AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of November 1, 2015 (this “Agreement”), among Magnitude Parent Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), Magnitude Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and an indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and MedAssets, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, it is proposed that Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company under the Laws of Delaware (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger and becoming a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Parent as a result of the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”);

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has (i) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement, (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger and (iii) resolved to recommend adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Board of Managers of Parent and the Board of Directors of Merger Sub have approved this Agreement and declared it advisable for Parent and Merger Sub, respectively, to enter into this Agreement;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement Pamplona Capital Partners IV, L.P. (the “Guarantor”) is entering into a limited guarantee in favor of the Company (the “Limited Guarantee”) with respect to certain obligations of Parent and Merger Sub under this Agreement; and

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

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

ARTICLE I.

THE MERGER

Section 1.1. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease and the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger and continue as a Delaware corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) as a result of the Merger.

Section 1.2. Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place on the date that is the later of (a) the second Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable Law) of the conditions (excluding conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, where permitted, waiver of those conditions as of the Closing) set forth in Article VIII and (b) the next Business Day following the final day of the Marketing Period or such earlier Business Day during the Marketing Period as may be specified by Parent on no less than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Company (which date set forth in such notice may be conditioned on the contemporaneous consummation of the Financing), unless another time or date is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto (the date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be held at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

Section 1.3. Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger executed in accordance with, and containing such information as is required by, the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”) in order to effect the Merger. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL, or at such later time as is agreed by the parties hereto prior to the Closing Date and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4. Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided for in this Agreement and the DGCL. Under the DGCL, from and after the Effective Time: (a) the Merger of the Company and Merger Sub and their continuance as one company shall become effective; (b) the property of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the property of the Surviving Corporation; (c) the Surviving Corporation shall continue to be liable for the obligations and liabilities of each of the Company and Merger Sub; (d) any existing cause of action, claim or liability to prosecution shall be unaffected; (e) a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding pending by or against the Company or Merger Sub may be continued to be prosecuted by or against the Surviving Corporation; and (f) a conviction against, or ruling, order or judgment in favor of or against, the Company or Merger Sub may be enforced by or against the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.5. Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be in the form of (except with respect to the name of the Company) the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of Merger Sub, and as so amended shall be the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

- 2 -

Section 1.6. Directors; Officers.

(a) The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.7. Effect on Share Capital. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof:

(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares or shares referred to in Section 1.7(f)) shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive $31.35 in cash, without interest, and the Additional Per Share Consideration, if any (together, the “Merger Consideration”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Additional Per Share Consideration” means, if the Effective Time does not occur on or prior to January 30, 2016 (the “Trigger Date”) and the failure of the Effective Time to occur on or prior the Trigger Date was not caused by the failure of the Company to perform in all material respects its obligations under this Agreement, an amount (rounded down to the nearest ▇▇▇▇▇) in cash equal to the product of (i) the number of days during the period commencing on, and including, the Trigger Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date and (ii) $0.008589041 (for purposes of illustration, the Additional Per Share Consideration for a 30 day calendar month would equal $0.25).

(b) Cancellation of Company Common Stock. As of the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares or shares referred to in Section 1.7(f)) shall cease to be outstanding and shall be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (a “Certificate”) shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock, except the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2, without interest.

(c) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior

- 3 -

to the Effective Time and that are held by a stockholder who has properly exercised and perfected its, his or her appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (the “Dissenting Shares”), but instead such holder shall be entitled to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (or any successor provision) (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost rights to appraisal under the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration for each such share of Company Common Stock, in accordance with Section 2.2, without any interest thereon. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate, at its expense, in negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands for appraisal. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Effective Time the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), make any payment or agree to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands for a payment.

(e) Changes to Company Stock. If after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, the Company should split, subdivide, consolidate, combine or otherwise reclassify the Company Common Stock, or pay a stock dividend in Company Common Stock, or otherwise change the Company Common Stock into any other securities, or pay any other such stock dividend in respect of the Company Common Stock, then any number or amount contained herein that is based upon the price of Company Common Stock or the number of shares of Company Common Stock, as the case may be, will be appropriately adjusted to reflect such split, combination, dividend or other distribution or change.

(f) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock; Treatment of Stock Held by Company Subsidiaries. As of the Effective Time, (i) all shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and (ii) all shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent (other than Merger Sub) or the Company shall be converted into and become validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (except that the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by any such Subsidiary may be adjusted following the Merger to maintain relative ownership percentages).

Section 1.8. Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) Treatment of Company Options. Each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that was granted pursuant to any of the Company Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested (each, a “Company Option”), shall, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, become fully vested (to the extent not already vested) and be cancelled and of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Option multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option.

(b) Treatment of Company Restricted Share Awards. Each award of Company Common Stock granted subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions pursuant to any of the Company Stock Plans that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time(each, a “Company Restricted Share Award”), shall be subject to this Section 1.8(b). Each Company Restricted Share Award subject only to time vesting conditions shall become fully vested immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each Company Restricted Share Award subject to performance vesting conditions for which the applicable performance period is not completed as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Performance Share”) shall vest subject to the following rules: (1) each agreement, plan or arrangement covering Performance Shares that specifies the level of performance at which the Performance Shares shall be earned in the event of a change in control shall be applied and enforced; (2) with respect to Performance Shares for which no applicable agreement, plan or arrangement specifies the level of performance at which the Performance Shares shall be earned in the event of a change in control, the number of Performance Shares that vest immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be based on the target performance; and (3) each Performance Share that does not vest in accordance with clause (1) or clause (2) shall be cancelled and terminated without consideration immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each Company Restricted Share Award that vests in accordance with this Section 1.8(b) shall be cancelled and of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such vested Company Restricted Share Award and (ii) the Merger Consideration.

(c) Treatment of Company Restricted Share Units. Each award of a restricted stock unit granted pursuant to the Company Stock Plans that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Restricted Share Unit”), shall be subject to this Section 1.8(c). Each Company Restricted Share Unit subject only to time vesting conditions shall become fully vested immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each Company Restricted Share Unit subject to performance vesting conditions for which the applicable performance period is not completed as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Performance Unit”) shall vest subject to the following rules: (1) each agreement, plan or arrangement covering Performance Units that specifies the level of performance at which the Performance Units shall be earned in the event of a change in control shall be applied and enforced; (2) with respect to Performance Units for which no applicable agreement, plan or arrangement specifies the level of performance at which the Performance Units shall be earned in the event of a change in control, the number of Performance Units that vest immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be

- 5 -

based on the target performance; and (3) each Performance Unit that does not vest in accordance with clause (1) or clause (2) shall be cancelled and terminated without consideration immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each Company Restricted Share Unit that vests in accordance with this Section 1.8(c) shall be cancelled and of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such vested Company Restricted Share Unit and (ii) the Merger Consideration.

(d) Treatment of Company SARs. Each award of a share appreciation right representing a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that was granted pursuant to any of the Company Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested (each, a “Company SAR”), shall be subject to this Section 1.8(d). Each Company SAR subject only to time vesting conditions shall become fully vested immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each Company SAR subject to performance vesting conditions for which the applicable performance period is not completed as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Performance SAR”) shall vest subject to the following rules: (1) each agreement, plan or arrangement covering Performance SARs that specifies the level of performance at which the Performance SARs shall be earned in the event of a change in control shall be applied and enforced; (2) with respect to Performance SARs for which no applicable agreement, plan or arrangement specifies the level of performance at which the Performance SARs shall be earned in the event of a change in control, the number of Performance SARs that vest immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be based on the target performance; and (3) each Performance SAR that does not vest in accordance with clause (1) or clause (2) shall be cancelled and terminated without consideration immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each vested Company SAR shall be cancelled and of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the base price per vested Company SAR multiplied by (ii) the total number of Company SARs subject to such award.

(e) Treatment of ESPP.

(i) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company shall adopt resolutions and take all actions necessary to (A) cause the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) not to (1) commence an offering period to purchase Company Common Stock that would otherwise begin after the end of the offering period in effect as of the date hereof or (2) accept payroll deductions to be used to purchase Company Common Stock under the ESPP after the end of the offering period in effect as of the date hereof, (B) provide that (1) each individual participating in the offering period in effect as of the date hereof will not be permitted to increase his or her payroll contribution rate pursuant to the ESPP from the rate in effect when such offering period commenced and (2) no individual will be allowed to commence participation in the ESPP following the date of this Agreement and (C) cause the ESPP to terminate immediately after the purchases set forth in Section 1.8(e)(ii).

(ii) No later than five days prior to the Effective Time, in the case of any outstanding purchase rights under the ESPP, (A) the offering period (if any) under the ESPP shall end and each participant’s accumulated payroll deduction shall be used to purchase newly issued Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the ESPP and (B) such Company Common Stock shall be treated the same as all other Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.7 of this Agreement. The Company shall make any pro rata adjustments that may be necessary to reflect the shortened offering period.

- 6 -

(f) The Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall pay to the holders of Company Options, Company Restricted Share Awards, Company Restricted Share Units, and Company SARs the cash amounts described in this Section 1.8 less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Law relating to Tax with respect to the vesting of the award or making of such payment, on the first payroll date following the Effective Time. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted, such withheld amounts shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holders of Company Options, Company Restricted Share Awards, Company Restricted Share Units, and Company SARs in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. For each Company Option or Company SAR, if the applicable exercise price per share of Company Common Stock or base price per Company SAR equals or exceeds the Merger Consideration, such Company Option or Company SAR, as applicable, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration, and all rights with respect to such Company Option or Company SAR, as applicable, shall terminate as of the Effective Time.

(g) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions in its control necessary (including adopting any required resolutions and seeking any required holder consents) to (i) effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.8 and (ii) to provide that all Company Options, Company Restricted Share Awards, Company Restricted Share Units, Company SARs and Company Stock Plans shall terminate as of the Effective Time and shall no longer have any force or effect, and the provisions in any other Company Benefit Plan or contract providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be cancelled as of the Effective Time and shall no longer have any force or effect.

ARTICLE II.

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1. Exchange Fund. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with a bank or trust company as Parent shall determine and who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), in trust for the benefit of holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with Section 1.7(a), immediately available funds equal to the aggregate Merger Consideration, and Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely pay the Merger Consideration subject to and in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2 of this Agreement. Any cash deposited with the Exchange Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” Such aggregate cash deposited with the Exchange Agent shall, pending its disbursement to such holders, be invested by the Exchange

- 7 -

Agent as directed by Parent in (i) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America or (ii) 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.

Section 2.2. Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Exchange Agent will send to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock other than Dissenting Shares, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent and shall be in a reasonable and customary form) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, each holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration, without interest, for each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate and Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable pursuant to Section 1.7(a) or Section 1.8. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (x) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (y) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate surrendered and shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Payment of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

Section 2.3. No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of shares of Company Common Stock upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

Section 2.4. Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation or otherwise on the instruction of the Surviving Corporation, and any holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation and Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 1.7. Any amounts

- 8 -

remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable abandoned property, escheat, or other similar Laws, the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.5. No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 2.6. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed 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 the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate or other documentation reasonably requested by Parent, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

Section 2.7. Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent, Merger Sub and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”) or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law.

(a) For purposes of this Section 6.2, (i) “Indemnified Person” shall mean any person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the Effective Time, (x) an officer or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries or (y) serving at the request of the Company as an officer or director of another corporation, joint venture or other enterprise or general partner of any partnership or a trustee of any trust and (ii) “Proceeding” shall mean any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to provide indemnification to each Indemnified Person to the same extent and under the same conditions and procedures as such Indemnified Person is entitled on the date hereof under the Company Organizational Documents (or the corresponding organizational documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries) and as provided in employment or indemnification agreements with such Indemnified Person as in effect on the date hereof (true and complete copies of which have been provided to Parent prior to the date hereof and are listed on Schedule 3.18(a)) in connection with any Proceeding based directly or indirectly (in whole or in part) on, or arising directly or indirectly (in whole or in part) out of, the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was an officer or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer or director of another corporation, joint venture or other enterprise or general partner of any partnership or a trustee of any trust, whether pertaining to any matter pending, existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time. The Surviving Corporation shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Company Organizational Documents or the corresponding organizational documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time or in any indemnification contracts of the Company or its Subsidiaries with any of their respective directors, officers or employees as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the Effective Time were current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(c) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving Corporation shall, maintain in effect for six years from the Effective Time the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies covering acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time with respect to Indemnified Persons (provided that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies with reputable carriers of at least the same coverage containing terms, conditions and exclusions that are not less favorable to the Indemnified Persons); provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) more than an amount per year equal to 300% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance. In the event that, but for the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the Surviving Corporation would be required to expend more than 300% of current annual premiums, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain the maximum amount of such insurance obtainable by payment of annual premiums equal to 300% of current annual premiums. In lieu of the foregoing, the Company may purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a six-year “tail” prepaid officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such Indemnified Person; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company expend on such “tail” policy more than an amount per year equal to 300% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance; provided, further, that in the event, but for the immediately

If such “tail” policy has been established by the Company, Parent shall not terminate such policy and shall cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by it and the Surviving Corporation.

(d) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, the Surviving Corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable requirements under Law, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company and its Subsidiaries against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments or fines incurred by such Indemnified Person as an officer or director of the Company in connection with any pending or threatened Proceeding based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was a director or officer of the Company and its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Effective Time and pertaining to any and all matters pending, existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including any such matter arising under any claim with respect to the Transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, from the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, the Indemnifying Parties shall also, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable requirements under Law, advance reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnified Persons in connection with matters for which such Indemnified Persons are eligible to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.2(d) within 15 days after receipt by Parent of a written request for such advance, subject to the execution by such Indemnified Persons of appropriate undertakings in favor of the Indemnifying Parties to repay such advanced costs and expenses if it is ultimately determined in a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 6.2(d).

(e) In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall ensure that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation or, at Parent’s option, Parent, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.2.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.2 shall survive the consummation of the Merger for a period of six years and are (i) expressly intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons and their heirs and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.

Section 6.3. Notice of Breach. From and after the date hereof and until the earlier to occur of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX hereof, Parent shall promptly give notice upon having Knowledge of the existence of any event or circumstance that would be likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any party hereto to effect the Transactions not to be satisfied.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided and without limiting the foregoing, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall (i) promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, file any and all required notification and report forms under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger and the other Transactions, and use their reasonable best efforts to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act, (ii) use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate with each other in (x) determining whether any filings are required to be made with, or consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances, approvals, and expirations or terminations of waiting periods are required to be obtained from, any third parties or other Governmental Entities in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions and (y) making all such filings and timely obtaining all such consents, permits, authorizations or approvals as promptly as practicable, (iii) use their reasonable best efforts to supply to any Governmental Entity as promptly as practicable any additional information or documents that may be requested pursuant to any Law or by such Governmental Entity and (iv) take, or cause to be taken, all other actions and do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including taking all such further action as may be necessary to resolve such objections, if any, as the FTC, the DOJ, state antitrust enforcement authorities or competition authorities of any other nation or other jurisdiction or any other Person may assert under any Law (other than with respect to any stockholder litigation or claim related to this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions) with respect to the Transactions, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event no later than the Termination Date),

- 42 -

including (x) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any assets or businesses of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates’ or of the Company or its Subsidiaries and (y) otherwise taking or committing to take any actions that after the Closing Date would limit the freedom of Parent or its Subsidiaries’ (including the Surviving Corporation’s) or Affiliates’ freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of its or its Subsidiaries’ (including the Surviving Corporation’s) or Affiliates’ businesses, product lines or assets, in each case as may be required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the Closing (any such action, a “Remedial Action”); provided that neither Parent, the Company nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall become subject to, or consent or agree to or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, understanding, agreement or order of a Governmental Entity to sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of, or to conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change the assets or business of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, unless such requirement, condition, understanding, agreement or order is binding on Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries only in the event that the Closing occurs. Parent and Merger Sub shall not (and shall cause their Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to) take or agree to take any action with respect to the Carve-Out Transaction or any other arrangement with respect to the Carve-Out Buyer or any of its Affiliates (individually or in conjunction with the Carve-Out Buyer or any of its Affiliates) that would be reasonably likely to prevent or materially delay the Closing.

(c) The Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all registrations, filings, notifications, communications, submissions, and any other material actions pursuant to this Section 7.3, and, subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental Entity, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Transactions, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other material communications received by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect to such Transactions. Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall permit counsel for the other party reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed notifications or filings and any written communications or submissions, and with respect to any such notification, filing, written communication or submission, any documents submitted therewith to any Governmental Entity; provided, however, that materials may be redacted (x) to remove references concerning the valuation of the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, or proposals from third parties with respect thereto, (y) as necessary or appropriate to address reasonable privilege concerns or reasonable confidentiality concerns relating to proprietary or commercially sensitive information regarding Parent and its operations; provided that Parent shall contemporaneously provide summaries to the Company’s counsel of the information redacted pursuant to this subclause (y). Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub agrees not to participate in any meeting or substantive discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited or required otherwise by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 7.3 shall limit a party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.1(c) so long as such party has, prior to such termination, complied with its obligations under this Section 7.3 in all material respects.

Section 7.4. No Solicitation; Acquisition Proposals.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, from and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, none of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall the Company authorize or permit any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives or advisors (such individuals, the “Representatives”) to: (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage or facilitate, or cooperate with respect to, the preparation or submission of inquiries, proposals or offers from any Person (other than Parent) that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions, communications or negotiations in connection with any Acquisition Proposal or furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to its or any of its Subsidiaries’ business, properties or assets in connection with any Acquisition Proposal.

The Company shall promptly after the date of this Agreement instruct each Person which has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal with or for the benefit of the Company to promptly return or destroy all confidential information, documents and materials relating to an Acquisition Proposal or to the Company, its

Subsidiaries or its businesses, operations or affairs heretofore furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Representatives to such Person or any of its Representatives in accordance with the terms of any confidentiality agreement with such Person and terminate any “data room” or similar access of such Persons and their Representatives. For purposes of this Section 7.4, the term “Person” means any person, corporation, entity or “group,” as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than, with respect to the Company, Parent or any Subsidiaries of Parent and, with respect to Parent, the Company.

“Acquisition Proposal” means (i) any inquiry, offer or proposal for a merger, reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation, tender offer, share exchange, business combination or other similar transaction involving the Company or its Subsidiaries that would result in any Person beneficially owning 20% or more of the voting power of the Company or (ii) any inquiry, proposal or offer to acquire, license or lease, directly or indirectly (including by merger, reorganization, consolidation, share exchange, sale of shares of capital stock, tender offer, exchange offer, stock acquisition, asset acquisition, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture or similar transaction), (A) securities representing more than 20% of the voting power of the Company (including any options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of any capital stock of the Company) or (B) more than 20% of the consolidated assets of the Company (as determined on a book-value basis) or any assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to which, individually or in the aggregate, 20% or more of the Company’s consolidated revenue or earnings for the most recently completed fiscal year of the Company are attributable, in each of the foregoing cases, other than the Merger contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company, directly or indirectly through Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, representatives, advisors or other intermediaries, may (i) take and disclose to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to any Acquisition Proposal (provided, that any such action or disclosure shall be deemed to be a Change in Recommendation, unless the Board of Directors of the Company reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in connection with such action or disclosure), (ii) make the disclosure contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act and (iii) make any disclosure if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, and (ii) prior to the time the Required Company Vote is obtained and if at any time following the date of this Agreement the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives receive a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of Section 7.4(a) (A) engage in or enter into or otherwise participate in discussions and negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal with the Person (and its representatives, advisors and intermediaries) that makes such Acquisition Proposal, and (B) furnish to such Person non-public information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries and provide access to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ officers, employees, agents, properties, books, contracts and records, in each case, in response to a request therefor, pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with such Person (a copy of which shall be provided to Parent) containing terms that are not less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (except that (1) it shall not be required to

- 45 -

prohibit the making of an Acquisition Proposal and (2) such confidentiality agreement may include terms that are less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement so long as the Company offers to amend the Confidentiality Agreement substantially concurrently with the execution of such confidentiality agreement to include such terms for the benefit of Pamplona Capital Management LLC) and to the extent nonpublic information that has not been made available to Parent is made available to such Person, furnish such nonpublic information to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person; provided that the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall be permitted to take an action described in the foregoing clause (ii) if, and only if, prior to taking such particular action, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith (x) after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law and (y) after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Proposal.

“Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made following the date hereof (on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified) that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors and after taking into account the terms, conditions, risks and the legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal (including closing conditions, the likelihood and contemplated timing of closing or financing requirements) and the Person making such proposal) would if consummated, result in a transaction that is more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than this Agreement and the Merger; provided, that the reference to “20%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%.” Reference to “this Agreement” and “the Merger” in this paragraph shall be deemed to include any proposed alteration of the terms of this Agreement or the Merger that are proposed in writing by Parent pursuant to Section 7.4(c).

(c) Except as permitted by this Section 7.4(c), the Board of Directors of the Company will not (i) withhold, withdraw or modify, or propose to withhold, withdraw or modify, in any manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation, (ii) approve, recommend, endorse or otherwise declare advisable, or publicly propose to approve, recommend, endorse or otherwise declare advisable, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (iv) fail to publicly recommend against any Acquisition Proposal (including, for these purposes, by taking no position with respect to the acceptance of such Acquisition Proposal by the Company’s stockholders, which shall constitute a failure to recommend against such Acquisition Proposal), or to publicly re-affirm the Company Board Recommendation, in each case, within ten Business Days following an Acquisition Proposal that has been publicly announced (or such fewer number of days as remain prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting, as it may be adjourned or postponed in accordance with this Agreement) (any of the actions described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), a “Change in Recommendation”) or (v) approve, recommend, declare advisable or enter into any definitive acquisition agreement, merger agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, term sheet or other similar agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal (such agreement, an

- 46 -

“Alternative Acquisition Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Company Vote, the Board of Directors of the Company may (x) effect a Change in Recommendation (A) in response to a Company Intervening Event, or (B) following receipt of a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof that did not result from a breach of Section 7.4(a) that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, is a Superior Proposal, in each case of clauses (A) and (B) if, and only if, prior to effecting such Change in Recommendation, (xx) the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law and (yy) the Company complies with Section 7.4(d) or (y) following receipt of a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof that did not result from a breach of Section 7.4(a) and that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, is a Superior Proposal, cause or permit the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f) for the purpose of entering into a definitive acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement (an “Alternative Definitive Acquisition Agreement”) with respect to such Superior Proposal, if, and only if, (xx) prior to such termination, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, (yy) prior to such termination, the Company complies with Section 7.4(d), and (zz) concurrently with such termination, (1) the Company is entering into such Alternative Acquisition Definitive Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal and (2) the Company pays the Company Termination Fee.

(d) Prior to the Company taking any of the actions (i) under clause (x)(A) in the second sentence of Section 7.4(c), (A) the Company shall provide Parent with three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent it intends to effect a Change in Recommendation in response to a Company Intervening Event and specifying, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor, (B) during such three (3) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company shall engage in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement in a manner that obviates the need to effect a Change in Recommendation and (C) following the end of such three (3) Business Day period, the Board of Directors of the Company, after taking into account any modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Merger offered by Parent, shall re-determine in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel that (x) such Intervening Event continues to necessitate a Change in Recommendation, even if the modifications offered by Parent were to be given effect and (y) failure to effect such Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, or (ii) under clause (x)(B) or clause (y) in the second sentence or Section 7.4(c), (A) the Company shall provide Parent with three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the amount or form of consideration payable in connection with the applicable Acquisition Proposal, or any amendment to the financial or any other material terms of the applicable Acquisition Proposal, shall require a new notice and an additional two (2) Business

- 47 -

Day period) advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company intends to take such action, and if applicable, specifying the material terms and conditions of, and attaching a complete copy of, the Acquisition Proposal, (B) the Company shall, during such three (3) Business Day period (or subsequent two (2) Business Day period), negotiate in good faith with Parent to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal and (C) following the end of such three (3) Business period (or subsequent two (2) Business Day period), the Board of Directors of the Company, after taking into account any modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Merger offered by Parent, shall re-determine in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel that (x) such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and (y) failure to effect such Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law.

(e) The Company shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) after receipt or occurrence of any Acquisition Proposal or the determination of the existence of a Company Intervening Event, as applicable (i) notify Parent of such Acquisition Proposal or Company Intervening Event, as applicable, and (ii) communicate the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal (including, if applicable, providing copies of any written inquiries, requests, proposals or offers and any proposed agreements relating thereto, which may be redacted to the extent necessary to protect confidential information of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal) or the Company Intervening Event, as applicable, to Parent and (iii) notify Parent of any request for non-public information or to engage in negotiations or discussions that could reasonably be expected to lead to or that contemplate an Acquisition Proposal and communicate the materials terms and conditions of such request. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably apprised of the status of any Acquisition Proposal or Company Intervening Event, as applicable, and any developments, discussions and negotiations regarding the financial and any other material terms of the Acquisition Proposal or request (including by providing copies of all drafts of proposed agreements relating thereto which may be redacted to the extent necessary to protect confidential information of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal).

Section 7.5. Stockholder Litigation. Each of the Company and Parent shall keep the other party hereto informed of, and consult and cooperate with such party in connection with, any stockholder litigation or claim against such party and/or its directors or officers relating to the Merger or the other Transactions.

Each of Parent and the Company shall notify the other promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) of the commencement of any such stockholder litigation of which it has received written notice.

Section 7.6. Public Announcements. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release issued by the Company and Parent and thereafter Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any further press release or otherwise making any public statement (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to the Merger, this Agreement or any of the other Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) each of the foregoing parties may, without

- 48 -

such consultation or consent, make any public statement in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, make internal announcements to employees and make disclosures in Company SEC Reports, so long as such statements are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the parties (or individually, if approved by the other party), (b) a party may, without the prior consent of the other party hereto, issue any such press release or make any such public announcement or statement as may be required by requirements under Law, and (c) the Company need not consult with Parent in connection with any press release, public statement or filing to be issued or made with respect to any Change in Recommendation, Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal.

Section 7.8. Employee Matters.

(a) During the period beginning on the Effective Time and ending on the first (1^st) anniversary of the Effective Time or, if shorter, during the period of employment for an employee of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries to provide, employees who continue to be employed by the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Continuing Employees”) with (i) a base salary or hourly wage rate and annual cash incentive compensation opportunities (excluding equity or equity-based compensation) that, in each case, are no less favorable than those as were provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) to the Continuing Employees, collectively, employee benefits (excluding equity or equity-based compensation) that, in the aggregate, are substantially similar to the employee benefits (excluding equity or equity-based compensation) provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time. Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to provide, to each Continuing Employee who is terminated by the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries without cause during the twelve (12) month period following the Effective Time, severance benefits no less than the severance benefits provided pursuant to the severance guidelines set forth on Schedule 7.8(a).

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with their terms, the Company Benefit Plans set forth on Schedule 3.18(a) as in effect immediately before the Effective Time; provided, however, that (x) nothing herein shall prevent the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any such Company Benefit in accordance with its terms and (y) nothing contained in this Section 7.8(b) is intended to confer upon any employee any right to continued receipt of any specific employee benefit for any specific period of time nor require the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to continue any Company Benefit Plan for any specific period of time after the Effective Date.

- 49 -

(c) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, grant all Continuing Employees credit for any service with the Company or its Subsidiaries earned prior to the Effective Time for eligibility and vesting and benefit accrual (but not for benefit accruals or benefit levels under any defined benefit pension plan, nonqualified retirement plan, retiree welfare plan or long-term executive incentive plan) purposes in each case under any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement in which the Continuing Employees commence to participate on or after the Effective Time (collectively, the “New Plans”), except as would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, Parent shall (x) cause to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively at work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any New Plans to the extent waived or satisfied by a Continuing Employee under any Company Benefit Plan as of the date on which commencement of participation in such New Plan begins, and (y) cause any deductible, co-insurance and covered out-of-pocket expenses paid during the calendar year in which commencement of participation in such New Plan begins and prior to such commencement of participation by any Continuing Employee (or covered dependent thereof) to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the corresponding deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions under such New Plan in the year of initial participation.

(d) If the Effective Time occurs prior to the date on which the Company pays annual bonuses for the performance year ended December 31, 2015, then Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay a bonus to each employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries who satisfies the eligibility criteria to receive such a bonus for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Bonus”) as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time or, if later, as promptly as practicable following December 31, 2015, and in any event no later than March 15, 2016. The amount of any such 2015 Bonus shall be calculated in good faith in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, based on the actual performance of the Company and the employee through December 31, 2015.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 7.8, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any employee any right to continued employment for any period or continued receipt of any specific employee benefit, or shall constitute an amendment to or any other modification of any New Plan or Company Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement. Further, this Section 7.8 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 7.8, express or implied, is intended to create or confer upon any other Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Service Provider) any rights, benefits, liabilities, obligations or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 7.8.

Section 7.9. Financing/Financing Assistance.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that, other than the obligations expressly set forth in this Section 7.9, the Company and the Company Related Parties have no responsibility for any financing that Parent and Merger Sub may raise in connection with the Transactions. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company acknowledges and agrees that Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the Transactions is not subject to a financing condition under Article VIII or otherwise.

- 50 -

(b) (i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions (including the terms of the so-called “market flex” provisions contained in the Fee Letter described in the Commitment Letters or on such other terms that are no less favorable to Parent and Merger Sub than the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (including the terms of the so-called “market flex” provisions contained in the Fee Letter), and shall not permit any amendment or modification (it being agreed that any Alternative Financing shall not be deemed an amendment, modification or waiver) to be made to, or any waiver of any provision under, the Commitment Letters if such amendment, modification or waiver (A) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing or (B) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the Financing, or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any other provision of the Commitment Letters, in each case in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (x) taking into account the timing of the Marketing Period, delay or prevent or make less likely the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the Closing Date or (y) adversely impact the ability of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable, to enforce its rights against other parties to the Commitment Letters, in each of clauses (x) and (y) in any material respect (provided that Parent and Merger Sub may amend the Debt Financing Letters to add additional lenders, arrangers, book runners and agents that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof or in accordance with any “market flex” provisions of the Debt Financing Letters). Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification or replacement. For purposes of this Section 7.9, references to “Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Letters as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 7.9.

(ii) Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts (A) to maintain in effect the Commitment Letters, (B) to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Commitment Letters on the terms and conditions (including the terms of the so-called “market flex” provisions contained in the Fee Letter) contained in the Commitment Letters or on such other terms that are no less favorable to Parent and Merger Sub than the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (including the terms of the so-called “market flex” provisions contained in the Fee Letter), (C) to satisfy on a timely basis (taking into account the timing of the Marketing Period) all conditions to funding that are applicable to, and within the control of, Parent and Merger Sub in the Debt Financing Letters and such definitive agreements thereto (other than any condition where the failure to be so satisfied is a result of the Company’s failure to comply with this Section 7.9) and (taking into account the timing of the Marketing Period) to consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, including if the conditions set forth in the Debt Financing Letters have been satisfied, using its reasonable best efforts to cause the lenders and the other persons committing to fund the Financing to fund the Financing at the Closing, (D) to enforce its rights under the Commitment Letters and (E) to comply with its obligations under the Commitment Letters. Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing and provide upon reasonable written request, to the Company copies of executed material agreements for the

- 51 -

Debt Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if it could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the timely availability of the Financings (taking into account the timing of the Marketing Period) or the aggregate amount of the Financing to be funded at Closing, Parent and Merger Sub shall give the Company prompt notice (x) of any breach or default by any party to any of the Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing of which Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware, (y) of the receipt of (A) any written notice or (B) other written communication, in each case from any Financing Source with respect to any (1) actual or threatened breach, default, early termination or repudiation by any party to any of the Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing of any provisions of the Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing or (2) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any of the Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing with respect to the obligation to fund the Financing or the amount of the Financing to be funded at the Closing (but excluding ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Financing), and (z) if at any time for any reason Parent or Merger Sub believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the conditions or from the sources contemplated by any of the Commitment Letters.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, under no circumstances will the Company be entitled to, and in no event shall the Company seek to recover, monetary damages from any Parent Related Party (other than Parent) or Financing Source Related Party and in no event shall such amount recovered from Parent be in excess of the amount equal to the Parent Termination Fee (and any costs and expenses and interest pursuant to Section 7.9, Section 7.13 and Section 9.2(c)).
