THE MERGERS

Section 2.1 The Mergers.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the MGCL and the MLLCA, at the Effective Time, the Company shall be merged with and into Merger Sub, whereupon the separate existence of the Company shall cease, and Merger Sub shall continue under the name “Mayflower Acquisition LLC” as the surviving entity in the Merger (the “Surviving Entity”) and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the MGCL, the MLLCA and this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall possess all properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, and all of the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Surviving Entity.

(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the DRULPA, at the Partnership Merger Effective Time, the Company Operating Partnership shall be merged with and into the Parent Operating Partnership, whereupon the separate existence of the Company Operating Partnership shall cease, and the Parent Operating Partnership shall continue under the name “Global Net Lease Operating Partnership, L.P.” as the surviving entity in the Partnership Merger (the “Surviving Partnership”) and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DRULPA and this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, from and after the Partnership Merger Effective Time, the Surviving Partnership shall possess all properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company Operating Partnership and the Parent Operating Partnership, and all of the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Company Operating Partnership and the Parent Operating Partnership shall become the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Surviving Partnership (including the obligations of the Company Operating Partnership under the Company Partnership Agreement).

Section 2.2 Closing. The closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”) shall occur at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time), on the third (3^rd) Business Day after all of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their terms are required to be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) shall have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to the benefit of the same or at such other time and date as shall be agreed upon by the parties hereto. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”. The Closing shall take place at the offices of Proskauer Rose LLP, Eleven Times Square, New York, New York 10036-8299, or at such other place as agreed to by the parties hereto.

Section 2.3 Effective Time.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall prepare and, on the Closing Date, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall (i) cause articles of merger with respect to the Merger (the “Articles of Merger”) to be duly executed and filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (the “SDAT”) as provided under the MGCL, and (ii) make any other filings, recordings or publications required to be made by the Company or Merger Sub under the MGCL or MLLCA in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at the later of the time the Articles of Merger are accepted for record by the SDAT on the Closing Date or on such other date and time (not to exceed 30 days from the date the Articles of Merger are accepted for record by the SDAT) as shall be agreed to by the Company and Parent and specified in the Articles of Merger (such date and time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”), it being understood and agreed that the parties hereto shall cause the Effective Time to occur on the Closing Date and prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall prepare and, on the Closing Date, the Company Operating Partnership and the Parent Operating Partnership shall (i) cause a certificate of merger with respect to the Partnership Merger (the “Partnership Certificate of Merger”) to be duly executed and filed with the Delaware Secretary as provided under the DRULPA and (ii) make any other filings, recordings or publications required to be made by the Company Operating Partnership or the Parent Operating Partnership under the DRULPA in connection with the Partnership Merger. The Partnership Merger shall become effective at such time as the Partnership Certificate of Merger shall have been duly filed with the Delaware Secretary on the Closing Date or on such other date and time (not to exceed 30 days from the date the Partnership Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Delaware Secretary) as shall be agreed to by the Company Operating Partnership and the Parent Operating Partnership and specified in the Partnership Certificate of Merger (such date and time the Partnership Merger becomes effective being “Partnership Merger Effective Time”), it being understood and agreed that the parties hereto shall cause the Partnership Merger Effective Time to occur on the Closing Date after the Effective Time.

(c) If the consummation of the Merger prior to the consummation of the Partnership Merger (and, therefore, the Effective Time occurring prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time), as is contemplated by this Agreement, would cause any of the parties to incur a materially greater amount of Transfer Taxes than would be incurred if the Merger were consummated following the consummation of the Partnership Merger (and, therefore, if the Effective Time were to occur following the Partnership Merger Effective Time), then, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and with the written consent of Parent and the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the timing of the consummation of the Merger and Partnership Merger shall be re-ordered so that the Merger shall occur and be consummated following the consummation of the Partnership Merger (and, therefore, the Effective Time will occur following the Partnership Merger Effective Time).

Section 2.4 Organizational Documents. Subject to Section 6.10, at the Effective Time, the articles of organization and limited liability company agreement of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the articles of organization and limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Entity, until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law and the applicable provisions of such articles of organization and limited liability company agreement. At the Partnership Merger Effective Time, the certificate of limited partnership of the Parent Operating Partnership and the Parent Partnership Agreement, each as in effect immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time shall be the certificate of limited partnership and limited partnership agreement of the Surviving Partnership, until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law and the applicable provisions of such certificate of limited partnership and partnership agreement.

Section 2.5 Tax Consequences. It is intended that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement be, and is hereby adopted as, a plan of reorganization purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code. It is further intended for U.S. federal income tax purposes that (i) the Partnership Merger shall qualify as and constitute an “asset-over” form of merger under Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(3)(i) with the Surviving Partnership as the continuation of the Parent Operating Partnership and the termination of the Company Operating Partnership and (ii) the issuance of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to each Person identified on Section 2.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter be treated as the direct purchase by Parent Operating Partnership, immediately prior to the Partnership Merger, of each Person’s Company LP Units in exchange for the shares of Parent Common Stock set forth on Section 2.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter; provided, that each such Person consent to such treatment at or prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time and Parent Operating Partnership agrees to report such issuance of Parent Common Stock consistent with this clause (ii) of Section 2.5, all pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(4).

Section 2.6 Subsequent Actions.

(a) If at any time after the Effective Time the Surviving Entity shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, that any actions are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Entity its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights or properties of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Entity as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the members, officers and managers of the Surviving Entity shall be authorized to take all such actions as may be necessary or desirable to vest all right, title or interest in, to or under such rights or properties in the Surviving Entity or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

(b) If at any time after the Partnership Merger Effective Time the Surviving Partnership shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, that any actions are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Partnership its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights or properties of the Company Operating Partnership acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Partnership as a result of, or in connection with, the Partnership Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the general partner(s) of the Surviving Partnership shall be authorized to take all such actions as may be necessary or desirable to vest all right, title or interest in, to or under such rights or properties in the Surviving Partnership or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

Article III

EFFECT OF THE MERGERS

Section 3.1 Effect of the Mergers.

(a) The Merger. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the parties hereto or any holder of any capital stock of the Company:

(i) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is held by any wholly owned Company Subsidiary, Parent or any Parent Subsidiary shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(ii) Subject to Section 3.1(d), Section 3.7 and Section 3.8 each share of Company Common Stock (including each share of Company Restricted Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i)) shall be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive that number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Merger Consideration”). All shares of Company Common Stock (including all shares of Company Restricted Stock), when so converted pursuant to this Section 3.1(a)(ii), shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (a “Certificate”) or book-entry share registered in the transfer books of the Company (a “Book-Entry Share”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Common Stock other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.2, including the right, if any, to receive, pursuant to Section 3.11, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(ii), together with the amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 3.4.

(b) The Partnership Merger. Immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time, the Parent shall contribute to the Parent Operating Partnership a number of issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the number of issued and outstanding Company LP Units times the Exchange Ratio. At the Partnership Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Partnership Merger and without any action on the part of the parties hereto or any holder of any equity interests of the Company Operating Partnership, (i) each Company LP Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time shall automatically be exchanged for a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio and (ii) each Company Partnership Unit other than the Company LP Units shall automatically be converted into a number of Parent OP Units equal to the Exchange Ratio (collectively, the “Partnership Merger Consideration”). The general partnership interest of the Parent Operating Partnership shall remain outstanding and constitute the only general partnership interest in the Surviving Partnership, and the Parent OP Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time shall remain outstanding. All Company Partnership Units, when so exchanged or converted pursuant to this Section 3.1(b), shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each former holder of Company Partnership Units shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Partnership Unit other than the right to receive the Partnership Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.2.

(c) Treatment of Merger Sub Membership Interests. All membership interests of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Interests”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain as the only membership interests of the Surviving Entity.

(d) Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement and subject to Section 6.1(c)(ii) and Section 6.1(c)(iii), if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the Company or the Company Operating Partnership should split, combine or otherwise reclassify the Company Common Stock or Company Partnership Units, or make a dividend or other distribution in shares of Company Common Stock or Company Partnership Units (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock or Company Partnership Units), or engage in a reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or exchange or other like change, then (without limiting any other rights of the Parent Parties hereunder), the Merger Consideration or Partnership Merger Consideration, as applicable, shall be ratably adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any such change. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement and subject to Section 6.2(c)(ii) and Section 6.2(c)(iii), if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, Parent or the Parent Operating Partnership should split, combine or otherwise reclassify the Parent Common Stock or Parent Partnership Units, or make a distribution in shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Partnership Units (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or Parent Partnership Units), or engage in a reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or exchange or other like change, then the Merger Consideration or Partnership Merger Consideration, as applicable, shall be ratably adjusted to reflect any such change.

Section 3.2 Exchange Fund; Exchange Agent; Payment Procedures.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment and delivery of the Merger Consideration and Partnership Merger Consideration. On or before the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (i) evidence of Parent Common Stock in book-entry form issuable pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(ii) equal to the Merger Consideration and (ii) cash in immediately available funds in an amount equal to any cash payable in lieu of the fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.11 (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”). Any interest or other income earned on cash deposited in the Exchange Fund shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Entity and shall be paid to Parent or the Surviving Entity.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share immediately prior to the Effective Time a form of 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 instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

Section 3.3 Share Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the share transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, Persons who held shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares presented to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Entity for any reason shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

Section 3.4 Dividends with Respect to Parent Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Shares with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable hereunder, and all such dividends and other distributions shall be paid by Parent to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock.

Section 3.5 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest and other income received with respect thereto) which remains undistributed to the former holders of shares of Company Common Stock on the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any former holders of shares of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore received any Merger Consideration (including any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any applicable dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock) to which they are entitled under this Agreement shall thereafter look only to Parent and the Surviving Entity for payment of their claims with respect thereto.

Section 3.6 No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Parent Operating Partnership, the Company Operating Partnership, the Surviving Entity, the Surviving Partnership or the Exchange Agent, or any employee, officer, director, agent or Affiliate of any of them, shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock in respect of any cash that would have otherwise been payable in respect of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such shares immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Entity, free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.

Section 3.7 Company Restricted Stock. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, any then-outstanding shares of Company Restricted Stock shall become fully vested and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold such number of shares of Company Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon such acceleration to satisfy any applicable income and employment withholding Taxes (assuming a fair market value of a share of Company Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the per share closing price of the Parent Common Stock on the last completed trading day immediately prior to the Closing on the NYSE, as reported in The Wall Street Journal). All shares of Company Common Stock then-outstanding as a result of the full vesting of the shares of Company Restricted Stock and the satisfaction of any applicable income and employment withholding Taxes shall have the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.7.

Section 3.8 Withholding Rights. Each and any Parent Party, Company Party, the Surviving Entity, the Surviving Partnership or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration, the Partnership Merger Consideration and/or, otherwise, any other amounts or property otherwise payable or distributable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts or property (or portions thereof) as such Parent Party, Company Party, the Surviving Entity, the Surviving Partnership or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or distribution under the Code, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority by a Parent Party, a Company Party, the Surviving Entity, the Surviving Partnership or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Parent Party, the Company Party, the Surviving Entity, the Surviving Partnership or the Exchange Agent, as applicable.

Section 3.9 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then 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 Entity, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as the Surviving Entity may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Article III.

Section 3.10 Dissenters’ Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights (or rights of an objecting stockholder) shall be available with respect to the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 3.11 Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or with respect to Book-Entry Shares, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Partnership Units exchanged or converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall receive (aggregating for this purpose all the shares of Parent Common Stock such holder is entitled to receive hereunder), in lieu thereof, cash, without interest, in an amount equal to the product of (a) such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock, multiplied by (b) the per share closing price of Parent Common Stock on the Closing Date on the NYSE, as reported in The Wall Street Journal.

Article IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF THE COMPANY

Except (a) as set forth in the disclosure letter that has been prepared by the Company Parties and delivered by the Company Parties to the Parent Parties in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”) (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any Section of the Company Disclosure Letter with respect to any Section or subsection of Article IV of this Agreement shall be deemed disclosed with respect to any other Section or subsection of Article IV of this Agreement to the extent such relationship is reasonably apparent, provided that nothing in the Company Disclosure Letter is intended to broaden the scope of any representation or warranty of the Company made herein), or (b) as disclosed in publicly available Company SEC Filings, filed with, or furnished to, as applicable, the SEC on or after June 6, 2014 and prior to the date of this Agreement (excluding any risk factor disclosures contained in such documents under the heading “Risk Factors” and any disclosure of risks or other matters included in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer or other statements that are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature), the Company Parties, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Parent Parties that:

Section 4.1 Organization and Qualification; Subsidiaries.

Each Parent SEC Filing, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, (i) as of its date, or, if amended or supplemented, as of the date of the most recent amendment or supplement thereto, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, and (ii) did not, at the time it was filed (or became effective in the case of registration statements), or, if amended or supplemented, as of the date of the most recent amendment or supplement thereto, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date of this Agreement, neither Merger Sub nor any other Parent Subsidiary is separately subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

(b) Each of the consolidated financial statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Parent SEC Filings (as amended, supplemented or restated, if applicable), including the related notes and schedules, was prepared (except as indicated in the notes thereto) in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, and each such consolidated financial statement presented fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods indicated therein (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments).

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement but subject to Section 6.5(e) and Section 6.5(g), during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing until 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on September 22, 2016 (the “Go Shop Period End Time”), the Company Parties and their respective Representatives may and shall have the right to, directly or indirectly: (i) initiate, solicit, encourage or facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal, offer or other action that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, including by way of (A) contacting third parties, (B) broadly disseminating public disclosure or (C) providing access to the properties, offices, assets, books, records and personnel of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and furnishing non-public information pursuant to (but only pursuant to) one or more Acceptable Confidentiality Agreements; provided, however, that the Company has previously or concurrently furnished, made available or provided access to such non-public information to the Parent Parties; (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person relating to, or in furtherance of such inquiries, proposals, offers or other actions or to obtain, an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) release any Person from, or refrain from enforcing, any standstill agreement or similar obligation to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries; and (iv) disclose to the stockholders of the Company any information required to be disclosed under applicable Law; provided, however, that in the case of this clause (iv) such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Company Change in Recommendation if not accompanied by an express public re-affirmation of the Company Recommendation. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Go Shop Bidder” shall mean any Person (including its controlled Affiliates and Representatives) that submits a proposal or offer regarding an Acquisition Proposal not later than the Go Shop Period End Time that has not been withdrawn and that the Company Special Committee determines prior to the Go Shop Period End Time (or in the case of any Acquisition Proposal received less than two Business Days before the date of the Go Shop Period End Time, not later than two Business Days after the Go Shop Period End Time), has resulted in, or would be reasonably expected to result in, a Superior Proposal. No later than two Business Days after the Go Shop Period End Time, the Company shall notify Parent in writing of the identity of each Go Shop Bidder and provide to Parent (x) a copy of any related Acquisition Proposal made in writing and any other written material terms or proposals provided (including, to the extent not included therein, a copy of the acquisition agreement and any related transaction documents and financing commitments, if any) to the Company or any Company Subsidiary and (y) a written summary of the material terms of any related Acquisition Proposal not made in writing (including any material terms proposed orally or supplementally).

(b) Except as permitted by, and subject to, Section 6.5(d), Section 6.5(e) and Section 6.5(g), and except with respect to a Go Shop Bidder, from and after the Go Shop Period End Time, the Company shall not, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries not to, and shall not authorize or permit any of its Representatives to, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal, offer or other action that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person, or furnish to any Person other than Parent any non-public information, in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) release any Person from or fail to enforce any standstill agreement or similar obligation to the Company or any Company Subsidiary, (iv) withdraw, modify or amend the Company Recommendation in any manner adverse to the Parent Parties or fail to make the Company Recommendation or fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement, (v) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal (any event described in clause (iv) or this clause (v), whether taken by the Company Board or a committee thereof, a “Company Change in Recommendation”), (vi) enter into any agreement in principle, arrangement, understanding, contract or agreement (whether binding or not) contemplating or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or (vii) take any action to exempt any Person from any takeover statute or similar restrictive provision of the Company Charter or Company Bylaws. For the avoidance of doubt, after the Go Shop Period End Time until the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company, Company Subsidiaries and each of their respective Representatives may continue to take any of the actions described in Section 6.5(a) with respect to any proposals or offers regarding any Acquisition Proposal submitted by a Go Shop Bidder on or before the Go Shop Period End Time or with respect to any amended or modified proposal or offer with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal submitted by a Go Shop Bidder after the Go Shop Period End Time if the Company Special Committee has determined in good faith following consultation with its legal and financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal (as may be amended or modified) is or is reasonably expected to lead to a Superior Proposal; provided that a Go Shop Bidder shall cease to be a Go Shop Bidder if the negotiations between the Company and such Go Shop Bidder with respect to the Acquisition Proposal that resulted in such Go Shop Bidder becoming a Go Shop Bidder shall have been terminated. The Company agrees that in the event any Representative of the Company or any Company Subsidiary takes any action that, if taken by the Company, would constitute a material violation of this Section 6.5(b), then the Company shall be deemed to be in violation of this Section 6.5(b) for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Except as permitted by, and subject to, Section 6.5(b), Section 6.5(d), Section 6.5(e) and Section 6.5(g), after the Go Shop Period End Time, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary and each of their respective Representatives to, immediately cease any discussions, negotiations or communications with any Person (other than Go Shop Bidders and the Parent Parties) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal and immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such Person (other than Go Shop Bidders and the Parent Parties).

(d) If, from and after the Go Shop Period End Time and prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company or any Company Subsidiary or their respective Representatives receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal which has not been initiated, solicited, encouraged or facilitated in violation of Section 6.5(b), and which the Company Special Committee has determined in good faith following consultation with its legal and financial advisors is or is reasonably expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, the Company and Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives thereafter may take the following actions (but only if and to the extent that the Company Special Committee determines in good faith following consultation with its legal advisors that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law: (i) furnish, make available or provide access to non-public information with respect to the Company and Company Subsidiaries to the Person who made such Acquisition Proposal and such Person’s Representatives (provided that the Company (A) concurrently or has previously furnished, made available or provided access to such non-public information to the Parent Parties and (B) furnishes, makes available or provides access to such non-public information pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement), (ii) participate in negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal, and (iii) disclose to the stockholders of the Company any information required to be disclosed under applicable Law; provided, however, that in the case of this clause (iii) such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Company Change in Recommendation if not accompanied by an express public re-affirmation of the Company Recommendation. From and after the Go Shop Period End Time, in the event the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Representatives receives from a Person (including a Go Shop Bidder) or group of related Persons (x) an Acquisition Proposal or an amended or modified proposal or offer with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal, (y) any request for information relating to the Company or Company Subsidiaries from a Person who informs the Company or any Company Subsidiary that it is considering making or has made an Acquisition Proposal or (z) any inquiry or request for discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall promptly notify Parent of (but in no event more than 48 hours following) such receipt. Such notification shall include, to the extent then known, the identity of the parties and a copy of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request or, if not made in writing, a written description of the material terms thereof. The Company shall keep Parent apprised on a current basis of (and in any event no later than 24 hours after) any material developments, discussions and negotiations concerning, any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request, including by furnishing copies of any documentation and written correspondence that supplements or amends any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to the preceding three sentences, nothing herein shall prohibit the Company, Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from contacting in writing any Person submitting an Acquisition Proposal (that was not the result of a violation of this Section 6.5) solely to clarify the terms of the Acquisition Proposal for the sole purpose of the Company Board (or the Company Special Committee) informing itself about such Acquisition Proposal. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any confidentiality agreement that would prohibit it from providing such information to Parent.

(e) At any time prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may, if the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its legal advisor (and based on the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) that the failure to do so would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, (i) upon receipt by the Company of an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal (whether or not from a Go Shop Bidder), make a Company Change in Recommendation (and the Company may so terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(c)(ii) of this Agreement and enter into an agreement relating to, or for the implementation of, such Superior Proposal); or (ii) otherwise make a Company Change in Recommendation in response to a Company Intervening Event; provided that

(A) in the case of a Company Change in Recommendation under clause (i) of this Section 6.5(e), (1) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from the Company’s breach of its obligations under this Section 6.5, and (2) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its legal and financial advisors (and based on the recommendation of the Company Special Committee), that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with its legal advisor, that the failure of the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(c)(ii) or make a Company Change in Recommendation, as the case may be, would be inconsistent with its duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, taking into account all adjustments to the terms of this Agreement that may be offered by the Parent Parties pursuant to Section 6.5(e)(D);

(B) in the case of a Company Change in Recommendation under clause (ii) of this Section 6.5(e), the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its legal advisor (and based on the recommendation of the Company Special Committee), that failure of the Company to make a Company Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with its duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, taking into account all adjustments to the terms of this Agreement that may be offered by the Parent Parties pursuant to Section 6.5(e)(D);

(C) the Company has notified Parent in writing that the Company Board intends to make a Company Change in Recommendation or enter into an agreement related to the Superior Proposal, attaching the most current version of such agreement (including any amendments, supplements or modifications) to such notice (a “Company Change Notice”); and

(D) during the five Business Day period following Parent’s receipt of a Company Change Notice, the Company shall have offered to negotiate with (and, if accepted, negotiated in good faith with), and shall have caused its respective financial and legal advisors to offer to negotiate with (and, if accepted, negotiate in good faith with), Parent in making adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (1) such that in circumstances involving or relating to an Acquisition Proposal, the Superior Proposal ceases to be a Superior Proposal; provided that any amendment, supplement or modification to any Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed a new Acquisition Proposal and the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) or make a Company Change in Recommendation pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 6.5(e) unless the Company has complied with the requirements of this Section 6.5(e) with respect to each such new Acquisition Proposal including sending a Company Change Notice with respect to each such new Acquisition Proposal (except that the new negotiation period under this Section 6.5(e)(D) shall be three Business Days instead of five Business Days), and (2) in circumstances not involving an Acquisition Proposal, as may be proposed by Parent

(f) Notwithstanding any Company Change in Recommendation, unless such Company Change in Recommendation is with respect to a Superior Proposal and the Company terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(c)(ii) of this Agreement, the Company shall cause the approval of the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated hereby to be submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

(g) Nothing in this Section 6.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent the Company Board or the Company, directly or indirectly, from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, making any required disclosure to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, including Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its legal advisors (and based on the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; provided, however, that to the extent any such disclosure addresses the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Company Board with respect to this Agreement or an Acquisition Proposal, such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Company Change in Recommendation if not accompanied by an express public re-affirmation of the Company Recommendation.

(h) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal or offer, whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions, relating to any (a) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving the Company or any Company Subsidiary, (b) sale or other disposition, by merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or any similar transaction, of any assets of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries representing 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (c) issue, sale or other disposition by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, such securities) representing 20% or more of the votes associated with the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, (d) tender offer or exchange offer in which any Person or “group” (as such term is defined under the Exchange Act) shall acquire beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), or the right to acquire beneficial ownership, of 20% or more of the votes associated with the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, (e) recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other similar type of transaction with respect to the Company in which a third party shall acquire beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, or (f) transaction that is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions; provided, however, that the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall not include (i) the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) any merger, consolidation, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction solely among the Company and one or more of the Company Subsidiaries or solely among the Company Subsidiaries.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means a written Acquisition Proposal made by a third party (except for purposes of this definition, the references in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” to “20%” shall be replaced with “50%”) which the Company Board (based on the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its legal and financial advisors and after taking into account (a) all of the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal and this Agreement (as it may be proposed to be amended by the Parent Parties) and (b) the feasibility and certainty of consummation of such Acquisition Proposal on the terms proposed (taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal and conditions to consummation thereof)) to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s stockholders (in their capacities as stockholders) than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (as it may be proposed to be amended by the Parent Parties)).

Section 6.6 Parent Change in Recommendation.

(a) Except as permitted by, and subject to, Section 6.6(b), from and after the date of this Agreement, Parent shall not withdraw, modify or amend the Parent Recommendation in any manner adverse to the Company or fail to make the Parent Recommendation or fail to include the Parent Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement (such event, whether taken by the Parent Board or a committee thereof, a “Parent Change in Recommendation”).

(b) At any time prior to receipt of the Parent Stockholder Approval, the Parent Board may, if the Parent Board determines in good faith after consultation with its legal and financial advisors that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its duties to the stockholders of Parent under applicable Law, make a Parent Change in Recommendation in response to a Parent Intervening Event; provided that

(i) the Parent Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its legal and financial advisors, that failure of Parent to make a Parent Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with its duties to the stockholders of Parent under applicable Law, taking into account all adjustments to the terms of this Agreement that may be offered by the Company pursuant to Section 6.5;

(ii) Parent has notified the Company in writing that the Parent Board intends to make a Parent Change in Recommendation (a “Parent Change Notice”); and

(iii) During the five Business Day period following the Company’s receipt of a Parent Change Notice, Parent shall have offered to negotiate with (and, if accepted, negotiated in good faith with), and shall have caused its respective financial and legal advisors to offer to negotiate with (and, if accepted, negotiate in good faith with), the Company in making adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as may be proposed by the Company.

Section 6.7 Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Company Parties and each of the Parent Parties shall and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and the Parent Subsidiaries, respectively, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or pursuant to any contract or agreement to consummate and make effective, as promptly as practicable, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the taking of all actions necessary to cause the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII to be satisfied, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities or other Persons necessary in connection with the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authority or other Persons necessary in connection with the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Authority vacated or reversed, the avoidance of each and every impediment under any antitrust, merger control, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Mergers so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible, and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, each of the Parent Parties and the Company Parties shall give (or shall cause the Parent Subsidiaries or the Company Subsidiaries, respectively, to give) any notices to Third Parties, and each of the Parent Parties and the Company Parties shall use, and cause each of their respective Affiliates to use, its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Third Party consents not covered by Section 6.6(a) that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Mergers. Each of the parties hereto will furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with the preparation of any required governmental filings or submissions and will cooperate in responding to any inquiry from a Governmental Authority, including promptly informing the other parties of such inquiry, consulting in advance before making any presentations or submissions to a Governmental Authority, and supplying each other with copies of all material correspondence, filings or communications between either party and any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement. To the extent reasonably practicable, the parties or their Representatives shall have the right to review in advance and each of the parties will consult the others on, all the information relating to the other and each of their Affiliates that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Authority in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that confidential competitively sensitive business information may be redacted from such exchanges. To the extent reasonably practicable, none of the parties hereto shall, nor shall they permit their respective Representatives to, participate independently in any meeting or engage in any substantive conversation with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry without giving the other party prior notice of such meeting or conversation and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, without giving the other parties the opportunity to attend or participate (whether by telephone or in person) in any such meeting with such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, obtaining any approval or consent from any third party pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) shall not be a condition to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Mergers.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with obtaining any approval or consent from any Person (other than any Governmental Authority) with respect to the Mergers, none of the parties hereto, any of the Company Subsidiaries, any of the Parent Subsidiaries or any of the their respective Representatives, shall be obligated to pay or commit to pay to such Person whose approval or consent is being solicited any cash or other consideration, make any accommodation or commitment or incur any liability or other obligation to such Person (unless expressly required by a written agreement that was entered into prior to the date hereof with such Person). The parties shall cooperate with respect to accommodations that may be requested or appropriate to obtain such consents.

(a) The Company Parties shall give prompt notice to the Parent Parties, and the Parent Parties shall give prompt notice to the Company Parties, of any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The Company Parties shall give prompt notice to the Parent Parties, and the Parent Parties shall give prompt notice to the Company Parties, if (i) any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becomes untrue or inaccurate such that the applicable closing conditions would reasonably expected to be incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date or (ii) it fails to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company Parties shall give prompt notice to the Parent Parties, and the Parent Parties shall give prompt notice to the Company Parties, if, to the knowledge of such party, the occurrence of any state of facts, change, development, event or condition would cause, or reasonably be expected to cause, any of the conditions to Closing set forth herein not to be satisfied or satisfaction to be materially delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the failure by the Company Parties or the Parent Parties to provide such prompt notice under this Section 6.8(b) shall not constitute a breach of covenant for purposes of Section 7.2(b) ‎or Section 7.3(b).

(c) The Company Parties shall give prompt notice to the Parent Parties, and the Parent Parties shall give prompt notice to the Company Parties, of any Action commenced or, to such party’s knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving such party or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the Parent Subsidiaries, respectively, which relate to this Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company Parties shall give the Parent Parties the opportunity to reasonably participate in the defense and settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company Parties and/or their directors relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Parent Parties shall give the Company Parties the opportunity to reasonably participate in the defense and settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Parent Parties and/or their directors relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the Company’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 6.9 Public Announcements. The parties hereto shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements or filings with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the parties shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement or filing prior to obtaining the other parties’ consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that a party may, without obtaining the other parties’ consent, issue such press release or make such public statement or filing as may be required by Law, Order or the applicable rules of any stock exchange or the applicable provisions of any listing agreement of any party hereto. If for any reason it is not practicable to consult with the other party before making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, then the party making such statement shall not make a statement that is inconsistent with public statements or filings to which the other party had previously consented; provided, further, that such consultation and consent shall not be required with respect to any release, communication or announcement specifically permitted by Section 6.5.

Section 6.10 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall provide exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses for each Indemnitee, which is at least as favorable in scope and amount to such Indemnitee as the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provided to such Indemnitee by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time in the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws, each of the Company Subsidiaries’ respective articles or certificates of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational or governing documents), or written agreement, as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided that such exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses covers actions at or prior to the Effective Time, including all transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting or being limited by the provisions of Section 6.10(a), during the period commencing as of the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Entity shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to): (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnitee against and from any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such Action arises out of or pertains to (x) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnitee’s capacity as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, employee or agent of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, or (y) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Mergers; and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such Action the expenses (including attorneys’ fees and any expenses incurred by any Indemnitee in connection with enforcing any rights with respect to indemnification) of any Indemnitee upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under Maryland law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Parent or the Surviving Entity (i) shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (ii) shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine in a final and non-appealable order that such indemnification is prohibited by applicable Law, in which case the Indemnitee shall promptly refund to Parent or the Surviving Entity the amount of all such expenses theretofore advanced pursuant hereto.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall or, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for the non-cancellable extension of the coverage afforded by the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies and the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, the “D&O Insurance”), in each case, for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time from one or more insurance carriers with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions and retentions that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies and with limits of liability that are no lower than the limits on the Company’s existing policies as long as the annual premium in the aggregate does not exceed three hundred percent (300%) of the annual aggregate premium(s) under the Company’s existing policies. If the Company or the Surviving Entity for any reason fails to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, (i) the Surviving Entity shall continue to maintain in effect, for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the D&O Insurance in place as of the date hereof with the Company’s current insurance carrier or with an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof, or (ii) Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to provide, for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Indemnitees who are insured under the Company’s D&O Insurance with comparable D&O Insurance that provides coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier, that is no less favorable in the aggregate than the existing policy of the Company (which may be provided under Parent’s D&O Insurance policy) or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Entity shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such insurance; and provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent or the Surviving Entity shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(d) The Indemnitees to whom this Section 6.10 applies are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10. The provisions of this Section 6.10 are intended to be for the benefit of each Indemnitee and his or her successors, heirs, executors, trustees, fiduciaries, administrators or representatives. Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnitee in successfully enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 6.10.

(e) The rights of each Indemnitee under this Section 6.10 shall be in addition to any rights such Person or any employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary may have under the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or equivalent organizational or governing documents) of any of the Company Subsidiaries, or the Surviving Entity or any of its subsidiaries, or under any applicable Law or under any agreement of any Indemnitee. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or its officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.10 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 9.1 or Section 9.7 to the contrary, this Section 6.9 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Entity and its subsidiaries, and shall be enforceable by the Indemnitees and their successors, heirs or representatives. In the event that Parent or the Surviving Entity or any of its successors or assigns 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 transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10. The parties acknowledge and agree that Parent guarantees the payment and performance of the Surviving Entity’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11 Certain Tax Matters. Each of Parent and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, including by executing and delivering the Parent Reorganization Representation Letter and Company Reorganization Representation Letter, respectively, and reporting consistently for all federal, state, and local income Tax or other purposes.

then, in each such case, the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee or, solely with respect to a termination by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii) or Section 8.1(d)(iii), in each case in connection with the Company entering into or recommending a Superior Proposal with a Go Shop Bidder on or before the date that is fifteen (15) days following the Go Shop Period End Time, the Go Shop Termination Fee, as applicable, in immediately available funds to an account directed by Parent, which payment shall be made (x) within three (3) Business Days of the Termination Date, in the case of a Termination Fee or Go Shop Termination Fee, as applicable, payable pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i); (y) concurrently with, and as a condition to the effectiveness of, termination, in the case of a Termination Fee or Go Shop Termination Fee, as applicable, payable pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(ii); and (z) at the time of consummation of any transaction contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal, in the case of a Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(iii).

(d) For purposes of this Agreement:

(e) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, the other parties would not enter into this Agreement. In the event that the Company shall fail to pay the Go Shop Termination Fee, the Termination Fee or Parent’s Expenses or Parent shall fail to pay the Company’s Expenses, as the case may be, when due, the Company or Parent, as the case may be, shall reimburse Parent or the Company, as the case may be, for all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred or accrued by Parent or the Company, as the case may be (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the collection under and enforcement of this Section 8.3. Further, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3, and, in order to obtain the payment, Parent or the Company, as the case may be, commences a suit which results in a judgment against the Company or Parent, as the case may be, for the payment set forth in this Section 8.3, the Company shall pay to Parent, or Parent shall pay to the Company, as the case may be, its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit. If payable, none of the Go Shop Termination Fee, the Termination Fee or the Parent Expenses shall be payable more than once pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) In the event that the Company or Parent, as the case may be (the “Paying Party”), is obligated to pay the Termination Fee or the Go Shop Termination Fee, as the case may be, to the other (the “Fee Recipient”), the Paying Party shall pay the Termination Fee or the Go Shop Termination Fee, as the case may be, into escrow, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Termination Fee or the Go Shop Termination Fee, as the case may be, and (ii) the sum of (1) the maximum amount that can be paid to the Fee Recipient without causing the Fee Recipient to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income described in Sections 856(c)(2)(A)(H) or 856(c)(3)(A)(I) of the Code (“Qualifying Income”), as determined by the Fee Recipient’s independent certified public accountants, plus (2) in the event the Fee Recipient receives either (A) a letter from the its counsel indicating that the Fee Recipient has received a ruling from the IRS described in Section 8.3(g) or (B) an opinion from the Fee Recipient’s outside counsel as described in Section 8.3(g), an amount equal to the Termination Fee or the Go Shop Termination Fee, as the case may be, less the amount payable under clause (1) above. To secure the Paying Party’s obligation to pay these amounts, it shall deposit into escrow an amount in cash equal to the Termination Fee or the Go Shop Termination Fee, as the case may be, with an escrow agent selected by the Fee Recipient and on such terms (subject to Section 8.3(g)) as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Fee Recipient and the escrow agent. The payment or deposit into escrow by the Paying Party shall be made by wire transfer at the time the Paying Party is obligated to pay the Fee Recipient such amount.

(g) The escrow agreement shall provide that the Termination Fee or the Go Shop Termination Fee, as the case may be, in escrow or any portion thereof shall not be released to the Fee Recipient unless the escrow agent receives any one or combination of the following: (i) a letter from the Fee Recipient’s independent certified public accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to it without causing it to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute Qualifying Income or a subsequent letter from the Fee Recipient’s accountants revising that amount, in which case the escrow agent shall release such amount to the Fee Recipient, or (ii) a letter from the Fee Recipient’s counsel indicating that the Fee Recipient received a ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by it of the Termination Fee or the Go Shop Termination Fee, as the case may be, would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code (or alternatively, the Fee Recipient’s outside counsel has rendered a legal opinion to the effect that the receipt by the Fee Recipient of the Termination Fee or the Go Shop Termination Fee, as the case may be, would constitute Qualifying Income, would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code or would not otherwise disqualify the Fee Recipient as a REIT), in which case the escrow agent shall release the remainder of the Termination Fee or the Go Shop Termination Fee, as the case may be, to the Fee Recipient. The parties hereto agree to amend this Section 8.3(g) and Section 8.3(f) at the request of the Fee Recipient in order to (x) maximize the portion of the Termination Fee or the Go Shop Termination Fee, as the case may be, that may be distributed to the Fee Recipient hereunder without causing the Fee Recipient to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, (y) improve the Fee Recipient’s chances of securing a favorable ruling described in this Section 8.3(g) or (z) assist the Fee Recipient in obtaining a favorable legal opinion from its outside counsel as described in this Section 8.3(g). The escrow agreement shall also provide that any portion of the Termination Fee or the Go Shop Termination Fee, as the case may be, remaining in escrow on the date that is five years after the date the Termination Fee or the Go Shop Termination Fee, as the case may be, was deposited into escrow shall be released by the escrow agent to the Fee Recipient. Any costs and expenses of the escrow agent shall be borne solely by the Fee Recipient.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, no Termination Fee or expense reimbursement shall be due to either party in the event of a termination pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii) or Section 8.1(b)(iv).

Section 8.4 Amendment. Subject to compliance with applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement of the parties hereto by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors (or similar governing body or entity) at any time before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval or the Parent Stockholder Approval and prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that after the Company Stockholder Approval or the Parent Stockholder Approval has been obtained, there shall not be (a) any amendment of this Agreement that changes the amount or the form of the consideration to be delivered under this Agreement to the holders of Company Common Stock, or which by applicable Law or in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange requires the further approval of the stockholders of the Company or the approval of the stockholders of Parent without such approval of such stockholders, or (b) any amendment or change not permitted under applicable Law. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sections 9.7, 9.8, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such provision would modify the substance of such Sections) may not be amended, supplement, waived or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources.

Section 8.5 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, subject to applicable Law, any party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) subject to the proviso of Section 8.4, waive compliance with any agreement or condition contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

Section 8.6 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such Expenses, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated; provided, however, that the Company and Parent shall share equally all Expenses related to the printing and filing of the Form S-4 and the printing, filing and distribution of the Joint Proxy Statement, other than attorneys’ and accountants’ fees.

Section 9.3 Interpretation; Certain Definitions. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. References to “this Agreement” shall include the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Schedule, or Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of, or a Schedule or Exhibit to, this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings for this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other instrument made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor Laws. References to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. All references to “dollars” or “$” refer to currency of the United States of America.

102

Section 9.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any present or future Law, or public policy, (a) such term or other provision shall be fully separable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and (c) all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable term or other provision or by its severance herefrom so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect promptly the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.5 Assignment; Delegation. Other than to the Surviving Entity and the Surviving Partnership, neither this Agreement nor any rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

Section 9.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto) constitutes, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 9.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except for the provisions of Section 6.10 (from and after the Effective Time), which shall be to the benefit of the parties referred to in such section, and except that the Financing Sources shall be express third party beneficiaries of Sections 9.7, 9.8, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 (and, in respect to the foregoing Sections, Section 8.4), each of such Sections shall expressly inure to the benefit of the Financing Sources and the Financing Sources shall be entitled to rely on and enforce the provisions of such Sections. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 8.5 without notice or liability to any other Person. The representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Accordingly, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

103

Section 9.8 Specific Performance; Non-Recourse. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Company Related Party (other than Parent and the Parent Operating Partnership) shall have any rights or claims against any Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Merger, the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and no Financing Source shall have any rights or claims against any Company Related Party (other than Parent and the Parent Operating Partnership) in connection with this Agreement, the Merger, the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise; provided that, following consummation of the Merger, the foregoing will not limit the rights of the parties to the Debt Financing under any commitment letter related thereto. In addition, in no event will any Financial Source be liable for consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or indirect damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) or damages of a tortuous nature, in each case, in any way related to this Agreement, the Merger, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 9.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by e-mail of a pdf attachment shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.10 Governing Law. This Agreement and all Actions (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise), directly or indirectly, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of the parties hereto in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Maryland.

104

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto and the Company Related Parties agree that any claim, controversy or dispute any kind or nature (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) against a Debt Financing Source that is in any way related to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles (other than sections 5 1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law); provided that the interpretations of (a) a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined on Exhibit B to the Commitment Letter, dated as of the date hereof (the “Debt Commitment Letter”), by and among the Parent Operating Partnership and the Financing Sources party thereto), (b) the accuracy of any Purchase Agreement Representation (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) and whether as a result of a breach thereof Parent, the Parent Operating Partnership (or any of their respective affiliates) has the right to terminate Parent’s, the Parent Operating Partnership’s or their respective affiliates’ obligations under this Agreement and (c) whether the Merger has been consummated in accordance with this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland.

Section 9.11 Consent to Jurisdiction.

Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

105
