WHEREAS, each outstanding share of common stock, without par value, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock” or “Company Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of California, together with all amendments and additions thereto (“California Law”) (other than Company Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting Shares);

WHEREAS, Parent intends to enter into Voting Agreements with the directors and executive officers of the Company pursuant to which such shareholders, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, have agreed to vote or cause to be voted all of the Company Shares beneficially owned by such shareholders for the approval of the Merger and this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and the Transactions and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

The Merger

1.1 The Merger. On the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with California Law, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, sometimes being referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation”), such that immediately following the Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger shall have the effect provided in this Agreement and as specified in the California Law.

1.2 Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., California time, as soon as practicable (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all conditions set forth in ARTICLE VIII (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 hereunder, waiver of all such conditions), unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to ARTICLE IX hereof or unless another time or date is agreed to in writing by the Parties hereto. The Closing shall be held at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the Parties hereto, and the actual date of the Closing is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”

1.3 Effective Time. On the Closing Date, the Parties shall (a) cause an agreement of merger satisfying the applicable requirements of the California Law and otherwise in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, but subject to any changes as may be required by the Secretary of State of the State of California and agreed to by Parent and the Company (the “Agreement of Merger”) to be duly executed by the Company and Merger Sub and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, together with the officer’s certificate required by the California Law, and (b) make any other filings, recordings or publications required to be made by the Company or Merger Sub under the California Law in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Agreement of Merger is duly filed and accepted by the Secretary of State of the State of California or on such later date and time as shall be agreed to by the Company and Parent and specified in the Agreement of Merger (such date and time being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

1.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth herein and in the applicable provisions of the California Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, from and after the Effective Time, all property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, licenses and authority of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.5 Governing Documents. The Company Articles shall, by virtue of the Merger, be amended and restated so as to read in its entirety in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and, as so amended and restated, shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law. The Company Bylaws shall, by virtue of the Merger, be amended and restated to conform to the bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and as such shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

1.6 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. The Parties shall take all actions necessary so that (a) the directors of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until their successors shall have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and (b) the officers of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until their successors shall have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE II

Effect of Merger on Company Securities

2.1 Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or holders of any securities of the Parties, subject to Section 2.1(d), each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding Company Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and any Dissenting Shares) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive $17.00 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). From and after the Effective Time, all such Company Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each applicable holder of such Company Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Company Shares in accordance with Section 2.2.

(b) Cancellation of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, all Company Shares owned by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or by any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Treatment of Merger Sub Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, without par value per share, of Merger Sub shall be automatically converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately, without duplication, to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time so as to provide Parent and the holder of Company Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.1(d) shall be construed to permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

2.2 Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates

(a) Paying Agent Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent or Merger Sub shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the paying agent in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”). The Paying Agent shall also act as the agent for the Company’s shareholders for the purpose of receiving and holding their Certificates and Book-Entry Shares and shall obtain no rights or interests in the shares represented thereby. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger

Consideration payable to all holders of Company Common Stock (including Company Common Stock to be issued prior to the Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.4) (such cash amount, the “Paying Agent Fund”), in each case, for the sole benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock. In the event the Paying Agent Fund shall be insufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, Parent shall, or shall cause Merger Sub to, promptly deposit additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to make, and the Paying Agent shall make, delivery of the Merger Consideration, out of the Paying Agent Fund in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Procedures for Surrender. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the Paying Agent to mail (and make available for collection by hand) to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares (the “Certificates”) or non-certificated Company Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) and whose Company Shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a 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 (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Company Shares pursuant to Section 2.1. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, together with such letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE II for each Company Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share. All such amounts shall be mailed (or made available for collection by hand if so elected by the surrendering holder) within five (5) Business Days following the Paying Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, letter of transmittal and such other documents, and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent to payment that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax either has been paid or is not payable. Any other transfer or similar Taxes incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Parent. Payment of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration as contemplated by this ARTICLE II, without interest thereon.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registrations of transfers of Company Shares on the records of the Company, other than registrations of transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Paying Agent Fund; No Liability. At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) remaining in the Paying Agent Fund that have not been disbursed, or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Paying Agent’s routine administrative procedures, to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation and Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the applicable Merger Consideration, payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(b), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration or other amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof and, if required by Parent or the Paying Agent, the posting by such holder of a bond in such amount as Parent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to any such Certificates, the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof.

2.3 Dissenters’ Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares, if any, as to which the holder thereof shall have (i) properly demanded that the Company purchase such Company Shares for fair market value in accordance with, and otherwise complied with, the provisions of Chapter 13 of the California Law (“Chapter 13”) and (ii) not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s rights to demand purchase for such Company Shares for fair market value pursuant to Chapter 13 (each, a “Dissenting Share”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1, but instead at the Effective Time shall become entitled only to payment of the fair value of such Company Shares determined in accordance with Chapter 13 (it being understood and acknowledged that at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares as determined in accordance with Chapter 13); provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares under Chapter 13, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, without interest or duplication, the Merger Consideration.

(b) The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for the purchase of any Company Shares pursuant to Chapter 13, of any withdrawals of such demands and of any other instruments served and received by the Company under Chapter 13, and Parent shall have the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

2.4 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) All options to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Options”) and other equity awards (collectively, “Company Equity Awards”) that were granted under the Company’s stock plans, including the Company’s Amended and Restated 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended), the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company’s 2014 Stock Award and Incentive

Compensation Plan, or any other equity plan, agreement or arrangement other than the Company ESPP (as defined below) (collectively, the “Company Stock Plans”) prior to the Effective Time, which are outstanding as of the Capitalization Date, are set forth in Section 2.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, together with the holder’s name, the date of grant, the type of award, the number of Company Shares originally granted and number of outstanding shares subject to the Company Equity Award, the vesting schedule, any expiration date, and any per Company Share exercise price or purchase price.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) will adopt resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each unexpired and unexercised Company Option which is vested as of the Effective Time (the “Vested Options”) will be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Vested Option will only be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Vested Option and in full settlement therefor, a payment in cash of an amount equal to the product of (A) the total number of unexercised Company Shares subject to such Vested Option as of the time of cancellation of the Company Option (the “Vested Unexercised Shares”), and (B) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Vested Unexercised Share (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Option Payments”); and (ii) each unexpired and unexercised Company Option which is not vested as of the Effective Time (the “Unvested Options”) and which is held by an individual who is rendering continuous service to the Company or its Subsidiaries through the Effective Time and who is eligible to be included on a registration statement filed by Parent on Form S-8 will be canceled and replaced by Parent and become an award of restricted stock units covering shares of Parent Stock (“Parent RSUs”) issued under the Parent Stock Plan, on generally the same terms and conditions (including the applicable vesting requirements and the terms and conditions set forth on Section 2.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) as applied to each such Unvested Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that each such Parent RSU award shall cover that whole number of shares of Parent Stock (rounded down) equal to the product of (A) the total number of unexercised Company Shares subject to such Unvested Option as of the time of cancellation of the Unvested Option multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per unexercised share subject to such Unvested Option and then divided by (C) the VWAP of Parent Stock and (iii) each Unvested Option held by an individual who is rendering continuous service to the Company or its Subsidiaries through the Effective Time but who is not eligible to be included on a registration statement filed by Parent on Form S-8 will vest as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and be treated as a Vested Option. Upon the terms set forth herein, the new award issued in exchange for the Unvested Options shall be made pursuant to Parent’s form of stock option or restricted stock unit agreement as applicable. From and after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Company Option will no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) will adopt resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each outstanding award of restricted stock units or performance share units granted pursuant to any Company Stock Plan which is vested as of the Effective Time (the “Vested Company RSUs”), will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a payment equal to the Merger Consideration and the amount of any declared but unpaid dividends with respect to such Vested Company RSU; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no holder of a Vested Company RSU shall be entitled to any payment whatsoever in respect of the August 2015 Dividend (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Vested RSU Payments”), (ii) each outstanding award of restricted stock units or performance share units granted pursuant to any Company Stock Plan which is not vested prior to the Effective Time (the “Unvested Company RSUs” and, together with the Vested Company RSUs, the “Company RSUs”) that is held by an individual who is rendering continuous service to the Company or its Subsidiaries through the Effective Time and who is eligible to be included on a registration statement filed by Parent on Form S-8 will be canceled and replaced by Parent and become a Parent RSU issued under the Parent Stock Plan, on generally the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting requirements (other than performance-vesting requirements which will be deemed satisfied at “maximum” achievement) and deferral provisions) as applied to each such Unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, with respect to the number of shares of Parent Stock, rounded down to the nearest

whole share of Parent Stock, that is equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Merger Consideration by (y) the VWAP of Parent Stock; and (iii) each Unvested Company RSU held by an individual who is rendering continuous service to the Company or its Subsidiaries through the Effective Time but who is not eligible to be included on a registration statement filed by Parent on Form S-8 will vest (treating for this purposes any performance-based vesting condition to which such Company RSU is subject as having been attained at “maximum” level) and be cancelled in exchange for the right to the right to receive a payment equal to the Merger Consideration (such amounts payable hereunder, together with the Vested RSU Payments, the “RSU Payments”). Upon the terms set forth herein, the new award issued in exchange for the Unvested Company RSUs shall be made pursuant to Parent’s form of restricted stock unit grant agreement.

(d) Parent shall, to the extent legally required, file, no later than the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) under the Securities Act to register shares of Parent Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.4(c).

(e) Any Option Payment or RSU Payment to which a current or former employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries becomes entitled pursuant Section 2.4(b) or Section 2.4(c) shall be made through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll on the next regularly scheduled payroll after the Effective Time, in the case of the Vested RSU Payments, and on the next regularly scheduled payroll after each vesting event, in the case of the Unvested RSU Payments.

(f) As of the Effective Time, all Company Stock Plans will be terminated, and no further Company Options, Company RSUs or other rights with respect to Company Shares will be granted thereunder.

(g) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company’s 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the “Company ESPP”) shall be terminated and no further options or other rights with respect to Company Shares will be granted thereunder. The rights of participants in the Company ESPP with respect to any offering period then underway under such Company ESPP shall be determined by treating the last Business Day prior to, or if more administratively advisable, the last payroll date of the Company immediately prior to, the Effective Time or such earlier date as the Company ESPP administrator may determine as permitted under the terms of the Company ESPP (the “Final Exercise Date”), as the last day of such offering period and by making such other pro-rata adjustments as may be necessary to reflect the shortened offering period but otherwise treating such shortened offering period as a fully effective and completed offering period for all purposes under the Company ESPP. On the Final Exercise Date, the funds credited as of such date under the Company ESPP within the associated accumulated payroll withholding account for each participant under the Company ESPP shall be used to purchase Company Shares in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP, and each Company Share purchased thereunder immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1.

(h) The Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the provisions set forth in this Section 2.4, including without limitation any necessary amendments to any Contracts or other instruments and the delivery of all required notice, as applicable.

2.5 Withholding. Each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Paying Agent to deduct and withhold, from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares and from any payments under Section 2.4 such amounts as Parent, Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. Except for U.S. federal backup withholding and regular payroll withholding associated with payments under Section 2.4, before making any such deduction or withholding, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall give the Company notice of the intention to make such deduction or withholding, and such notice, which shall include the authority, basis

and method of calculation for the proposed deduction or withholding, shall be given at least a commercially reasonable period of time before such deduction or withholding is required, in order for the Company to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

The Company has no secured creditors whose approval of the Merger is required under the Laws of the State of California.

3.5 Company Reports; Financial Statements.

(a) The Company has filed or furnished, as applicable, on a timely basis, all forms, statements, certifications, reports and documents required to be filed or furnished by it with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Securities Act since June 30, 2014 (the “Applicable Date” and the forms, statements, reports and documents filed or furnished since the Applicable Date and those filed or furnished subsequent to the date of the Agreement, including any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Company Reports”). No Subsidiary of the Company is required to file or furnish any periodic reports with the SEC. Each of the Company Reports, at the time of its filing or being furnished complied or, if not yet filed or furnished, will comply when filed or furnished, in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, applicable accounting standards and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002 (as amended and including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company Reports. As of their respective dates (or, if amended prior to the date of the Agreement, as of the date of such amendment), the Company Reports did not, and any Company Reports filed with or furnished to the SEC subsequent to the date of the Agreement will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent corrected by a subsequently filed Company Report prior to the date hereof.

(b) The Company maintains internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15, as applicable, under the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements.

(c) Each of the consolidated balance sheets included in or incorporated by reference into the Company Reports (including the related notes and schedules) fairly presents, or, in the case of Company Reports filed after the date of the Agreement, will fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of its date, and each of the consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows included in or incorporated by reference into the Company Reports (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presents, or in the case of Company Reports filed after

(d) The Company has implemented disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are reasonably designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, required to be included in reports filed under the Exchange Act is made known to the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company or other Persons performing similar functions by others within those entities. Neither the Company nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has identified or been made aware of “significant deficiencies” or “material weaknesses” (as defined by the Public Company Account Oversight Board) in the design or operation of the Company’s internal controls and procedures which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data, in each case which has not been subsequently remediated. To the Company’s Knowledge, there is no fraud, whether or not material, that involves the Company’s management or other employees who have a significant role in the internal control over financial reporting utilized by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

3.6 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as disclosed in the Company Reports, from the Company Balance Sheet Date to the date of this Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries have conducted their respective businesses only in the ordinary course (except for the execution and performance of this Agreement and the discussions, negotiations and transactions related thereto) and during such period there has not been any event, occurrence, development or state of circumstances or facts that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

3.7 No Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material obligations or liabilities of a type (matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent, including any obligations to issue capital stock or other securities of the Company) required to be reflected on the face of a consolidated balance sheet of the Company prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP due after the date of the Agreement, other than (a) those set forth or adequately provided for in the Company Balance Sheet, (b) those incurred in the ordinary course of business since the Company Balance Sheet date, (c) those that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and (d) those incurred in connection with or arising as a result of the negotiation or execution of this Agreement or consummation of the Transactions.

To the Knowledge of the Company, as of the date of the Agreement, there is no Judgment imposed upon the Company, any of its officers or directors

(in their capacities as such), any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, that would prevent, enjoin, alter or materially delay any of the Transactions, or that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. To the Knowledge of the Company, as of the date of the Agreement, neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor any director or officer thereof (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim or violation of or liability under the securities Laws of any Governmental Entity or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty.

Unless otherwise stipulated herein or disclosed in the Company Reports, the Company, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (in each case, in their capacity as such and to the extent required to comply with the terms of such Company Material Permits) have complied with all terms of such Company Material Permits except where instances of such noncompliance have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. To the Knowledge of the Company, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under any of such Company Material Permits and no event has occurred and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default thereunder, except, in each case, for any such default that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any of the other documents contemplated hereby or thereby nor the consummation of the Transactions or compliance by the Company and its Subsidiaries with any of the provisions hereof or thereof will result in any suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any Company Material Permit applicable to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

3.10 Title to Properties.

(a) Real Property. The Company has made available to Parent (i) an accurate and complete list of all real properties with respect to which the Company directly or indirectly holds a valid leasehold interest as well as any other real estate that is in the possession of or leased by the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Real Property”), and (ii) copies of all leases under which any such Real Property is possessed (the “Real Estate Leases”). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under any of the Real Estate Leases, except where such defaults have not had and would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, and to the Knowledge of the Company, there is no default by any of the lessors thereunder.

All Tangible Personal Property is free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens, and is in a condition materially adequate and suitable for the purposes for which it is presently being used, subject to reasonable ordinary wear and tear except, in each case, which, individually or in the aggregate, has not resulted and would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has granted any lease, sublease, tenancy or license of any portion of the Tangible Personal Property for which the annual rental payments exceed $100,000.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would be reasonably likely to jeopardize the protection of attorney-client privilege or contravene any Law (it being agreed that the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such jeopardy or contravention). No investigation shall affect the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein, or limit or otherwise affect the remedies available to Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Parent and the Company shall comply with, and shall cause their respective Representatives to comply with, all of their respective obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth in ARTICLE IX of this Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth therein. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information obtained by Parent or any of its Representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 5.2.

5.3 Insurance. Through the Closing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with past practices to maintain insurance policies existing as of the date of this Agreement providing insurance coverage for the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged and the assets and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries of the kinds, in the amounts and against the risks as are commercially reasonable for such businesses and risks covered and for the geographic areas where the Company and its Subsidiaries engage in such businesses.

5.4 Fulfillment of Conditions. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to fulfill the conditions specified in ARTICLE VIII to the extent that the fulfillment of such conditions is within its control. The foregoing obligation includes (a) executing and delivering documents necessary or desirable to consummate the Transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) taking or refraining from such actions as may be necessary or requested by Parent in order to fulfill such conditions.

5.5 Disclosure of Certain Matters. From the date of the Agreement through the Closing Date, the Company shall give Parent prompt written notice of any event or development that occurs that (a) is of a nature that would have or reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, or (b) would require any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement.

5.6 Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Notices and Consents.

(a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all material Consents that are or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and will reasonably cooperate with Parent in promptly seeking to obtain all such Consents, including, but not limited to any matters involving Government Antitrust Entities.

(b) The Company shall give promptly such notices to third parties and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such third party Consents as are required to consummate the Transactions.

(c) The Company shall cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist any other Party in giving such notices and obtaining such Consents as are required to consummate the Transactions.

(d) Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or desirable to cause the conditions to the obligations of the other parties hereunder to be satisfied and to consummate the Transactions, including making all necessary filings (including filings under the HSR Act) with any Government Antitrust Entity, and obtaining all necessary waivers, clearances, Consents and approvals from, and taking all steps to avoid any Action or proceeding by, any Government Antitrust Entity.

(e) To the extent required, each of the Parties will use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare and file, or cause to be promptly prepared and filed, with the appropriate Government Antitrust Entity not later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement (unless otherwise mutually agreed among the Parties) a notification with respect to the Transactions pursuant to the HSR Act in which each requests early termination of the waiting period thereunder. Each of the Parties shall respond, as promptly as reasonably practicable to all information requests from a Government Antitrust Entity under the HSR Act, and shall reasonably cooperate with each other in responding to any such request. Each of the Parties will furnish to the other (or its outside counsel) and, upon request, to any Government Antitrust Entity, such information and assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the foregoing, including by responding promptly to and complying fully with any request for additional information or documents under the HSR Act; provided, that in no event shall a Party be obligated to provide the other Parties any portion of the information and materials it furnishes to a Government Antitrust Entity in connection with its HSR filing that is not customarily furnished to the other Parties to a transaction in connection with HSR Act filings. Each of the Parties will use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve favorably any review or consideration of the antitrust aspects of the Transactions by any Government Antitrust Entity with jurisdiction over the enforcement of any applicable Antitrust Laws. Each of the Parties shall promptly inform the other Parties of any communication to or from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”), or any other Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions. Each of the Parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and will consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any communication, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion, proposal, or other submission made to a Government Antitrust Entity in connection with any investigation or proceeding under the HSR Act relating to the Transactions. Except as may be prohibited by any Government Antitrust Entity, in connection with any investigation or proceeding under the HSR Act concerning the Transactions, each of the Parties shall permit Representatives of the other Parties to be present and participate in all meetings, conferences, or other communications with a Government Antitrust Entity relating to any such proceeding or investigation.

(f) In furtherance and not in limitation of the efforts referred to above in this Section 5.6, if any objections are asserted with respect to the Transactions under the HSR Act, or if any Action, suit or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity or any third party challenging the Transactions or that would otherwise prohibit or materially impair or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections or actions, suits or proceedings so as to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as expeditiously as possible.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 5.6, none of Parent or its Affiliates shall be obligated to: (i) offer, negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, trust or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any material portion of its capital stock, assets, rights, products or businesses; (ii) agree to any material restrictions on the activities of Parent or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company); (iii) waive any material rights to which they are entitled; (iv) defend, commence or prosecute any Action; or (v) take any other action to prevent, effect the dissolution of, vacate, or lift any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order, or other order in any suit or proceeding that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the consummation of the Transactions.

(h) The Company shall cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Parent and its Affiliates in the preparation of a notification for submission to the appropriate PRC Governmental Entity as provided in SAT Notice [2015] No. 7 in connection with indirect transfer of any PRC Subsidiary of the Company that would occur as a result of the Merger (the “Announcement 7 Notification”). The Parties contemplate that Parent will cause the Announcement 7 Notification to be filed with the appropriate PRC Governmental Entity within thirty (30) days following the Closing.

5.7 No Solicitation.

(a) Subject to Section 5.7(c), Section 5.7(e) and Section 5.7(f), from the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth in ARTICLE IX of this Agreement (the “Exclusivity Period”), the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and shall not authorize or knowingly permit its employees, directors, officers or Representatives to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage the submission of any Acquisition Proposal, or the making of any proposal that is reasonably expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, from any Person other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates or Representatives or (i) conduct or engage in any discussions (other than to describe its obligations under this Section 5.7(a)) or negotiations with, disclose any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by, any third party (other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates or Representatives) in furtherance of or for the purpose of obtaining an Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) enter into any agreement or other Contract with any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates or Representatives) relating to any Acquisition Proposal (except for an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”).

(b) Subject to Section 5.7(c), Section 5.7(e) and Section 5.7(f), during the Exclusivity Period, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (ii) withdraw, amend, modify or materially qualify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation, (iii) publicly recommend an Acquisition Proposal to the Company’s shareholders, (iv) fail to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer for the Company Shares within five (5) Business Days after the commencement of such offer or fail to reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within three (3) Business Days following Parent’s reasonable request therefor, or (v) resolve or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (any of the foregoing, a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”). The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to cease immediately and cause to be terminated, and shall not authorize or knowingly permit any of its or their Representatives to continue, any and all discussions or negotiations, if any, with any third party (other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates or Representatives) ongoing as of the date of the Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and shall instruct any such third party (or its agents or advisors) that has in the twelve (12) months prior to the date of this Agreement executed a confidentiality agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal with or for the benefit of the Company to promptly return or destroy, in accordance with the terms of such confidentiality agreement, all non-public information in respect of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that was furnished by or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 5.7(a), at any time prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board, directly or indirectly through any Representative, may, subject to Section 5.7(d), (i) participate in negotiations or discussions concerning an Acquisition Proposal with, and only with, a third party (or such third party’s Representatives) that has made (and not withdrawn) an Acquisition Proposal in writing that the Company Board believes in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and the Company Financial Advisor, constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, (ii) thereafter furnish to such third party non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement that constitutes an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (a copy of which confidentiality agreement shall be promptly (in any event within one (1) Business Day) provided for informational purposes only to Parent), (iii) following receipt of and on account of a Superior Proposal, make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, and/or (iv) take any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders the Company to take (which order remains unstayed), but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), only if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company Board from (i) disclosing to the Company’s shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a)

promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s shareholders that the Company Board determines, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, is required in order to fulfill its fiduciary duties under, or in order to otherwise comply with, applicable Law; provided, however, that any such statement(s) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall not constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change for the Company Board to make a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d9-f or any statement to similar effect.

(d) The Company Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 5.7(c) unless the Company shall have delivered to Parent a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action. The Company shall notify Parent promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) orally and in writing (which may be by email) after it obtains Knowledge of the receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal or any request that is received after the date of this Agreement from any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates or Representatives) for non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, related to an Acquisition Proposal or, to the Knowledge of the Company, that is to be used for the purposes of making an Acquisition Proposal. In such notice, the Company shall identify the third party making, and details of the material terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal or request. The Company shall notify Parent promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) of any material amendments or proposed amendments as to price and other material terms thereof. Furthermore, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) after receipt or delivery thereof, provide Parent (or its outside counsel) with copies of all material transaction agreements accompanying such Acquisition Proposal or request (including any written, or electronic material to the extent such material contains any financial terms, conditions or other material terms relating to any Acquisition Proposal, including the financing thereof). The Company shall provide Parent with at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice of any meeting of the Company Board (or such lesser notice as is provided to the members of the Company Board) at which the Company Board is reasonably expected to consider any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly provide Parent with copies of any non-public information concerning the Company’s business, present or future performance, financial condition or results of operations, provided by or on behalf of the Company to any third party in accordance with Section 5.7(c), to the extent such information has not been previously provided to Parent or its Representatives. The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any Contract with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement that prohibits the Company from providing the information described in Section 5.7(c) or this Section 5.7(d) to Parent.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.7(a) or Section 5.7(b), at any time prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change for a reason unrelated to a Superior Proposal if the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, in light an Intervening Event and taking into account the results of any negotiations with, and any offer from, Parent as contemplated by Section 5.7(f) below, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement in order to enter into (or permit any Subsidiary of the Company to enter into) a Company Acquisition Agreement, if:

(1) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing, at least three (3) Business Days (the “Notice Period”) before making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change (or, in the case of a Superior Proposal, entering into (or causing a Subsidiary of the Company to enter into) a Company Acquisition Agreement), of its intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Proposal, which notice shall state expressly that the Company has either (A) received an Acquisition Proposal that the Company

Board intends to declare a Superior Proposal or (B) recognized the occurrence of an Intervening Event, and that the Company Board intends to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or the Company intends to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect thereto, as applicable;

(2) with respect to a Superior Proposal, the Company attaches to such notice the most current version of any written proposed agreement providing for the transaction contemplated by such Superior Proposal (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis) and the identity of the third party making such Superior Proposal;

(3) the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that (A) such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal if Parent, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments in a manner that would form a binding Contract if accepted by the Company (it being agreed that, with respect to a Superior Proposal, in the event that, after commencement of the Notice Period, there is any material revision to the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal, including, any revision in price, the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) Business Days remain in the Notice Period subsequent to the time the Company notifies Parent of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions)) or (B) the Company Board’s fiduciary duty to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of an Intervening Event would be obviated, as applicable; and

(4) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel and the Company Financial Advisor, that (A) such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal or (B) the Company Board’s fiduciary duty to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of an Intervening Event would remain, as applicable, after taking into account any adjustments made by Parent during the Notice Period in the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(g) The Company shall keep confidential any proposals made by Parent to revise the terms of this Agreement, other than in the event of any amendment to this Agreement or to the extent required by applicable Law to be disclosed.

(h) The Company agrees that any action taken by a Company Representative that, if taken by the Company, would constitute a material breach of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.7 shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Section 5.7 by the Company.

(i) No Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall change the approval of the Company Board for purposes of causing any takeover Law to be applicable to the Transactions.

5.8 Preparation of the Proxy Statement.

(a) Within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare, in consultation with Parent, and cause to be filed with the SEC the Proxy Statement in preliminary form. Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish all information concerning itself, its Affiliates and the holders of its shares to the other and provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no responsibility with respect to information or statements made or incorporated by reference in the Proxy Statement which were based on information supplied by or on behalf of Parent.

(b) The Company shall promptly notify Parent upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement, and shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, and all written comments with respect to the Proxy Statement received by the Company from the SEC and advise Parent of any oral comments with respect to

the Proxy Statement received from the SEC. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments from the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement. Parent shall and shall cause its Representatives to assist and cooperate with the Company and its Representatives in the resolution of any such comments from the SEC related thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing the preliminary or definitive draft of the Proxy Statement with the SEC, mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response in advance (including the proposed final version of such document or response) and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments provided by Parent or any of its Representatives with respect thereto.

(c) If, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, any information relating to the Company or Parent, respectively, or any of their respective Affiliates, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or Parent, respectively, should be set forth in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Proxy Statement, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties, and the Company and Parent shall cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment of, or supplement to, the Proxy Statement and, to the extent required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to shareholders of the Company. Nothing in this Section 5.8(c) shall limit the obligations of any Party under Section 5.8(b).

(d) For purposes of this Section 5.8, any information concerning or related to the Company, its Affiliates or the Company Shareholder Meeting will be deemed to have been provided by the Company, and any information concerning or related to Parent or its Affiliates will be deemed to have been provided by Parent.

(e) The Company shall bear all of all fees and expenses, other than attorneys’ fees, incurred by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the filing, printing and mailing of the Proxy Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto.

5.9 Company Shareholder Meeting.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall, in accordance with applicable Law and the Company Articles and Company Bylaws, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholder Meeting. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the shareholders of the Company entitled to vote at the Company Shareholder Meeting and to hold the Company Shareholder Meeting as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company shall, through the Company Board of Directors, recommend to its shareholders that they give the Company Shareholder Approval, include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement and solicit and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval, except in each case to the extent that the Company Board of Directors shall have made a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.9, if:

(1) on a date for which the Company Shareholder Meeting is scheduled, the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock (A) to conduct business at the meeting or (B) to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present;

(2) the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholder Meeting by applicable Law, order or a request from the SEC or its staff; or

(3) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that it is necessary or appropriate to postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholder Meeting, including in order to give the Company’s shareholders sufficient time

to evaluate any information or disclosure that the Company has sent to the shareholders of the Company or otherwise made available to the shareholders of the Company (including in connection with any Company Adverse Recommendation Change);

then, the Company shall have the right to make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Company Shareholder Meeting. Once the Company has established a record date for the Company Shareholder Meeting, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless, following consultation with Parent, required to do so by applicable Law or the Company Articles or Company Bylaws. Without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the approval of this Agreement, the adjournment of the Company Shareholder Meeting, as necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes in favor of approval of this Agreement, and the advisory vote required by Rule 14a-21(c) under the Exchange Act shall be the only matters (other than matters of procedure and matters required by applicable Law to be voted on by the Company’s shareholders in connection with the approval of this Agreement) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the shareholders of the Company at the Company Shareholder Meeting.

(b) The Company will use reasonable best efforts to hold the Company Shareholder Meeting as soon as practicable after the Proxy Statement is mailed to the Company’s shareholders.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless this Agreement has been previously terminated in full compliance with ARTICLE IX, the Company agrees that (i) its obligation to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholder Meeting shall not be affected by any Change of Board Recommendation and (ii) its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal). Unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with ARTICLE IX, the Company agrees that it shall not submit to the vote of the shareholders of the Company any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal) prior to the vote of the shareholders of the Company with respect to the Merger at the Company Shareholder Meeting.

5.10 Disposition of Company Equity Awards. The Company Board, or a committee thereof consisting of Non-Employee Directors (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act), shall adopt resolutions in advance of the Effective Time providing that, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the disposition of any Company Common Stock or Company Equity Awards and/or receipt of Parent Stock by Exchange Act Section 16 reporting persons is intended to be exempt from Exchange Act Section 16(b) liability pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE VI

Additional Covenants of Parent

6.1 Fulfillment of Conditions. From the date of the Agreement to the Closing Date, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to fulfill the conditions specified in ARTICLE VIII. The foregoing obligation includes, without limitation, (a) executing and delivering documents as are necessary or desirable to consummate the Transactions, (b) taking or refraining from such actions as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the Company to fulfill such conditions (including using its reasonable best efforts to conduct the business of Parent and the Merger Sub in such manner that on the Closing Date the representations and warranties of Parent contained herein shall be accurate as though then made).

6.2 Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Notices and Consents. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all authorizations, Consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental Entities and officials that may be

or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and shall cooperate fully with the Company in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, Consents, orders and approvals (and in such regard use reasonable best efforts to cause the relevant Government Entities to permit the Company and/or its counsel to participate in the conversation and correspondence with such Government Authorities together with Parent’s counsel). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.2 shall be in furtherance of, and not in limitation of, any of Parent’s obligations under Section 5.6.

6.3 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company or its Subsidiaries now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of the Agreement or who becomes prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries (each an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Company Articles and Company Bylaws or similar governing documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other Contracts in effect on the date of the Agreement and disclosed in Section 6.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Indemnification Contracts”) (or with respect to Persons who become a director or officer of the Company prior to the Effective Time, in a form substantially similar the Indemnification Contracts) for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger) shall be honored by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries and shall survive the Merger and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under any and such Indemnification Contracts.

(b) For six years after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and any successor to the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its successor to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, Judgments and fines arising directly or indirectly, in whole or in part out of actions or omissions in their capacity as such occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement), and shall advance and/or reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, Judgments and fines as the same are incurred, subject to the Surviving Corporation’s receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party to repay such legal and other fees and expenses paid in advance if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable Judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation will not be liable for any settlement effected without the Surviving Corporation’s prior written Consent (which Consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Company’s current directors and officers an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is no less favorable than the Company’s existing policy as of the date of this Agreement or, if insurance coverage that is no less favorable is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement or, if less, the cost of a policy providing coverage on the same terms as the Company’s existing policy as of the date of this Agreement; provided, further, that the Company may prior to the Effective Time substitute therefor a single premium tail coverage with respect to D&O Insurance, in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent, with an annual cost not in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement.

(d) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.3 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.3 applies without the Consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.3 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.3, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.3).

(e) In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or licenses all or substantially all of its properties and assets (including Intellectual Property Rights) to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that each of such successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.3 to the extent of the assets transferred to such successor or assign. The agreements and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or its officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.3 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

6.4 Employee Benefit Matters

(a) For a period of one year following the Effective Time, Parent will provide, or will cause to be provided, to those employees of the Company who continue to be employed by Parent and its Subsidiaries, including, following the Closing, the Company (individually, a “Continuing Employee” and collectively, “Continuing Employees”) with: (i) cash compensation, including base salary rate and commission and target bonus opportunity, no lower than the cash compensation provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) equity awards set forth on Section 6.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, with respect to fiscal year 2016 awards previously approved by the Company, and (iii) health and welfare benefits on terms at least as favorable, in the aggregate, as the health and welfare benefits provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) To the extent Parent elects to have Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents participate in its employee benefit plans, program or policies following the Effective Time, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to use commercially reasonable efforts to, treat, and cause the applicable benefit plans in which Continuing Employees are entitled to participate to treat, the service of Continuing Employees with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or any of their predecessors to the extent previously recognized by the Company as of the date hereof attributable to any period before the Effective Time as service rendered to Parent, the Surviving Corporation, any Subsidiary of Parent for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and for other appropriate benefits including the applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation, but excluding benefit accrual (including minimum pension amount), equity incentive plans and eligibility for early retirement under any benefit plan of Parent or eligibility for retiree welfare benefit plans or as would otherwise result in a duplication of benefits. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall cause any actively at work or similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements or required physical examinations under any health or similar plan of Parent to be waived with respect to Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents. Parent shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any deductibles paid by Continuing Employees under any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ health plans in the plan year in which Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents are transitioned to Parent’s health or similar plans to be credited towards deductibles under the health plans of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent.

(c) For the terms of the agreements or arrangements, Parent shall cause the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to honor, in accordance with their terms, the employment, severance and change in control agreements and arrangements that are listed on Section 6.4(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement will require the continued employment of any Person, and except as expressly set forth in this Section 6.4, no provision of this Agreement will prevent Parent or the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any benefit plans of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(e) The Company and Parent acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.4 with respect to employees are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties and will not create any right in any other Person, including any employees, former employees, any participant in any benefit plan or any beneficiary thereof, nor will require the Company to continue or amend any particular benefit plan after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any employee or former employee of the Company, and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.3(a), then the Company shall pay to Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), within two (2) Business Days after such termination, a fee in an amount equal to the Termination Fee.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 9.4(a), then the Company shall pay to Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), at or prior to such termination, the Termination Fee.

If a Person (other than Parent or its Affiliates) makes an Acquisition Proposal that has been publicly disclosed and subsequently withdrawn prior to such termination or the Company Shareholders Meeting, as applicable, and, within twelve (12) months following the date of the termination of this Agreement, such Person or any of its controlled Affiliates makes an Acquisition Proposal that is publicly disclosed, such initial Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to have been “not withdrawn” for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of this paragraph (c).

(d) The Company acknowledges and hereby agrees that the provisions of this Section 9.6 are an integral part of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), and that, without such provisions, Parent and Merger Sub would not have entered into this Agreement. If the Company shall fail to pay

in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to this Section 9.6, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent makes a claim against the Company therefor that results in a Judgment against the Company, the Company shall pay to Parent the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of Parent (including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred or accrued in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts set forth in this Section 9.6 at the prime lending rate prevailing during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal. Any interest payable hereunder shall be calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts were required to be paid until (but excluding) the date of actual payment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub agree that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 9.6 and such Termination Fee is paid in full, such fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the negotiation, execution and performance thereof, and Parent and Merger Sub shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Company or its Subsidiaries, at law or in equity or otherwise, and neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall seek to obtain any recovery, Judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, stockholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby.

(f) Except as expressly set forth in this Section 9.6, all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby will be paid by the Party incurring such Expenses.

9.7 Amendment. At any time prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented in any and all respects, whether before or after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, by written agreement signed by each of the Parties hereto; provided, however, that following the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, there shall be no amendment or supplement to the provisions of this Agreement which by Law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant self-regulatory organization would require further approval by the holders of the Company Shares without such approval.

9.8 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other Party(ies), (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party(ies) contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered under this Agreement, or (c) unless prohibited by applicable Law, waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such Party. The failure or delay of any Party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise will not constitute a waiver of such rights.
