ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1    The Merger.

(a)    Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of such conditions at the Closing), at the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) whereupon the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) as a wholly owned indirect Subsidiary of Parent.

(b)    The consummation of the Merger shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held remotely via electronic transmission of related documentation or similar means, on a date and at a time to be agreed upon by Parent and the Company, which date shall be no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of such conditions at the Closing), or at such other location, date and time as Parent and the Company shall mutually agree upon in writing. The date upon which the Closing shall actually occur pursuant hereto is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

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

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

Section 1.2    Conversion of Shares of Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Company or any holder of any shares of Company Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of Merger Subsidiary or Parent:

(a)    except as otherwise provided in Section 1.2(b), Section 1.2(c) or Section 1.4, each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and cease to exist and shall be converted into the right to receive $37.00 in cash, without interest (such amount, as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.8, the “Merger Consideration”), and each holder of any such share of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.3 or Section 1.5, as applicable;

(b)    each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto;

(c)    each share of Company Common Stock held by a wholly owned Company Subsidiary, if any, and each share of Company Common Stock that is owned directly or indirectly by Parent, if any, in each case outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be converted into a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares (or fractional shares) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation such that each such holder shall own the same percentage of the outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time as such holder owned in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted;

(d)    each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute, together with any shares issued in accordance with Section 1.2(c), the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.3    Surrender and Payment.

(a)    Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of paying the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.2(a). Parent shall provide (or shall cause to be provided) to the Exchange Agent, at or prior to the Effective Time, cash sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration in respect of (i) the certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) and (ii) the uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock (the “Uncertificated Shares”) (but not any Merger Consideration in respect of any Dissenting Shares as of the Effective Time or, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Option Merger Consideration, the Company RSU Merger Consideration or the Company RSA Merger Consideration) (such cash, the “Exchange Fund”). If, for any reason (including losses) the Exchange Fund is inadequate to pay the Merger Consideration in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares (excluding any Merger Consideration in respect of any Dissenting Shares as of the Effective Time or, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Option Merger Consideration, the Company RSU Merger Consideration or the Company RSA Merger Consideration), Parent shall take all steps necessary to enable or cause the Surviving Corporation promptly to deposit in trust additional cash with the Exchange Agent sufficient to pay all such amounts, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall in any event be liable for the payment thereof. All cash deposited with the Exchange Agent shall only be used for the purposes provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed by the Company and Parent before the Effective Time. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to send to each holder of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time (other than the Company, Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of the Company or Parent) a letter of transmittal, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Surviving Corporation, and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

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

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

3

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

(e)    Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 1.3(a) that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.3 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of such shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time when such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f)    The agreement with the Exchange Agent shall provide that the Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation; provided that (i) no such investment (including any losses thereon) shall relieve Parent or the Exchange Agent from making the payments required by this Article I, (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) all such investments shall be in (w) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America, (x) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest, (y) short-term commercial paper rated the highest quality by either ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services or (z) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion. Any interest or income produced by such investments will be payable to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as directed by Parent.

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

Section 1.4    Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock canceled in accordance with Section 1.2(b) or converted in accordance with Section 1.2(c)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with the DGCL (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, shall cease to be outstanding and shall be canceled and cease to exist, and each holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to the DGCL, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.2(a), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Uncertificated Share, as the case may be, in compliance with Section 1.3. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company

4

Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to participate in and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands under the DGCL consistent with the obligations of the Company thereunder. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Dissenting Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of an equity owner of the Surviving Corporation or of a stockholder of Parent.

Section 1.5    Company Equity Awards.

(a)    Neither Surviving Corporation nor Parent shall assume any Company Options or substitute for any Company Option any option for Surviving Corporation or Parent stock, in connection with the Merger or any of the Transactions. As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Effective Time, and without any action on the part of any holder of Company Options, (i) all Unvested Company Options which are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall fully vest and become exercisable, and become Vested Company Options, and (ii) to the extent not exercised prior to the Effective Time, each Company Option shall be canceled at the Effective Time, with the former holder of such canceled Company Option becoming entitled to receive in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Option, an amount in cash (without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax as contemplated in Section 1.6) equal to: (A) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Company Option; multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Option (the “Company Option Merger Consideration”); provided, however, that, if the exercise price per share of any such Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall be canceled and terminated without any consideration in respect thereof. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Company Option Merger Consideration, without interest thereon and subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax as contemplated in Section 1.6, at the Effective Time or as soon as practicable thereafter (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Time).

(b)    Neither Surviving Corporation nor Parent shall assume any Company RSU or substitute for any Company RSU any similar award for Surviving Corporation or Parent stock in connection with the Merger or any of the Transactions. As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Effective Time, and without any action on the part of any holder of Company RSUs, (i) all Unvested Company RSUs which are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall fully vest and become Vested Company RSUs, and (ii) each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled at the Effective Time, with the former holder of such canceled Company RSU becoming entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company RSU, an amount in cash (without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax as contemplated in Section 1.6) equal to (A) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU (the “Company RSU Merger Consideration”). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Company RSU Merger Consideration, without interest thereon and subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax as contemplated in Section 1.6, at the Effective Time or as soon as practicable thereafter (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Time); provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment in respect of any Company RSU which immediately prior to such cancellation was “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made on the applicable settlement date for such Company RSU if required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

5

(c)    Neither Surviving Corporation nor Parent shall assume any Company Restricted Shares or substitute for any Company Restricted Shares any similar award for Surviving Corporation or Parent stock, in connection with the Merger or any of the Transactions. As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Effective Time, and without any action on the part of any holder of Company Restricted Shares, (i) all unvested Company Restricted Shares which are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall fully vest and become unrestricted Company Common Stock, and (ii) each such share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and cease to exist and shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in the same manner as any other share of Company Common Stock (the “Company RSA Merger Consideration”); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company RSA Merger Consideration, without interest thereon and subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax as contemplated in Section 1.6, shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time or as soon as practicable thereafter (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Time).

(d)    The Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the Stock Plans) and the Company, as applicable, shall take such actions as are necessary to approve and effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.5, including making any determinations and/or resolutions of the Company Board or a committee thereof or any administrator of a Stock Plan as may be necessary in connection therewith.

(e)    Promptly following the Agreement Date, the Company Board (or, if applicable, any committee thereof administering the Company ESPP) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other necessary actions to provide that, (i) with respect to any outstanding Option Period(s) (as such term is defined in the Company ESPP) under the Company ESPP as of the Agreement Date, no participant in the Company ESPP may increase the percentage amount of his or her payroll deduction election in effect on the Agreement Date for such Option Period and no new participants may participate in such Option Period; (ii) no new Option Period shall be commenced under the Company ESPP on or after the Agreement Date; (iii) any Option Period under the Company ESPP that does not end prior to the Effective Time shall terminate and an Exercise Date (as such term is defined in the Company ESPP) shall occur under the Company ESPP immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to such Option Period, in which case any shares of Company Common Stock purchased pursuant to such Option Period shall be treated the same as all other shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.2(a); and (iv) immediately prior to, and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, the Company ESPP shall terminate.

Section 1.6    Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of the Company, Exchange Agent, Surviving Corporation, Parent and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. If the Company, Exchange Agent, Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, so withholds amounts and properly pays such amounts over to a Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Restricted Shares, as applicable, in respect of which the Company, Exchange Agent, Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 1.7    Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the

6

Exchange Agent will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article I.

Section 1.8    Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, merger, issuer tender offer, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring on or after the Agreement Date and prior to the Effective Time, and such adjustment to the Merger Consideration shall provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action and shall, as so adjusted from and after the date of such event, be the Merger Consideration; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1.8 shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to the Company Common Stock that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, including Section 5.2.

Section 5.3    Acquisition Proposals.

(a)    No Solicitation. From the Agreement Date until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII, and except as permitted by this Section 5.3, the Company shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors and officers not to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly:

(i)    initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected

30

to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than, in response to an unsolicited inquiry from any Person relating to an Acquisition Proposal, informing such Person of the provisions contained in this Section 5.3(a));

(ii)    engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions (other than, in response to an unsolicited inquiry from any Person relating to an Acquisition Proposal, informing such Person of the provisions contained in this Section 5.3(a)) or negotiations regarding, or provide any non-public information or data to any Person relating to, any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal;

(b)    Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Company and its Representatives may (i) provide information in response to a request therefor by a Person who makes an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal following the Agreement Date if (x) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a violation of Section 5.3(a), (y) prior to providing such information, the Company receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement on terms that, taken as a whole, are not materially less restrictive to the other party than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement (1) need not contain a standstill provision or otherwise prohibit the making, or amendment, of an Acquisition Proposal and (2) may not contain terms that prevent the Company from complying with its obligations under this Section 5.3 (any confidentiality agreement satisfying the criteria of this clause (y) being an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”)) and (z) the Company promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours thereafter) makes available to Parent (including via the Electronic Data Room) any non-public information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries that the Company provides to any such Person that was not previously made available to Parent; (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person who has made such an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) authorize, adopt, approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable or propose to authorize, adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable (publicly or otherwise) such an Acquisition Proposal, if and only if, (A) prior to taking any action described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors) based on the information then available that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (B) prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors) based on information then available that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal and (C) in the case referred to in clause (iii) above, the Company Board determines in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal and the Company has complied with Section 5.3(e) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal prior to taking such action.

(c)    Notice of Acquisition Proposals. The Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent (i) if any inquiries, proposals or offers with

31

respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by the Company, (ii) if any non-public information is requested from the Company in connection with an Acquisition Proposal and (iii) if any discussions or negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal are sought to be initiated or continued with the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of its or their respective Representatives, and in each case will provide, in connection with such notice, the identity of the Person making such inquiry, proposal, offer or request and the terms and conditions of any inquiries, proposals, offers or requests (including, if applicable, unredacted copies of any written inquiries, requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements). Thereafter, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis, of the status and material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal (including any proposals, offers, counterproposals, counteroffers and amendments in connection therewith) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations and shall provide Parent with unredacted copies of all written inquiries, requests, proposals, offers, counterproposals and counteroffers, including proposed and draft agreements and other documentation, that are subsequently received or exchanged.

(d)    No Change of Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Subject to Section 5.3(e), the Company Board and each committee of the Company Board shall not:

(i)    (A) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Subsidiary, the Company Board Recommendation, (B) approve, adopt or recommend (publicly or otherwise) an Acquisition Proposal, (C) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, or (D) fail to recommend, in a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9, against any Acquisition Proposal that is a tender offer or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D promulgated under the Exchange Act (other than any tender offer or exchange offer by Parent or Merger Subsidiary) within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of such tender offer or exchange offer (any action described in clauses (A) through (D), a “Change of Recommendation”); or

(ii)    cause or permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement (other than any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 5.3(b)).

(e)    Change of Recommendation / Superior Proposal Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, (x) the Company Board may make a Change of Recommendation (1) if the Company receives a bona fide unsolicited Acquisition Proposal following the Agreement Date that did not result from a violation of Section 5.3(a) and the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors) based on the information then available that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or (2) other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, in response to an event, occurrence, development or state of facts or circumstances occurring after the Agreement Date that was not known by the Company Board prior to the Agreement Date, in either case of (1) or (2), only if the Company Board determines in good faith that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (y) if the Company Board is permitted to make a Change of Recommendation pursuant to clause (x)(1), the Company may also terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to the applicable Superior Proposal; provided, however, that neither the Company Board or the Company shall take any of the foregoing actions unless:

(i)    the Company shall have provided prior written notice (a “Determination Notice”) to Parent at least five (5) Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”) to the effect that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying in reasonable detail the circumstances giving

32

rise to such proposed action, including, in the case such action is proposed to be taken in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the information specified by Section 5.3(c) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal (it being understood and agreed that the delivery of a Determination Notice shall not, in and of itself, be deemed a Change of Recommendation);

(ii)    the Company shall have, and shall have used reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to have, during the Notice Period negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that (A) the failure to take such action would no longer be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (B) with respect to any such action to be taken in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that in the event of any material revision to the terms of such Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new Determination Notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of Section 5.3(e)(i) and this Section 5.3(e)(ii) with respect to such new Determination Notice and the revised Superior Proposal contemplated thereby (except that the Notice Period in respect of such new Determination Notice shall be the longer of (x) three Business Days and (y) the period remaining under the initial Notice Period);

(iii)    at or following the end of such Notice Period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors) based on the information then available that (A) failure to take such action would continue to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (B) with respect to any such action to be taken in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal, in each case taking into account any revisions to this Agreement made or proposed in writing by Parent prior to the time of such determination pursuant to clause (iii) above; and

(iv)    in the event of a termination of this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, the Company shall have validly terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1 and paid the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.4.

(f)    Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under the U.S. federal securities Laws with regard to an Acquisition Proposal, including taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the Company’s stockholders), or (ii) making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to the Company’s stockholders); provided, however, that the Company Board shall not make or resolve to make a Change of Recommendation except in accordance with Section 5.3(e).

(g)    Existing Discussions. Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company agrees that it will, and will cause the Company Subsidiaries and direct its and their respective Representatives, to (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) immediately cease providing any information to any such Person or its Representatives, (iii) promptly terminate all access granted to any such Person and its Representatives to any physical or electronic data room and (iv) promptly request that any such Person and its Representatives promptly return to the Company or destroy any non-public information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries that was previously furnished or made available to such Person or any of its Representatives by or on behalf of the Company or its Representatives in accordance with the terms of the confidentiality agreement in place with such Person.

33

(h)    Breach By Representatives. The Company agrees that any breach of this Section 5.3 by any of its Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company.

Section 5.4    Proxy Filing. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Agreement Date, a proxy statement in preliminary form relating to the Stockholders Meeting (such proxy statement, including any amendment or supplement thereto, the “Proxy Statement”) and, subject to Section 5.3, shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Each of Parent and the Company shall provide the other with the information contemplated by Section 5.6(c) and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the other in connection with any of the actions contemplated by this Section 5.4, including the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement and the resolution of any comments in respect thereof received from the SEC.

Section 5.5    Stockholders Meeting. The Company will take, in accordance with applicable Law and the Company Charter Documents, all action necessary to convene a meeting of holders of the Company Common Stock (the “Stockholders Meeting”) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement to consider and vote upon the adoption of this Agreement. In connection therewith, the Company shall establish a record date for the Stockholders Meeting that is as early as is reasonably practicable, which such record date shall not be changed once established without the consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or as required by applicable Law. Following the distribution of the Proxy Statement pursuant to Section 5.4, the date of the Stockholders Meeting may not be changed, and the Stockholders Meeting may not otherwise be adjourned, recessed or postponed, without the consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or as required by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, on a date that is two Business Days prior to the date the Stockholders Meeting is scheduled (the “Original Date”), (a) the Company reasonably believes it will not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, or (b) it is necessary to adjourn, recess or postpone the Stockholders Meeting to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is delivered, the Company may adjourn, recess or postpone or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Stockholders Meeting, as long as the date of the Stockholders Meeting is not adjourned, recessed or postponed more than ten days from the Original Date in reliance on this sentence. Subject to Section 5.3, the Company Board shall recommend such adoption and shall take all lawful action to solicit the Company Stockholder Approval, including engaging a proxy solicitation firm for the purpose of assisting in the solicitation of proxies for the Stockholders Meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any Change of Recommendation, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the time of the Stockholders Meeting, the Stockholders Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement shall be submitted to the Company’s stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval.

Section 5.6    Filings; Other Actions; Notification.

(a)    Proxy Statement. The Company shall promptly notify Parent of the receipt of any comments of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and of any request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement thereto or for additional information and shall promptly provide to Parent copies of all correspondence between the Company and/or any of its Representatives and the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement. The Company and Parent shall each use its reasonable best efforts to promptly provide responses to the SEC with respect to all comments received in respect of the Proxy Statement by the SEC and to promptly resolve such comments with the SEC, and the Company shall cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date the SEC staff advises that it has no further comments thereon or that the Company may commence mailing the Proxy Statement. The

34

Company shall ensure that the Proxy Statement complies as to form in all material respects with the provisions of the Exchange Act (and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder). If at any time prior to the Stockholders Meeting, any fact, event or circumstance relating to the Company or Parent or any of their respective Affiliates is discovered by the Company or Parent, which such fact, event or circumstance is required, pursuant to the Exchange Act, to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, (i) the applicable party shall promptly inform the other parties hereto and (ii) the Company shall promptly amend or supplement the Proxy Statement to include disclosure of such fact, event or circumstance. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company agrees to correct any information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement which shall have become materially false or misleading.

(b)    Cooperation. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement and applicable Laws, including the Antitrust Laws, to consummate and make effective the Merger as soon as practicable, including (x) preparing and filing as promptly as practicable (and in any event shall make appropriate filings pursuant to the HSR Act within ten (10) Business Days of the Agreement Date) all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings to, and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from, any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in order to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions and (y) executing and delivering any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and Parent will each request, where available, early termination of the waiting period with respect to the Merger under the HSR Act and under applicable Foreign Antitrust Laws. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and Parent shall submit, or cause to be submitted as promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, (I) a draft of the joint notice to CFIUS (“CFIUS Notice”) contemplated under 31 C.F.R. § 800.501(g) with respect to the Merger, (II) as promptly as practicable after receiving feedback from CFIUS regarding the draft CFIUS Notice referenced in clause (I), a formal CFIUS Notice as contemplated by 31 C.F.R. § 800.501(a), and (III) as soon as possible (and in any event in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements) any other submissions that are formally requested by CFIUS to be made, or which the Company and Parent mutually agree should be made, in each case in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions. Parent shall be responsible for all filing fees payable to a Governmental Authority in connection with all filings pursuant to Antitrust Laws or the CFIUS Notice hereunder. The Company and Parent, and their respective Subsidiaries and Representatives, shall, unless prohibited by applicable Law or the applicable Governmental Authority, (i) keep one another promptly apprised of any substantive communications with a Governmental Authority concerning the Merger or any of the other Transactions; (ii) respond as promptly as practicable to all requests for additional information from a Governmental Authority under any Antitrust Law concerning the Merger or any of the other Transactions; (iii) provide each other in advance, with a reasonable opportunity for review and comment, drafts of contemplated substantive communications with any Governmental Authority concerning the Merger or any of the other Transactions; and (iv) provide each other advance notice of all meetings, conferences, or substantive discussions with a Governmental Authority concerning the Merger or any of the other Transactions, and, unless prohibited by the Governmental Authority, permit one another to attend and participate therein either directly or through counsel. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, and subject to reasonable confidentiality considerations, Parent and the Company shall have the right to review reasonably in advance and, to the extent practicable, each will consult with the other on and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of the Company and Parent shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries to take or agree to take any action with

35

respect to its business or operations unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon Closing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall, on behalf of the parties hereto, but in consultation with the Company, (A) control and lead all communications and strategy for dealing with any Governmental Authority with respect to any consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained therefrom and (B) control and lead the defense strategy for dealing with any Legal Proceeding challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger or the other Transactions. In no event shall the Company or the Company Subsidiaries agree to any obligation or concession or other action relating to any consent, registration, approval, permit or authorization to be obtained from a Governmental Authority without the prior written consent of Parent.

(c)    Information. Subject to applicable Laws, the Company and Parent each shall, upon request by the other, furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its respective Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters, in each case, as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger, and shall provide the other party with final copies of any filings made with a Governmental Authority.

(d)    Status. Subject to applicable Laws and the instructions of any Governmental Authority, the Company and Parent each shall keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the Merger, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of filings, submissions, notices or other communications sent or received by Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, as the case may be, to or from any third party and/or any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions. Neither the Company nor Parent shall permit any of its officers or any other Representatives to participate in any meeting or substantive discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry with respect to the Transactions unless, to the extent legally permissible and reasonably practicable, (i) it consults with the other party in advance and (ii) unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or substantive discussion.

(e)    Regulatory Matters. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, without limiting the generality of the other undertakings pursuant to this Section 5.6, each of the Company (in the case of Section 5.6(e)(i) and Section 5.6(e)(iii) set forth below) and Parent (in all cases set forth below) agree to take or cause to be taken the following actions:

(i)    the prompt provision to each and every federal, state, local or foreign court or Governmental Authority of non-privileged information and documents requested by any Governmental Authority or to permit consummation of the Transactions;

(ii)    the prompt use of its reasonable best efforts to avoid the entry of any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other order, decree, decision, determination or judgment that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Transactions, including, the defense through litigation on the merits of any claim asserted in any court, agency or other proceeding by any Person, including, any Governmental Authority, seeking to delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of such transactions and the proffer and agreement by Parent of its willingness to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of, or hold separate pending such disposition, and promptly to effect the sale, lease, license, disposal and holding separate of, such assets, rights, product lines, licenses, categories of assets or businesses or other operations, or interests therein, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (and the entry into agreements with, and submission to orders of, the relevant Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over enforcement of any applicable Antitrust Laws (“Government Antitrust Entity”) giving effect thereto) if such action should be reasonably necessary or

Section 5.10    Directors and Officers Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)    Existing Agreements and Protections. The Surviving Corporation, its Subsidiaries and Parent shall honor and fulfill in all respects the indemnification, exculpation, and advancement obligations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Persons”) for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, in each case as provided in the Company Charter Documents, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company Subsidiaries and any indemnification agreement between any Indemnified Person and the Company or any Company Subsidiary (in each case, as in effect on the Agreement Date and, in the case of any indemnification agreement, as set forth in Section 5.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter and of which the Company has made available to Parent a true and correct copy). In addition, commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation

38

and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Company Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses with respect to acts or omissions prior to the Effective Time that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the Company Charter Documents and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company Subsidiaries as of the Agreement Date, as applicable, and such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) in any manner except as required by applicable Law.

(b)    Indemnification. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 5.10(a), during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including, to the extent applicable, a duty to advance reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry arises directly or indirectly out of or pertains directly or indirectly to (i) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or other Affiliates that occurred prior to or at the Effective Time or (ii) any of the Transactions; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification or advancement under this Section 5.10(b), then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such claim, the Surviving Corporation shall pay all and/or advance reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by an Indemnified Person promptly after statements therefor are received. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any settlement effected without his or her prior express written consent.

(c)    Insurance. Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall purchase a six-year “tail” prepaid policy on the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”); provided, that the Company shall not be permitted to expend, on such “tail” policy, an annual premium amount in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for the D&O Insurance; provided, further, that, if the amount necessary to procure such “tail” policy exceeds such maximum amount, the Company shall procure as much coverage as may be obtained for such maximum amount. 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.

(d)    Successors and Assigns. If the Surviving Corporation (or Parent) or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation (or Parent) set forth in this Section 5.10.

(e)    No Impairment; Third Party Beneficiaries. The obligations set forth in this Section 5.10 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 5.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) without the prior written consent of such

39

affected Indemnified Person or other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 5.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives). Each of the Indemnified Persons or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 5.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.10, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 5.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 5.10 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, or applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).

(f)    Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations and liability of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries under this Section 5.10 shall be joint and several.

(g)    Preservation of Other Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.10 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

Section 5.11    Transaction Litigation. Prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, the Company shall promptly notify Parent of all Legal Proceedings commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors or officers, in each case in connection with, arising from or otherwise relating to the Merger or any of the other Transactions (“Transaction Litigation”) (including by providing copies of all pleadings with respect thereto) and thereafter keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. The Company shall (a) give Parent reasonable opportunity (at Parent’s sole expense and subject to a customary joint defense agreement) to participate in the defense, settlement or prosecution of any Transaction Litigation; and (b) consult with Parent with respect to the defense, settlement and prosecution of any Transaction Litigation. Further, the Company may not compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding, or propose or agree to compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding, any Transaction Litigation unless Parent has consented thereto in writing (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For the avoidance of doubt, Parent’s right to “participate” in the defense and prosecution of any Transaction Litigation shall not afford Parent any decision-making power over such Transaction Litigation except for the settlement or compromise consent set forth above.

Section 5.12    Rule 16b-3. Merger Subsidiary, Parent and the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause the Transactions, and any other dispositions of equity securities (including derivative securities) of the Company or acquisitions of equity securities of Parent resulting from the Transactions by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.13    Employee Matters.

(a)    For purposes of this Section 5.13, (i) the term “Covered Employees” means employees who are employed by the Company or any Company Subsidiary as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) the term “Continuation Period” means the period beginning at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Time.

40

(b)    During the Continuation Period, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any Company Subsidiary to, provide to each Covered Employee for so long as such Covered Employee remains employed by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Company Subsidiary during the Continuation Period, (i) compensation (such term to include salary, annual cash bonus opportunities, commissions and severance) that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the compensation (excluding any equity or equity-based compensation, retention, change of control, transaction or similar bonuses, and nonqualified deferred compensation) provided to such Covered Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) benefits (including the costs thereof to Company Employee Benefit Plan participants) that are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to the benefits (excluding, any defined benefit pension plan, retiree medical benefits, equity or equity-based compensation, retention, change of control, transaction or similar bonuses, and nonqualified deferred compensation) provided to such Covered Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c)    In the event any Covered Employee first becomes eligible to participate under any employee benefit plan, program, policy, or arrangement of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries (“Parent Employee Benefit Plan”) following the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to, for Covered Employees who become eligible during the calendar year including the Effective Time: (i) waive any preexisting condition exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to any Covered Employee under any Parent Employee Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, or vision benefits to the same extent such limitation was waived or satisfied under the Company Employee Benefit Plan the Covered Employee participated in immediately prior to coverage under the Parent Employee Benefit Plan and (ii) provide each Covered Employee with credit for any copayments and deductibles paid prior to the Covered Employee’s coverage under any Parent Employee Benefit Plan during the calendar year in which such amount was paid, to the same extent such credit was given under the Company Employee Benefit Plan in which the Covered Employee participated immediately prior to coverage under the Parent Employee Benefit Plan, in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under the Parent Employee Benefit Plan.

(d)    As of the Effective Time, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, all service of each Covered Employee prior to the Effective Time, to the Company (or any predecessor entities of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries) for vesting and eligibility purposes (but not for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical benefits, as applicable) to the same extent as such Covered Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Plan in which such Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time. In no event shall anything contained in this Section 5.13(d) result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(e)    Without limiting the generality of Section 8.4, nothing in this Section 5.13 shall (i) be construed to limit the right of Parent, the Company, or any of the Company Subsidiaries (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) to amend or terminate any Company Plan or other employee benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement to the extent such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable plan, (ii) be construed as an amendment to any Company Plan or other employee benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (iii) be construed to require Parent, the Company, or any of the Company Subsidiaries (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) to retain the employment of any particular Person for any fixed period of time following the Effective Time or (iv) create any third-party beneficiary or other right in any other Person, including any current or former director, officer, employee or other service provider or any participant in any Company Plan, Parent Employee Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, program, policy, arrangement or agreement (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof), including any Covered Employee.

41

Section 5.14    Confidentiality. The parties hereto acknowledge that Parent and the Company have previously executed a nondisclosure agreement, dated as of February 16, 2021 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, except as expressly modified herein, it being understood that the term “Recipient Representatives” thereunder shall be deemed to include the Financing Parties.

Section 5.15    Financing.

(a)    Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary to consummate the funding of the Financing or any Substitute Financing in an amount sufficient, together with cash on hand and/or the proceeds of any offering (any such offering, “Permanent Financing”) that in each case replaces or supplements the Financing consistent with the terms set forth in this Section 5.15, to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (including the payment of the Merger Consideration, any other amounts required to be paid pursuant to Article I and any other fees and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby) no later than the Closing, including, to the extent necessary to consummate the Merger and such other transactions, using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Documents and in all material respects comply with all of their respective obligations thereunder and (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all the conditions to the funding of the Financing that are in Parent’s (or its Subsidiaries’) control. In the event that all conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been satisfied or waived or, upon funding of the Financing, shall have been satisfied or waived, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to cause the Persons providing the Financing to fund on the Closing Date the Financing, to the extent the proceeds thereof are required to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (including the payment of the Merger Consideration, any other amounts required to be paid pursuant to Article I and any other fees and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby). Parent and/or Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, as the same shall become due and payable, all fees and other amounts under the Financing Documents.

(b)    Parent will keep the Company reasonably informed on a timely basis of the status of the Financing and the satisfaction of the conditions thereof, including providing copies of any amendment, modification, supplement or replacement of the Financing Documents (provided, that any syndication letter or fee letter may be redacted to remove the fee amounts, the rates and amounts included in the “market flex” and other economic terms that could not adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, termination or aggregate principal amount of the Financing) and shall give the Company prompt notice of any fact, change, event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse impact on the availability of the Financing necessary for the satisfaction of all of Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations under this Agreement, including the payment of the Merger Consideration, any other amounts required to be paid pursuant to Article I and any other fees and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including, promptly after obtaining Knowledge thereof, providing the Company written notice of any (A) material breach or default by a Financing Party or any other party of any Financing Document or any other definitive document related to the Financing, (B) actual or threatened withdrawal, repudiation or termination in writing of any of the Financing Documents by the Financing Parties or (C) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Financing Documents or any other definitive document related to the Financing, on the one hand, and Parent or Borrower, on the other hand, in each case with respect to the obligations to fund the Financing or the amount of the Financing

42

to be funded at Closing; provided, that neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to disclose any information that is subject to attorney client or similar privilege to the extent such privilege is asserted in good faith or otherwise would violate or contravene any Law or any obligation of confidentiality. Parent and Borrower may amend, modify, replace, terminate, assign or agree to any waiver under the Financing Documents without the prior written approval of the Company, provided, that Parent and Borrower shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, permit any such amendment, replacement, modification, assignment, termination or waiver to be made to, or consent to any waiver of, any provision of or remedy under the Financing Documents which would (i) reduce the aggregate cash amounts of the Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or the original issue discount) unless the aggregate amount of the Financing following such reduction, together with cash on hand, the net proceeds of any Permanent Financing and other financial resources of Parent on the Closing Date, is sufficient to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including the payment of the Merger Consideration, any other amounts required to be paid pursuant to Article I and any other fees and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that any such reduction in such amounts in accordance with the terms of the Financing Documents or as a result of the consummation of any Permanent Financing shall be permitted), (ii) impose new or additional conditions to the Financing or otherwise expand, amend, modify or waive any of the conditions to the funding of the Financing or (iii) otherwise expand, amend, modify or waive any provision of the Financing Documents, in a manner that in any such case would reasonably be expected to (A) materially delay or make less likely the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the funding of the Financing) on the Closing Date or (B) materially adversely affect the ability of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to timely consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and Borrower may modify, supplement or amend the Financing Documents to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Financing Documents as of the date of this Agreement; provided, further, that any such additional lenders which assume commitments in respect of the Financing Documents shall be bona fide lenders of substantially the same, or better, credit quality (as determined by Parent in good faith) as the Financing Parties on the date hereof. In the event that new credit agreements, syndication letters and/or fee letters are entered into in accordance with any amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification of the Financing Documents permitted pursuant to this Section 5.15, such new credit agreements, syndication letters and/or fee letters shall be deemed to be “Financing Documents” for all purposes of this Agreement and references to “Financing” herein shall include and mean the financing contemplated by the Financing Documents as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, as applicable. Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any termination, amendment, modification, waiver or replacement of the Financing Documents. If funds with respect to all or any portion of the Financing become unavailable (other than in accordance with the terms of the Financing Documents or as a result of the receipt of net proceeds of any Permanent Financing), Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event (x) notify the Company in writing thereof and (y) use reasonable best efforts to obtain substitute financing, including, as applicable, a commitment to provide such substitute financing (on terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable to Parent and/or Borrower, taken as a whole, than the terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable Financing Documents) sufficient, together with cash on hand, the net proceeds of any Permanent Financing and other financial resources of Parent on the Closing Date, to enable Parent and its Subsidiaries to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (including the payment of the Merger Consideration, any other amounts required to be paid pursuant to Article I and any other fees and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby) in accordance with the terms hereof (the “Substitute Financing”) and, promptly after execution thereof, deliver to the Company correct and complete copies of the new financing documents, including any new credit agreement or commitment letter and any related syndication letters and/or fee letters (in redacted form removing the fee amounts, the rates and amounts included in the “market flex” and other economic terms that could not

43

adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, termination or aggregate principal amount of the Financing) with respect to such Substitute Financing. Upon obtaining any such Substitute Financing (or commitment therefor), such financing shall be deemed to be a part of the “Financing” and each credit agreement or commitment letter and any related syndication letters and/or fee letters for such Substitute Financing shall be deemed to be a “Financing Document”, in each case, for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c)    The Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to, on a timely basis, upon the reasonable request of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, provide cooperation in connection with the Financing or any other debt, equity, equity-linked or other financing (including any Permanent Financing) of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including the following:

(i)    furnishing, or causing to be furnished, to Parent, any of the Subsidiaries of Parent and the Financing Parties and their respective agents financial information with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Parent, any of Parent’s Subsidiaries or the Financing Parties in connection with an offer or sale of securities in connection with such financing (other than any pro forma financial statements, which shall be the responsibility of Parent);

(ii)    using reasonable best efforts to cause the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ independent accountants to participate in a manner consistent with their customary practice in drafting sessions and accounting due diligence sessions in connection with such financing;

(iii)    using reasonable best efforts to assist Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in (including by providing information relating to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries required in connection with) its preparation of rating agency presentations, road show materials, bank information memoranda, projections, prospectuses, bank syndication materials, credit agreements, offering memoranda, private placement memoranda, definitive financing documents (as well as customary certificates) and similar or related documents to be prepared by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such financings;

(iv)    using reasonable best efforts to cooperate with customary marketing efforts of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries for any financing in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including using reasonable best efforts to cause its management team, with appropriate seniority and expertise, to assist in preparation for and to participate in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions (including accounting due diligence sessions), drafting sessions, and sessions with rating agencies, in each case, upon reasonable notice and at mutually agreeable dates and times and using reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication effort benefits from any existing lending and investment banking relationships;

(v)    delivering to Parent any materials and documentation about the Company and the Company Subsidiaries required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering Laws (including the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2001, the UK Money Laundering Regulations 2019) and any European Union legislation on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing (including Directive (EU) 2015/849 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015), as adopted and implemented from time to time at a national level by the country of incorporation or organization of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, to the extent reasonably requested by any Financing Party or Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries not less than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing;

44

(vi)    cooperating with respect to the provision of guarantees, including by providing for the executing and delivering of definitive documents related thereto at the Closing in connection with such financing;

(vii)    providing customary authorization letters to the Financing Parties, authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders or investors and containing a customary representation that the public side versions of such documents, if any, do not include material non-public information about the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (only to the extent such authorization letters contain customary disclaimers for the Company, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives with respect to responsibility for the use or misuse of the contents thereof); and

(viii)    providing reasonable assistance in the preparation of pro forma information, risk factor disclosure and other disclosures required to consummate such financing.

(d)    All non-public information regarding the Company or the Company Subsidiaries obtained by Parent or its Representatives, in each case pursuant to Section 5.15(c) or Section 5.9, shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that such information may be disclosed (i) to prospective lenders, underwriters, initial purchasers, placement agents, dealer managers, solicitation agents, information agents and depositary or other agents during syndication and marketing of the financing that enter into confidentiality arrangements customary for financing transactions of the same type as such financing (including customary “click-through” confidentiality undertakings) and (ii) on a confidential basis to rating agencies. The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ trademarks, service marks and logos solely in connection with the financing for the Merger; provided that such trademarks, service marks and logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or its Affiliates or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries.

(e)    In connection with Section 5.15(c) and Section 5.9, (w) neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any liability or expenses in connection with any financing to be obtained by Parent or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except such expenses for which Parent or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to reimburse the Company or, if reasonably requested by the Company, for which funds that are actually necessary to pay such expenses are provided in advance by Parent or one of its Subsidiaries to the Company, (x) neither the Company or any Company Subsidiary nor any director or officer of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to execute any agreement, certificate, document or instrument with respect to such financing (except as explicitly provided in Section 5.9) that would be effective prior to the Closing (other than customary authorization letters pursuant to Section 5.5(c)(vii)), (y) any required cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries and (z) neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives shall be required to take or cause to be taken any action pursuant to Section 5.15(c) or Section 5.9 that (1) would cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries; (2) would conflict with (A) the organizational documents of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or any material Laws or (B) obligations of confidentiality from a third party (not created in contemplation hereof) binding on the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (provided that in the event that the Company or the Company Subsidiaries do not provide information in reliance on the exclusion in this clause (B), the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall provide notice to Parent promptly that such information is being withheld (but solely if providing such notice would not violate such obligation of confidentiality)); (3) would require providing access to or disclosing information that would jeopardize any attorney-client or work product privilege of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (provided that the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to allow for such access to the maximum extent that does not result in a

waiver of attorney-client privilege); (4) would require its legal counsel to provide any legal opinions (except as explicitly provided in Section 5.9) or (5) would require the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to prepare any projections or pro forma financial information. The Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall be indemnified and held harmless by Parent and its Subsidiaries from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with such financing to the fullest extent permitted by Law and with appropriate contribution to the extent such indemnification is not available, other than to the extent any such liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments or penalties are the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives. Parent shall promptly, upon written request by the Company, reimburse the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses actually incurred by each such Person in connection with the cooperation provided under this Section 5.15 and Section 5.9, or such financing, whether or not the Merger is consummated or this Agreement is terminated.

(f)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent and Merger Subsidiary each acknowledge and agree that the receipt and availability of any funds or financing is not a condition to the Closing under this Agreement.

Section 5.16    Obligations of Merger Subsidiary. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Subsidiary and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger and the Transactions upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Parent and Merger Subsidiary will be jointly and severally liable for the failure by either of them to perform and discharge any of their respective covenants, agreements and obligations pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 5.19    Takeover Statutes. If any “takeover law” is or may become applicable to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and its board of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

Section 5.20    Notification of Certain Matters.

(a)    Unless prohibited by applicable Law, Parent and the Company shall each promptly notify the other party upon receiving Knowledge of (a) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions or (b) any event, effect, occurrence, fact, circumstance, condition or change that would reasonably be expected to

46

give rise to a failure of a condition precedent in Article VI; provided, however, that the failure to make any such notification (in and of itself) shall not be taken into account in determining whether the conditions set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or give rise to any right of termination to any party hereto under Article VII.

(b)    Unless prohibited by applicable Law, the Company shall (and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to) take the actions specified on Section 5.20(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

Section 5.21    Tax Cooperation. The Company shall (i) furnish Parent, in a timely manner, with any information, documents, work papers and other materials as Parent may reasonably request in connection with Tax-related matters (including with respect to due diligence, restructuring and integration planning and Tax reform), (ii) make its employees, representatives and advisors available upon reasonable advance notice during normal business hours to provide explanations of such information, documents, work papers and other materials and (iii) reasonably cooperate in connection with such matters. Prior to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries effecting or otherwise engaging in any material Tax planning strategies or transactions, the Company shall reasonably consult with Parent. The Company shall consider in good faith any restructuring steps that Parent requests the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to consummate prior to the Closing.

(a)    by mutual written agreement of Parent and the Company; or

(b)    by either Parent or the Company if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before October 11, 2021 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to any party hereto whose failure to perform or comply with any obligation under this Agreement has been the principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time to have occurred on or before the Termination Date; or

(c)    by either Parent or the Company if the Stockholders Meeting shall have been held and the Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained thereat or at any adjournment or postponement thereof; or

(d)    by either Parent or the Company if any Legal Restraint permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Merger shall become final and nonappealable (whether before or after the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval); or

(e)    by the Company in the event (i) of a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Merger Subsidiary set forth in this Agreement or (ii) that any of the representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Subsidiary set forth in this Agreement shall have been inaccurate when

49

made or shall have become inaccurate, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) and Section 6.3(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become inaccurate, as applicable; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that such breach by Parent or Merger Subsidiary or such inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of Parent or Merger Subsidiary are curable by Parent or Merger Subsidiary prior to the Termination Date through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, then the Company shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(e) until the earlier to occur of (A) thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of written notice from the Company to Parent of such breach or inaccuracy, as applicable or (B) Parent or Merger Subsidiary ceasing or failing to exercise and continuing not to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach or inaccuracy (it being understood that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(e) if such breach or inaccuracy by Parent or Merger Subsidiary is cured within such thirty (30) calendar day period); or

(f)    by the Company, at any time prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, if (i) the Company Board authorizes the Company, subject to complying with the terms of Section 5.3, to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal; and (ii) the Company pays to Parent the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.4(b); or

A party terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 (other than Section 7.1(a)) shall deliver a written notice to the other party setting forth specific basis for such termination and the specific provision of Section 7.1 pursuant to which this Agreement is being terminated. A valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 (other than Section 7.1(a)) shall be effective upon receipt by the non-terminating party of the foregoing written notice, validly given.

Section 7.3    Effect of Termination. In the event of a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect without liability of any party or parties hereto, as applicable (or any stockholder, director, manager, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party or parties) to the other party or parties hereto, as applicable, except (a) for the terms of Section 5.8, Section 5.14, this Section 7.3, Section 7.4 and Article VIII, each of which shall

50

survive the termination of this Agreement, (b) that nothing herein shall relieve any party or parties hereto, as applicable, from liability for any Fraud committed in connection with this Agreement or any of Transactions and (c) that nothing herein shall relieve any party or parties hereto, as applicable, from liability for Willful Breach in connection with this Agreement or any of the Transactions. In addition to the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties hereto set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms and remain fully enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. For purposes of this Agreement, “Willful Breach” means a breach that is a consequence of an act or omission undertaken by the breaching party with the Knowledge that the taking of or the omission of taking such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause or constitute a material breach of this Agreement; provided that, without limiting the meaning of Willful Breach, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any failure by any party to consummate the Merger and the Transactions after the applicable conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or waived (except for those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, which conditions would be capable of being satisfied at the time of such failure to consummate the Merger), including as a result of a failure to have necessary financing to cause the Closing to occur, shall constitute a Willful Breach of this Agreement.

Section 7.4    Company Termination Fees.

(a)    In the event that (A) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(c), (B) following the execution of this Agreement and prior to the termination thereof, an offer or proposal for a Competing Acquisition Transaction is publicly announced or shall become publicly known and is not publicly withdrawn without qualification at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Stockholders Meeting and (C) within twelve (12) months following the termination of this Agreement, a Competing Acquisition Transaction is consummated or the Company enters into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Competing Acquisition Transaction, then within two (2) Business Days after the earlier of the entry into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement and the consummation of a Competing Acquisition Transaction, the Company shall pay to Parent (or its designee) the Company Termination Fee. “Company Termination Fee” means an amount equal to $59,220,000.

(b)    In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(f), then as a condition to such termination of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Parent (or its designee) the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent.

(c)    In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(h), then within two (2) Business Days after demand by Parent, the Company shall pay to Parent (or its designee) the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent.

(d)    The parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Company Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events.

(e)    Recovery. Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 7.4 are an integral part of this Agreement and the Merger, and that, without these agreements, Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay any amounts due pursuant to Section 7.4 and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a Legal Proceeding that results in a judgment against the Company for the amount set forth in Section 7.4 or any portion thereof, the Company

51

will pay to Parent its out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs) in connection with such Legal Proceeding, together with interest on such amount or portion thereof at the annual rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date that such payment or portion thereof was required to be made through the date that such payment or portion thereof was actually received, or a lesser rate that is the maximum permitted by applicable Law.

(f)    Acknowledgement. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.4 are not a penalty but rather constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions and shall be (together with all interest as described in Section 7.4(e)) the sole monetary remedy of Parent in the event of a termination of this Agreement where the Company Termination Fee is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 7.4 and the Company Termination Fee is actually paid to Parent.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 8.1    Amendment or Supplement. Subject to applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time only by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company; provided, however, that after the Company Stockholder Approval shall have been obtained, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement that requires the further approval of such stockholders of the Company without such further approval.

Section 8.2    Extension of Time, Waiver, etc. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party may, subject to applicable Law: (a) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party hereto; provided, however, that after adoption of this Agreement by the holders of Company Common Stock (if applicable), no waiver shall be made which would pursuant to applicable Law require further approval by such holders without obtaining such further approval; (b) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of any other party hereto; or (c) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements contained in this Agreement.

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

Section 8.3    No Survival. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing. This Section 8.3 shall not limit the survival of any covenant or agreement of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement which by its terms contemplates performance in whole or in part after the Closing.

Section 8.4    Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement, including the exhibits hereto, the Company Disclosure Letter and the documents and instruments relating to the Merger referred to in this Agreement, constitutes, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, provided, however, the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded, shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES

This Agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to create any agreement of employment with any person, to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns or to otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto, except (a) with respect to the Indemnified Persons who are express third party beneficiaries of Section 5.10 and (b) from and after the Effective Time, the right of the holders of Company Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration payable in accordance with Section 1.3.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, subject to Section 7.4, (A) the parties hereto will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof; (B) the provisions of Section 7.4 are not intended to and do not adequately compensate Parent and Merger Subsidiary for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement, and will not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any party’s right to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief; and (C) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement.

(d)    The parties hereto hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by any party hereto, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of any party under this Agreement.

The parties hereto further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 8.5, a party hereto shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 8.5 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 8.5 shall require any party hereto to institute any proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 8.5 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article VII (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 8.5 or anything set forth in this Section 8.5 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VII or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent any party hereto brings an action, suit or proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than an action to specifically enforce any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement) when expressly available to such party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended to (i) the twentieth (20th) business day following the resolution of such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, suit or proceeding.
