W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the parties intend that Merger Sub be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

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

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

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Guarantors is entering into a limited guarantee in favor of the Company (each a “Limited Guarantee”) pursuant to which each of the Guarantors is guaranteeing certain obligations of Parent and Merger Sub in connection with this Agreement as specified and subject to the terms and conditions therein.

WHEREAS, prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company have entered into a Voting Agreement in connection with the Merger.

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements specified herein in connection with this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the

General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will continue its corporate existence under Delaware law as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).

Section 1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Wachtell, Lipton, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, at 10:00 a.m., local time, on (a) the later of (i) a date which shall be the third (3^rd) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver in accordance with this Agreement by the party having the benefit of the applicable condition (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions to be taken at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with this Agreement by the party having the benefit of the applicable condition) of all conditions at the Closing), and (ii) the earlier of (x) a date during the Marketing Period to be specified by Parent on no fewer than five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Company, and (y) the third (3^rd) Business Day following the final day of the Marketing Period (subject, in the case of each of subclauses (x) and (y) of this clause (ii), to the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with this Agreement by the party having the benefit of the applicable condition) of all conditions set forth in Article VI as of the date determined pursuant to this Section 1.2 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment (or waiver in accordance with this Agreement by the party having the benefit of the applicable condition) of all conditions at the Closing)), or (b) at such other place, date and time as the Company and Parent may agree in writing; provided that the Closing Date specified in any notice delivered pursuant to subclause (ii)(x) immediately above may be conditioned upon the simultaneous completion of the Debt Financing, it being understood and agreed that if such Debt Financing is not completed for any reason at such time, such notice shall automatically be deemed withdrawn); provided further, however, that in no event will the Closing occur during the first three (3) Business Days of a quarter, and if the Closing would otherwise have occurred pursuant to this Section 1.2 during such three (3) Business Day period, then the Closing will instead occur on the fourth Business Day of such quarter (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, the Closing at such later time shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with this Agreement by the party having the benefit of the applicable condition) of all conditions at the Closing). The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.3 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Company will cause a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL. The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date or time as may be agreed by the Company and Merger Sub in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

-2-

Section 1.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

Section 1.5 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. Subject to Section 5.9, at the Effective Time, (a) the certificate of incorporation of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation; and (b) the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in their entirety to read as set forth in Exhibit B hereto, and, as so amended, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and such bylaws.

Section 1.6 Directors.

Section 1.7 Officers. The officers of the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, incapacitation, retirement, resignation or removal.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SHARES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or the holders of any securities of the Company or Merger Sub:

(a) Conversion of Common Stock. Each share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (such shares, collectively, the “Common Stock,” and each, a “Share”), other than Shares to be cancelled or converted pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and, other than Dissenting Shares, shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive $46.25 in cash without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). All Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 2.1 shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and the holders of certificates or Book-Entry Shares that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.2 (less any applicable withholding Taxes).

-3-

(b) Company, Subsidiary, Parent and Merger Sub-Owned Shares. Each Share that is owned directly by the Company (or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company), Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Excluded Shares”) shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange for such cancellation and retirement.

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(d) Dissenters’ Rights. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if required by the DGCL (but only to the extent required thereby), Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Excluded Shares) and that are held by holders of such Shares who have not voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who have properly exercised appraisal rights with respect thereto in accordance with, and who have complied with, Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and holders of such Dissenting Shares will be entitled instead to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262 unless and until any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its rights to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such right, such Dissenting Shares will thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and had become exchangeable for, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for payment of the Merger Consideration for such Shares. At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and as provided in the previous sentence. The Company will give Parent (i) notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisals of Shares and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such notices and demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle, compromise, offer to settle or compromise any such demands.

(e) Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that the Company changes the number of shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time, as applicable, as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration, as applicable, shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

Section 2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to or concurrently with the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a U.S. bank or trust company that shall be appointed by Parent to act as a paying agent hereunder (and which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) (the “Paying Agent”), in trust for the benefit of holders of the Shares (other than the Excluded Shares), cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration in exchange for all of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Excluded Shares), payable upon due surrender of the certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Shares (“Certificates”) (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1(a) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Payment Procedures.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the second Business Day following the Closing Date, the Paying Agent shall mail to each holder of record of Shares whose Shares were converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a), (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may mutually agree) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration to which such holder of Shares is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (less any applicable withholding Taxes).

(ii) Upon surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares represented by such holder’s properly surrendered Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares and (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes). No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be paid upon due surrender of the Certificate may be paid to such a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(iii) The Paying Agent, the Company and its Subsidiaries, Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise

-5-

payable under this Agreement such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(c) Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent for transfer, they shall be cancelled and, subject to compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.2(b), exchanged for the cash such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (less any applicable withholding Taxes) to be paid by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such holder.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains undistributed to the former holders of Shares for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand, and any former holders of Shares who have not surrendered their Shares in accordance with this Section 2.2 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (less any applicable withholding Taxes), without any interest thereon, upon due surrender of their Shares.

(e) No Liability. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by stockholders of the Company as of a date that is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent (or at Parent’s election, the Surviving Corporation) free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest all cash included in the Exchange Fund as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 2.2(d).

(g) Lost Certificates. In the case of any Certificate that has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with

-6-

respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate a check in the amount of the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Merger Consideration.

Section 2.3 Treatment of Stock Options and Other Stock-Based Awards.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed between Parent and a particular award holder, each option to purchase Shares granted under a Company Equity Plan (each, a “Company Option”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, become fully vested and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share of such Company Option multiplied by (ii) the total number of Shares subject to such Company Option. The Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall pay to the former holders of Company Options the cash amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment, no later than the second payroll cycle of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time.

(b) Except as otherwise agreed between Parent and a particular award holder, each award of restricted stock or restricted stock units granted under a Company Equity Plan that corresponds to Shares, including performance-based market stock unit awards (“Company MSU Awards”) and phantom stock awards (collectively, “Company RSU Awards”), that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, as of the Effective Time, be treated in the following manner:

(i) any (A) portion of such Company RSU Award held by an employee below the level of Senior Vice President that, pursuant to the terms of the award agreement evidencing such Company RSU Award as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “RSU Award Agreement”), is scheduled to vest on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (without regard to the occurrence of a Change in Control or similar term as defined, including by reference, in the RSU Award Agreement), and (B) such Company RSU Award that is held by an employee at the level of Senior Vice President or above or by a member of the Board of Directors of the Company shall become fully vested (without regard to the satisfaction of any performance condition) and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (1) the total number of Shares subject to such Company RSU Award, or portion thereof, multiplied by (2) the Merger Consideration; provided, that, with respect to each Company MSU Award, the number of Shares subject to such award shall be the number of Shares determined by applying a Vesting Percentage (as defined in the RSU Award Agreement) of 100% to such Company MSU Award;

(ii) any portion of such Company RSU Award held by an employee below the level of Senior Vice President that, pursuant to the terms of the RSU Award Agreement, is scheduled to vest after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, shall be converted into an award (a “Converted Award”) representing a right to receive an amount

-7-

in cash equal to the product of (A) the total number of Shares subject to such portion of such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration. Such Converted Award shall continue to vest and be settled in cash in accordance with the terms of the RSU Award Agreement; provided, however, that (1) the scheduled vesting date for each portion of such Converted Award scheduled to vest after the first anniversary of the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of the RSU Award Agreement shall be modified to be one year prior to such scheduled vesting date without regard to the satisfaction of any performance condition, and (2) any Converted Award that is held by an award holder whose employment is terminated after the Effective Time and on or prior to the final vesting date of such Converted Award (after giving effect to this Section 2.3(b)(ii)) by Parent and its Subsidiaries without Cause (as defined in the RSU Award Agreement, or, if there is no such definition, as defined herein) or is otherwise terminated under circumstances entitling such award holder to severance payments, shall vest in full as of such termination; and

(iii) The Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall pay to the holders of Company RSU Awards the cash amounts described in this Section 2.3(b), less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment, within five calendar days following the date that such Company RSU Award, or portion thereof, vests. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holders of Company Options or Company RSU Awards, as applicable, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall adopt such resolutions and take all other appropriate actions that do not involve the payment of any consideration required to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 2.3, including to ensure that (i) all awards issued under the Company Equity Plans shall be treated in accordance with this Section 2.3; (ii) after the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed between Parent and a particular award holder, neither any holder of Company Equity Awards, nor any other participant in any Company Equity Plan shall have any right thereunder to acquire any securities of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, or Parent, or to receive any payment or benefit with respect to any award previously granted under the Company Equity Plans, except as provided in this Section 2.3 and (iii) on and after the Effective Time, no further Company Equity Awards or other rights with respect to Shares shall be granted or outstanding under any Company Equity Plan. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and to the extent applicable or required, the Surviving Corporation shall deliver to the holders of Company Equity Awards, appropriate notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the Company Equity Plans and this Agreement.

Section 2.4 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Following the date of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (or a committee thereof) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to provide that, with respect to the ESPP: (i) the Option Period (as such term is defined in the ESPP) in effect as of the date hereof shall conclude no later than the earlier of June 30, 2013 or the Closing Date; (ii) no new Option Period shall commence following the date

-8-

of this Agreement; (iii) any individual participating in the Option Period in effect as of the date hereof shall not be permitted (A) to increase the amount of his or her rate of payroll contributions thereunder from the rate in effect as of the date of this Agreement, or (B) to make separate non-payroll contributions to the ESPP on or following the date of this Agreement; and (iv) no individual who is not participating in the ESPP as of the date of this Agreement may commence participation in the ESPP following the date of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, at any time following the Go Shop Period End Date and prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval:

(i) if the Company receives an Alternative Proposal (provided that such Alternative Proposal does not result from any material breach of the restrictions in Section 5.3(c) above) which the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, (A) constitutes a Superior Proposal or (B) could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, the Company may take the following actions: (x) furnish nonpublic information to the third party making such Alternative Proposal, if, and only if, prior to so furnishing such information, such third party has entered into an executed confidentiality agreement with the Company having provisions that are no less favorable to the Company in any substantive respect than provisions of the Confidentiality Agreements (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement (I) need not contain any “standstill” or similar provisions or otherwise prohibit the making of or amendment to any Alternative Proposal and (II) shall not contain an obligation of the Company to reimburse the expenses of the counterparty), and (y) engage in discussions or negotiations with such third party with respect to the Alternative Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall (1) immediately notify Parent (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) of the determination by the Board of Directors of the Company contemplated by this Section 5.3(e)(i), and (2) promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) make available to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries that is provided to any such third party that was not previously made available to Parent and (3) otherwise continue to comply with Section 5.3(d); provided, further, that this Section 5.3(e)(i) shall not apply to Alternative Proposals (or amendments or modifications thereto) made by Excluded Parties prior to the Cut-off Date, which are governed by Section 5.3(a); and

(ii) if the Company receives an Alternative Proposal (provided that such Alternative Proposal does not arise from any material breach of the restrictions in Section 5.3(c)) that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel that such Alternative Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal (taking into account any adjustment to the terms and conditions of the Merger proposed by Parent in response to such Alternative Proposal), then, the Board of Directors of the Company may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(g) if and only if (A) the Company shall have given written notice to Parent at least four (4) Business Days in advance to the effect that the Company has received such Superior Proposal (a “Superior Proposal Notice”), and the Board of Directors of the Company intends to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(g) unless Parent proposes any revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that renders such Alternative Proposal no longer a Superior Proposal, specifying the identity of the Person or group making the Superior Proposal, and attaching a copy of all relevant transaction agreements and other material documents relating to such Superior Proposal (or, where no such copy is available, a description of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal), (B) during the four (4) Business Days following the delivery of such Superior Proposal Notice (the “Notice Period”), the Board of Directors of the Company shall and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (C) upon the expiration of the Notice Period, either (1) Parent shall not have proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), or (2) if Parent within such period shall have proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, shall have

-43-

determined in good faith that the third party’s Alternative Proposal remains a Superior Proposal with respect to Parent’s revised proposal; provided, that each time material modifications to the terms of an Alternative Proposal determined to be Superior Proposal are made (it being understood any change to the financial terms of such proposal shall be deemed a material modification), the Company shall notify Parent of such modification and the time period set forth in the preceding clause (B) shall be extended for three (3) Business Days.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, other than in connection with a Superior Proposal, if an Intervening Event shall have occurred, the Board of Directors of the Company may withdraw (or qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), and exclude from the Proxy Statement, the Recommendation solely in respect of such Intervening Event, or publicly propose to do so, if (A) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors of the Company to effect such Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (B) the Company shall have given written notice to Parent at least four (4) Business Days in advance to the effect that an Intervening Event has occurred, specifying the facts and circumstances of such Intervening Event in reasonable detail, and informing Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company intends to effect a Change of Recommendation with respect to such Intervening Event, (C) during such four (4) Business Day period, the Board of Directors of the Company shall and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (D) upon the expiration of such four (4) Business Day period, the Board of Directors of the Company, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, shall have determined in good faith that, after taking into account proposed revisions (if any) by Parent to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation with respect to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that the Company shall deliver a new written notice to Parent in accordance with clause (B) above in connection with any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event and comply again with the requirements of clauses (C) and (D) above.

(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from (i) disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder or (iii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors of the Company to make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law; provided, however, that in any event the Board of Directors of the Company shall not effect a Change of Recommendation except in accordance with Section 5.3(f). Any public disclosure (other than any “stop, look and listen” statement) by the Company or its Board of Directors or any committee thereof relating to any determination or other action by the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof with respect to any Alternative Proposal shall be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation unless the Board of Directors of the Company expressly publicly reaffirms its Recommendation in such disclosure.

(m) As used in this Agreement, “Alternative Proposal” shall mean any bona fide proposal or offer made by any Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates) for (i) a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or similar transaction involving the Company which would result in any Person beneficially owning more than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding equity interests of the Company or any successor or parent company thereto, (ii) the acquisition by any Person (including by any asset acquisition, joint venture or similar transaction) of assets (including equity securities of any Subsidiary of the Company)

(n) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean a bona fide written Alternative Proposal, substituting “fifty percent (50%)” for each reference to “twenty percent (20%)” in the definition of Alternative Proposal, made by any Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates), which did not result from or arise in connection with any material breach of Section 5.3(c), that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and taking into account all of the terms and conditions the Company’s Board of Directors considers to be appropriate (after taking into account any revisions to the terms and conditions to this Agreement made or proposed and committed to in writing by Parent in response to such Superior Proposal), (i) to be more favorable to the Company and its stockholders than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) if such Alternative Proposal is from a financial sponsor or group of financial sponsors, a Person or group that includes one or more financial sponsors, a Person or group that proposes to obtain a material portion of its financing from one or more financial sponsors or a portfolio company of one or more financial sponsors, that the financing is fully committed.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers, as the case may be, of the Company or its Subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents or in any indemnification agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Company’s and any Company Subsidiary’s certificates of incorporation and bylaws or similar organizational documents as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time or in any indemnification agreements of the Company or its Subsidiaries with any of their respective directors or officers as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the Effective Time were current or former directors or officers of the

-52-

Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 5.9.

(b) The Surviving Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL, indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing, subject to the undertaking described below) each current and former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and each Person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise at the Company’s request (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”) against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL following receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such Person was not entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.9), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, charge, action, suit, litigation, proceeding, audit or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an “Action”), arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission occurring or alleged to have occurred whether before or after the Effective Time (including acts or omissions in connection with such Persons serving as an officer, director or other fiduciary in any entity if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company). In the event of any such Action, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Action.

(c) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that after the Effective Time, Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 350% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverage required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. At the Company’s option, the Company may purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a six (6)-year prepaid “tail” policy on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time, covering without limitation the transactions contemplated hereby. If such tail prepaid policy has been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for insurance hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall not spend more than 350% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof (the “Base Amount”) in respect of such “tail” policy, and if the cost of such policy would otherwise exceed the Base Amount, the Company shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for the Base Amount.

-53-

(d) Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.9 (subject to the undertaking described in Section 5.9(b)).

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Party may have under the certificates of incorporation or bylaws or other organization documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification arrangement, the DGCL or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 5.9 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties.

(f) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

Section 5.10 Control of Operations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its operations.

Section 5.11 Financing.

(a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the proceeds of the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letters, including (i) maintaining in effect the Commitment Letters in accordance with their terms, (ii) negotiating definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (the “Definitive Agreements”) consistent with the terms and conditions contained therein (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in any related Fee Letter) and (iii) satisfying (or obtaining the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions in the Commitment Letters and the Definitive Agreements and complying in all material respects with its obligations thereunder. In the event that all conditions contained in the Commitment Letters (other than, with respect to the Debt Financing, the availability of the Cash Equity) have been satisfied and Parent is required to consummate the Closing pursuant to Section 1.2, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each Lender and shall cause each Guarantor to fund its respective committed portion of the Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses on the Closing Date (including by promptly commencing a litigation proceeding against any breaching Lender or Guarantor to compel such breaching Lender or Guarantor to provide its respective committed portion of the Financing, provided that Parent shall control all aspects of such proceeding, including litigation strategy and selection of counsel). Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, permit any amendment or modification to,

-54-

or any waiver of any material provision or remedy under, or voluntarily replace (it being understood that any Alternative Debt Financing shall not be deemed a voluntary replacement for purposes of the sentence), any Commitment Letters or Fee Letters if such amendment, modification, waiver or remedy or voluntary replacement (w) adds new (or adversely modifies any existing) conditions to the consummation of the Financing as compared to those in the Commitment Letters and Fee Letters as in effect on the date of this Agreement, (x) adversely affects the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against other parties to the Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, relative to the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against such other parties to the Commitment Letters as in effect on the date hereof or in the Definitive Agreements, (y) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing, or (z) would or would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement when required pursuant to Section 1.2; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt no consent from the Company shall be required for: (A) any amendment, replacement, supplement or modification of the Debt Commitment Letters that is limited to adding lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letters as of the date of this Agreement (including in replacement of a Lender) or (B) implementation or exercise of any “flex” provisions provided in the Fee Letters as in effect as of the date hereof. In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor (other (i) than a breach by the Company of this Agreement which prevents or renders impracticable the consummation of the Financing or (2) the termination of one, but only one, of the Debt Commitment Letters on or prior to June 5, 2013 pursuant to the terms of thereof) Parent will (1) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative debt financing (the “Alternative Debt Financing”) (in an amount sufficient, when taken together with Cash Equity, the Funding Amount, and any then-available Debt Financing pursuant to any then-existing Debt Commitment Letters, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses earned, due and payable as of the Closing Date) on substantially equivalent or more favorable terms in the aggregate from the same or other sources and which do not include any incremental conditionality to the consummation of such alternative debt financing that are more onerous to Parent (in the aggregate) than the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters in effect as of the date of this Agreement and (2) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor; provided that in no event shall the reasonable best efforts of Parent required by clause (1) above be deemed or construed to require Parent to (A) seek the Cash Equity from any source other than those counterparty to the Equity Commitment Letters, or in any amount with respect to a Guarantor in excess of such Guarantors’ Commitment, (B) pay any fees in excess of those contemplated by the Financing Commitments, or (C) agree to conditionality or economic terms of the Alternative Debt Financing that are less favorable in the aggregate than those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters or any related Fee Letter (including any flex provisions therein). In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that (A) any portion of the Debt Financing structured as high yield financing is unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor, (B) all closing conditions contained in Section 6.1 and Section 6.3 shall be satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing, provided that such conditions are capable of being satisfied as of such day assuming the Closing was to occur on such day) and (C) the bridge facilities contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters (or alternative bridge facilities obtained in accordance with this Section 5.11(a)) are available on

-55-

the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letters (or replacements thereof), then each of Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the proceeds of such bridge financing to be used in lieu of such affected portion of the high yield financing to consummate the Closing when Parent is required to do so pursuant to Section 1.2. For the purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term “Debt Commitment Letters” shall be deemed to include any commitment letter (or similar agreement) with respect to any alternative debt financing arranged in compliance herewith (and any Debt Commitment Letters remaining in effect at the time in question), (ii) the term “Fee Letter” shall be deemed to include any fee letter (or similar agreement) with respect to any alternative debt financing arranged in compliance with this Section 5.11(a), and (iii) the term “Lenders” shall be deemed to include any lenders providing the alternative debt financing arranged in compliance herewith. Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to consummate the Financing. Parent shall select, or cause to be selected, by written notice to the Lead Arrangers, (and promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Company) on or prior to June 5, 2013 which of either the US/Foreign Commitments or the US Alternative Commitments shall be used to fund the Senior Facilities (capitalized terms used in this sentence, but not defined herein, as defined in the Debt Commitment Letters). Parent shall provide the Company with prompt oral and written notice of any material breach or default by any party to any Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements of which Parent gains Knowledge and the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Lender, Guarantor, or other financing source with respect to any material breach or default or, termination or repudiation by any party to any Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements or any provision thereof.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees, consultants, legal representatives, agents, advisors, auditors, investment bankers, Affiliates and other representatives (“Representatives”), in each case, with appropriate seniority and expertise, including its or their accounting firms, to provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (provided that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company), including by: (i) participating in a reasonable number of meetings (including customary one-on-one meetings with Lenders and potential financing sources and senior management and other Representatives of the Company), conference calls, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies at mutually agreeable times and upon reasonable notice; (ii) cooperating with the marketing and due diligence efforts of Parent and its Lenders, including reasonably assisting with the preparation of rating agency presentations, pro forma financial statements, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, offering documents, lender presentations, similar documents and other customary marketing materials (including delivering customary representation letters, authorization letters, confirmations and undertakings as contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters (including with respect to the presence or absence of material non-public information and the accuracy of the information contained in the disclosure and marketing materials related to the Debt Financing)); provided that, any rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda or similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing shall contain disclosure reflecting the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as the obligor (effective at and after the Effective Time); (iii) furnishing Parent and the Lenders as promptly as reasonably practicable following the delivery of a request therefor to the Company by Parent (which notice shall state with specificity the information requested) such

The form and substance of the Supplemental Indentures shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Company.

(c) The Company shall waive any of the conditions to any Debt Tender Offer as may be reasonably requested by Parent (other than the conditions that any Debt Tender Offer is conditioned on the Effective Time occurring as provided in Section 5.17(a)), so long as such waivers would not cause any Debt Tender Offer to violate the Exchange Act, the TIA, or any other applicable Law, and shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, waive any condition to any Debt Tender Offer or make any change, amendment or modification to the terms and conditions of any Debt Tender Offer (including any extension thereof) other than as agreed between Parent and the Company or as required in the reasonable judgment of the Company to comply with applicable Law.

-62-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company or Parent 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; provided, further, that Section 7.3, Section 8.6, Section 8.10 and this Section 8.11 (and the related definitions in this Agreement used therein) shall not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived in a manner that is adverse in any material respect to any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lenders.

Section 8.12 Headings. Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of the parties only and shall be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever.
