company and Parent shall also take any other action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified) required to be taken under the

-50-

Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the Merger and the issuance of the Stock Consideration.

(b) If prior to the Effective Time, any event occurs with respect to Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, or any change occurs with respect to other information supplied by Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4, which is required to be described in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4, Parent shall promptly notify the Company of such event, and Parent and the Company shall cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4 and, as required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to the Company’s stockholders. Nothing in this Section 6.01(b) shall limit the obligations of any party under Section 6.01(a).

(c) If prior to the Effective Time, any event occurs with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or any change occurs with respect to other information supplied by the Company for inclusion in the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4, which is required to be described in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4, the Company shall promptly notify Parent of such event, and the Company and Parent shall cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4 and, as required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to the Company’s stockholders.

The Company shall, through the Company Board, recommend to its stockholders that they give the Company Stockholder Approval and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement, except to the extent that the Company Board shall have made an Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.03(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01(d), if on a date for which the Company Stockholders Meeting is scheduled, (i) the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, (ii) after consultation between the Company and Parent, the failure to adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders Meeting would reasonably be expected to be a violation of applicable Law for the distribution of any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement or (iii) Parent otherwise provides written consent to such postponements or adjournments, the Company shall make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Company Stockholders Meeting, provided that the Company Stockholders Meeting is not postponed or adjourned to a date that is more than 30 days after the date for which the Company Stockholders Meeting was originally scheduled (excluding any adjournments or postponements required by applicable Law). The Company agrees that its obligations to hold the Company Stockholders Meeting pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Takeover Proposal or by the making of any

-51-

Adverse Recommendation Change by the Company Board unless the Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that if the public announcement of an Adverse Recommendation Change or the Company’s delivery of a written notice to Parent of an Adverse Recommendation Change is less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting, the Company shall be entitled to postpone the Company Stockholders Meeting to a date not more than ten (10) Business Days after such event.

If any material is withheld by the Company pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, the Company shall inform Parent as to the general nature of what is being withheld. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

(f) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, if and to the extent necessary to obtain clearance of the Merger pursuant to the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws applicable to the Merger, each of Parent and Merger Sub (and their respective controlled Affiliates, if applicable) will (i) offer, negotiate, commit to and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, (A) the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any and all of the capital stock or other equity or voting interests, assets (whether tangible or intangible), rights, products, or businesses of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries; and (B) any other restrictions on the activities of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries; and (ii) contest, defend, and appeal any Legal Proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company or its Subsidiaries to take or agree to take any such action unless the effectiveness of such action or agreement is conditioned upon Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will Parent or Merger Sub be obligated pursuant to this Agreement to, and the Company will not without the prior written consent of Parent, take any of the actions in (i) of this paragraph (f) where such action, individually or in the aggregate, would involve assets or a business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any combination thereof and would result in the loss of revenues (as measured by revenues for the 12 months ended December 31, 2016) in excess of $125 million.

(ii) adjust the terms of all Company PSUs which are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not then vested), to provide for the settlement of such Company PSUs, immediately prior to the Effective Time, into such number of

(iii) adjust the terms of all Company RSUs (or portion thereof) which are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and are not Vested Company RSUs or Company PSUs (the “Converted Company RSUs”) to provide that, at the Effective Time, such Converted Company RSUs shall be assumed as of the Effective Time and represent, immediately after the Effective Time, the right to receive, on the same terms and conditions (including the terms and conditions relating to the achievement of performance goals) as were applicable under such award immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, but not limited to, vesting conditions), a number of shares of Parent Common Stock, rounded up to the nearest whole share, equal to the product of (1) the applicable number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such award, multiplied by (2) the Stock Award Exchange Ratio; and

(c) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise or settlement of the Converted Company RSUs in accordance with this Section 6.04. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 20 days, after the Effective Time, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to Converted Company RSUs and shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such Converted Company RSUs remain outstanding.

(d) The Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 6.04 to any holder of Vested Company RSUs and Company PSUs such amounts as the Surviving Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of state, or local Law related to Tax, and the Surviving Corporation shall make any required filings with and payments to Tax authorities relating to any such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Surviving

(a) Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) and any indemnification or other similar agreements of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

In the event of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, (x) each the Company Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of

-56-

expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding from the Surviving Company within ten Business Days of receipt by the Surviving Company from the Company Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, if and only to the extent required by the DGCL or the Surviving Company’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification and (y) the Surviving Company shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter. Without limiting the foregoing, at the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation to include provisions for limitation of liabilities of directors and officers, indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of the indemnitees no less favorable to the indemnitees than as set forth in the Company Charter or the Company By-laws in effect on the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the indemnitees except as required by applicable Law.

(b) In the event that the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not 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, the Surviving Company shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Company assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.05.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.05 (i) shall survive consummation of the Merger, (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified or insured party (including the Company Indemnified Parties), his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.

(ii) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(d) as a result of a breach by the Company of, or failure by the Company to perform, the Company’s obligations under Section 6.01(d), if such breach shall have occurred or continued after a Takeover Proposal shall have been made to the Company or shall have been made directly to the stockholders of the Company generally or shall otherwise become publicly known or any Person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make a Takeover Proposal;

(v) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f) and the counterparty to such Alternative Acquisition Agreement is not an Excluded Party.

Any Termination Fee due under this Section 6.06(b) shall be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds (x) in the case of clauses (i) or (ii) above, on the Business Day immediately following the date of termination of this Agreement and (y) in the case of clauses (iii) or (iv) above, on the date of the first to occur of the events referred to in clause (iii)(C) or (iv)(C), as applicable, above.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub each shall take all such steps as may be required to cause (a) any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and (b) any acquisitions of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Parent Common Stock) resulting from the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by each individual who may become or is reasonably expected to become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Parent to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 6.09. Financing. (a) Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take (or cause to be taken) all actions necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and consummate the Debt Financing on a timely basis on the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters (including the “flex” provisions) to the extent the proceeds thereof are needed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter and comply with its obligations and conditions thereunder, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements on a timely basis with respect to the Debt Financing on terms and conditions (including “flex” provisions) contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or otherwise no less favorable to Parent than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (the “Financing Agreements”), (iii) satisfy (or have waived) on a timely basis all conditions and covenants applicable to Parent in the Debt Commitment Letter that are within its control at or prior to the Closing (including the payment of any commitment, engagement or placement fees required as a condition to the Debt Financing), and otherwise comply in all material respects with its obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter (including the Financing Agreements), (iv) enforce all its respective rights under the Debt Commitment Letter and (v) except to the extent Parent otherwise has cash resources at Closing to fund its payment obligations in full hereunder, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (or waiver thereof), consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing. Parent shall not permit any amendment, supplement or modification to be made to, or any waiver by Parent of any provision or remedy under the Debt Commitment Letter or any Financing Agreement if such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver expands on the conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding on the “Closing Date” of the Debt Financing as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that Parent may replace, amend, supplement or modify the Debt Commitment Letter to add agents, co-agents, lenders, arrangers, joint bookrunners, managers or other entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof in

-61-

accordance with the provisions therein. Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company true and complete copies of any such replacement, amendment, supplement, modification or waiver. For purposes of this Section 6.09, references to “Debt Financing” shall include the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as permitted to be amended or modified by this Section 6.09 and references to “Debt Commitment Letter” shall include such documents as permitted to be amended, modified or substituted by this Section 6.09.

(b) In the event any funds in the amounts set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements, or any portion thereof, become unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter (including the “flex” provisions set forth in the Fee Letters) or the Financing Agreements, Parent shall (a) give prompt notice to the Company and (b) use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing from alternative sources on terms and subject to conditions that are not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to Parent than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (including the “flex” provisions set forth in the Fee Letters) as in effect on the date hereof, in an amount sufficient, when combined with cash on hand and borrowings under any existing credit facilities or other financing arrangements, to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall have the right from time to time to substitute other committed debt financing or the proceeds of consummated debt or equity transactions, or available cash or cash equivalents, for all or any portion of the Debt Financing from the same and/or any alternative financing source; provided, that, in the case of committed debt financing, any such substitution shall not expand upon in any material respect the conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding on the “Closing Date” of the Debt Financing as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (including the “flex” provisions set forth in the Fee Letters) as in effect on the date of this Agreement in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In such event, the term “Debt Commitment Letter” as used herein shall be deemed to include the new commitment letter (the “New Debt Financing Commitment”), if any, entered into in accordance with this Section 6.09(b) (any financing arranged under this Section 6.09(b) to substitute for all or any portion of the Debt Financing or if any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable shall be referred to as the “Alternate Debt Financing”). Parent will provide the Company with a true, complete and correct copy of any New Debt Financing Commitment obtained by Parent in connection with an Alternate Debt Financing promptly following the execution thereof (other than fees and other information redacted from such agreements that is consistent with the information redacted from the Fee Letters as permitted by Section 3.12(a)). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Debt Financing or the Alternate Debt Financing, as applicable, is available and the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.03 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature will be satisfied (or waived) at the Closing, subject to satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing), Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions within its control necessary to incur the Indebtedness provided under the Debt Financing or the Alternate Debt Financing, as applicable, to consummate the Merger, to the extent the proceeds thereof are needed to consummate the Merger. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 6.09(b) shall require, and in no event shall the reasonable best efforts of Parent be deemed or construed to require, Parent to (i) bring any enforcement action, including commencing or filing any Legal Proceeding, against any Debt Financing Source to enforce its

-62-

rights under the Debt Commitment Letter or (ii) pay any fees in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (whether to secure waiver of any conditions contained therein or otherwise); provided, that Parent shall pay all fees required by the Debt Commitment Letter as they become due.

(c) Parent shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing (or replacement thereof) as the Company may reasonably request, and shall provide the Company with true and complete copies of all Financing Agreements entered into prior to the Closing Date and, as the Company may reasonably request from time to time, drafts of such documents posted to a lender syndicate group; provided that the Fee Letters may be redacted in accordance with Section 6.09(a); provided, further, that in no event will Parent be under any obligation to disclose any information that is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege if Parent shall have used its reasonable best efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not waive such privilege. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall give the Company prompt notice of any material breach or default by any party to any of the Debt Commitment Letter or Financing Agreements of which Parent becomes aware.

(d) Parent acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of the Debt Financing, or any Alternate Debt Financing, is not a condition to Closing and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the Debt Financing or any Alternate Debt Financing.

(e) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide to Parent, on a reasonably timely basis, all cooperation and assistance as may be reasonably requested by Parent that is customary in connection with the arrangement, syndication and consummation of the Debt Financing and repayment of Existing Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including by using its reasonable best efforts to (i) provide reasonable cooperation with the marketing efforts of Parent and lenders or initial purchasers for any of the Debt Financing, including using reasonable best efforts, upon reasonable advance notice, to cause its Representatives (including members of senior management and advisors of the Company and its Subsidiaries) to be available to participate in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions, and sessions with rating agencies, (ii) assist with the preparation of customary materials for rating agency presentations, offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda (to the extent relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries), road show presentations and similar documents reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Debt Financing, including the preparation and furnishing in a reasonably timely fashion of all financial statements and other customary data to be included in connection therewith (including all audited financial statements and unaudited financial statements (which shall have been reviewed by the independent accountants for the Company as provided in the procedures specified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in AU 722) referred to in clause 4 of Exhibit H to the Debt Commitment Letter), information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries reasonably required for Parent to prepare pro forma financial statements as contemplated in clause 6 of Exhibit H to the Debt Commitment Letter (it being understood that the Company need only assist in the preparation thereof, but shall not be required to prepare independently any separate pro forma financial statements), financial data, audit reports and other information regarding the Company and its

-63-

Subsidiaries of the type required by and in compliance with Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and related forms for a registered public offering of debt securities and all information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries reasonably necessary for the preparation of updated financial projections for Parent after giving effect to the Merger (A) of type and form customarily included in private placements of debt securities under Rule 144A, to consummate the offering(s) of debt securities contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include financial statements required by Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X, information regarding executive compensation (including under Rule 402(b) of Regulation S-K) and (B) for the syndication of bridge loan commitments and facilities and secured revolving credit and term loan commitments and facilities contemplated under the Debt Commitment Letter (the financial statements, financial information reasonably required for Parent to prepare pro forma financial statements, and other historical financial information referred to in this clause (ii), the “Required Information”), (iii) assist with the preparation of Financing Agreements, including the use of reasonable best efforts to assist Parent in connection with the preparation of any pledge and security agreements (including schedules and exhibits thereto) required in connection with the Debt Financing and facilitate the granting of a security interest (and perfection thereof) in collateral to secure the Debt Financing, (iv) use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company’s independent auditors to provide, consistent with customary practice, (A) consent to offering memoranda that include or incorporate the Company’s consolidated financial information and their reports thereon, in each case, to the extent such consent is required, customary auditors reports and customary comfort letters (including “negative assurance” comfort) with respect to financial information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries, (B) reasonable assistance in the preparation of pro forma financial statements by Parent and (C) reasonable assistance and cooperation to Parent, including attending the accounting due diligence sessions of the Company, (v) provide and execute documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent and necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that no obligation of the Company under any such documents shall be effective until the Closing, (vi) reasonably cooperate with the Debt Financing Sources and their respective agents with respect to their reasonably requested due diligence, (vii) furnish Parent and the Debt Financing Sources in a reasonably timely basis with all documentation and other information required by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Debt Financing under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act, (viii) provide customary authorization and management representation letters representing that the information provided by the Company for inclusion in any confidential information memorandum or lender presentation does not include material non-public information about the Company and its Subsidiaries, and designate the information provided by the Company for presentation to lenders as suitable to be made available to lenders who do not wish to receive material non-public information, (ix) arrange for customary payoff letters, lien terminations and instruments of discharge to be delivered at Closing providing for the payoff, discharge and termination on the Closing Date of all Existing Indebtedness of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter to be paid off, discharged and terminated on the Closing Date (subject to receipt from Parent of the funds necessary to effectuate the pay-off contemplated by such payoff letters, lien terminations and instruments of discharge), and, if requested by Parent, arranging for redemption notices for Existing Indebtedness to be given at Closing or prior to Closing and conditional on the occurrence of the Closing, and (x) satisfy the

-64-

conditions precedent set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or any Financing Agreement to the extent the satisfaction of such conditions requires the cooperation of or is within the control of the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Company hereby consents to the use of the logos of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the syndication or marketing of the Debt Financing, provided that such logos are not used in a manner that would reasonably be expected to harm, disparage or adversely affect the Company, its Subsidiaries, their marks or their reputation.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall require any cooperation by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives to the extent that (A) it would require the Company to pay any commitment or other fees, reimburse any expenses or otherwise incur any liabilities that are not reimbursed by Parent as provided in Section 6.09(g) below or give any indemnities prior to Closing, (B) it would require the Company to take any action that in the good faith judgment of the Company unreasonably interferes with the ongoing business or operations of the Company and/or any Company Subsidiary, (C) it would require the Company or any Company Subsidiary to enter into, execute or approve any agreement or other documentation that would be effective prior to the Closing or agree to any change or modification of any existing agreement or other documentation or certificate that would be effective prior to the Closing (other than the execution of customary authorization and representation letters and the delivery of any notices to the holders of any outstanding debt as may be required by the terms thereof), (D) it would require the Company or any Company Subsidiary to provide, and Parent shall be solely responsible for, (1) the preparation of pro forma financial information, including pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization or other pro forma adjustments desired to be incorporated into any pro forma financial information (it being understood and agreed that the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall assist Parent in Parent’s preparation of the pro forma financial information as and to the extent contemplated by Section 6.09(c)), (2) any description of all or any component of the Debt Financing, including any such description to be included in any liquidity or capital resources disclosure or any “description of notes”, (3) projections, risk factors or other forward-looking statements relating to any component of such financing or (4) subsidiary financial statements or other information of the type required by Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X, (E) it would require the Company to provide any information the disclosure of which is prohibited by or restricted under applicable Law or Contract unless such information is provided pursuant to customary confidentiality arrangements, or (F) it would require the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective boards of directors (or equivalent bodies) to approve or authorize the Debt Financing or any documentation related thereto, and (ii) no action, liability or obligation (including any obligation to pay any commitment or other fees or reimburse any expenses) of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives under any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument relating to the Debt Financing shall be effective until the Closing.

(g) Parent shall (x) promptly, upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation of the Company and its Subsidiaries contemplated by Section 6.09(e) and (y) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective

Representatives from and against any and all costs suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than costs arising from gross negligence, fraud or willful misrepresentation with respect to information provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection therewith).

SECTION 6.10. Public Announcements. Except with respect to any Adverse Recommendation Change made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as such party may reasonably conclude may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system.

In providing for incentive compensation opportunities for the Continuing Employees for calendar year 2017, Parent shall seek to ensure that such opportunities reasonably take into account the pre-Closing performance and targets, as well as the impact of the transition after the Closing, in order to be fair to the Continuing Employees.

(b) With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries (“Parent Benefit Plans”) which are made available to Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents from and after the Effective Time, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits including benefit accruals (other than benefit accruals and early retirement subsidies under any defined benefit pension plan) and vesting, Parent shall, or shall cause the Parent Subsidiaries to, treat service recognized by the Company and any Company Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time as service with Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries; provided, however, that, notwithstanding that the Company service shall be recognized by Parent Benefit Plans in accordance with the forgoing, the date of initial participation of each Continuing Employee in any Parent Benefit Plan shall be no earlier than the Effective Time; further provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to

-66-

the extent that (i) such Parent benefit plan does not recognize service with Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries of similarly situated employees of Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries or (ii) such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(c) Without limiting the scope of Section 9.07, nothing in this Section 6.12 shall confer any rights or remedies of any kind or description upon any Continuing Employee or any other person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns), including any rights to continued employment, the terms and conditions of the employment, or to any specific benefit plan, program, policy, arrangement or agreement.

(d) With respect to any welfare plan maintained by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary made available to Continuing Employees after the Effective Time, Parent or such Parent Subsidiary shall (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees to the extent such conditions and exclusions were satisfied or did not apply to such employees under the analogous welfare plans of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid and for out-of-pocket maximums incurred prior to the Effective Time and during the portion of the plan year of the applicable the Company welfare plan ending at the Effective Time, in satisfying any analogous deductible or out-of-pocket requirements to the extent applicable under any such plan for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.12, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall assume and honor, or shall cause to be assumed and honored, all employment, change in control and severance agreements between the Company and any Continuing Employee as in effect at the Effective Time and as set forth on Section 4.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, including with respect to any payments, benefits or rights arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or in combination with any other event), pursuant to the terms thereof, including respecting any limitations as to amendment or modification included in such agreements.

(f) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.12, Parent shall assume, honor and continue, or shall cause to be assumed, honored and continued, for the benefit of all Continuing Employees, (i) the Company’s Severance Program—U.S. Staff for a period of not less than 12 months following the Effective Time and (ii) the Company’s paid time off policy through the later to occur of (x) the end of the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs or (y) December 31, 2017. Parent shall continue, or shall cause to be continued, the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan, As Amended, Effective January 1, 2015 (the “Company NQDC Plan”) until such time as account balances of current participants are distributed in accordance with deferral elections in effect as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent shall have the ability to amend other terms of the Company NQDC Plan, including limiting ability to make additional deferrals, changing the plan administrator and changing deemed investment alternatives, and provided further that nothing herein shall preclude Parent from terminating the Company NQDC Plan in the event of a change of control of Parent. The Company NQDC Plan grantor trust holds assets that are substantially equal to the benefit obligations under the Company NQDC Plan (exclusive of liabilities for Company RSUs deferred under the Company NQDC Plan) as of the date of this Agreement, and all such assets will be

-67-

available to Parent after the Effective Time to fund the obligation to pay benefits under the terms of the Company NQDC Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.12, Parent shall retain discretion to terminate or amend the Company’s Retiree Medical Policy in accordance with its terms, although benefits for former employees participating in the plan will be grandfathered in the event of any termination or amendment of the Retiree Medical Policy.

(g) Nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to constitute an amendment to any Parent Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Plan or any other compensation or benefits plan maintained for or provided to employees, directors or consultants of Parent or the Company prior to or following the Effective Time, or, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.12, to prohibit or limit the ability of Parent to amend, modify or terminate any employee benefit plans, programs, policies or arrangements of Parent or the Company.

(h) Each of Parent and the Company agrees that, for purposes of each Company Benefit Plan, the transactions contemplated by the Agreement shall constitute a “change in control,” “change of control” or “corporate change,” as applicable.

SECTION 6.13. Control of Operations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or the Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the other party’s operations prior to the Effective Time.

SECTION 6.14. 401(k) Plans. Effective as of the day prior to the Effective Time, unless otherwise directed in writing by Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, the Company and each Company Subsidiary shall adopt written resolutions of the appropriate board of directors to effect the termination of any and all Company Benefit Plans intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Company 401(k) Plan”). The Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Company 401(k) Plan has been terminated pursuant to an action by the Company Board or the board of directors of a Subsidiary, as applicable. In the event of such termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, Parent shall provide each Continuing Employee who was participating in the Company 401(k) Plan as of the date of its termination, the right to participate, as soon as administratively practicable following the Effective Time, in a replacement plan sponsored by Parent or its Subsidiaries intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”), and Parent shall take all actions necessary to permit the rollover of account balances (including outstanding loans) of such Continuing Employees from the Company 401(k) Plan to the Parent 401(k) Plan, at the participants’ election, provided that accepting such rollovers would not jeopardize the tax-qualified status of the Parent 401(k) Plan.

-72-

shall relieve any party from any liability for any statement, act or failure to act by such party that is material and that such party intended to be a misrepresentation or a breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement; and (b) the parties acknowledge and agree that no such termination shall relieve a party from any liability for its failure to consummate the Merger when required in accordance with this Agreement after the conditions precedent to such party’s obligations to effect the Closing set forth in Article VII have been satisfied or waived (except for those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, which conditions would be capable of being satisfied at the time of such failure to consummate the Merger). The Confidentiality Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 8.03. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties at any time prior to the Effective Time by written agreement executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of the respective parties; provided, however, that (i) after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, there shall be made no amendment that by Law requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without the further approval of such stockholders, and (ii) except as provided above, no amendment of this Agreement shall be submitted to be approved by the stockholders of the Company unless required by Law.

Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

SECTION 8.05. Procedure for Termination, Amendment, Extension or Waiver. A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, an amendment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.03 or an extension or waiver pursuant to Section 8.04 shall, in order to be effective, require, in the case of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, action by its Board of Directors or the duly authorized designee thereof.

It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in clause (a) below, without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach. In addition, each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any Delaware state court or any Federal court located in the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than any Delaware state court or any Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware.

SECTION 9.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such party would not, in the event of any action, suit or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 9.11 and (c) acknowledges and agrees that such waiver shall extend to the Debt Financing Sources.

SECTION 9.12. Provisions Related to the Debt Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees that neither it, nor any of its former, current

or future direct or indirect stockholders, officers, directors, managers, employees, members, partners, agents or other representatives and Affiliates (collectively, “Company and Related Parties”), shall have any claim against any Debt Financing Source, any lender participating in the Debt Financing or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, direct or indirect stockholders, managers, members, agents, representatives, Affiliates, successors or assigns (collectively, “Debt Financing Related Parties”), in each case other than the Parent, nor shall any Debt Financing Related Party (other than the Parent) have any Liability whatsoever to any Company and Related Party, in connection with the Debt Financing or in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, in each case, whether arising, in whole or in part, out of comparative, contributory or sole negligence by any Debt Financing Related Party.
