(c) At the Closing, the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall file a certificate of merger in customary form and substance with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and make all other filings or recordings required by Delaware Law in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time (the “Effective Time”) as the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or at such later time as may be mutually agreed to by the Company and Parent and as specified in the certificate of merger).

(d) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Merger Subsidiary, all as provided under Delaware Law.

Section 2.02. Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof:

(a) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(b) or Section 2.05, each share of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any Company Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of any Company Warrant or Company Convertible Notes for or into Company Stock by the holder thereof prior to the Effective Time) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $25.81 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”);

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

(c) each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation 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 Corporation.

Section 2.03. Company Warrants. At the Effective Time, each Company Warrant outstanding at the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished, and each holder thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, other than the right to receive, in respect of each share of Company Stock that would be obtainable upon exercise of such Company Warrant

as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, an amount equal to $5.05 in cash, without interest (the “Warrant Consideration”). Each holder of a Company Warrant shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement with respect to its right to receive the Warrant Consideration pursuant to this Article 2.

Section 2.04. Surrender and Payment. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing shares of Company Stock (the “Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Stock (the “Uncertificated Shares”) and exchanging the Warrant Consideration for each share of Company Stock subject to the Company Warrants. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares and the Warrant Consideration to be paid in respect of the Company Warrants (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the In-the-Money Company Stock Option Merger Consideration or the Company RSU Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of In-the-Money Company Stock Options and Company RSUs, respectively). All cash deposited with the Exchange Agent may not be used for any purpose not provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed by the Company and Parent before the Effective Time. Any income from investment of the Exchange Fund will be payable to the Surviving Corporation. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five Business Days after the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of shares of Company Stock at the Effective Time (other than the Company, Parent, Merger Subsidiary, any Subsidiary of the Company or Parent, or holders of Dissenting Shares who have not subsequently withdrawn or lost their rights of appraisal) a letter of transmittal, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Surviving Corporation, and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

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

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

(d) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay to each holder of a Company Warrant as of immediately prior to the Effective Time the Warrant Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant, payable to such holder pursuant to Section 2.03 in accordance with joint written instructions provided by the Company and the holder of such Company Warrant to the Exchange Agent.

(e) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock or transfers of Company Warrants. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2. If, after the Effective Time, Company Warrants are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Warrant Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.04(a) that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Stock one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.04 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration, in respect of such shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Stock immediately prior to such time when such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.05 in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

Section 2.05. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.02, shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Stock canceled in accordance with Section 2.02(b) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Delaware Law (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration but instead shall be entitled to payment of the appraised value of such shares in accordance with Delaware Law; provided that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Delaware Law, such shares of Company Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02(a), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such

Uncertificated Share, as the case may be, in compliance with Section 2.03. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Delaware Law that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to participate in and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands under Delaware Law consistent with the obligations of the Company thereunder. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Dissenting Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of an equity owner of the Surviving Company or of a stockholder of Parent.

Section 2.06. Company Equity Awards. (a) At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Stock outstanding under any Company Stock Plan (a “Company Stock Option”) that has an exercise price per share of Company Stock underlying such Company Stock Option (the “Option Exercise Price”) that is less than the Merger Consideration (each such Company Stock Option, an “In-the-Money Company Stock Option”), whether or not exercisable or vested, shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash determined by multiplying (A) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the Option Exercise Price of such In-the-Money Company Stock Option by (B) the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such In-the-Money Company Stock Option (such amount, the “In-the-Money Company Stock Option Merger Consideration”). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the In-the-Money Company Stock Option Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, at or reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five Business Days after the Effective Time). At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option that has an Option Exercise Price that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, whether or not exercisable or vested, shall be cancelled without any consideration therefor.

(b) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of Company Stock granted subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions under any Company Stock Plan (each, a “Company Restricted Share”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest in full and become free of such restrictions as of the Effective Time and, at the Effective Time, shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and under the same terms and conditions as apply to the receipt of the Merger Consideration by holders of Company Stock generally.

(c) At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, each restricted share unit with respect to shares of Company Stock granted under a Company Stock Plan (each, a “Company RSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) an amount in cash equal to (A) the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration (such amount, the “Company RSU Merger Consideration”). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Company RSU Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, at or reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five Business Days after the Effective Time).

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering any Company Stock Plan) shall adopt such resolutions or take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, providing for the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.06. The Company shall provide that, following the Effective Time, no holder of any Company Stock Option, Company Restricted Share or Company RSU shall have the right to acquire any equity interest in the Company or the Surviving Corporation in respect thereof.

(e) The holders of Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Shares and Company RSUs shall have the right to enforce, and shall be beneficiaries with respect to, the provisions of this Section 2.06.

(f) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the ESPP) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to provide that, with respect to the ESPP: (i) each individual participating in the offering period in progress as of the date of this Agreement (the “Final Offering”) shall not be permitted (x) to increase the amount of his or her rate of payroll contributions thereunder from the rate in effect when the Final Offering commenced, or (y) to make separate non-payroll contributions to the ESPP on or following the date of this Agreement; (ii) no individual who is not participating in the ESPP as of the date of this Agreement may commence participation in the ESPP following the date of this Agreement; (iii) the Final Offering shall end on the earlier to occur of February 29, 2012, and a date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time; (iv) all amounts allocated to each participant’s account under the ESPP as of such date shall thereupon be used to purchase from the Company whole shares of Company Stock at the applicable price determined under the terms of the ESPP; and (v) no further offering periods shall start or rights shall be granted or exercised under the ESPP thereafter; and (vi) the ESPP shall terminate immediately following the end of the Final Offering and. All shares of Company Stock purchased in the Final Offering shall be cancelled at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.07. Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article 2 such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law. If the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Company Stock, Company Warrants, Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Shares or Company RSUs, as applicable, in respect of which the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.08. 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 delivery by such Person of a written indemnity agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any

claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

In such event, (x) the term “Financing Commitment Letters” as used herein shall be deemed to include the Financing Commitment Letters that are

not so superseded at the time in question and the Alternative Financing Commitments to the extent then in effect, and (y) the term “Debt Financing” as used herein shall mean the debt financing contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letters as modified pursuant to the foregoing clause (x).

Section 5.07. Guaranty. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent has delivered to the Company the duly executed Guaranty. The Guaranty is in full force and effect as of the date hereof and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each Guarantor, enforceable against each Guarantor in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity). No event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of any Guarantor under the Guaranty.

Section 5.08. Solvency. Assuming (a) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Financing and the payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration, Warrant Consideration and other consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.06, (b) the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties in Article 4 hereof, (c) any estimates, projections or forecasts of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been prepared by them in good faith based upon assumptions that were and continue to be reasonable, (d) payment of all amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (e) payment of all related fees and expenses, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation will be Solvent as of the Effective Time and immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Solvent,” when used with respect to any Person, means that, as of any date of determination, (i) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, exceed (A) the value of all “liabilities of such Person, including contingent and other liabilities,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with Applicable Law governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, and (B) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Person on its existing debts (including contingent and other liabilities) as such debts become absolute and mature, (ii) such Person will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date and (iii) such Person will be able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature. For the purposes of this definition, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged” and “able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature” mean that such Person will be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancing, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they become due.

Section 5.09. Certain Arrangements. There are no Contracts or commitments to enter into Contracts (a) between Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Guarantors or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and any director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, or (b) pursuant to which any stockholder of the Company would be entitled to receive consideration of a different amount or nature than the Merger Consideration or pursuant

to which any stockholder of the Company agrees to vote to approve this Agreement or the Merger or agrees to vote against any Superior Proposal.

Section 6.03. Acquisition Proposals. (a) Subject to Sections 6.03(b), 6.03(c) and 6.03(f), (i) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries authorize or permit any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage (including by providing information in a manner designed to knowingly encourage) the submission of any Acquisition Proposal, (B) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, or furnish any confidential information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, any Third Party for the purpose of knowingly facilitating or encouraging (or which could reasonably be expected to facilitate or encourage) an Acquisition Proposal, (C) grant any waiver, amendment or release under any standstill or confidentiality agreement or (D) approve, endorse or enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar instrument relating to an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that is intended to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or requires the Company to abandon this Agreement (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) and (ii) neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall (A) fail to make, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw (or not continue to make), qualify or modify) in a manner adverse to Parent the Company Board Recommendation, (B) adopt, approve or recommend or propose to adopt, approve or recommend (publicly or otherwise) an Acquisition Proposal, (C) (x) fail to publicly recommend against any Acquisition Proposal or (y) fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Recommendation, in each case of (x) and (y) within five (5) Business Days after Parent so requests in writing, (D) fail to recommend against any Acquisition Proposal subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 within ten Business Days after the commencement of such Acquisition Proposal, or (E) fail to include the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company in favor of approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Merger in the Proxy Statement (any action described in the foregoing clauses (A) through (E), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, none of (1) the determination by the Board of Directors that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, (2) the disclosure by

the Company of such determination or (3) the delivery by the Company of the notice required by the last sentence of this Section 6.03 shall constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change).

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.03(a), if at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company or any of its Representatives has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from any Third Party that the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably believes could lead to a Superior Proposal, then the Company, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may (i) engage in negotiations or discussions with such Third Party and its Representatives and (ii) furnish to such Third Party or its Representatives non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided that the Company shall make available to Parent any material non-public information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries that is made available to such Third Party which was not previously made available to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is made available to such Third Party; provided further, that prior to taking any action described in Section 6.03(b)(i) or Section 6.03(b)(ii) above, (A) the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to violate its fiduciary duties to the holders of Company Stock under Applicable Law and (B) the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine in good faith, based on the information then available and after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal. Without modifying the generality of the foregoing, in making such determinations the Board of Directors of the Company shall take into consideration, among other factors: (x) whether such Third Party is reasonably likely to have adequate sources of financing or adequate funds to consummate such Acquisition Proposal and (y) whether such Third Party has given reasonable assurances that it will not propose obtaining financing or stockholder approval of such Third Party’s stockholders as a condition to its obligation to consummate such Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, in response to a material development or change in material circumstances occurring or arising after the date hereof, the existence and material consequences of which were not known by the Company Board of Directors at or prior to the date hereof (and not relating to any Acquisition Proposal, which shall be governed by Section 6.03(f)) (such material development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”) and after consultation with outside legal counsel that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to violate its fiduciary duties to the holders of Company Stock under Applicable Law, the Board of Directors of the Company may make an Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Intervening Event; provided that, if the Company is making an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to any such Intervening Event, then the Board of Directors shall not make such Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company has (i) provided to Parent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice that it intends to take such action and specifying in reasonable detail the facts underlying the decision by the Board of Directors of the Company to take such action and (ii) during such three Business Day period, if requested by Parent, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for such Adverse Recommendation Change.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 6.02 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under Applicable Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal, including taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) under the 1934 Act (or any similar communication to stockholders) or (ii) making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the 1934 Act; provided, however, the Company shall not effect, or disclose pursuant to such rules or otherwise a position which constitutes an Adverse Recommendation Change unless specifically permitted by this Section 6.03.

(e) The Company shall notify Parent promptly (and, in any event, within 36 hours) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall identify the Third Party making, and the material terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and (ii) the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a prompt basis of any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal (including any amendments thereto and any change in the Company’s intentions as previously notified) and shall provide copies of all correspondence and other written materials sent or provided to the Company or any of its Representatives relating to any such material developments, discussions or negotiations.

(f) Further, the Board of Directors of the Company shall not (i) make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i)) to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, unless (A) the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, (B) the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be reasonably likely to violate its fiduciary obligations under Applicable Law, (C) the Company shall have complied with its obligations under this Section 6.03 with respect to such Superior Proposal, (D) the Company promptly notifies Parent in writing, at least three Business Days before taking such action, of the determination of the Board of Directors of the Company that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and of its intention to take such action, attaching the most current version of the proposed agreement under which such Superior Proposal is proposed to be consummated and the identity of the Third Party making such Superior Proposal and, during such three Business Day period, the Company shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (if applicable) the Financing Commitment Letters and/or the Guaranty, so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any material amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notification from the Company and a new three Business Day period under this Section 6.03(f)).

(g) The Company agrees that in the event any of its Representatives takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 6.03, then the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 6.03.

(h) As used in this Agreement:

(i) “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means a confidentiality agreement that contains provisions that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal for at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Stock or all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith by a majority vote, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and after taking into consideration, among other things, all of the terms, conditions, impact and all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal and this Agreement, including financing, regulatory approvals, shareholder litigation, identity of the Third Party making the Acquisition Proposal (including whether stockholder approval of such Third Party is required), breakup fee and expense reimbursement provisions and other events or circumstances beyond the control of the Company, that such Acquisition Proposal would be, if consummated, more favorable to the holders of Company Stock (in their capacity as such) than the Merger (taking into account any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.03(f)).

Section 6.04. Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Effective Time and subject to Applicable Law and the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company shall (a) give to Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors, financing sources and other authorized representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the offices, properties, books, contracts, commitments and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (b) furnish to Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors, financing sources and other authorized representatives such existing financial and operating data and other existing information as such Persons may reasonably request and (c) instruct its employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives to reasonably cooperate with Parent in its investigation. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, furnish, to the extent prepared by the Company in the ordinary course of business, for the period beginning after the date of this Agreement and ending at the Effective Time, as soon as practicable after the end of each month, a copy of the monthly internally prepared financial statements of the Company, including statements of financial condition, results of operations, and statements of cash flow, and all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request. Any investigation pursuant to this Section shall be conducted under supervision of appropriate personnel of the Company and in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company.

Section 6.05. Financing Cooperation. (a) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to use their reasonable best efforts to, provide all cooperation that is customary in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing as may be reasonably requested in writing by Parent (provided that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries), including (i) participation in a reasonable number of meetings, due diligence

sessions, lender presentations, “road shows” and sessions with rating agencies, (ii) assisting with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing, (iii) furnishing Parent and its Debt Financing sources with such pertinent and customary information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, including information required under “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, all financial statements and projections and other pertinent information required by the Debt Commitment Letters, pro forma financial information, financial data, audit reports and other information of the type required by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K under the 1933 Act and of type and form customarily included in a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any applicable successor form) under the 1933 Act (all such information in this clause (iii) and in the immediately preceding clause (ii), the “Required Information”), (iv) obtaining accountants’ comfort letters, legal opinions, surveys and title insurance as reasonably requested in writing by Parent, (v) executing and delivering any customary commitment letters, underwriting or placement agreements, registration statements, pledge and security documents, other definitive financing documents or other requested certificates or documents, including, including, a customary solvency certificate by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (provided that (A) none of the letters, agreements, registration statements, documents and certificates shall be executed and delivered except in connection with the Closing, (B) the effectiveness thereof shall be conditioned upon, or become operative after, the occurrence of the Closing and (C) none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its Representatives shall be required to pay any commitment or other fee or incur any liability in connection with the Financing prior to the Effective Time and (D) no personal liability shall be imposed on the officers, directors, employees or agents involved), and (vi) obtaining any intellectual property assignment agreements relating to the Company Products, and making all necessary filings with governmental registration agencies to update ownership title in and to effectuate the release of any security interests granted in the Company Registered IP.

(b) Parent shall promptly, upon written request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred and documented by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation of the Company and its Subsidiaries contemplated by this Section 6.05 and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information used in connection therewith, except with respect to any information provided by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall obtain and fully pay the premium for a non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance”), in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period or time at or prior to the Effective Time (including claims with respect to the adoption of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby); provided that the Company shall give Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of such “tail” insurance policy and the Company shall give good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent with respect thereto; and provided that the cost per annum payable for such “tail” insurance policy shall not exceed 250% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full year of coverage (ending December 18, 2011) (which amount is set forth in Section 7.03(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) (such maximum amount, the “Maximum Tail Premium”) and if the cost for such “tail” insurance policy exceeds the Maximum Tail Premium, then the Company shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Tail Premium.

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys of its property and assets to any Person,

then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the applicable successor, assign or transferee shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.03 (including this Section 7.03(d)).

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 7.03 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under Delaware Law or any other Applicable Law, under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise. These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.03 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnified Person.

Section 7.04. Employee Matters. (a) For a period of 12 months following the Closing, with respect to United States employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately before the Effective Time who remain employed during the requisite period (“Company Employees”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide compensation and employee benefits that, taken as a whole, are comparable in the aggregate to those provided under the US Plans as of the date hereof, but excluding from such comparability requirement all equity-based compensation and benefits and change in control arrangements.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.04(a), from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, assume, honor and continue during the twelve-month period following the Effective Time or, if sooner, until all obligations thereunder have been satisfied, all of the Company’s employment, severance, CIC retention and termination plans and agreements that are set forth on Section 7.04(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, in each case, as in effect on the date hereof, 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), without any amendment or modification, other than any amendment or modification required to comply with Applicable Law or with the consent of the applicable Company Employee.

(c) With respect to any 401(k), vacation , paid-time off and severance plans maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates in which Company Employees are entitled to participate, for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, and vesting, each Company Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with the Surviving Corporation or its Affiliates; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits or compensation.

(d) The Surviving Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any health benefit plan maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates in which Company Employees (and their eligible dependents)

will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time and in the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Employee Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Surviving Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under any health benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time and in the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 11.06, nothing in this Section 7.04 or any other provision of this Agreement (i) shall create any right or remedy (including any third-party beneficiary right) in any Person, including any employees, former employees, any participant in any Employee Plan or any beneficiary thereof, nor create any right to employment or continued employment or any term or condition of employment with Parent, Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates, nor prevent or otherwise restrict the Surviving Corporation from terminating the employment of any Company Employee, (ii) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, contract or arrangement, or (iii) shall limit the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries) to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, contract or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, subject to a participants consent if required by the terms thereof.

Section 7.05. Financing. (a) Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitment Letters, and shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision under, the Financing Commitment Letters if such amendment, modification or waiver (i) reduces (or could have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount unless (A) the Debt Financing or the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount and (B) after giving effect to any of the transactions referred to in clause (A) above, the representation and warranty set forth in Section 5.08 shall be true) or (ii) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the Financing, or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any other provision of the Financing Commitment Letters in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) delay or prevent or make less likely the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the date of the Closing or (B) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Subsidiary to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Commitment Letters (provided that, subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 5.06(c), Parent and Merger Subsidiary may amend the Debt Commitment Letters to add additional lenders, arrangers, bookrunners and agents). Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification or replacement.

(b) Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall use its reasonable best efforts (i) to maintain in full force and effect the Financing Commitment Letters, (ii) to negotiate and enter

into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letters on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letters (or on terms no less favorable to Parent or Merger Subsidiary than the terms and conditions in the Debt Commitment Letters), (iii) to satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to funding in the Debt Commitment Letters and such definitive agreements with respect thereto and in the Equity Commitment Letter and to consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing and (iv) to comply with its obligations under the Financing Commitment Letters. Parent shall keep the Company informed on a current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing and provide to the Company copies of the material definitive agreements for the Debt Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall give the Company prompt notice (A) of any breach or default by any party to any of the Financing Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing of which Parent or Merger Subsidiary becomes aware, (B) of the receipt of (x) any written notice or (y) other written communication, in each case from any Financing source with respect to any (1) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any of the Financing Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing of any provisions of the Financing Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing or (2) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any of the Financing Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing with respect to the obligation to fund the Financing or the amount of the Financing to be funded at Closing and (C) if at any time for any reason Parent or Merger Subsidiary believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by any of the Financing Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing. As promptly as practicable, but in any event within two Business Days of the date the Company delivers to Parent or Merger Subsidiary a written request therefor, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the immediately preceding sentence. Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of the Financing, or any alternative financing, is not a condition to Closing.

(ii) In no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(d) Other Costs and Expenses.

(i) Each party acknowledges that (A) the agreements contained in this Section 11.04 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.04(b) or Section 11.04(c) are not a penalty but rather constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent or the Company, as the case may be, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) without these agreements, the parties would not have entered into this Agreement.

(e) Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to the Company’s rights set forth in Section 11.13, (i) the Company’s right to receive payment of an amount equal to the Parent Termination Fee from Parent or the Guarantors pursuant to the Guaranty in respect thereof shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company Related Parties against Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Guarantors, any of their respective former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) and the Financing Sources for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder (whether intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise) or otherwise and (ii) upon payment of such amount none of the Parent Related Parties or the Financing Sources shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Parent’s rights set forth in Section 11.04(d)(i) and 11.13, (A) Parent’s right to receive payment from the Company

of an amount equal to the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11.04(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Related Parties against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder (whether intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise)or otherwise and (B) upon payment of such amount(s), none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) under no circumstances will the Parent Related Parties or the Financing Sources be liable for monetary damages in excess of the amount of the Parent Termination Fee (and any amounts payable to the Company pursuant to Sections 6.05(b) and 11.04(d)) whether to the Company or any other Company Related Party and, with respect to the Financing Sources, the Financing Sources shall have no liability to the Company or any Company Related Party for any consequential, incidental, indirect or punitive damages, (2) while the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 11.13 and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee under Section 11.04(c), under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and money damages, including all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee and (3) at any time Parent shall have the right to satisfy in full any claim by the Company for money damages by consummating the Merger in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.05. Disclosure Schedule References. The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (b) any other representations and warranties of such party that is contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties would be readily apparent to a reasonable person who has read that reference and such representations and warranties, without any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter(s) so disclosed. The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

Section 11.06. Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as provided in Article 2 and Section 7.03, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that the Financing Sources (including any source of alternative financing that has been obtained in accordance with, and satisfies the conditions of, Section 7.05) shall be intended third parties beneficiaries of Sections 11.04(e), 11.06, 11.08, 11.09 and 11.13(b)(v) and shall be entitled to enforce such provisions directly (and no amendment or modification to such provisions in respect to the Financing Sources (including any source of alternative financing that has been obtained in accordance with, and satisfies the

conditions of, Section 7.05) may be made without the prior consent of the Financing Sources (including any source of alternative financing that has been obtained in accordance with, and satisfies the conditions of, Section 7.05)).

(b) No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto, except that Parent or Merger Subsidiary may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to (i) one or more of its Affiliates and/or to any parties providing the Financing pursuant to the terms thereof (including for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assign as collateral in respect of such Financing) at any time and (ii) after the Effective Time, to any Person; provided that such transfer or assignment shall not relieve Parent or Merger Subsidiary of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other party hereto or due to Parent or Merger Subsidiary. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 11.06(b) shall be null and void.

Section 11.07. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

Section 11.08. Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether brought by any party or any of its Affiliates or against any party or any of its Affiliates) shall be brought in the Delaware Chancery Court or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or other Delaware state court, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 11.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party. The parties hereto agree that a final trial court judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support, or permit any of its Affiliates to bring or support, any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing Commitment or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under Applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern

District of New York (and the appellate courts thereof), and that the provisions of Section 11.09 relating to the waiver of jury trial shall apply to any such action.

Section 11.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 11.10. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 11.11. Entire Agreement; No Other Representations and Warranties. (a) This Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Schedule and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

(b) Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article 4, each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledges that neither the Company nor any Person on behalf of the Company makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to any other information made available to Parent or Merger Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Parent or Merger Subsidiary, or Parent’s or Merger Subsidiary’s use of, any such information, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Parent or Merger Subsidiary in certain “data rooms” or management presentations in expectation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless, and then only to the extent that, any such information is expressly included in a representation or warranty contained in Article 4.

(c) Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article 5, the Company acknowledges that none of Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any other Person on behalf of Parent or Merger Subsidiary makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Parent or Merger Subsidiary or with respect to any other information made available to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall relieve any Person of liability for fraud or willful misconduct.

Section 11.12. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.13. Remedies.

(a) Remedies of Parent and Merger Subsidiary.

(i) Specific Performance. Prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 10, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall be entitled to seek and obtain an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Company in the courts described in Section 11.08 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, including the Company’s obligation to consummate the Merger.

(ii) Company Termination Fee. Parent shall be entitled to payment of the Company Termination Fee if and when payable pursuant to Section 11.04(b) hereof.

(iii) Termination. Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article 10 hereof.

(iv) Monetary Damages. Other than in the case of fraud, in no event shall Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any Parent Related Party have the right to seek or obtain money damages from the Company or any Company Related Party under this Agreement (whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) other than the right of Parent and Merger Subsidiary to payment of the Company Termination Fee or expense reimbursement as set forth in Section 11.04(e) above.

(b) Remedies of the Company.

(i) Specific Performance (Pre-Closing Covenants). Prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 10 and other than as it relates to the right to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to consummate the Merger (which are governed by the provisions of Section 11.13(b)(ii)), the Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Subsidiary in the courts described in Section 11.08 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

(ii) Specific Performance (Closing). Prior to a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 10 hereof, the Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain an injunction, specific performance and other equitable remedies to enforce Parent’s and Merger Subsidiary’s obligations to cause the Equity Financing to be funded

and to consummate the Merger only in the event that each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (i) the conditions set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied on the date the Closing should have been consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement but for the failure of the Equity Financing to be funded, (ii) the Debt Financing (including any alternative financing that has been obtained in accordance with, and satisfies the conditions of, Section 7.05) has been funded in accordance with the terms thereof or will be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing and (iii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Parent that if the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then it would take all such actions that are within its control to cause the Closing to occur. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically the Parent’s right to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to complete the Merger if the Debt Financing has not been funded (or will not be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing). In no event shall the Company be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement other than solely under the specific circumstances and as specifically set forth in this Section 11.13.

(iii) Parent Termination Fee. The Company shall be entitled to payment of the Parent Termination Fee if and when payable pursuant to Section 11.04(c) hereof.

(iv) Termination. The Company shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article 10 hereof.

(v) Monetary Damages. Other than in the case of fraud, in no event shall the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Company Related Party have the right to seek or obtain money damages or expense reimbursement (whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) from Parent, Merger Subsidiary, any Parent Related Party or any Financing Source under this Agreement other than the right of the Company to payment of the Parent Termination Fee as set forth in Section 11.04(c). In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company, each of its Subsidiaries and each Company Related Party hereby waive any claims against the Financing Sources and hereby agree that in no event shall the Financing Sources have any liability or obligation to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Company Related Party relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letters or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11.13 shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of Parent or Merger Subsidiary under the Debt Commitment Letters.

(c) Acknowledgement Regarding Available Remedies. Solely to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 11.13, the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such

provisions. Solely to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 11.13, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 11.08 without proof of damages or otherwise, and that such explicit rights of specific enforcement are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without such rights, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 11.13. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 11.13) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.
