Earnings from investments, subject to the immediately preceding proviso, shall be paid to and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Corporation and no interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of any holders of Company Stock entitled to a portion of the Merger Consideration. Except as contemplated by Section 2.03(e) hereof, the Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

23

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name a surrendered Certificate 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 and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Taxes or fees required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. Payment of the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in respect of Uncertificated Shares will only be made to the Person in whose name such Uncertificated Shares are registered as of immediately following the Exchange and Redemption and immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the portion of the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

(e) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to the former holders of shares of Company Stock entitled thereto one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such former holder of shares of Company Stock who has not exchanged shares of Company Stock for the Per Share Consideration to which they are entitled in accordance with this Section 2.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent and the Surviving Corporation for payment of the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, in respect of such shares of Company Stock without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Stock for any amounts properly paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Stock immediately prior to such time when such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.04. Appraisal Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.02, shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Stock canceled in accordance with Section 2.02(b)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights in respect of such shares in accordance with Delaware Law (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Appraisal Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Per Share Consideration but instead shall be cancelled and the holders thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to payment of the appraised value of such shares in accordance with Delaware Law; provided that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Delaware Law, such shares of Company Stock shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02(a), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Uncertificated Share, as the case may be. The Company shall provide Parent prompt notice of any

24

demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Delaware Law that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands under Delaware Law consistent with the obligations of the Company thereunder. Except with the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or voluntarily offer to settle or settle, any such demands prior to the Effective Time.

Section 2.05. Withholding Rights. Each of the Paying Agent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation and Parent 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. The Paying Agent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall consider in good faith any forms or documentation provided by any such Person to obtain exemptions from, or reductions of, any Taxes required to be withheld from payments under this Agreement. If the Paying Agent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, withholds any such amounts and properly pays such amounts over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding was made.

Section 2.06. Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder of record of the Company Stock formerly represented by that Certificate, or by a Representative of such holder claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, the posting by such holder of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation or Paying Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

The Company will conduct a “broker search” in accordance Rule 14a-13(a)(1) of the 1934 Act and establish a record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting in a manner to enable the record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting to be set so that such Company Stockholder Meeting will be duly called and held as soon as reasonably practicable following clearance of the Proxy Statement by the SEC.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, in response to an Intervening Event, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of such Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware Law, the Board of Directors of the Company may make an Adverse Recommendation Change (but shall not be permitted to take the actions referred to in clause (2), (3) or (5) of the definition thereof which relate solely to Acquisition Proposals); provided, that, the Board of Directors of the Company shall not make any such Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company has (i) provided to Parent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice that it intends to take such action and specifying in reasonable detail the facts of the underlying Intervening Event, (ii) during such three (3) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for such Adverse Recommendation Change (provided that it is understood and agreed that the Board of Directors of the Company’s determination and providing such notice solely to Parent in each case as permitted by the express terms of this Agreement shall not in itself constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change or a basis to terminate this Agreement) and (iii) shall have considered in good faith any revisions to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document irrevocably proposed in writing by Parent.

(f) In addition, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Directors of the Company from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations required under Applicable Law or applicable rules of the NASDAQ, including taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9(g) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the 1934 Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal (or any similar communication to stockholders) or (ii) making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication to stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) or (iii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware Law (provided that this clause (iii) shall not permit the Company to take any action which would constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change, which instead shall be governed by Section 6.03(c), Section 6.03(e) or Section 6.03(h)); provided, that with respect to the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), any such action taken or statement made, in and of itself, shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change if the Board of Directors of the Company reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such statement or in connection with such action.

61

(g) At any time after the No Shop Period Start Date and until the earlier of the valid termination of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than one day after (i) the end of the No Shop Period Start Date with respect to previously received Acquisition Proposals or (ii) receipt by the Company of any Acquisition Proposal, as applicable), which notice shall identify the Third Party making, and the material terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal and the Company shall reasonably promptly inform Parent (but in no event later than one day) after any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal and shall provide to Parent promptly (but in no event later than one day after receipt thereof) copies of all proposed transaction agreements or proposal letters or other material written agreements sent or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that describe any material terms or conditions of any Acquisition Proposal.

As used in this Agreement:

62

(i) “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means a confidentiality agreement to which the Company is a party that contains provisions that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that such confidentiality agreement may contain a less restrictive or no standstill restriction.

(ii) “Intervening Event” means a material fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances that was not known or reasonably foreseeable to the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date hereof (or if known to the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date hereof, the consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable to the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date hereof) and becomes known to the Board of Directors of the Company prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained; provided, however that none of the following will constitute, or be considered in determining whether there has been, an Intervening Event: (A) the receipt, existence of or terms of an Acquisition Proposal or any matter relating thereto or consequence thereof and (B) changes in the market price or trading volume of the shares of Company Stock or the fact that the Company meets or exceeds internal or published projections, budgets, forecasts or estimates of revenues, earnings or other financial results for any period (provided, however, that the underlying causes of such change or fact shall not be excluded by this clause (B)).

(iii) “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal for at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Stock (assuming the prior exchange of all OpCo Units for shares of Company Stock) or at least a majority of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries that was not solicited in breach in any material respect of the terms of Sections 6.03(b) or (c) and that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and taking into account all relevant terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal (including legal, regulatory, financing and closing conditions), is more favorable from a financial perspective to the holders of the Company Stock than the Merger (taking into account any irrevocable written proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.03(h)).

(iv) “Excluded Party” means any Third Party (i) from whom the Company or any of its Representatives receives an Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement and prior to the No Shop Period Start Date; and (ii) whose Acquisition Proposal the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) is, or would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a Superior Proposal.

(d) Parent shall waive, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates to waive, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements, waiting periods, evidence of insurability or similar limitations, under any Parent Plans in which any Company Employee (or the dependents of any eligible employee) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time. Parent shall recognize or credit, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates to recognize or credit, any deductible, co-insurance, maximum out of pocket expenses or other payments incurred by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) under any applicable Employee Plan during the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible, co-payment limitations and out-of-pocket maximums under the relevant welfare benefit plans, including the Parent Plans and Employee Plans, in which such Company Employee will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time.

70

(g) The Parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 7.04 with respect to Company Employees are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement and shall not create any right (i) in any other Person, including any employee, officer, independent contractor, former employee or any participant or any beneficiary thereof in any Employee Plan or Parent Plan, or (ii) to guaranteed employment with the Company, Parent, Surviving Corporation, or any of their Subsidiaries for any period of time or preclude the ability to terminate the employment of any Company Employee for any reason. After the Effective Time, notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 7.04, nothing contained in this Section 7.04 is intended to be or shall be considered to be an amendment or adoption of any plan, program, agreement, arrangement or policy of the Parent or Surviving Corporation nor shall it interfere with the Parent’s, or any of its Subsidiaries’ right to amend, modify or terminate any Employee Plan or to terminate the employment of any employee of Parent or its Subsidiaries for any reason.

Upon any such amendment, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver, the terms “Debt Commitment Letter”, “Preferred Commitment Letter”, “Definitive Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Agreement”, as applicable, shall mean the Debt Commitment Letter, Preferred Equity Commitment Letter or Definitive Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Agreement, as applicable, as so amended, replaced, supplemented or modified. Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification of the Debt Commitment Letter or Preferred Equity Commitment Letter and/or any such waiver of a provision of the Debt Commitment Letter or Preferred Equity Commitment Letter.

(c) If all or any portion of the Debt Financing or Preferred Equity Financing, as applicable, becomes unavailable, or the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements shall be withdrawn, repudiated, terminated or rescinded, regardless of the reason therefor, then Parent shall (i) use reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable, from the same and/or alternative debt or preferred equity financing sources, as applicable, alternative financing in an amount, together with the amount of Financing remaining available and cash and cash equivalent on hand at the Company and its Subsidiaries, sufficient to pay the Required Amount on the Closing Date, in each case, upon terms and conditions not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any related “market flex” provisions) (“Alternative Financing”) and (ii) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor; provided that such reasonable best efforts shall not require Parent to pay more fees, OIDs or incur an increase in pricing than the pricing terms of the Debt Commitment Letter or Preferred Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, taking into account any flex terms. In the event any Alternative Financing is obtained in accordance with this Section 7.05(c), references in this Agreement to

73

“Debt Financing”, “Preferred Equity Financing” or “Debt/Preferred Equity Financing”, as applicable, shall also be deemed to refer to such Alternative Financing, as appropriate, and if one or more commitment letters or definitive financing agreements are entered into or proposed to be entered into in connection with such Alternative Financing, references in this Agreement to the “Debt Commitment Letter”, “Preferred Equity Commitment Letter” and the “Definitive Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Agreements”, as applicable, shall also be deemed to refer to such commitment letters and definitive financing agreements relating to such Alternative Financing, as appropriate, and all obligations of Parent pursuant to this Section 7.05 and all obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 6.05 shall be applicable thereto to the same extent as Parent’s obligations with respect to the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing.

Each such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any Regulatory Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

After receipt of confirmation that CFIUS has no further comments or inquiries related to the Draft CFIUS Notice, the parties shall submit the CFIUS Notice as soon as practicable. The parties shall comply at the earliest practicable time, and in any event no later than required by CFIUS or any CFIUS member agency, with any request for additional information, documents or other materials, and will cooperate with each other in connection with both the Draft CFIUS Notice and the CFIUS Notice and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of CFIUS or any CFIUS member agency.

75

by this Agreement. The parties shall undertake best efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action, and do, or cause to be done all things necessary or advisable to obtain CFIUS Approval as soon as practicable, and in any event prior to the End Date, provided, however, that no party shall be required to take or agree to take any undertaking that is not conditioned on the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All filing fees payable in connection with the notifications, filings, registrations or other materials contemplated by this Section 8.01(c) shall be paid entirely by the Parent.

(d) In addition, Parent shall (i) defend or contest any Action challenging this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby by any Regulatory Authority and (ii) solely with regards to the HSR Act, oppose, through and including Action on the merits (and all appeals with respect thereto), any claim asserted in court or other forum by any Regulatory Authority or other Person in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, Order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would restrain or prevent the Closing by the End Date.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent shall, as soon as possible and in any event prior to the End Date take any and all action necessary, including but not limited to (i) selling or otherwise disposing of, or holding separate and agreeing to sell or otherwise dispose of, assets, categories of assets or businesses of the Company or its Subsidiaries; (ii) terminating existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries; (iii) terminating any venture or other arrangement of the Company or its Subsidiaries; (iv) creating any relationship, contractual rights or obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries or (v) effectuating any other change or restructuring of the Company or its Subsidiaries (and, in each case, to enter into agreements or stipulate to the entry of an order or decree or file appropriate applications with the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, any attorney general of any state of the United States, the European Commission, any other competition authority of any jurisdiction, CFIUS or any other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Regulatory Authority”) in connection with any Regulatory Law and in the case of actions by or with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or its or their businesses or assets; by consenting to such action by the Company and provided, that any such action may, at the discretion of the Company, be conditioned upon consummation of the Merger) (each a “Divestiture Action”) solely to ensure (x) that no Regulatory Authority enters any order, decision, judgment, decree, ruling, injunction (preliminary or permanent), or establishes any law, rule, regulation or other action preliminarily or permanently restraining, enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and (y) that no Regulatory Authority with the authority to clear, authorize or otherwise approve the consummation of the Merger, fails to do so by the End Date. In the event that any action is threatened or instituted by a Regulatory Authority challenging the Merger as violative of any Regulatory Law, Parent shall take all action necessary, including but not limited to any Divestiture Action, to avoid or resolve such action. In the event that any permanent or preliminary injunction or other order is entered or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered in any proceeding that would make consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unlawful or that would restrain, enjoin or otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to vacate, modify or suspend such injunction or order so as to permit such consummation prior to the End Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates prior to the Closing shall be required to take any action set forth in Section 8.01(c) or Section 8.01(d) (which is not conditioned on the Closing) to satisfy the efforts standard set forth in this Section 8.01 (or elsewhere in this Agreement).

Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall furnish all information concerning the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary, as applicable, as may be reasonably required or requested by the other party in connection with the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement.

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without liability of any party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or Representative of such party) to the other party hereto; provided that (a) the provisions of this Section 10.02, Article 11 (other than Section 11.13), the Reimbursement Obligations set forth in Section 6.05(b), and the Confidentiality Agreement, and the Fee Funding Agreements (solely to the extent provided therein) shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 10.01 and (b) neither the Company nor Parent or Merger Subsidiary shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its Fraud or Willful and Material Breach of any provision of this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, under no circumstances will, (i) the amount payable by Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates (taking into account the payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to this Agreement), whether pursuant to this Agreement or the Fee Funding Agreements, in connection with or following any termination of this Agreement (including arising out of any Willful and Material Breach (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, for Fraud)) exceed an amount equal to $582,530,000 plus the Enforcement Expenses (if any) and the Reimbursement Obligations (if any) in the aggregate or (ii) the amount payable by the Company (taking into account the payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Agreement) in connection with or following any termination of this Agreement (including arising out of any Willful and Material Breach (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, for Fraud)) exceed an amount equal to $291,265,000 plus the Enforcement Expenses (if any).

All such notices, requests and other communications shall be deemed received on the date of receipt by the recipient (in the case of email, subject to a non-automated email from the recipient confirming receipt).

Section 11.02. Non-Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall not survive the Effective Time, and no claims (whether sounding, in contract, in tort or otherwise) with respect to any of the foregoing (including with respect to any breach of any of the foregoing) may be made or asserted after the Effective Time; provided that this Section 11.02 shall not limit any covenant or agreement by the parties that by its terms contemplates performance at or after the Closing or the Effective Time or limit, prohibit or restrict any claim with respect to any such covenant or agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no party to this Agreement shall be precluded from bringing a claim for Fraud.

Section 11.03. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, however, that after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, there shall be no amendment or waiver that by Applicable Law requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without such approval having been obtained; provided further that any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification to this proviso in Section 11.03, Section 11.04(c), Section 11.04(e) Section 11.04(f) (solely with respect to the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities), Section 11.06(a), Section 11.11, Section 11.14 or Section 11.15 (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such provisions would modify the substance of the foregoing provisions) in any matter that is adverse to the interest of the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities shall not be effective without the consent of the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Sources party to the Debt Commitment Letter or Preferred Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

86

Section 11.04. Expenses.

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.04 and the Reimbursement Obligations under Section 6.05(b), all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

(b) Company Termination Fee.

(i) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(i), then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee to Parent in immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days after such termination. “Company Termination Fee” means (i) solely if payable by the Company in connection with a termination by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i) prior to the Cut-Off Date to enter into a definitive agreement providing for the consummation of a Superior Proposal made by an Excluded Party or its Affiliates, which Superior Proposal was made prior to the Cut-Off Date, an amount equal to $145,632,500, and (ii) if payable by the Company in any other circumstance, an amount equal to $291,265,000.

(ii) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee to Parent in immediately available funds substantially concurrently with such termination.

(iii) If (A) after the date of this Agreement, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly made to the Company or shall have been publicly made directly to the stockholders of the Company generally or shall have otherwise become publicly disclosed (and, in any such case, such Acquisition Proposal is not publicly withdrawn at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting), (B) thereafter, this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) or Section 10.01(b)(iii), and (C) within twelve (12) months after such termination, the Company consummates or enters into a definitive agreement providing for the consummation of, an Acquisition Proposal that is subsequently consummated (whether or not within such twelve (12) month period), then the Company shall pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of same-day funds on the date of consummation of such Acquisition Proposal. For purposes of Section 11.04(b), all references to “20%” and “80%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

(c) Parent Termination Fee. If this Agreement is terminated (x) by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(ii) (or by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) at a time when the Company would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(ii)) or (y) by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(iii) (or by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) at a time when the Company would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(iii)), then, in any such case, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company an amount equal to $582,530,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) not later than the second (2^nd) Business Day following such termination.

87

(d) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 11.04 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) without these agreements, the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary would not enter into this Agreement and (iii) each of the Company Termination Fee and the Parent Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company or Parent, as the case may be, in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 11.04 and, in order to obtain such payment, either Parent or the Company, as the case may be, commences a suit that results in a judgment against the other party for the payment of any amount set forth in this Section 11.04, such paying party shall pay the other party its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the annual rate of the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received, or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by Applicable Law (collectively, the “Enforcement Expenses”); provided that in no event shall either party be obligated to pay more than $12,500,000 in Enforcement Expenses.

(e) Parent and Merger Subsidiary agree that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 11.04 and such Company Termination Fee is paid in full, except for the Enforcement Expenses, (i) Parent, Merger Subsidiary, Sponsors, or any of their respective former, current or future directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, equityholders or Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Company, at law or in equity or otherwise relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) none of Parent or Merger Subsidiary shall seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, stockholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) Parent’s right to receive payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11.04 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Related Parties for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and (iv) upon payment of such amount, none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. In no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(f) The Company agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Parent Termination Fee is payable by Parent pursuant to this Section 11.04 and such Parent Termination Fee is paid in full, except for the Enforcement Expenses and Reimbursement Obligations, (i) the Company Related Parties shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Parent, at law or in equity or otherwise relating to, arising out

88

of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the Company shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgement or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Parent Related Parties or any of the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (iii) the Company’s right to receive payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11.04 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company Related Parties against the Parent Related Parties or any of the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and (iv) upon payment of the Parent Termination Fee, none of the Parent Related Parties or any of the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities shall have any further liability or obligation to any of the Company Related Parties relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that (i) nothing in this Section 11.04 shall impair the Company’s or Parent’s right to seek specific performance prior to the valid termination of this Agreement solely to the extent permitted under Section 11.13, (ii) the parties to the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain obligated for, and the Company shall be entitled to remedies with respect to, breaches of the Confidentiality Agreement, (iii) nothing in this Section 11.04 shall limit or otherwise affect Sponsors’ obligations under the Fee Funding Agreements or prior to the valid termination of this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letters, (iv) following a termination of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall remain liable hereunder, and each Sponsor shall remain liable under the applicable Fee Funding Agreement to which it is a party, for the Parent Termination Fee, any Enforcement Expenses or the Reimbursement Obligations that become due and payable until paid, and (v) following a termination of this Agreement, the Company shall remain liable hereunder for the Company Termination Fee and any Enforcement Expenses that become due and payable until paid. For the avoidance of doubt, while the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance prior to the termination of this Agreement, and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee, if applicable, under Section 11.04, following a termination of this Agreement, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance to cause the Closing to occur and monetary damages or all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee.

Section 11.05. Disclosure Letter References. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other provisions hereof of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement, and any other representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other provisions hereof of such party that is contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and other provisions hereof, would be reasonably apparent based solely on the face of such disclosure. The Company Disclosure Letter is incorporated by reference into and made a part of this Agreement. The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Letter as an exception to a representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other provision hereof shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

89

Section 11.06. Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except for (or as provided in) Article 2 (following the Effective Time), Section 6.05, Section 7.03, Section 11.04, Section 11.14, Section 11.15, Section 11.16, and Section 11.17, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities are express third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, any of the provisions of this Agreement reflecting the agreements in this Section 11.06, Section 11.03, Section 11.04(c), Section 11.04(e), Section 11.04(f) (solely with respect to the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities), Section 11.11, Section 11.14 and Section 11.15.

(b) No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 11.06(b) shall be null and void.

Section 11.07. Governing Law. This Agreement and any disputes relating to or arising from this Agreement, the other agreements contemplated hereby, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or the negotiation or performance of any of the foregoing (whether based on contract, tort, or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company irrevocably waives any objections or immunities to the jurisdiction provided in this Section 11.07 to which it may otherwise be entitled or become entitled (including sovereign immunity, immunity to pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment and execution) in any legal suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which is instituted in any such court.

Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, (b) the United States District Court in Wilmington, Delaware, and (c) the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the other agreements contemplated hereby, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or the negotiation or performance of any of the foregoing. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company agrees to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating hereto in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County and, if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the United States District Court in Wilmington, Delaware, and, if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, New Castle County. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (i) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, (ii) the United States District Court in Wilmington, Delaware, or (iii) the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, and hereby further irrevocably and

90

unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The parties agree that a final trial court judgment in any such suit, action or other proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment. Each of the parties hereto agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at the addresses set forth in Section 11.01 shall be effective service of process for any litigation, suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.

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

Section 11.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Letter, the Commitment Letters, and the Fee Funding Agreements, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

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

91

Section 11.13. Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such failure to perform or breach. Accordingly, subject to the limitations set forth herein, the parties acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Parent, Merger Subsidiary or the Company of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, Parent, Merger Subsidiary or the Company, as applicable, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other parties (as applicable), and to specific performance by the other parties (as applicable) of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other parties (as applicable) under this Agreement, without proof of actual harm or the inadequacy of a legal remedy and without bond or other security being required. The pursuit of specific enforcement or other equitable remedies by any party will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy (whether at law or in equity) to which such party may be entitled at any time, subject to the limitations on remedies set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that, prior to the Closing, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance to cause Parent to draw down the full proceeds of the Equity Financing and to cause Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including to effect the Closing in accordance with Section 2.01, on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, if and only if, (i) all conditions in Section 9.01 and Section 9.02 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied if Closing were on such date), (ii) the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing (or, if Alternative Financing is being used in accordance with Section 7.06(c), the financing to be made available pursuant to the commitments with respect thereto) has been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing, (iii) Parent has failed to consummate the Closing at the time when it was required under Section 2.01, and (iv) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Parent that if specific performance were granted and the Financing were funded, then the Closing would occur in accordance with Section 2.01.

(c) Subject to the limitations on remedies set forth in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise at any time of any other remedy.

92

(d) The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Subsidiary, on the other hand, hereby agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the Company or Parent, as applicable, under this Agreement on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. The parties further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 11.13, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek at any time any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement, the Commitment Letters or the Fee Funding Agreements, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 11.13 shall require any party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 11.13 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article 10, nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 11.13 or anything set forth in this Section 11.13 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article 10 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement, the Commitment Letters or the Fee Funding Agreements that may be available then or thereafter (subject the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein); provided that the parties acknowledge and agree that, while the Company may pursue a grant of specific performance prior to the termination of this Agreement, following a termination of this Agreement, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to seek a grant of specific performance to cause the Closing to occur; provided that the Company may continue any ongoing Action for specific performance filed prior to a purported termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.14. Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Sources Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the parties to this Agreement hereby, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries: (a) agrees that any Action, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities, arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing or any of the agreements (including the Debt Commitment Letter or the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter) entered into in connection with the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any agreements thereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, so long as such forum is and remains available, and any appellate court thereof and each party hereto irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such Action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, (b) agrees that any such Action shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the Applicable Laws of another state), except as otherwise provided in the Debt Commitment Letter or the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter or other applicable definitive document relating to the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing, (c) agrees that service of process upon the Company or its Subsidiaries in any such Action shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 11.01, (d) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action in any such court, (e) waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law trial by jury in any Action brought against the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entity in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any agreements thereunder, (f) agrees that none of the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities will have any liability to the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its or their Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing, the

93

Debt Commitment Letter, the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any agreement thereunder, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise and (g) agrees that in no event will Company Related Party be entitled to specific performance of any commitment letter or similar agreement entered into by Parent or Merger Sub for any Debt/Preferred Equity Financing against the Debt/Preferred Equity Financing Entities providing such Debt/Preferred Equity Financing.
