AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 28, 2012, by and among: RIVERBED TECHNOLOGY, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”); OCTAGON ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Sub”); and OPNET TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

A. Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective stockholders for Parent to acquire the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

B. In furtherance of the contemplated acquisition of the Company by Parent, it is proposed that Acquisition Sub make an exchange offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, in exchange for consideration, per share of Company Common Stock, comprised of: (i) $36.55, net to the seller in cash (the “Cash Consideration”); plus (ii) 0.2774 of a share of Parent Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”) (the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration or any different consideration per share of Company Common Stock that may be paid pursuant to the Offer in accordance with this Agreement, the “Offer Price”), without interest thereon and subject to any required Tax withholding.

C. It is further proposed that, after acquiring shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, Acquisition Sub shall merge with and into the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (the merger of Acquisition Sub with and into the Company being referred to in this Agreement as the “Merger”).

D. In order to induce Parent and Acquisition Sub to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company are executing and delivering tender and support agreements in favor of Parent and Acquisition Sub (the “Stockholder Agreements”).

E. In order to induce Parent and Acquisition Sub to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ are executing and delivering noncompetition agreements to be effective as of Closing.

AGREEMENT

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

Section 1. The Offer

1.1	Conduct of the Offer.

(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 8, Acquisition Sub shall commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than the 10th business day after the date of this Agreement (unless another date shall be agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company); provided, however, that Acquisition Sub shall not be required to commence the

Offer, and the 10 business day period (or such other period as shall be agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company) referred to in this sentence shall be accordingly extended, if the Company shall not: (i) have: (A) provided to Parent on a timely basis all information reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the preparation of the Offer Documents; or (B) reviewed and provided comments to Parent on the Offer Documents on a timely basis; (ii) have given: (A) Parent and its legal counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 prior to the filing thereof with the SEC; or (B) reasonable consideration to any such comments provided by Parent or its legal counsel; and (iii) be prepared to file with the SEC immediately following commencement of the Offer, and to disseminate to holders of shares of Company Common Stock, the Schedule 14D-9. (The date on which Acquisition Sub commences the Offer, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Commencement Date.”)

(b) The obligation of Acquisition Sub to accept for payment, and pay for, shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to the satisfaction or (if permitted) waiver of (and shall not be subject to any other conditions): (i) the condition (the “Minimum Condition”) that there shall be validly tendered (and not withdrawn) a number of shares of Company Common Stock (excluding shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee) that, together with any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Acquisition Sub immediately prior to the Acceptance Time, represents a majority of the Adjusted Outstanding Share Number; and (ii) the other conditions set forth in Exhibit B (the Minimum Condition and the other conditions set forth in Exhibit B are referred to collectively as the “Offer Conditions”). For purposes of this Agreement, the “Adjusted Outstanding Share Number” shall be the sum of: (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time; plus (B) an additional number of shares up to (but not exceeding) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, exchange or exercise, as applicable, of all options, warrants and other rights to acquire, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time (other than the Top-Up Option).

(c) Parent and Acquisition Sub each expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion to: (i) increase the Offer Price; and (ii) waive any Offer Condition or make any other changes to the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall: (A) amend, modify or waive the Minimum Condition; or (B) make any change to the Offer that: (1) changes the form of consideration to be delivered by Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Offer; (2) decreases the Offer Price or the number of shares of Company Common Stock sought to be purchased by Acquisition Sub in the Offer; (3) amends or modifies any condition set forth in Exhibit B in any manner adverse to the holders of Company Common Stock; (4) imposes any conditions to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions; (5) except as provided in Section 1.1(d), extends or otherwise changes the expiration date of the Offer; or (6) otherwise amends the Offer in any manner adverse (other than in an immaterial respect) to the holders of Company Common Stock. Subject to the prior satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Acquisition Sub, of the other Offer Conditions, as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date, Acquisition Sub shall: (x) consummate the Offer in accordance with its terms; (y) accept for payment all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer (provided, however, that with regard to shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee, Acquisition Sub shall be under no obligation to make any payment for such shares unless and until such shares are delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee); and (z) pay and issue the Offer Price in exchange for each share of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued by virtue of the

Offer, no dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any such fractional share interest, and such fractional share interest will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fractional share, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the date the Acceptance Time occurs.

(d) The Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire on the later of: (x) 20 business days following the Offer Commencement Date (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act); and (y) December 17, 2012 (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company)(the “Initial Expiration Date,” such date or such subsequent date to which the expiration of the Offer is extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the parties’ respective termination rights under Section 8.1: (i) if, as of the scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, Acquisition Sub may, in its discretion (and without the consent of the Company or any other Person), extend the Offer on one or more occasions, for an additional period of up to 20 business days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied; (ii) Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer from time to time for: (A) any period required by any Legal Requirement, any interpretation or position of the SEC, the staff thereof or the Nasdaq Stock Market applicable to the Offer; (B) periods of up to 20 business days per extension, until any waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Offer under the HSR Act and any foreign antitrust or competition-related Legal Requirement shall have expired or been terminated; and (C) any period of up to five business days per extension until the Marketing Period shall have been completed; (iii) if on any scheduled Expiration Date, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall not have received the Financing and Parent, acting reasonably and in good faith, shall have determined that the Financing contemplated by Section 6.12(a) will not be received by Parent or Acquisition Sub at the anticipated Acceptance Time, Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer, on one or more occasions, for an additional period of up to five business days per extension to permit Parent or Acquisition Sub to receive the Financing contemplated by Section 6.12(a); and (iv) if, as of the scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, at the request of the Company, Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer on one or more occasions for an additional period of up to 20 business days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied; provided, however, that in no event shall Acquisition Sub: (1) be required to accept for payment, and pay for, shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer until the Marketing Period shall have been completed; (2) be required to extend the Offer beyond the first business day immediately following the Outside Date; or (3) be permitted to extend the Offer beyond the first business day immediately following the Outside Date without the prior written consent of the Company. If Parent determines not to exercise the Top-Up Option because the exercise of the Top-Up Option in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.4 would violate applicable Legal Requirements, then Acquisition Sub shall elect to provide for a “subsequent offering period” of three business days in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act (provided that Acquisition Sub shall be entitled, in its discretion and without the consent of the Company or any other Person, to provide for one or more extensions thereof). Acquisition Sub shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Date without the prior written consent of the Company except in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.

(e) On the Offer Commencement Date, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall: (i) cause to be filed with the SEC, a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”), which will contain or incorporate by

reference: (A) Acquisition Sub’s offer to exchange shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer (the “Offer to Exchange”); (B) a preliminary prospectus containing the information required under Rule 14d-4(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act (the “Preliminary Prospectus”); and (C) forms of the related letter of transmittal and summary advertisement; (ii) file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (or similar successor form) to register the offer and sale of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Offer (including amendments or supplements thereto, the “Registration Statement”), which Registration Statement shall include the Preliminary Prospectus; and (iii) cause the Offer to Exchange, the Preliminary Prospectus and related documents to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock as and to the extent required by the United States securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use reasonable efforts to cause such Schedule TO and Registration Statement, and all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto (collectively, the “Offer Documents”) and the filing and dissemination thereof to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations thereunder and with all other applicable Legal Requirements. The Company and its legal counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents (including all amendments and supplements thereto) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and Parent and Acquisition Sub shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall promptly notify the Company and its legal counsel upon the receipt of any comments received by Parent, Acquisition Sub or their legal counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Offer Documents, and shall promptly provide the Company and its legal counsel with copies of all written correspondence between them and their Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, or, if not in writing, a description of such communication. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall give the Company and its legal counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in preparing the proposed response of Parent and Acquisition Sub to comments received from the SEC or its staff and to provide comments on any proposed response thereto, and Parent and Acquisition Sub shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments. Each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company: (1) shall use reasonable efforts to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents or the Offer; and (2) to the extent required by the applicable requirements of United States securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, shall use reasonable efforts to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents to the extent such information shall be or shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Parent and Acquisition Sub shall take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents, as supplemented or amended to correct such information, to be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by the United States securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Acquisition Sub all information concerning the Acquired Corporations and the Company’s stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.1(e).

(f) If, between the date of this Agreement and the date on which any particular share of Company Common Stock is accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or shares of Parent Common Stock, as the case may be, are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or if a record date with respect to any such event shall occur during such period, then each of the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted.

(g) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.13, Parent shall cause to be provided to Acquisition Sub all of the funds necessary to purchase any shares of Company Common Stock that Acquisition Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer, and shall cause Acquisition Sub to comply with, on a timely basis, all of Acquisition Sub’s obligations under this Agreement.

1.2 Company Actions.

(a) The Company hereby approves of and consents to the Offer and represents and warrants to Parent and Acquisition Sub that the Company’s board of directors, at a meeting duly called and held, has by the unanimous vote of all directors of the Company: (i) determined that this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders; (ii) approved and adopted this Agreement and approved the Contemplated Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, in accordance with the requirements of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”); (iii) declared the advisability of this Agreement; (iv) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of the Company accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock to Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Offer and, to the extent required to consummate the Merger, approve this Agreement (the unanimous recommendation of the Company’s board of directors that the stockholders of the Company accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and approve this Agreement being referred to as the “Company Board Recommendation”); (v) to the extent necessary, adopted a resolution having the effect of causing the Company not to be subject to any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “interested stockholder,” “business combination” or similar restriction set forth in any state takeover law or other Legal Requirement that might otherwise apply to the Stockholder Agreements, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions; and (vi) directed that the approval of this Agreement be submitted to the stockholders of the Company, as promptly as practicable after the Acceptance Time, if required to consummate the Merger under the DGCL. Subject to Section 5.3, the Company consents to the inclusion of the Company Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents.

(b) Contemporaneously with the filing by Parent and Acquisition Sub of the Schedule TO and the Registration Statement, or as promptly as practicable thereafter on the Offer Commencement Date, the Company shall file with the SEC and (contemporaneously with the dissemination of the Offer to Exchange, the Preliminary Prospectus and related documents) disseminate to holders of shares of Company Common Stock a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall reflect the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the information required by Section 1.3(b) and, subject only to Section 5.3, shall reflect the Company Board Recommendation. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 and the filing and dissemination thereof to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and with all other applicable Legal Requirements, and shall ensure that the Schedule 14D-9 and, if required by applicable Legal Requirements, the Registration Statement, include: (i) the opinion of the financial advisor referred to in Section 3.26; and (ii) a fair summary of the financial analysis conducted by such financial advisor in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements. Parent and its legal counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendment or supplement thereto) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments. The Company shall promptly notify Parent and its legal counsel upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Schedule 14D-9, and shall promptly provide Parent and its legal counsel with copies of all written correspondence between them and their Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, or, if not in writing, a description of such communication. The Company shall give Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in preparing the proposed response of the Company to comments received from the SEC or its staff and to provide comments on any proposed response thereto, and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments. Each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company: (1) shall use reasonable efforts to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9; and (2) to the extent required by the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or by other applicable Legal Requirements, shall use reasonable efforts to promptly correct

any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 to the extent that such information shall be or shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and the Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as supplemented or amended to correct such information, to be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Offer that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.2(b).

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

1.3 Directors.

(a) Effective upon the Acceptance Time and from time to time thereafter, Parent shall be entitled to designate, to serve on the Company’s board of directors, the number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, determined by multiplying: (i) the total number of directors on the Company’s board of directors (giving effect to any increase in the size of the Company’s board of directors effected pursuant to this Section 1.3(a)); by (ii) a fraction having a numerator equal to the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock then beneficially owned by Parent or Acquisition Sub (including all shares of Company Common Stock accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer), and having a denominator equal to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock then issued and outstanding (provided that, in no event shall Parent’s director designees constitute less than a majority of the entire board of directors of the Company). The Company shall take all action necessary to cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company’s board of directors, including seeking and accepting resignations of incumbent directors and, if such resignations are not obtained, increasing the size of the Company’s board of directors. From and after the Acceptance Time, to the extent requested by Parent, the Company shall also: (A) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and deliver to Parent the resignation of each individual who is an officer of any of the Acquired Corporations; and (B) cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members, rounded up to the next whole number, on: (1) each committee of the Company’s board of directors; and (2) the board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company (and each committee thereof) that represents at least the same percentage as individuals designated by Parent represent on the board of directors of the Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.3, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that, at all times after the Acceptance Time and prior to the Effective Time, at least two of the members of the Company’s board of directors are individuals who were directors of the Company on the date of this Agreement (“Continuing Directors”); provided, however, that: (x) if at any time after the Acceptance Time and prior to the Effective Time there shall be only one Continuing Director serving as a director of the Company for any reason, then the Company’s board of directors shall cause an individual selected by the remaining Continuing Director to be appointed to serve on the Company’s board of directors (and such individual shall be deemed to be a Continuing Director for all purposes under this Agreement); and (y) if at any time after the Acceptance Time and prior to the Effective Time no Continuing Directors remain on the Company’s board of directors, then the Company’s board of directors shall appoint two individuals who are not officers, employees or Affiliates of the Company, Parent or Acquisition Sub to serve on the Company’s board of directors (and such individuals shall be deemed to be Continuing Directors for all purposes under this Agreement).

(b) The Company’s obligations to appoint Parent’s designees to the Company’s board of directors shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. In connection with the performance of its obligations to cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company’s board of directors, the Company shall promptly take all actions, and shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors, as Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder require; provided, that the Company’s obligations under Section 1.3(a) shall be subject to the Company’s timely receipt of the information with respect to Parent and its nominees, officers, directors and Affiliates required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder. The provisions of this Section 1.3 are in addition to, and shall not limit, any right that Acquisition Sub, Parent or any Affiliate of Acquisition Sub or Parent may have (with respect to the election of directors or otherwise) under applicable Legal Requirements as a holder or beneficial owner of shares of Company Common Stock.

(c) Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees to the Company’s board of directors pursuant to Section 1.3(a) and until the Effective Time, the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors shall be required to authorize any of the following actions of the Company (each, an “Adverse Action”), to the extent the action in question could reasonably be expected to affect adversely the holders of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Parent or Acquisition Sub): (i) any action by the Company with respect to any amendment or waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, the Merger, the Promissory Note or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company; (ii) any termination of this Agreement by the Company; or (iii) any extension by the Company of the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Acquisition Sub, or any waiver or assertion of any of the Company’s rights under this Agreement. The approval of any Adverse Action by a majority of the Continuing Directors shall constitute the valid authorization of the Company’s board of directors with respect to such Adverse Action, and no other action on the part of the Company or by any other director of the Company shall be required to authorize such Adverse Action.

1.4 Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Parent and Acquisition Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable only on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.4, to purchase from the Company the number of newly-issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Company Common Stock (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the lesser of: (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Acquisition Sub at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes at least one share more than 90% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would be outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (which assumes conversion or exercise of all derivative securities regardless of the conversion or exercise price, the vesting schedule or other terms and conditions thereof) immediately after the issuance of all shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Top-Up Option; or (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue under its certificate of incorporation but that are not issued and outstanding (and are not subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued or reserved for issuance) at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option.

(b) The Top-Up Option may be exercised by Parent or Acquisition Sub, in whole or in part, at any time at or after the Acceptance Time. If: (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Acquisition Sub immediately following the Acceptance Time does not constitute at least one share more than 90% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that are then outstanding on a fully-diluted basis; (ii) the exercise of the Top-Up Option would result in Parent or Acquisition Sub owning at least one share more than 90% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that are then outstanding on a fully-diluted basis; and (iii) the exercise of the Top-Up Option in accordance with this Section 1.4 would not violate any applicable legal requirements, then the Top-Up

Option shall be exercised by Parent or Acquisition Sub. The aggregate purchase price payable for the shares of Company Common Stock being purchased by Parent or Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Top-Up Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of such shares by the Offer Price (it being understood that, if Parent elects to exercise the Top-Up Option, the Offer Price for purposes of this Section 1.4(b) shall be equal to: (A) the Cash Consideration; plus (B) the dollar amount determined by multiplying the Stock Consideration by the average of the closing sale prices of a share of Parent Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for each of the 10 consecutive trading days prior to the date on which the Top-Up Option is exercised). Such purchase price may be paid by Parent or Acquisition Sub, at its election either: (1) in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds; or (2) by: (x) paying in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to not less than the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Shares; and (y) executing and delivering to the Company a full recourse promissory note having a principal amount equal to the aggregate purchase price pursuant to the Top-Up Option less the amount paid in cash pursuant to the preceding clause “(x)” (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note: (I) shall be due on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery thereof; (II) shall bear simple interest at the rate of 3% per annum, payable in arrears at maturity; (III) shall be full recourse against Parent and Acquisition Sub; (IV) may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty; and (V) shall have no other material terms. Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company acknowledge and agree that, in any appraisal proceeding related to this Agreement, the fair value of the shares of Company Common Stock subject to the appraisal proceeding shall be determined in accordance with the DGCL without regard to the exercise by Parent or Acquisition Sub of the Top-Up Option, any shares of Company Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option or the Promissory Note.

(c) In the event Parent or Acquisition Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Parent or Acquisition Sub shall deliver to the Company a notice setting forth: (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that Parent or Acquisition Sub intends to purchase pursuant to the Top-Up Option; (ii) the manner in which Parent or Acquisition Sub intends to pay the applicable exercise price; and (iii) the place and time at which the closing of the purchase of such shares of Company Common Stock by Parent or Acquisition Sub is to take place. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, notify Acquisition Sub of the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding, the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding on a fully-diluted basis and the number of Top-Up Shares. At the closing of the purchase of such shares of Company Common Stock, Parent or Acquisition Sub shall cause to be delivered to the Company the consideration required to be delivered in exchange for such shares, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Parent or Acquisition Sub (as the case may be) a certificate representing such shares. Parent and Acquisition Sub acknowledge that any Top-Up Shares issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will not be registered under the Securities Act and that all such Top-Up Shares will be issued in reliance upon an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Parent and Acquisition Sub are, and will be, upon the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Acquisition Sub agrees that the Top-Up Option and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Parent or Acquisition Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).

(d) Without the prior written consent of the Company, the right to exercise the Top-Up Option granted pursuant to this Agreement may be exercised only once and shall not be assigned by Parent or Acquisition Sub. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 1.4(d) shall be null and void.

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

(a) the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended in its entirety pursuant to the Merger at the Effective Time or immediately thereafter to conform to the certificate of incorporation of Acquisition Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “OPNET Technologies, Inc.” and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Legal Requirements;

2.5	Conversion of Shares.

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

(i) any shares of Company Common Stock then held by the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury) shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) any shares of Company Common Stock then held by any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company shall remain issued and outstanding and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) any shares of Company Common Stock then held by Parent, Acquisition Sub or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iv) except as provided in clauses “(i),” “(ii)” and “(iii)” above and subject to Section 2.5(b), Section 2.5(c), Section 2.6(e) and Section 2.7, each share of Company Common Stock then outstanding shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration (the “Merger Price”), without interest thereon; and

(v) each share of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Acquisition Sub then outstanding shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) If, during the Pre-Closing Period, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock, as the case may be, are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or if a record date with respect to any such event shall occur during such period, then the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted.

(c) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued by virtue of the Merger, no dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any such fractional share interest, and such fractional share interest will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fractional share, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the Closing Date.

(d) At the Effective Time, shares of Company Restricted Stock that vest as a result of the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, will be treated as outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and converted automatically into the right to receive the Merger Price pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iv).

2.6	Surrender of Certificates; Stock Transfer Books.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company (the “Exchange Agent”) to receive the funds and shares of Parent Common Stock for purposes of effecting the payment and distribution of the Merger Price contemplated by Section 2.5(a)(iv). Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall: (i) issue and deliver or cause to be delivered, to the Exchange Agent evidence of shares in book-entry form representing the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iv) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock; and (ii) deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent: (A) cash in an amount representing the aggregate Cash Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iv) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock; and (B) from time to time as needed, cash in amounts that are sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.5(c), in each case, to be paid in respect of Stock Certificates and Book-Entry Shares by the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Agreement. Such funds and evidence of Parent Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent are referred to herein as the “Payment Fund.” Such funds, to the extent cash, shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent, in its sole discretion, pending payment thereof by the Exchange Agent to the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock. Earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of holders of shares of Company Common Stock.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were record holders of certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock (“Stock Certificates”) or non-certificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”): (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of Stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Upon surrender of a Stock Certificate or a Book-Entry Share to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Parent: (A) the holder of such Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Price payable to such holder pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iv) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share; and (B) the Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock which are not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Price may be made to a Person other than the holder in whose name the Stock Certificate so surrendered is registered, if any such Stock Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and such holder shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Payment of the Merger Price with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to a Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.6(b), each Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent solely the right to receive the Merger Price for each share of Company Common Stock formerly evidenced by such Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share. If any Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition to the payment of any cash amount pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iv), require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Stock Certificate. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Stock Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.

(c) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares as of the date 180 days after the date on which the Merger becomes effective shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore surrendered their Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Section 2.6 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for payment pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iv). None of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock or to any other Person with respect to any cash amounts delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.

(d) At the Effective Time, holders of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, and the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid Stock Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in this Section 2.6.

(e) The Exchange Agent, Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Exchange Agent, Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Surviving Corporation determines in good faith is required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other Legal Requirement. To the extent any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

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

2.7	Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, shares of Company Common Stock held by a holder who has made a proper demand for appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and who has otherwise complied with all applicable provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (any such shares being referred to as “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Price in accordance with Section 2.5(a)(iv), but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares.

(b) If any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then such shares shall be deemed automatically to have been converted into, as of the Effective Time, and to represent only, the right to receive the Merger Price in accordance with Section

2.5(a)(iv), without interest thereon, upon surrender of a Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share representing such shares in accordance with Section 2.6.

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

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

The fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is

sufficient in all material respects to procure or provide for the accrued benefit obligations with respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign Plan, as determined according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to determine employer contributions to and obligations under such Foreign Plan.

(t) The Company has provided Parent with a list of all current employees by position of each of the Acquired Corporations as of the date of this Agreement, and correctly reflects, in all material respects, their wage or salary, any other compensation payable to them (including compensation payable pursuant to bonus, deferred compensation, commission or severance arrangements), their dates of employment and their positions and work locations.

(c) If the Company or any other Acquired Corporation or any of their respective Representatives receives an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than: (A) 24 hours after receipt of such Acquisition Proposal or written Acquisition Inquiry; or (B) 48 hours after receipt of such Acquisition Inquiry that is not in writing) advise Parent orally and in writing of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, the material terms and conditions thereof, and, if available, any written documentation received by such Acquired Corporation setting forth such terms and conditions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Acquired Corporation shall not be obligated to advise Parent of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry in the manner contemplated by the previous sentence if doing so would violate any written agreement between the Company and a third party that was entered into prior to September 18, 2012; provided, however, that unless and until Parent is advised of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry in the manner contemplated by the previous sentence (including by providing Parent with the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry), the Acquired Corporations and their Representatives shall be prohibited from engaging in any discussions or negotiations with such third party (other than to inform such third party that no discussions or negotiations may take place unless such third party consents to such disclosure) and from providing non-public information to such third party. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry and any modification or proposed modification thereto.

(e) The Company: (i) agrees that it will not, and shall ensure that each other Acquired Corporation will not, release or permit the release of any Person from, or amend or waive or permit the amendment or waiver of any provision of, any confidentiality, non-solicitation, no-hire, “standstill” or similar agreement or provision to which any of the Acquired Corporations is or becomes a party or under which any of the Acquired Corporations has or acquires any rights (including the “standstill” provision contained in any confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(iv)(B)); and (ii) will use its best efforts to enforce or cause to be enforced each such agreement at the request of Parent. The Company also shall promptly: (A) request each Person that has executed a confidentiality agreement or similar agreement in connection with its consideration of a possible Acquisition Proposal or investment in any Acquired Corporation to return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of any of the Acquired Corporations; and (B) prohibit any third party from having access to any physical or electronic data rooms relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal.

(f) Except as permitted by Section 5.3(g) or Section 5.3(h), neither the board of directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall: (i) withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub, permit the withdrawal or modification in a manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub, or publicly propose to withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub, the Company Board Recommendation (it being understood that the Company Board Recommendation shall be deemed to have been modified in a manner adverse to Parent if it shall no longer be unanimous) or resolve, agree or propose to take any of the actions contemplated by this clause “(i)” (any action described in this clause “(i)” being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”); or (ii) approve, endorse, accept or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse, accept or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, or cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar document or Contract constituting or relating to, or that is intended to, contemplates or is reasonably likely to result in, an Acquisition Transaction, other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.3(b)(iii)(B), or resolve, agree or propose to take any of the actions contemplated by this clause “(ii).”

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(f) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the board of directors of the Company may, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, make an Adverse Recommendation Change and thereafter may cause the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(f) and, concurrently with such termination, cause the Company to enter into a Specified Definitive Acquisition Agreement in accordance and subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 8.1(f) if: (i) an unsolicited, bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal that did not otherwise result from a breach of the provisions of this Section 5.3 is made to the Company and is not withdrawn; (ii) the Company’s board of directors determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of the Company’s independent financial advisor and the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Offer; (iii) the Company’s board of directors determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Offer, failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or failure to take action pursuant to Section 8.1(f) would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company’s board of directors under applicable Delaware law; (iv) prior to effecting such Adverse Recommendation Change or taking action pursuant to Section 8.1(f), the

Company’s board of directors shall have given Parent at least five business days’ prior written notice: (A) that it has received a Superior Offer that did not result from a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 5.3 or any “standstill” or similar agreement or provision under which any Acquired Corporation has any rights; (B) that it intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or take action pursuant to Section 8.1(f) as a result of such Superior Offer; and (C) specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Offer, including the identity of the Person making such offer (and attaching the most current and complete version of any written agreement or other document relating thereto) (it being understood and agreed that any change to the consideration payable in connection with such Superior Offer or any other material modification thereto shall require a new five business days’ advance written notice by the Company (except that the five business day period referred to above shall be reduced to three business days)); (v) during any such notice period(s), the Company engages (to the extent requested by Parent) in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that such Superior Offer would no longer constitute a Superior Offer; and (vi) at the time of any Adverse Recommendation Change and the taking of action pursuant to Section 8.1(f), the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after taking into account the advice of the Company’s independent financial advisor and the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change and the failure to take action pursuant to Section 8.1(f) would still be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company’s board of directors under applicable Delaware law in light of such Superior Offer (taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent as a result of the negotiations required by clause “(v)” or otherwise).

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(f) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the board of directors of the Company may, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, make an Adverse Recommendation Change, if: (i) there shall occur or arise after the date of this Agreement a material event, material development or material change in circumstances that does not relate to any Acquisition Proposal that was not known by the Company’s board of directors on the date of this Agreement (or if known, the consequences of which are not known to or reasonably foreseeable by the Company’s board of directors as of the date hereof), which event, development or change in circumstance, or any material consequences thereof, becomes known to the Company’s board of directors prior to the Acceptance Time (any such material event, material development or material change in circumstances unrelated to an Acquisition Proposal being referred to as an “Intervening Event”); (ii) no director had knowledge, as of the date of this Agreement, that such Intervening Event was reasonably likely to occur or arise after the date of this Agreement; (iii) the Company provides Parent, at least two days prior to any meeting of the Company’s board of directors at which such board of directors will consider and determine whether such Intervening Event may require the Company to make an Adverse Recommendation Change, with a written notice specifying the date and time of such meeting, the reasons for holding such meeting and a reasonably detailed description of such Intervening Event; (iv) the Company’s board of directors determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of the Company’s independent financial advisor and the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Intervening Event, failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company’s board of directors under applicable Delaware law; (v) no Adverse Recommendation Change has been made for five business days after receipt by Parent of a written notice from the Company confirming that the Company’s board of directors has determined that the failure to make such an Adverse Recommendation Change in light of such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Delaware law; (vi) during such five business day notice period, the Company engages (to the extent requested by Parent) in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of such Intervening Event would no longer be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company’s board of directors; and (vii) at the time of any Adverse Recommendation Change, the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after taking into account the advice of the Company’s independent financial advisor and the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the

failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would still be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company’s board of directors under applicable Delaware law in light of such Intervening Event (taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent as a result of the negotiations required by clause “(vi)” or otherwise)

(i) Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from: (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Delaware law; provided, however, that this Section 5.3(i) shall not be deemed to permit the board of directors of the Company to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or take any of the actions referred to in clause “(ii)” of Section 5.3(f) except, in each case, to the extent permitted by Section 5.3(g) and Section 5.3(h).

5.4 Company Equity Awards and ESPP.

(a) At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall be converted into and become an option to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock, with such conversion effected through Parent: (i) assuming such Company Option; or (ii) replacing such Company Option by issuing a reasonably equivalent replacement stock option to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock in substitution therefor, in either case in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the applicable Company Option Plan and the terms of the stock option agreement by which such Company Option is evidenced. All rights with respect to shares of Company Common Stock under Company Options assumed or replaced by Parent shall thereupon be converted into options with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (A) each Company Option assumed or replaced by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock; (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Company Option assumed or replaced by Parent shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; (C) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Company Option assumed or replaced by Parent shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (D) subject to the terms of the stock option agreement by which such Company Option is evidenced, any restriction on the exercise of any Company Option assumed or replaced by Parent shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Company Option shall otherwise remain unchanged as a result of the assumption or replacement of such Company Option; provided, however, that Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to each Company Option assumed or replaced by Parent. The “Conversion Ratio” shall be equal to the fraction having a numerator equal to: (1) the Cash Consideration; plus (2) the dollar amount determined by multiplying the Stock Consideration by the average of the closing sale prices of a share of Parent Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for each of the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date and having a denominator equal to the average of the closing sale prices of a share of Parent Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for each of the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that if, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any

stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate.

(b) At the Effective Time, each award of Company Restricted Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (and does not vest as a result of the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions) shall be assumed by Parent and converted into the right to receive the Merger Price for each such share of Company Restricted Stock. From and after the Effective Time, each assumed share of Company Restricted Stock shall be: (i) settled solely in the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration at the time such repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition lapses or otherwise terminates; and (ii) subject to substantially the same terms, including the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition as applied to the shares of Company Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) At the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Stock Unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (and does not vest as a result of the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions) shall be assumed by Parent and converted into the right to receive the Merger Price for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Restricted Stock Unit. From and after the Effective Time, each assumed Company Restricted Stock Unit shall be: (i) settled solely in the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration at the time such repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition lapses or otherwise terminates; and (ii) subject to substantially the same terms, including the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition as applied to the Company Restricted Stock Units immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) At the Effective Time, Parent shall assume the Company 2010 Stock Incentive Plan or merge such Company Option Plan into any equity incentive plan of Parent. Parent shall be entitled to grant stock awards, to the extent permissible under applicable Legal Requirements, using the share reserves of such Company Option Plan as of the Effective Time, except that: (i) stock covered by such awards shall be shares of Parent Common Stock; (ii) all references in such Company Option Plan to a number of shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed amended to refer instead to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of referenced shares of Company Common Stock by the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; and (iii) Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to the administration of such Company Option Plan.

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action that may be necessary (under the Company Option Plans and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 5.4 and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Company Options, Company Restricted Stock and Company Restricted Stock Units, have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 5.4.

(f) Parent shall use its reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, no later than 10 business days after the Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form), if available for use by Parent, relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the Company Options, Company Restricted Stock and Company Restricted Stock Units assumed or replaced by Parent in accordance with Section 5.4(a).

(g) Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall take all action that may be necessary to: (i) cause the offering period under the ESPP that is outstanding as of the date of this Agreement to be terminated as of the last business day prior to the Acceptance Time or the date such

offering period terminates by its terms, if earlier (such date, the “Final Purchase Date”); (ii) make any pro-rata adjustments that may be necessary to reflect the shortened offering period, but otherwise treat such shortened offering period as a fully effective and completed offering period for all purposes under the ESPP; (iii) cause the exercise (as of the Final Purchase Date) of each outstanding purchase right under the ESPP; (iv) provide that no further offering period or purchase period shall commence under the ESPP after the date hereof subject to the occurrence of the Acceptance Time; and (v) ensure that no individual shall be permitted to make a new election to purchase shares in any current offering period or increase his or her election to purchase shares in any current offering period; provided, however, that the actions described in clauses “(i)” through “(iv)” of this sentence shall be conditioned upon the consummation of Offer. On such new exercise date, the Company shall apply the funds credited as of such date under the ESPP within each participant’s payroll withholding account to the purchase of whole shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the ESPP. Immediately prior to and effective as of the Acceptance Time (and subject to the consummation of the Offer), the Company shall terminate the ESPP.

(a) Except as set forth herein, the Company shall not take (or cause or permit to be taken) any action to terminate any Company Employee Plan, including any such plan that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (a “401(k) Plan”); provided, however, that if directed in writing by Parent not less than five business days prior to the Effective Time and, with respect to each 401(k) Plan, within five business days prior to the date on which the Acceptance Time occurs, the Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or appropriate to terminate any such Company Employee Plan, with such termination effective as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date. Unless Parent provides such written notice to the Company, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that all 401(k) Plan(s) have been terminated (effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the date on which the Acceptance Time occurs) pursuant to resolutions of the board of directors of the Company or applicable Acquired Corporation, as the case may be. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the prior review and approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such 401(k) Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably request.

(b) The Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or appropriate to terminate the FY 2013 Annual Incentive Bonus Program, with such termination effective as of the Acceptance Time.

(c) Parent agrees that, subject to any necessary transition period and subject to any applicable plan provisions, contractual requirements or Legal Requirements: (i) all employees of the Acquired Corporations who are citizens of the United States of America or are otherwise legally employed in the United States of America and who continue their employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) shall be eligible to participate in Parent’s employee benefit plans, including but not limited to its bonus, severance, health, welfare, vacation and retirement plans (the “Parent Employee Plans”), to substantially the same extent as similarly situated employees of Parent; (ii) for purposes of determining a Continuing Employee’s eligibility to participate in Parent Employee Plans, such Continuing Employee shall receive credit under such plans for his or her years of continuous service with the Acquired Corporations prior to the Effective Time to the same extent as such service was recognized under any analogous Company Employee Plan in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; (iii) for purposes of each Parent Employee Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, life insurance and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent shall, or shall cause, the Surviving Corporation to cause, all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Parent Employee Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents; and (iv) to the extent the Closing occurs on or prior to December 31, 2012, in lieu of its obligations set forth in clause “(iii)” of this sentence, Parent shall be entitled to cause any Company Employee Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, life insurance and/or vision benefits to remain in effect through December 31, 2012.

(d) To the extent any employee notification or employee consultation requirements are imposed by applicable Legal Requirements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall cooperate to ensure that such notification or consultation requirements are complied with prior to the Acceptance Time or Effective Time, as applicable. Prior to the Effective Time, no Acquired Corporation shall communicate with Continuing Employees regarding post-Closing employment matters, including post-Closing employee benefits and compensation, without the prior written approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to make any employee of the parties or their respective Subsidiaries a third party beneficiary of this Section 6.3 or provide any such employee any rights relating hereto.

6.4 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and each Company Subsidiary in favor of those Persons who are former or current directors and officers of the Company or a Company Subsidiary as of the date of this Agreement and any Person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or a Company Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions as directors and officers occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or of a Company Subsidiary (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement or, with respect to any Person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or a Company Subsidiary, as of the Effective Time, to the extent such agreement is substantially the same as the indemnification agreements in effect as of the date of this Agreement) and as provided in any indemnification agreements between the Company or a Company Subsidiary and said Indemnified Persons (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) Made Available to Parent, which obligations shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Effective Time and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Person to whom this Section 6.4 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Person. It is expressly agreed that the Indemnified Persons to whom this Section 6.4 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.4, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.4.

(b) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons with respect to their acts and omissions as directors and officers occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement in the form disclosed by the Company to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Existing D&O Policy”), covering each Person covered by the Existing D&O Policy, on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are equivalent to those of the Existing D&O Policy; provided, however, that: (i) the Surviving Corporation may substitute for the Existing D&O Policy a policy or policies of comparable coverage; and (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy in excess of the dollar amount set forth in Part 6.4(b) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Maximum Premium”). In the event any future annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy exceed the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to, and Parent shall be obligated to cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Premium. Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may purchase a pre-paid, non-cancellable “tail” policy on the Existing D&O Policy for a claims reporting or discovery period of six years from the Effective Time and otherwise on terms and conditions that are no less favorable than the terms and conditions of the Existing D&O Policy;

provided, however, that the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, expend an amount for such tail policy in excess of the Maximum Premium. If such “tail” policy is purchased, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of the Surviving Corporation under the first sentence of this Section 6.4(b) for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(c) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns: (i) consolidates or merges with any other Person that shall not be the continuing or the surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.4.

6.5 Public Announcement. Parent and the Company agree that the press release announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a joint release of Parent and the Company. Thereafter, Parent and the Company shall consult with each other and provide each other the reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any press release or other public statement with respect to the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions or the Stockholder Agreements before issuing any such press release or public statement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to: (a) any press release or public statement made with respect to the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions or the Stockholder Agreements that is not inconsistent with, or more expansive in any material respect than, any prior press release or public statement validly made in accordance with this Section 6.5; (b) any press release or other public statement as may be required by any applicable Legal Requirement; or (c) any Adverse Recommendation Change.

6.6 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense and settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its officers or directors relating to any of the Contemplated Transactions, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent in accordance with clause “(xvii)” of Section 5.2.

6.7 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such reasonable steps as are required to cause the disposition of Company Common Stock and Company Options in connection with the Merger by each officer or director of the Company who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

6.8 Resignation of Officers and Directors. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.3, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Parent at the Closing (effective as of the Effective Time) the resignation of each officer and director of each of the Acquired Corporations.

6.9 Rule 14d–10 Matters. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company (acting through the board of directors of the Company or its compensation committee) shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 14d–10(d) promulgated under the Exchange Act any employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement entered into on or after the date hereof by the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates with current or future directors, officers or employees of the Company and its Affiliates and to ensure that any such arrangements fall within the safe harbor provisions of such rule.

6.10 Delisting. From the Acceptance Time to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to enable the de-listing by the Surviving

Corporation of the Company Common Stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

6.11 Listing. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Offer and the Merger pursuant to this Agreement to be approved for listing (subject to official notice of issuance) on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

6.12 Financing.

(a) Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and obtain the Debt Financing, including using reasonable best efforts to: (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter and negotiate and enter into the Definitive Financing Agreements on the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter and deliver to the Company a copy of any Definitive Financing Agreements to the extent executed prior to the Effective Time promptly after execution thereof; (ii) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain waiver of) all conditions under the Commitment Letter and, if applicable, the Definitive Financing Agreements applicable to Parent and Acquisition Sub; and (iii) as soon as reasonably practicable, consummate, or cause the consummation of, the Debt Financing, including, in the event of a breach by the other parties thereto that impedes or delays or would reasonably be expected to impede or delay the Acceptance Time or the Effective Time, by making written demands and reasonable requests of such parties to cure such breach or otherwise provide reasonable assurances with respect to such party’s obligations thereunder. If all conditions to the lenders’ obligations under the Commitment Letter or Definitive Financing Agreements, as applicable, have been satisfied, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the lenders providing such Debt Financing to fund, at the Acceptance Time, the Financing required to satisfy all of Parent’s and Acquisition Sub’s obligations at the Acceptance Time (provided, however, that nothing herein shall require Parent or Acquisition Sub to take any enforcement action, including through litigation, to cause such lenders to fund such Debt Financing). Parent and Acquisition Sub shall have the right from time to time to amend (including, by adding or replacing lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities), replace, supplement or otherwise modify, or waive any of its rights under, the Commitment Letter and/or substitute other debt or equity financing for all or any portion of the Debt Financing from the same and/or alternative financing sources; provided, that any such amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification to or waiver of any provision of the Commitment Letter that amends the Debt Financing and/or substitution of all or any portion of the Debt Financing shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned): (A) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing; (B) impose new or additional conditions precedent or contingencies to the Debt Financing as set forth in the Commitment Letter (unless such conditions precedent or contingencies to the financing would not be: (1) materially adverse to Parent and Acquisition Sub or the Company; and (2) reasonably expected to prevent or impede or delay the Acceptance Time or the Effective Time); or (C) prevent or impede or delay the Acceptance Time or the Effective Time. Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing; provided, that Parent shall be under no obligation to disclose any information that is subject to an attorney-client or similar privilege or protection; provided, however, that Parent shall give notice to the Company of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents and thereafter Parent and the Company shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to waive the applicable privilege or protection. In the event any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable or Parent or Acquisition Sub becomes aware of any event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to make any portion of the Debt Financing unavailable, in each case, on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Commitment Letter, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall promptly notify the Company and shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain from the same and/or alternative financing sources

alternative financing upon terms and conditions not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to Parent, Acquisition Sub and, with respect to conditions or contingencies to such alternative financing, the Company than those set forth in the Commitment Letter, in an amount sufficient, together with any available cash resources, to consummate the Merger, the Offer and the other Contemplated Transactions as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of all agreements pursuant to any such source of alternative financing shall have committed to provide Parent and Acquisition Sub with any portion of the Debt Financing promptly after execution thereof. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall give the Company prompt notice: (x) of any breach or potential breach threatened in writing by any party to the Commitment Letter or of any condition which may not be satisfied, in each case, of which Parent or Acquisition Sub becomes aware or any termination of the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Financing Agreement that occurs prior to the funding thereunder; (y) the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any other party thereto with respect to any breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any of the Commitment Letter or Definitive Financing Agreement related to the Financing of any provisions of the Commitment Letters or the Definitive Financing Agreement, if applicable, related to the Debt Financing that occurs prior to the funding thereunder; and (z) if at any time for any reason Parent or Acquisition Sub believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Financing Agreements, if applicable. As soon as reasonably practicable, following written request by the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in clause “(x),” “(y)” or “(z)” of the immediately preceding sentence; provided that they need not provide any information that is subject to contractual confidentiality restrictions, privileged or that is requested for purposes of litigation; provided, however, that, Parent shall: (I) give reasonable notice to the Company of the fact that either it or Acquisition Sub is not providing such information pursuant to this Section 6.12(a); (II) inform the Company with sufficient detail of the reason for not providing such information; and (III) with respect to reasons relating to contractual confidentiality restrictions and privilege, use, and cause Acquisition Sub to use, commercially reasonable efforts to cause the information that is subject to such restriction or privilege to be provided in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to violate such restriction or privilege. On the sixth business day (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) immediately prior to the scheduled Expiration Date, Parent shall make a determination as to whether the Funding Condition is reasonably expected to be satisfied on the scheduled Expiration Date and, if Parent, acting reasonably and in good faith, determines that the Funding Condition is reasonably expected to be satisfied on the scheduled Expiration Date, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall waive such condition prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on such sixth business day.

(b) Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and the Representatives of the Acquired Corporations to provide, at Parent’s sole expense, cooperation in connection with the arrangement of any Financing as may be reasonably requested by Parent or Acquisition Sub which shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

(i) causing the Company’s senior management and finance department, and using commercially reasonable efforts to cause its other Representatives to participate in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations (including marketing (or similar presentations) and lender and other investor presentations), road shows, sessions with rating agencies and due diligence sessions (including accounting due diligence) in connection with any Financing;

(ii) assisting in the preparation of customary bank information memoranda and bank syndication materials, rating agency presentations, offering documents, private placement memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents as may be requested or required in

connection with any Financing, including the syndication thereof, but in each case, solely with respect to the information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries;

(iii) providing Parent reasonable access at reasonable times all other documentation and information, including all customary financial and other information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries, and other items, in each case, contemplated by the Commitment Letter and the Definitive Financing Agreements or as otherwise reasonably requested by Parent in connection with any Financing;

(iv) providing reasonable access at reasonable times to properties, books and records of the Acquired Corporations as reasonably requested by Parent or the sources of any Financing, including permitting such persons to perform customary “due diligence” in connection with any Financing;

(v) using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s independent public accountants to cooperate with Parent’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Financing, including by participating in drafting sessions and accounting due diligence sessions and by promptly providing, upon request: (A) consent to the incorporation of such auditors’ reports in SEC filings and offering memoranda which include any of the Acquired Corporations’ financial information; and (B) customary comfort letters (including “negative assurance” comfort) upon completion of customary procedures;

(vi) furnishing such information and arranging for delivery of any collateral to be physically pledged, in each case, to the extent reasonably necessary to facilitate the pledging of collateral and perfection of liens and the providing of guarantees, in each case, at the Effective Time; and

(vii) furnishing all documentation and other information required by any Governmental Body in connection with any Financing under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT ACT;

provided, that: (1) such requested assistance and cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Acquired Corporations; (2) none of the Acquired Corporations shall be required to pay any fees (including commitment or other similar fees) or incur any other liability or expense in connection with the Financing (or any replacement thereof) prior to the Effective Time; (3) no incurrence of Indebtedness or other obligation of any Acquired Corporation under any Financing shall be effective until the Effective Time; (4) no Acquired Corporation shall be required to provide access to or disclose information where the Company reasonably determines that such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of an Acquired Corporation or contravene any Legal Requirement or any contract to which an Acquired Corporation is a party; provided that, the Company shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents and thereafter the Company and Parent shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to waive the applicable privilege or protection; (5) no Acquired Corporation shall be required to: (A) take any action that will conflict with or violate such Acquired Corporation’s organizational documents or any Legal Requirement or result in the contravention of, or that would reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any material Contract to which an Acquired Corporation is a party; or (B) issue any bank information memoranda, high-yield offering prospectuses or memoranda required in relation to any Financing (and any such bank information memoranda, high-yield offering prospectuses or memoranda shall reflect the Surviving Corporation and/or its Subsidiaries as the obligors on such Financing); and (6) no Acquired Corporation shall be required to enter into or approve any financing or purchase agreement

for any Financing prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall, reasonably promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Acquired Corporation in connection with such cooperation and assistance. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Acquired Corporations and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them prior to the Effective Time in connection with any Financing or the arrangement of any Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than historical information relating to the Acquired Corporations); except in the event such termination is determined to have arisen out of or resulted from the fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or intentional misrepresentation of the Acquired Corporations or their respective Representatives, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Financing is and will remain the sole responsibility of Parent and Acquisition Sub and none of Acquired Corporations or any of their respective Representatives: (x) shall be required to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or agree to pay any commitment or other fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the Effective Time, or give any indemnities that are not contingent on the Effective Time; or (y) shall have any liability or incur any losses, damages or penalties with respect thereto.

(c) If a Commitment Letter is amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, including as a result of obtaining alternative financing in accordance with Section 6.12(a), or if Parent substitutes other debt or equity financing for all or a portion of the Debt Financing, each of Parent and the Company shall comply with its covenants in Section 6.12(a) and Section 6.12(b) with respect to the Commitment Letter as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified and with respect to such other financing to the same extent that Parent and the Company would have been obligated to comply with respect to the Debt Financing.

(d) The Company hereby consents to the use of the trademarks, service marks and logos of the Acquired Corporations in connection with any Financing.

(e) All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company obtained by Parent or its Representatives or any other Person pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall be governed by the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that notwithstanding the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, upon notice to the Company, Parent may provide such information to potential sources of capital and to rating agencies and prospective lenders and investors during syndication or placement of any Financing (including any alternative financing to be entered into pursuant to Section 6.12(a)) subject to customary confidentiality arrangements with such Persons regarding such information (it being acknowledged by the Company that the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Commitment Letter are customary and acceptable) or as otherwise permitted by the Confidentiality Agreement.

Legal Requirement enacted or deemed applicable to the Merger that makes consummation of the Merger illegal; provided, however, that prior to invoking this Section 7.2, a party shall have taken all actions required of such party under this Agreement to have any such injunction, order or Legal Requirement or other prohibition lifted.

7.3 Consummation of Offer. Acquisition Sub shall have accepted for payment and paid for shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer (including any “subsequent offering period” provided by Acquisition Sub pursuant to this Agreement).

Section 8. TERMINATION

8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Offer and the Merger may be abandoned (other than in the case of Section 8.1(a), by written notice of the terminating party (acting through such party’s board of directors or its designee) to the other parties):

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company at any time prior to the Effective Time (notwithstanding receipt of the Required Company Stockholder Vote);

(b) by either Parent or the Company at any time prior to the Effective Time (notwithstanding receipt of the Required Company Stockholder Vote) if a court or other Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and non-appealable order, decree or ruling, or shall have taken any other action, having the effect of: (i) permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting: (A) the acquisition or acceptance for payment of, or payment for, shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer; or (B) the Merger; or (ii) making the acquisition of or payment for shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, or the consummation of the Merger, illegal; provided, however, that a party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) if the issuance of such order, decree or ruling or the taking of such action is attributable to the failure of such party to perform any covenant in this Agreement required to be performed by such party at or prior to the Effective Time;

(c) by either Parent or the Company at any time prior to the Acceptance Time if the Offer shall have expired or shall have been terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including Exhibit B) without the Minimum Condition having been satisfied and the other Offer Conditions having been satisfied or waived in writing by Parent;

(d) by either Parent or the Company if the Acceptance Time shall not have occurred on or prior to February 28, 2013 (the “Outside Date”);

(e) by Parent within 15 business days after (but in any event prior to the Acceptance Time) a Triggering Event shall have occurred;

(f) subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 5.3(g), by the Company at any time prior to the Acceptance Time in order to accept a Superior Offer and enter into a binding, written, definitive agreement providing for the consummation of the transaction contemplated by such Superior Offer (the “Specified Definitive Acquisition Agreement”), if: (i) the board of directors of the Company authorizes the Company, subject to complying with the terms of this Agreement, to enter into a Specified Definitive Acquisition Agreement; (ii) immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the termination of this Agreement, the Company enters into the Specified Definitive Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Offer; and (iii) the Company immediately prior to or concurrently with such termination, pays to Parent the payment required to be made to Parent pursuant to Section 8.3(c);

(g) by Parent at any time prior to the Acceptance Time if: (i) any of the Company’s representations or warranties contained in this Agreement shall have become inaccurate as of a date subsequent to the date of this Agreement (as if made on such subsequent date), such that the condition set forth in clause “(a)” of Exhibit B would not be satisfied (it being understood that, for purposes of determining the accuracy of such representations and warranties: (A) all materiality qualifications limiting the scope of such representations and warranties shall be disregarded; and (B) any update of or modification to the Disclosure Schedule made or purported to have been made on or after the date of this Agreement shall be disregarded); or (ii) the Company shall have failed to comply with or perform its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, such that the condition set forth in clause “(b)” of Exhibit B would not be satisfied; provided, however, that if: (A) any inaccuracy in any of the Company’s representations or warranties or failure to comply with or perform the Company’s covenants or agreements is curable by the Company prior to the earlier of the Outside Date or 30 days after the date on which the Company is notified by Parent in writing of such inaccuracy or failure to comply with or perform; and (B) the Company is continuing to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such inaccuracy or failure to comply with or perform, then Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(g) on account of such inaccuracy or failure to perform: (1) during such 30-day (or shorter) period; or (2) after such 30-day period, if such inaccuracy or failure to comply with or perform shall have been fully cured; provided, further, however, that Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) if Parent or Acquisition Sub is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder; or

(h) by the Company at any time prior to the Acceptance Time if: (i) any of Parent’s representations or warranties contained in this Agreement shall have become inaccurate as of a date subsequent to the date of this Agreement (as if made on such subsequent date) (it being understood that, for purposes of determining the accuracy of such representations and warranties, all materiality qualifications limiting the scope of such representations and warranties shall be disregarded) and such inaccuracy materially impairs or delays Parent’s or Acquisition Sub’s ability to purchase and pay for shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer; or (ii) Parent shall have failed to comply with or perform its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and such failure materially impairs or delays Parent’s or Acquisition Sub’s ability to purchase and pay for the shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that if: (A) any inaccuracy of any of Parent’s representations or warranties or failure to comply with or perform Parent’s covenants or agreements is curable by Parent prior to the earlier of the Outside Date or 30 days after the date on which Parent is notified by the Company in writing of such breach or failure to comply with or perform; and (B) Parent is continuing to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such inaccuracy or failure to comply with or perform, then the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(h) on account of such inaccuracy or failure to perform: (1) during such 30-day (or shorter) period; or (2) after such 30-day period, if such inaccuracy or failure to comply with or perform shall have been fully cured; provided, further, however, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(h) if the Company is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder.

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that: (i) Section 6.6, this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Section 9 (and the Confidentiality Agreement, other than Section 6 thereof) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect (it being understood that Section 6 of the Confidentiality Agreement has been superseded by this Agreement and has no further force or effect and nothing contained in the Confidentiality Agreement shall impact Parent’s rights or remedies with respect to fraud); (ii) the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from any liability for any material, knowing and intentional breach of any

representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or willful and intentional breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; and (iii) no termination of this Agreement shall in any way affect any of the parties’ rights or obligations with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer prior to such termination.

8.3 Expenses; Termination Fees.

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Offer or the Merger is consummated; provided, however, that Parent and the Company shall share equally all fees and expenses, other than attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with: (i) the filing, printing and mailing of the Offer Documents and the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendments or supplements thereto; (ii) the retention of any information agent, depositary or other service provider in connection with the Offer; and (iii) the filing by Parent and the Company of the premerger notification and report forms relating to the Contemplated Transactions under the HSR Act and the filing of any notice or other document under any applicable foreign antitrust or competition-related Legal Requirement.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c) or Section 8.1(d) and: (i) at or prior to the time of such termination an Acquisition Proposal shall have been disclosed, announced, commenced, submitted or made; and (ii) within 12 months after the date of any such termination, an Acquisition Transaction (whether or not relating to such Acquisition Proposal) is consummated or a definitive agreement contemplating an Acquisition Transaction (whether or not relating to such Acquisition Proposal) is executed, then the Company shall pay to Parent, in cash at the earlier of the time such Acquisition Transaction is consummated or the time such definitive agreement is executed, a non-refundable fee in the amount of $37,500,000; provided, however, that for purposes of clause “(ii)” above, all references to “15%” in the definition of Acquisition Transaction shall be deemed to be references to “35%.”

(c) If this Agreement is terminated by: (i) Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(e); (ii) by Parent or the Company pursuant to any other provision of Section 8 during the 15 business day period immediately following the occurrence of a Triggering Event; or (iii) by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(f), then the Company shall pay to Parent, in cash, a non-refundable fee in the amount of $37,500,000. In the case of termination of this Agreement in the manner set forth in clauses “(i)” or “(ii)” of this Section 8.3(c), the fee referred to in the preceding sentence shall be paid by the Company within two business days after such termination; and in the case of termination of this Agreement in the manner set forth in clause “(iii)” of this Section 8.3(c), the fee referred to in the preceding sentence shall be paid by the Company immediately prior to or concurrently with such termination.

(d) If this Agreement is terminated by: (i) Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d) and: (A) at the time of such termination, each of the Offer Conditions has been satisfied or waived (other than: (1) the condition set forth in clause “(j)” of Exhibit B (the “Funding Condition”); (2) the condition set forth in clause “(l)” of Exhibit B; (3) the condition set forth in clause “(k)” of Exhibit B; and (4) the Minimum Condition unless, between the seventh and fifth business day immediately prior to the Outside Date, Parent: (x) acting reasonably and in good faith, believes (and publicly announces such belief) that it or Acquisition Sub will receive the Financing by the Outside Date (which public announcement shall not have been subsequently adversely modified or withdrawn); and (y) on or prior to such date, shall have waived the Funding Condition, in which case the Minimum Condition must also have been satisfied); (B) at the time of such termination, Parent and Acquisition Sub have not received the Financing; and (C) the failure of Parent and Acquisition Sub to receive the Financing is not attributable to a breach of: (1) Section 6.12(b); or (2) any covenant or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement or any

other action or failure to act of the Company, in each case, that has caused any condition set forth in Exhibit B of the Commitment Letter not to be satisfied; or (ii) the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d) and: (A) at the time of such termination, each of the Offer Conditions has been satisfied or waived (other than: (1) the Funding Condition; (2) the condition set forth in clause “(l)” of Exhibit B; (3) the condition set forth in clause “(k)” of Exhibit B; and (4) the Minimum Condition unless, between the seventh and fifth business day immediately prior to the Outside Date, Parent: (x) acting reasonably and in good faith, believes (and publicly announces such belief) that it or Acquisition Sub will receive the Financing by the Outside Date (which public announcement shall not have been subsequently adversely modified or withdrawn); and (y) on or prior to such date, shall have waived the Funding Condition, in which case the Minimum Condition must also have been satisfied); (B) at the time of such termination, Parent and Acquisition Sub have not received the Financing; (C) the failure of Parent and Acquisition Sub to receive the Financing is not attributable to a breach of: (1) Section 6.12(b); or (2) any covenant or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement or any other action or failure to act of the Company, in each case, that has caused any condition set forth in Exhibit B of the Commitment Letter not to be satisfied; and (D) the Company shall have given Parent written notice at least two business days prior to termination stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d) (and the basis for such termination), then Parent shall pay to the Company, a non-refundable fee in the amount of $25,000,000 (the “Reverse Termination Fee”). In the case of the termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d) under the circumstances set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.3(d), the Reverse Termination Fee shall be paid by Parent within two business days after such termination and, in the case of the termination of this Agreement by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d) under the circumstances set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.3(d), the Reverse Termination Fee shall be paid by Parent at or prior to the time of such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.2, Section 8.3, Section 9.12 or elsewhere in this Agreement, except in the case of a Willful Breach, if this Agreement is terminated under the circumstances set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.3(d), the Company’s right to receive the Reverse Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.3(d) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Acquired Corporations and their respective stockholders and Affiliates against Parent or any of its Related Persons for, and the Acquired Corporations (on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective stockholders and Affiliates) shall be deemed to have waived all other remedies (including equitable remedies) with respect to: (1) any failure of the Offer or the Merger to be consummated; (2) any breach by Parent or Acquisition Sub of its obligation to consummate the Offer or the Merger or any other provision set forth in this Agreement; (3) any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, including any representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.13 or relating to the Financing (regardless of whether such representation or warranty refers specifically to such Financing); and (4) any breach of any of the covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, including any covenant or obligation set forth in Section 6.12(a) or relating to the Financing (regardless of whether such covenant or obligation refers specifically to such Financing), unless such inaccuracy or breach constitutes a Willful Breach. Upon payment by Parent of the Reverse Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.3(d), except in the case of a Willful Breach, neither Parent nor any of its Related Persons shall have any further liability or obligation (under this Agreement or otherwise) relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions, and, except in the case of a Willful Breach, in no event shall any Acquired Corporation (and the Company shall ensure that the Acquired Corporations’ Affiliates do not) seek to recover any money damages or losses, or seek to pursue any other recovery, judgment, damages or remedy (including any equitable remedy) of any kind, in connection with this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions.

(e) Each of the Company and Parent acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3, are an integral part of the Contemplated Transactions, and that, without these agreements, Parent would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if: (i) the Company fails to pay when due any amount payable under this Section 8.3, then: (A) the Company shall reimburse

Parent for all costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with the collection of such overdue amount and the enforcement by Parent of its rights under this Section 8.3; and (B) the Company shall pay to Parent interest on such overdue amount (for the period commencing as of the date such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date such overdue amount is actually paid to Parent in full) at a rate per annum equal to 300 basis points over the “prime rate” (as announced by Bank of America or any successor thereto) in effect on the date such overdue amount was originally required to be paid; and (ii) Parent fails to pay when due any amount payable under this Section 8.3, then: (A) Parent shall reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with the collection of such overdue amount and the enforcement by the Company of its rights under this Section 8.3; and (B) Parent shall pay to the Company interest on such overdue amount (for the period commencing as of the date such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date such overdue amount is actually paid to the Company in full) at a rate per annum equal to 300 basis points over the “prime rate” (as announced by Bank of America or any successor thereto) in effect on the date such overdue amount was originally required to be paid.

Section 9. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

9.1 Amendment. Subject to Section 1.3, this Agreement may be amended with the approval of the respective boards of directors of the Company and Parent at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the approval of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders; provided, however, that after any such approval of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders, no amendment shall be made which by applicable Legal Requirements requires further approval of the stockholders of the Company without the further approval of such stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

No party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

9.3 No Survival of Representations and Warranties.

the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement (other than Section 2, Section 6 and the second sentence of Section 8 thereof which shall be superceded and shall cease to have any force or effect as of the date of this Agreement) shall not be superseded and shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

9.10 Cooperation. The Company and Parent agree to cooperate fully with each other and to execute and deliver such further documents, certificates, agreements and instruments and to take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other to evidence or reflect the Contemplated Transactions and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

9.11 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in an effort to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

9.12 Enforcement. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by any of the parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any of the parties of their respective covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, the other parties shall be entitled to obtain, without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such

remedy): (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation; and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach; this being in addition to any other remedy to which each party is entitled at law or in equity.

9.13 Obligation of Parent. Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to duly perform, satisfy and discharge on a timely basis each of the covenants, obligations and liabilities of Acquisition Sub under this Agreement.

9.14 Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and irrevocably agree: (a) that in any Legal Proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, in which any party and the sources of the Debt Financing are a party arising out of, or relating to, the Contemplated Transactions, the Debt Financing, the Commitment Letter, the Definitive Financing Agreements or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, and any appellate court thereof and each party hereto submits for itself with respect to any such Legal Proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court; (b) not to bring or authorize any of their Affiliates to bring any such Legal Proceeding in any other court; (c) that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to them at their respective addresses provided in Section 9.9 shall be effective service of process against them for any such Legal Proceeding brought in any such court; (d) to waive and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirements, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such Legal Proceeding in any such court; (e) to waive and hereby waive any right to trial by jury in respect of any such Legal Proceeding; (f) that a final judgment in any such Legal Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Legal Requirements; (g) that, subject to the proviso below, any such Legal Proceeding shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State that would result in the application of the laws of any other State; (h) that the sources of the Debt Financing are express third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, the agreements set forth in this Section 9.14; (i) none of the sources of the Debt Financing will have any liability to the Company or its Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Financing or otherwise, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will have any rights or claims against any of the sources of the Debt Financing hereunder or thereunder, and in no event shall the Company be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement against the sources of the Debt Financing; and (j) that the sources of the Debt Financing are beneficiaries of and may enforce any liability cap or limitation on damages or remedies in this Agreement (including Section 8.3(d)); provided, however, that for purposes of any Legal Proceeding referred to in this Section 9.14, the interpretation of the definition of Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Commitment Letter) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

9.15 Construction.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include masculine and feminine genders.
