RECITALS

WHEREAS, Parent and Purchaser have commenced a tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (together with the related Rights, the “Shares”), at a price per Share of $30.60 (the “Offer”), which will be terminated promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board of Directors”) has (i) determined that the merger of Purchaser with and into the Company with the Company as the Surviving Corporation (the “Merger,” and together with the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the “Transactions”), in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), whereby each issued and outstanding Share not wholly owned directly or indirectly by Parent, Purchaser or the Company (other than Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive $32.00 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), and the Transactions, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger, and (iii) recommended that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement (the “Company Board Recommendation”);

WHEREAS, the boards of directors of Parent and Purchaser have, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Transactions; and

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

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

Article I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, the Company and Purchaser shall consummate the Merger pursuant to which (i) Purchaser shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Purchaser shall thereupon cease, (ii) the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger and shall continue to be governed by the DGCL, and (iii) the separate corporate existence of the Company with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger. The corporation surviving the Merger is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.” The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the DGCL.

(b) At the Effective Time, the Company Certificate shall, by virtue of the Merger, be amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth in Annex A to this Agreement (which shall contain indemnification, contribution and exculpation provisions identical to those set forth in the Company Certificate in effect as of the date hereof) and, as so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law, subject to the terms of this Agreement. At the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, by virtue of the Merger, be amended and restated in their entirety to read as set forth in Annex B to this Agreement (which shall contain indemnification, contribution and exculpation provisions identical to those set forth in the Company’s bylaws in effect as of the date hereof) and, as so amended and restated, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on a date to be specified by the parties, such date to be no later than the second (2nd) business day after satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Debevoise & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, unless another date or place is agreed to in writing by the Company and Purchaser.

Section 1.3 Effective Time. Parent, Purchaser and the Company shall cause an appropriate certificate of merger or other appropriate documents (in any such

case, the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed and filed on the Closing Date (or on such other date as Parent and the Company may agree) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time such Certificate of Merger shall have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such other date and time as is agreed upon by the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger, such date and time hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time.” From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Purchaser, and all of the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Company and Purchaser shall become the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.4 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. The directors of Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be appointed as the directors of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, from and after the Effective Time, shall continue as the officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors shall have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

Section 1.5 Subsequent Actions. If at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall determine, in its sole discretion, or shall be advised, that any deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Purchaser acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Purchaser, all such deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each of such corporations or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

Section 1.6 Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) As promptly as practicable (and in any event within 15 business days) after the date hereof, the Company shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a proxy for the Special Meeting (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto and any other required proxy materials, the

“Proxy Statement”) relating to the Merger and this Agreement; provided, that, except for such portions as may relate to a Competing Proposal, Parent, Purchaser and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto before it is filed with the SEC and the Company shall consider in good faith all reasonable changes suggested by Parent in connection therewith. Unless there is a Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 5.2(c), the Company shall include in the Proxy Statement the recommendation of the Company Board of Directors that the stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and furnish the information required to be included by the SEC in the Proxy Statement and, after consultation with Purchaser, respond promptly to any comments made by the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement. Except for such portions as may relate to a Competing Proposal, the Company shall provide Parent, Purchaser and their counsel with copies of any written comments, and shall inform them of any oral comments, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement promptly after the Company’s receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. Except for such portions as may relate to a Competing Proposal, Parent, Purchaser and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review any such written responses and the Company shall consider in good faith all reasonable changes suggested by Parent in connection therewith. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Purchaser, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws, and the Company further agrees to cause the Proxy Statement, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and, if any such correction is made following the mailing of the Proxy Statement as provided in Section 1.9(b)(ii), mailed to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or the SEC (or its staff). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable.

(b) The Company, acting through the Company Board of Directors, shall, in accordance with and subject to the requirements of applicable Law and this Agreement (including Section 5.2 and Section 8.1):

(i) (A) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, duly set a record date for, and take all action necessary in accordance with the DGCL and the Company Governing Documents to duly call and give notice of a special meeting of its stockholders (such meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Special Meeting”) for the purpose of considering and taking action upon this Agreement (with the record date and meeting date set in consultation with Purchaser), with such record date to be selected with the

consent of Parent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and (B) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, convene and hold the Special Meeting, with the date of the Special Meeting to be no more than 30 days after the dissemination of the Proxy Statement to the Company’s stockholders and selected with the consent of Parent, not to be unreasonably withheld;

(ii) as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five business days) following the Proxy Statement Clearance Date, file the definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC and cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders; and

(iii) unless there is a Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 5.2(c) of this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to (A) solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and (B) secure any approval of stockholders of the Company that is required by the DGCL and any other applicable Law to effect the Merger.

(c) At the Special Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof, Parent shall vote, or cause to be voted, all of the Shares then owned by it, Purchaser or any of their other Subsidiaries in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and to deliver or provide, in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company, any other approvals that are required by the DGCL and any other applicable Law to effect the Merger.

(d) Subject to applicable Law and the following proviso, the Company shall not adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting without Parent’s consent (which may be withheld in its sole discretion); provided that without Parent’s consent, the Company may, and Parent may require the Company to, adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting up to two (2) times (for a period of not more than 15 calendar days in the aggregate), unless prior to such adjournment the Company shall have received proxies in respect of an aggregate number of Shares voting for the adoption of this Agreement, which have not been withdrawn, such that the Requisite Stockholder Approval will be obtained at such meeting. Once the Company has established a record date for the Special Meeting, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Special Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent (including, in the event that the Special Meeting is adjourned or postponed in accordance with this Section 1.6), unless required to do so by applicable Law.

Article II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

Section 2.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any securities of the Company or common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Purchaser (the “Purchaser Common Stock”):

(a) Purchaser Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Purchaser Common Stock shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and, except as set forth in Section 2.1(b) below, shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing Purchaser Common Stock 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.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. All Shares owned by the Company, Parent or Purchaser (but not any Shares owned by any of their respective wholly owned Subsidiaries (for the absence of doubt, other than Purchaser itself or the Company itself), which Shares, if any, shall be converted into such number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation so as to maintain relative ownership percentages), other than any such Shares held in a fiduciary capacity, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Common Stock. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and other than Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable to the holder thereof. From and after the Effective Time, all such Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Share shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Share in accordance with Section 2.2, without interest thereon.

(d) Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time. No adjustment shall be made to the Merger Consideration for any cash dividends that the Company is permitted to declare and pay

pursuant to this Agreement or in the event that the Rights Agreement is terminated or the Rights are redeemed.

Section 2.2 Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent or Purchaser shall designate a reputable bank or trust company, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as the payment agent in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”). Prior to, at or promptly after the Effective Time, Parent or Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent the aggregate Merger Consideration with respect to Shares converted into Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c) (the “Exchange Fund”). In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.1(c), Parent shall, or shall cause Purchaser to, promptly deposit additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Certificates or Book Entry Shares pursuant to this Article II. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation on the earlier of one year after the Effective Time or full payment of the Exchange Fund.

(b) Procedures for Surrender. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) business days), Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the Paying Agent to mail (and make available for collection by hand) to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares (the “Certificates”) or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) and whose Shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying

Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, together with such 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 applicable Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, to be mailed within five (5) business days following the later to occur of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the Paying Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by this Section 2.2, without interest thereon.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund; No Liability. At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) remaining in the Exchange Fund that have not been disbursed, or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Paying Agent’s routine administrative procedures, to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation and

Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(b), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Paying Agent, by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 2.3 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Shares (“Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Appraisal Rights”) shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the Appraisal Rights (it being understood that at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the appraised value of such Dissenting Shares to the extent afforded by the Appraisal Rights); provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares under the Appraisal Rights, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, the Merger Consideration.

(b) The Company shall give prompt notice to Purchaser of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any Shares, of any withdrawals of such demands and of any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to Appraisal Rights, and Purchaser shall have the right to participate in and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.4 Treatment of Company Options and Restricted Shares.

(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each outstanding, unvested and unexercised option to purchase Shares (the “Company Options”) under any stock option plan of the Company, or any other plan, agreement or arrangement of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, including any foreign equity plan, agreement or arrangement (collectively, the “Company Equity Plan”), shall become immediately vested and exercisable in full, and (ii) with respect to any Company Options that remain outstanding and are unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, all such Company Options shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Option and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash of an amount equal to the product of (A) the total number of Shares previously subject to such Company Option and (B) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share previously subject to such Company Option (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Option Consideration”). The Option Consideration shall be paid by the Company as soon as practicable (but in no event later than three (3) business days) following the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Company Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof for Shares, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Option Consideration.

(b) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each outstanding share of restricted stock, phantom share, restricted unit, performance stock unit and restricted stock unit (for the avoidance of doubt, other than any “cash settled fixed-value restricted unit”) (each, a “Restricted Share”) under the Company Equity Plan shall become immediately vested in full and all restrictions thereupon shall lapse, (ii) each vested Restricted Share shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each Share underlying the cancelled vested Restricted Share as soon as practicable (but in no event later than three (3) business days) following the Effective Time and (iii) all dividend equivalents with respect to such Restricted Shares, to the extent not yet paid, shall be paid in full as soon as practicable (but in no event later than three (3) business days) following the Effective Time.

(c) The Company shall pass resolutions providing for the treatment of the Company Options and Restricted Shares (collectively, the “Company Equity Awards”) as contemplated by this Section 2.4 to the effect that (i) all awards issued under the Company Equity Plan shall be settled as of the Effective Time as contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) 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, Parent, or to receive any payment

or benefit with respect to any award previously granted under the Company Equity Plan, except as provided in this Section 2.4.

Section 2.5 Additional Benefits Matters. All amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be paid without interest (unless otherwise noted).

Section 2.6 Withholding. Any payments made pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares, Company Stock Options or Restricted Shares shall be net of all applicable withholding Taxes that Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be required to deduct and withhold from such payments under the Code, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any provision of applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares, Company Stock Options or Restricted Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

Section 4.5 Information in the Proxy Statement. None of the information supplied in writing by Parent or Purchaser expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) will, at the date mailed to the Company’s stockholders or at the time of the meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held in connection with the Merger, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, and except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.2, the Company agrees that it shall not (and shall not permit any Company Subsidiary to), and that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage the submission or announcement of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, a Competing Proposal, (ii) enter into, maintain, participate in or continue any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any nonpublic information with respect to, any proposal or offer that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, a Competing Proposal, (iii) engage in discussions with any person with respect to any Competing Proposal (other than to clarify the terms of the Competing Proposal), (iv) agree to, approve, endorse or recommend any Competing Proposal (or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing items in this clause (iv)), (v) withdraw, change, amend, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser, the Company Board Recommendation (or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing items in this clause (v)), or otherwise make any public statement inconsistent with the Company Board Recommendation, (vi) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any agreement or commitment providing for any Competing Proposal, or (vii) resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing (any act pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) above, or any resolution or agreement to take any such act, a “Change of Recommendation”). Subject to Section 5.2(b), the Company shall not release any third party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party. The Company shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any parties that may have been conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Proposal, (ii) with respect to third parties with whom discussions or negotiations have been terminated on or prior to the date of this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the return or the destruction of, in

accordance with the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement, confidential information previously furnished by the Company, its Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives and (iii) cause any physical or virtual data room to no longer be accessible to or by any person other than Parent and its Affiliates.

(b) The Company shall promptly notify Parent orally (and then in writing within 24 hours) after it or any of its Subsidiaries has received any proposal, inquiry, offer or request relating to or constituting a Competing Proposal, any request for discussions or negotiations, or any request for information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with a Competing Proposal or a potential Competing Proposal or for access to the properties or books and records in connection therewith which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives is or become aware, or any material amendments to the foregoing. Such notice to Parent shall indicate the identity of the person making such proposal and the terms and conditions of such proposal, if any. The Company shall also promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) provide Parent with (i) a copy of any written notice or other written communication from any person informing the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives that it is considering making, or has made a proposal regarding, a Competing Proposal, (ii) a copy of any Competing Proposal (or any amendment thereof) received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (iii) such other details of any such Competing Proposal that Parent may reasonably request. Thereafter, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis of any change to the terms of any such Competing Proposal, and shall provide Parent notice of any meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors at which any Competing Proposal is reasonably likely to be considered at substantially the same time as notice of such meeting is provided to the members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 5.2(a), subject to complying with this Section 5.2(b), if, prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company receives a bona fide Competing Proposal which (i) constitutes a Superior Proposal or (ii) the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors could reasonably be expected to result, after the taking of any of the actions referred to in clauses (x) and/or (y) below, in a Superior Proposal, the Company may take the following actions: (x) furnish nonpublic information to the third party making such Competing Proposal (and to any persons working in concert with such third party and any of their respective financing sources), if, and only if, prior to so furnishing such information, the Company receives from the third party an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and (y) engage in discussions or negotiations with the third party with respect to the Competing Proposal; provided, however, that (A) the Company may not take such actions described in clauses (x) and (y) above until at least 24 hours after having provided to Parent notice of its intention to do so and (B) subject to applicable Regulatory Law, the Company shall furnish to Parent, substantially contemporaneously with furnishing any non-public information to such Person, such non-public information to Parent to the extent such information has not been

previously furnished by the Company to Parent. The Company shall provide Parent with a correct and complete copy of any confidentiality agreement entered into pursuant to this paragraph within 24 hours of the execution thereof. None of the actions permitted or contemplated by this Section 5.2(b) shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a Change of Recommendation.

(c) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 5.2(a) and prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company Board of Directors may, subject to first complying with Section 5.2(d), effect a Change of Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event or the receipt of a bona fide Competing Proposal that has not been withdrawn if the Company Board of Directors has concluded in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors that (x) in the case of a Competing Proposal, such Competing Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (y) in the case of a Competing Proposal or an Intervening Event, the failure of the Company Board of Directors to effect a Change of Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the exercise of the fiduciary duties of the Company Board of Directors to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law.

(d) Neither the Company nor the Company Board of Directors shall effect a Change of Recommendation unless (i) the Company shall have given Parent and Purchaser written notice (a “Notice of Superior Proposal or Intervening Event”) advising them of the intention of the Company Board of Directors to take such action, describing in detail the Intervening Event or Superior Proposal that serves as the basis of such action five (5) business days prior to taking such action (and, in the case of a Superior Proposal, attaching a copy of the final form of any related agreements), and (ii) (A) for a period of five (5) business days after delivery of the Notice of Superior Proposal or Intervening Event (the “Match Period”), the Company shall have, to the extent requested by Parent, negotiated with Parent with respect to revisions to the terms of this Agreement and/or the Transactions (and/or other proposals made by Parent) and (B) at the end of such period, the Company Board of Directors shall have determined (in compliance with this Section 5.2), after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors, after giving effect to any proposals, amendments or modifications offered by Parent and Purchaser, (x) that such Competing Proposal nevertheless remains a Superior Proposal or (y) to effect a Change of Recommendation in connection with such Intervening Event. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each successive material amendment or material revision to any Superior Proposal shall constitute a new Superior Proposal, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement, including with respect to necessitating the delivery of a new Notice of Superior Proposal, new Match Period (except that the duration of any Match Period resulting from any such amendment or revision shall be two (2) business days or, if longer, the unexpired portion of any prior Match Period) and new determinations by the Company Board of Directors as set forth herein. The Company shall keep confidential any proposals made by Parent to revise the terms of this Agreement, other than in the event of any amendment to this Agreement or unless required to be disclosed

in any filings with, or Laws of, the SEC or pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company or the Company’s Board of Directors from taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders); provided that any such disclosure that constitutes a Change of Recommendation shall not be made until the Company has complied with Section 5.2(d). For purposes of clarification, a “stop, look and listen” communication shall not in and of itself constitute a Change of Recommendation.

(f) No Change of Recommendation shall change the approval of the Company Board of Directors for purposes of (x) Section 251(b) of the DGCL or (y) any state takeover Law (including the Interested Stockholder Statute) or other state Law or the Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding any Change in Recommendation, the Company shall (i) submit this Agreement and the Merger to the stockholders of the Company for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval at the Special Meeting and (ii) not submit any Competing Proposal for approval by the stockholders of the Company.

(g) Without limiting the generality of anything in this Section 5.2, any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.3 by any directors or officers of the Company shall be deemed to be a breach by the Company of this Section 5.2.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not be required to provide access to, or to disclose information, where such access or disclosure would (a) jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the Company or (b) contravene any applicable Law or contractual restriction; provided that the Company shall have used reasonable best efforts to make such disclosure in a form or manner that would not jeopardize such privilege or violate such Law or contractual restriction (including by redacting or otherwise not disclosing any portion thereof the disclosure of which would jeopardize such privilege or entering into a joint defense agreement).

Section 6.3 Consents and Approvals.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best 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 parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and regulations or otherwise to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other Transactions by the Outside Date, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, licenses, permits, orders, clearances, waivers, authorizations, expirations or terminations of waiting periods, clearances, consents and approvals from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid any action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entity, including without limitation in connection with any Regulatory Law (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Governmental Consents”), (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, (iii) the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the Merger, the Transactions or the consummation thereof, and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and the Transactions.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided and without limiting the foregoing, the Company and Parent shall (i) promptly, and in any event no later than seven (7) business days after the date hereof, make any required filings of Notification and Report Forms pursuant to the HSR Act, (ii) as promptly as practicable make appropriate filings with the Mexican Federal Competition Commission pursuant to Mexico’s Federal Law on Economic Competition and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with each other in (x) determining whether any filings are required to be made with, or Governmental Consents are required to be obtained from, any other Governmental Entities (including any foreign jurisdiction in which the Company or its

Subsidiaries are operating any business) or third parties in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, (y) to the extent not made prior to the date hereof, timely making or causing to be made all such applications and filings and seeking all such actions, waivers, authorizations, expirations or terminations of waiting periods, clearances, consents and approvals. Each party shall supply as promptly as practicable such information, documentation, other material or testimony that may be requested by any Governmental Entity, including by complying at the earliest reasonably practicable date with any request under or with respect to the HSR Act, Mexico’s Federal Law on Economic Competition, any other Governmental Consent and any such other applicable Laws for additional information, documents or other materials received by Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries from the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity in connection with such applications or filings or the Transactions. Within five (5) business days after the date hereof, to the extent legally permitted, each of the Company and Parent shall provide to counsel for the other party all filings and written submissions, including attachments thereto, made by the Company to any Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions, provided that each party shall be entitled to redact competitively sensitive information and any information relating to Company valuation and similar matters relating to the Transactions.

(c) Without limiting any of its other obligations hereunder, Parent and Purchaser shall take all such further action as may be necessary to resolve such objections, if any, as the United States Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, state antitrust enforcement authorities or competition authorities of any other nation or other jurisdiction (including multinational or supernational), or any other person, may assert under Regulatory Law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby in order to assure satisfaction of the conditions to the Transactions, and to avoid or eliminate, and minimize the impact of, each and every impediment under any Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger, in each case so as to enable the Merger and the Transactions to occur no later than the Outside Date (any such action, a “Settlement Action”), including, without limitation by proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by agreement, consent decree, hold separate order, trust or otherwise, (x) the sale, divestiture or disposition of such assets, businesses, services, products or product lines of Parent or the Company (or any of their respective Subsidiaries or affiliates) or behavioral limitations, conduct restrictions or commitments with respect to any such assets, businesses, services, products or product lines of Parent or the Company (or any of their respective Subsidiaries or affiliates), (y) the creation or termination of relationships, ventures, contractual rights or obligations of the Company or Parent or their respective Subsidiaries or affiliates and (z) any other actions that after the Closing would limit the freedom of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of its or its Subsidiaries’ (including the Company’s or the Surviving Corporation’s) or affiliates’ assets,

businesses, services, products or product lines, in each case as may be required under or in connection with Regulatory Laws in order to obtain all required Governmental Consents (including expirations or terminations of waiting periods whether imposed by Law or agreement) and to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of preventing the consummation of the Merger by the Outside Date; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Parent nor Purchaser shall be required to take, or cause to be taken, any Settlement Action that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (ii) Parent and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, but deemed for this purpose to be the same size as the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) the Company, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, but deemed for this purpose to be the same size as the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (any of the foregoing, a “Regulatory Material Adverse Effect”). The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, without Parent’s prior written consent discuss or commit to any extension of any waiting period under any Law or to any agreement not to consummate the Merger. If requested by Parent, the Company shall take any action or make any agreement required by any Governmental Entity under any Regulatory Law; provided that any such action or agreement is conditioned on the consummation of the Merger. The Company shall not take any action or make any agreement required by any Governmental Entity under any Regulatory Law without the written consent of Parent, in its sole discretion.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing and subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental Entity, each of the Company and Parent agrees (i) to cooperate and consult with each other, (ii) to furnish to the other such necessary information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any notifications or filings, (iii) to keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated thereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by such party from, or given by such party to, any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions and (iv) to permit the other party to review and incorporate the other party’s reasonable comments in any communication to be given by it to any Governmental Entity with respect to obtaining the necessary approvals for the Transactions and (v) not to participate in any meeting or discussion in person or by telephone expected to address matters related to the transactions contemplated hereby with any Governmental Entity in connection with any of the Transactions unless, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, it gives the other party reasonable notice thereof and the opportunity to attend and observe. The parties shall take reasonable efforts to share information protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this Section in a manner so as to preserve any applicable privilege. Parent and the Company may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably

designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 6.3(d) as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Parent or the Company, as the case may be) or its legal counsel.

(e) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 6.3, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a Governmental Entity or any other person is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any of the Transactions as violative of any Law, each of the Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to direct the defense of the Transaction in any investigation or litigation by, or negotiations with, any Governmental Entity or other Person relating to the Merger or regulatory filings under applicable Regulatory Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Parent from (if it so chooses) opposing by refusing to consent to, through litigation or otherwise, any request, attempt or demand by any Governmental Entity or other person for any divestiture, hold separate condition or any other restriction with respect to any assets, businesses or product lines of either Parent or the Company, in each case, to the extent doing so would not and would not reasonably be expected to prevent the Closing from occurring by the Outside Date.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Regulatory Law” means the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as amended, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as amended, the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and all other federal, state or foreign statutes, rules, regulations, orders, decrees, administrative and judicial doctrines and other Laws, including without limitation any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Laws, that are designed or intended to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening competition through merger or acquisition.

(f) Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into or agree to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for the acquisition of any business or person that is reasonably likely to prevent, impair or delay the receipt of any approval or waiver required under any Regulatory Law or its ability to obtain the Financing.

(g) Without limiting any of its other obligations hereunder, Parent shall take all actions necessary to obtain the Financing or any alternative financing sought in connection with the Transactions in order to permit Purchaser and Parent to consummate the Transactions at the time and in accordance with the provisions of this

Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall assure that all funds necessary to permit Purchaser to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions are available to Purchaser on a timely basis and hereby unconditionally guarantees the performance by Purchaser of all of its obligations hereunder.

(h) The Company and Parent shall give (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to give) any notices to third parties, and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) reasonable best efforts to obtain any third-party consents necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions.

(i) Parent shall vote (or act by written consent if applicable with respect to) all of the shares of capital stock of Purchaser beneficially owned by it in favor of the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with applicable Law.

Section 6.4 Publicity. So long as this Agreement is in effect, neither the Company nor Parent, nor any of their respective affiliates, shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other announcement with respect to the Merger or this Agreement without the prior consent of the other party, unless such party determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that it is required by applicable Law or by any listing agreement with or the listing rules of a national securities exchange or trading market to issue or cause the publication of any press release or other announcement with respect to the Merger or this Agreement, in which event such party shall endeavor, on a basis reasonable under the circumstances, to provide a meaningful opportunity to the other party to review and comment upon such press release or other announcement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide any such review or comment to Parent in connection with the receipt and existence of a bona fide Competing Proposal and matters related thereto or a Change of Recommendation; provided, further, each party hereto and their respective controlled affiliates may make statements that are not inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by Parent and the Company in compliance with this Section 6.4.

Section 6.5 Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance and Indemnification.

(a) Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the fullest extent permissible under applicable Law, under the Company Governing Documents or any comparable governing instruments of any Company Subsidiary in effect on the date hereof and under any indemnification or other similar agreements in effect on the date hereof (the “Indemnification Agreements”) to the individuals covered by such Company Governing Documents or any comparable governing instruments of any Company Subsidiary or Indemnification Agreements arising out of or relating to actions or omissions in their capacity as such occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the Transactions.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.5(a), for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each current and former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (including any individual who shall become a director, officer or employee on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time) in such capacity, and also with respect to any such person, in their capacity as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, foundation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (whether or not such other entity or enterprise is affiliated with the Company) serving at the request of or on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, a “Covered Person”) 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 claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arises out of or pertains to: (A) any action or omission or alleged action or omission at or prior to the Effective Time, or (B) this Agreement or any of the Transactions; and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any Covered Person upon receipt, to the extent required by the DGCL, of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified; provided that the obligations in this sentence shall only apply with respect to any Covered Person to the extent that such Covered Persons is and is permitted to be indemnified by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation of a Covered Person for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6.5(b) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of such Covered Person from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(c) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of Covered Persons for periods prior to and including the Effective Time than are currently set forth in the Company Governing Documents. The Indemnification Agreements with Covered Persons shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(d) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability

insurance maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to claims arising from or related to facts or events which occurred or failed to occur (or which are alleged to have occurred or failed to occur) at or before the Effective Time covering all individuals currently covered thereby; provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to make annual premium payments for such insurance to the extent such premiums exceed 300% of the annual premiums paid by the Company in the prior fiscal year for such insurance (such 300% amount, the “Base Premium”); provided, further, if such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at all, or can only be obtained at an annual premium in excess of the Base Premium, Parent shall maintain the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance covering all individuals currently covered thereby obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Base Premium; provided, further, if the Company in its sole discretion elects, then, in lieu of the foregoing insurance, the Company may purchase at any time prior to the Effective Time a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance “tail” or “runoff” insurance program for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time with respect to wrongful acts and/or omissions committed or allegedly committed at or prior to the Effective Time (such coverage shall cover all individuals currently covered thereby and shall have an aggregate coverage limit over the term of such policy in an amount equal to the annual aggregate coverage limit under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability policy, and in all other respects shall be comparable to such existing coverage); provided that the cost of such “tail” or “runoff” insurance program does not exceed six times the Base Premium.

(e) In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume all of the applicable obligations set forth in this Section 6.5.

(f) The Covered Persons are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.5 and may directly enforce the provisions hereof, and this Section 6.5 shall not be amended in a manner that is adverse to the Covered Persons (including their successors and heirs) or terminated without the consent of the Covered Persons (including their successors and heirs) affected thereby. For purposes of this Section 6.5, except the proviso in the first sentence of Section 6.5(b), Company Subsidiaries or any Subsidiary of the Company shall include current and former Subsidiaries of the Company.

Section 6.6 State Takeover Laws. If any “control share acquisition,” “fair price” or other anti-takeover laws or regulations enacted under state or federal Laws becomes or is deemed to become applicable to the Company, the Merger or any other

Transaction, then the Company Board of Directors shall use its reasonable best efforts to render such statute (or the relevant provisions thereof) inapplicable to the foregoing.

(a) Effective as of the Effective Time and continuing through December 31, 2012, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to each employee of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries who continues to be employed by the Company or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than such employees covered by collective bargaining agreements) (the “Affected Employees”), (i) a base salary or regular hourly wage, whichever is applicable, that is substantially comparable to the base salary or regular hourly wage provided to such Affected Employee by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) employee benefits (other than equity compensation and short-term incentive compensation) that are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to those provided to such Affected Employee (including all dependents) by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that Parent may provide Affected Employees with equity compensation grants in its discretion; and provided, further, that Parent shall have no obligation to cause any Affected Employee who is not actively accruing benefits under a tax-qualified defined benefit plan of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time to actively accrue benefits under a tax-qualified defined benefit of Parent and its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until the date that is 18 months following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in place, in accordance with its terms as of the date of this Agreement the Temple-Inland Enhanced Severance Pay Policy, which is set forth on Schedule 6.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter and any severance policy for hourly or part time employees who are not subject to collective bargaining agreements that is included in an employee handbook or similar document as of the date of this Agreement. For 2011, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall pay bonuses to the Affected Employees at the earlier of (x) the Effective Time or (y) the date on which short term bonuses are ordinarily paid to Affected Employees based on the greater of target level and actual performance in respect of the portion of the 2011 year from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 or, if earlier, the Effective Time. If the Effective Time has not occurred by January 1, 2012, the Company may establish for 2012 annual incentive targets and performance goals that are substantially similar to the annual incentive targets and performance goals under the Company’s 2011 annual incentive compensation plan and the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall pay pro-rata bonuses for 2012 at the target level to Affected Employees at the Effective Time. Parent shall cause the

Affected Employees to participate in short-term annual incentive compensation plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries for 2012 or, if the Effective Time occurs in 2012, for the remainder of 2012, that provide short-term annual incentive compensation opportunities that are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries).

(b) Following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, that periods of employment with the Company (including, without limitation, any current or former affiliate of the Company or any predecessor of the Company) shall be taken into account for purposes of determining, as applicable, the eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual under all employee benefit plans maintained by Parent or an affiliate of Parent for the benefit of the Affected Employees (other than (i) for benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans, (ii) for service under retiree medical plans for any purpose, (iii) as would result in a duplication of benefits and (iv) under newly established plans for which similar situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries do not receive such credit).

(c) Effective as of the Effective Time and thereafter, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) reduce any period of limitation on health benefits coverage of Affected Employees due to pre-existing conditions (or actively at work or similar) under the applicable health benefits plan of Parent or an affiliate of Parent by the number of days of an individual’s “creditable coverage,” to the extent required by Section 701 of ERISA, (ii) waive any and all eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements with respect to such Affected Employees to the extent such eligibility waiting periods or evidence of insurability requirements were waived with respect to the Affected Employees under the Benefits Plans and (iii) credit each Affected Employee with all deductible payments, out-of-pocket or other co-payments paid by such employee under the health benefit plans of the Company or its affiliates prior to the Closing Date during the year in which the Closing occurs for the purpose of determining the extent to which any such employee has satisfied his or her deductible and whether he or she has reached the out-of-pocket maximum under any health benefit plan of Parent or an affiliate of Parent for such year. None of the Transactions shall affect any Affected Employee’s accrual of, or right to take, any accrued but unused personal, sick or vacation policies applicable to such Affected Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) In addition to any obligations imposed by applicable Law upon any successor to the Company, as successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company (or to any Company Subsidiary or division of the Company in which the employee who has entered into a change in control agreement with the Company (each a “Change in Control Agreement” and collectively, the “Change in Control Agreements”)

is employed, including but not limited to, the Company’s building products operations), Parent shall cause Surviving Corporation or the applicable Subsidiary that is a party thereto to assume and agree to perform, the obligations under the Change in Control Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and conditions. Parent shall cause any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company’s building products operations to assume and agree to perform the obligations under the Change in Control Agreements for any employee of such operations who is party to a Change in Control Agreement who becomes employed by such successor. In addition, for the purposes of Section 7.1 of the Change in Control Agreement, the “Board” shall mean the board of directors of Parent or the board of directors of its ultimate successor parent company, or the compensation committee of such board of directors.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Affected Employee any right to continue in the employ or service of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any affiliate of Parent, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any affiliate of Parent, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Affected Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any affiliate of Parent and the Affected Employee. This Section 6.8 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.8, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.8. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary and without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.8 shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any current or former service provider of the Company or its affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

Section 6.9 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall be permitted to take such steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable hereto to cause dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.10 Control of Operations. Without in any way limiting any party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, the parties understand and agree that (i) nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s operations prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) 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 6.11 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation

against the Company and/or its directors or officers relating to the Transactions. The Company agrees that it shall not settle or offer to settle any litigation against the Company or any of its directors or officers by any stockholder of the Company relating to this Agreement, the Merger, any other Transaction or the Offer, without the prior written consent of Parent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

Section 6.12 Financing Cooperation.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, employees and advisors (including legal and accounting) to, provide to Parent all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with obtaining debt financing for the Transactions.

(b) In respect of any indebtedness that Parent advises the Company in writing will be repaid or terminated in connection with the Closing, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to obtain and deliver to Parent at or prior to Closing, customary payoff letters, termination statements, releases and similar evidences of termination, subject to the timely receipt of funds from Parent, reasonably requested by, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, Parent.

Section 6.13 Termination of Offer. On the date hereof, Parent shall take all actions necessary to terminate the Offer.

Section 9.7 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” As used in this Agreement, the term “affiliates” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b 2 of the Exchange Act. All references to this Agreement shall be deemed to include references to the “plan of merger” contained herein (as such term is used in the DGCL). Any table of contents and headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience of reference purposes only and shall not affect or be deemed to affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any term or provision hereof. Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to the Subsidiaries of a Person shall be deemed to include all direct and indirect Subsidiaries of such Person unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

Section 9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed manually or by facsimile by the parties hereto, in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when a counterpart hereof shall have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

Section 9.9 Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter) and the Confidentiality Agreement:

(a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; and

(b) except as provided in Section 6.5, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder (it being agreed that this Section 9.9 shall not limit Section 8.2(a) ); provided that the Financing Sources shall be express third party beneficiaries of Sections 9.11(c) and 9.12.

Section 9.10 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Merger is not affected in any manner adverse to any party.

Section 9.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether at Law, in contract, in tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would result in the application of the Law of any other state.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, or, if (and only if) such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in the Delaware Court of Chancery, or, if (and only if) such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America

sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in the Delaware Court of Chancery, or, if (and only if) such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery, or, if (and only if) such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery, or, if (and only if) such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, (v) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, or, if (and only if) such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Agreement, (vi) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, or, if (and only if) such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (vii) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any claim that this Agreement, or the subject mater hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.4. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, for itself and its property, that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement 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 Commitment Letter or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the Federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof), and makes the agreements, waivers and consents set forth in

Section 9.11(b) mutatis mutandis but with respect to the courts specified in this Section 9.11(c).

Section 9.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH (INCLUDING ANY LITIGATION INVOLVING THE FINANCING SOURCES) OR THE OFFER AND MERGER CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.12.

Section 9.13 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Purchaser may assign, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other party, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to Parent or to a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent that agrees in a manner acceptable to the Company to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as if it were Purchaser as long as any such assignment does not interfere with or delay the consummation of any of the Transactions. Subject to the preceding sentence, but without relieving any party hereto of any obligation hereunder, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.14 Enforcement; Remedies. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek to specifically enforce the terms hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

[Signature Page Follows]

ARTICLE I

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.01. Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as properly may come before such meeting shall be held each year either within or without the State of Delaware on such date and at such place and time as are designated by resolution of the corporation’s board of directors (the “Board”), unless the stockholders have acted by written consent to elect directors as permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time (the “DGCL”).

Section 1.02. Special Meetings. A special meeting of the stockholders for any purpose may be called at any time by the President (or, in the event of his or her absence or disability, by any Vice President) or by the Secretary pursuant to a resolution of the Board, to be held either within or without the State of Delaware on such date and at such time and place as are designated by such officer or in such resolution.

Section 1.03. Participation in Meetings by Remote Communication. The Board, acting in its sole discretion, may establish guidelines and procedures in accordance with applicable provisions of the DGCL and any other applicable law for the participation by stockholders and proxyholders in a meeting of stockholders by means of remote communications, and may determine that any meeting of stockholders will not be held at any place but will be held solely by means of remote communication. Stockholders and proxyholders complying with such procedures and guidelines and otherwise entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be deemed present in person and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication.

Section 1.04. Notice of Meetings; Waiver of Notice.

(a) The Secretary or any Assistant Secretary shall cause notice of each meeting of stockholders to be given in writing in a manner permitted by the DGCL not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting, subject to such exclusions as are then permitted by the DGCL. The notice shall specify (i) the place, if any, date and time of such meeting, (ii) the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, (iii) in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called, and (iv) such other information as may be required by law or as may be deemed appropriate by the President, the Vice President calling the meeting, or the Board. If the stockholder list referred to in Section 1.06 of these bylaws is made accessible on an

electronic network, the notice of meeting must indicate how the stockholder list can be accessed. If the meeting of stockholders is to be held solely by means of electronic communications, the notice of meeting must provide the information required to access such stockholder list during the meeting.

(b) A written waiver of notice of meeting signed by a stockholder or a waiver by electronic transmission by a stockholder, whether given before or after the meeting time stated in such notice, is deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting is a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business at the meeting on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 1.05. Proxies.

(a) Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent to or dissent from corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy.

(b) A stockholder may authorize a valid proxy by executing a written instrument signed by such stockholder, or by causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including but not limited to by facsimile signature, or by transmitting or authorizing an electronic transmission (as defined in Section 8.08 of these bylaws) setting forth an authorization to act as proxy to the person designated as the holder of the proxy, a proxy solicitation firm or a like authorized agent. Proxies by electronic transmission must either set forth, or be submitted with, information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of a writing or transmission created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used if such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction is a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

(c) No proxy may be voted or acted upon after the expiration of three years from the date of such proxy, unless such proxy provides for a longer period. Every proxy is revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder executing it unless the proxy states that it is irrevocable and applicable law makes it irrevocable. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary.

Section 1.06. Voting Lists. The officer of the corporation who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of the stockholders (and before any adjournment thereof for which a new record date has been set), a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. This list shall be open to the examination of

any stockholder prior to and during the meeting for any purpose germane to the meeting as required by the DGCL or other applicable law. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled by this section to examine the list required by this section or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Section 1.07. Quorum. Except as otherwise required by law or by the certificate of incorporation, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting.

Section 1.08. Voting. Every holder of record of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders is entitled to one vote for each share outstanding in his or her name on the books of the corporation (x) at the close of business on the record date for such meeting, or (y) if no record date has been fixed, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. All matters at any meeting at which a quorum is present, including the election of directors, shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter in question, unless otherwise expressly provided by express provision of law or the certificate of incorporation. The stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for the election of directors.

Section 1.09. Adjournment. Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned from time to time, by the chairperson of the meeting or by the vote of a majority of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the place, if any, and date and time thereof (and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting) are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken unless the adjournment is for more than 30 days or a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting after the adjournment, in which case notice of the adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 1.04 of these bylaws shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Section 1.10. Organization; Procedure. The President shall preside over each meeting of stockholders. If the President is absent or disabled, the presiding officer shall be selected by the Board or, failing action by the Board, by a majority of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy. The Secretary, or in the event of his or her absence or disability, an appointee of the presiding officer, shall act as secretary of the meeting. The Board may make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to any such rules and regulations, the presiding officer of any meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe rules, regulations and procedures for such meeting and to take all

such actions as in the judgment of the presiding officer are appropriate for the proper conduct of such meeting.

Section 1.11. Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote of stockholders, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are (i) signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted (but not less than the minimum number of votes otherwise prescribed by law) and (ii) delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in this State, to its principal place of business or to an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded within 60 days of the earliest dated consent so delivered to the corporation.

(b) If a stockholder consent is to be given without a meeting of stockholders, and the Board has not fixed a record date for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to participate in such consent, then: (i) if the DGCL does not require action by the Board prior to the proposed stockholder action, the record date shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation at any of the locations referred to in Section 1.11(a)(ii); and (ii) if the DGCL requires action by the Board prior to the proposed stockholder action, the record date shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action. Every written consent to action without a meeting shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent, and shall be valid if timely delivered to the corporation at any of the locations referred to in Section 1.11(a)(ii).

(c) The Secretary shall give prompt notice of the taking of an action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to the corporation in accordance with the DGCL.

ARTICLE II

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 2.01. General Powers. Except as may otherwise be provided by law or by the certificate of incorporation, the affairs and business of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board. The directors shall act only as a Board, and the individual directors shall have no power as such.

No notice need be given of any adjourned meeting unless (a) the date, time and place of the adjourned meeting are not announced at the time of adjournment, in which case notice conforming to the requirements of Section 2.06 of these bylaws applicable to special meetings shall be given to each director, or (b) the meeting is adjourned for more than 24 hours, in which case the notice referred to in clause (a) shall be given to those directors not present at the announcement of the date, time and place of the adjourned meeting.

Section 2.14. Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.01. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings Other Than Those by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 6.03 and Section 6.11 of this Article VI, the corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the corporation, or is or was a director, officer or employee of the corporation or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the corporation serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of any such subsidiary or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Section 6.02. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 6.03 and Section 6.11 of this Article VI, the corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the corporation, or is or was a director, officer or employee of the corporation or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the corporation serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of any such subsidiary or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees)

actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Section 6.03. Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VI (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer or employee is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 of this Article VI, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders. To the extent, however, that a director, officer or employee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

Section 6.04. Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 6.03 of this Article VI, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, if his action is based on the records or books of account of the corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him by the officers of the corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the corporation or another enterprise. The terms “another enterprise” or “other enterprise” as used in this Article VI shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enter price of which such person is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 6.04 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 6.01 or 6.02 of this Article VI, as the case may be.

Section 6.05. Indemnification by a Court. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 6.03 of this Article VI, and

notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director, officer or employee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 of this Article VI. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director, officer or employee is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Sections 6.01 or 6.02 of this Article VI, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 6.03 of this Article VI nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director, officer or employee seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall be given to the corporation promptly upon the filing of such application.

Section 6.06. Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses incurred in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer or employee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article VI.

Section 6.07. Non-exclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or pursuant to the direction (howsoever embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 of this Article VI shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VI shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Sections 6.01 or 6.02 of this Article VI but whom the corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.

Section 6.08. Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person or on such person’s behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VI.

Section 6.09. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VI, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent

corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees, so that any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director, officer or employee of such constituent corporation or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of such constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of any such subsidiary or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VI with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article VI, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer or employee of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer or employee with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this Article VI.

Section 6.10. Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 6.11. Guaranty Bank. The Bylaw amendments of November 2009 revised the previous sections of this Article VI to exclude references to Guaranty Bank (f/k/a Guaranty Federal Savings Bank) merely to remove references to an entity that, as of December 28, 2007, was no longer a subsidiary of the corporation. Such amendments were not intended to provide indemnification or advancement rights to anyone previously excluded from indemnification by the references to Guaranty Bank that were removed. The indemnification or advancement rights of persons who formerly served as officers, directors, or employees of any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the corporation under this Article VI do not apply to any person who served as an officer, director, or employee of Guaranty Bank or any of its subsidiaries regardless of when a claim or action may be threatened or brought against the person or the occurrence underlying the claim or action occurred.
