EXCHANGE

3.1 Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any securities of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, except as otherwise agreed between the holder of such securities and Parent:

(i) Merger Consideration. Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company (the “Shares” and each a “Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Shares owned directly or indirectly by the Significant Company Stockholder, Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries (each such Share referred to in clause (i), a “Significant Company Stockholder Share” and, collectively, the “Significant Company Stockholder Shares”), (ii) Rollover Shares and (iii) Shares owned by the Company as treasury stock (each such Share referred to in clause (iii), an “Excluded Share” and, collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) and (iv) Shares that are owned by stockholders (“Dissenting Stockholders”) who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, shall be converted into the right to receive $10.00 per Share in cash, without interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all of the Shares (other than the Significant Company Stockholder Shares, Rollover Shares, Excluded Shares and Shares owned by Dissenting Stockholders) shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and (A) each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than the Significant Company Stockholder Shares, Rollover Shares, Excluded Shares and Shares owned by Dissenting Stockholders) and (B) each book-entry account formerly representing any uncertificated Shares (“Uncertificated Shares”) (other than the Significant Company Stockholder Shares, Rollover Shares, Excluded Shares and Shares owned by Dissenting Stockholders) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and the holders thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender thereof in accordance with Section 3.2, and each Certificate and Uncertificated Share formerly representing Shares owned by Dissenting Stockholders shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the payment to which reference is made in Section 3.3.

(ii) Cancellation of Excluded Shares and each Share owned by Dissenting Stockholders. Subject to Section 3.3, each Excluded Share and each Share owned by Dissenting Stockholders outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(iii) Conversion of Significant Company Stockholder Shares and Rollover Shares. Each Significant Company Stockholder Share and each Rollover Share outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holder thereof, shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Surviving Corporation.

4

(b) Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Surviving Corporation.

3.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with a paying agent selected by Parent with the Company’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Shares, an aggregate amount of cash comprising approximately the amounts required to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(a) in respect of Shares (other than Significant Company Stockholder Shares, Rollover Shares, Excluded Shares and Shares owned by Dissenting Stockholders) (such aggregate amount of cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Paying Agent shall invest the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided that (i) such investments shall be an obligation of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations 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 bankers’ acceptances of commercial banks and (ii) no such investment (or losses thereon) shall affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Shares pursuant to Section 3.1(a). To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any other reason below the level required to make prompt cash payment of the Merger Consideration as contemplated hereby, Parent shall promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make all cash payments required pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i). No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to effect the applicable terms of this Agreement.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within two (2) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate representing Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Significant Company Stockholder Shares, Rollover Shares, Excluded Shares and Shares owned by Dissenting Stockholders): (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the conversion of its Shares into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and specifying 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 of the Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)). Upon the surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 3.2(e)) to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such transmittal materials, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in immediately available funds (or, if no wire transfer instructions are provided, a check, and in each case, after giving effect to any required Tax withholding

5

provided in Section 3.2(f)) equal to the cash amount that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(a), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable to holders of Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares represented by a Certificate that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be paid upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued and/or paid to such a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable, in each case, reasonably acceptable to Parent.

(c) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered, at Parent’s option, to Parent or the Surviving Corporation. Any holder of Shares (other than the Significant Company Stockholder Shares, Rollover Shares and Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this ARTICLE III shall thereafter look only to Parent for delivery of any payment of cash (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.2(f)) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, immediately prior to the date any Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, such Merger Consideration shall become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit (in form and substance satisfactory to the Surviving Corporation) of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed to the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Parent as an indemnity against any claims that may be made against it, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the cash that would have been issuable or payable pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE III (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.2(f)) had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

6

(f) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be timely remitted by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice to the Company at least five (5) days prior to making any deduction or withholding pursuant to this Section 3.2(f) (together with the legal basis thereof) and shall cooperate in good faith to obtain any available exemption from, or reduction of, such deduction or withholding.

(g) Uncertificated Shares. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within two (2) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to (i) mail to each registered holder of Uncertificated Shares (other than in respect of the Excluded Shares and Shares owned by Dissenting Stockholders) materials advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the conversion of its Shares into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and (ii) deliver the cash that such holder is entitled to receive in respect of its Shares pursuant to Section 3.1(a) (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.2(f)), without interest thereon.

3.3 Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive cash pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE III unless and until the holder thereof shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to appraisal under the DGCL, and any Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to Shares owned by such Dissenting Stockholder. If, after the Effective Time, any Person who otherwise would be deemed a Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to properly perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent under Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that the Dissenting Stockholder is not entitled to relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to any Shares, such Shares shall thereupon be treated as though such Shares had been converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration without interest and less any required Tax withholding. The Company shall give Parent written notice as promptly as practicable of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands. Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. Any amounts required to be paid in respect of any Shares held by a Dissenting Stockholder shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation.

7

3.4 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that the Company changes the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares, in each case issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a distribution, reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, subdivision, or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to eliminate the effects of such event on the Merger Consideration; provided that nothing in this Section 3.4 shall be construed to permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person to take any action that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

3.5 Treatment of Equity Awards. In each case, except as otherwise agreed between Parent and the holder of a Company Option, Restricted Stock Unit, and/or Performance Restricted Stock Unit, and upon prior written notice to the Special Committee, as applicable, the Company Options, Restricted Stock Units, and Performance Restricted Stock Units will be treated as set forth in this Section 3.5.

(a) Treatment of In-the-Money Company Options. At the Effective Time, with respect to each then outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Shares (other than rights to purchase Shares under the ESPP) granted under a Company Stock Plan (each, a “Company Option”) other than an Underwater Option (each, an “In-the-Money Option”), such In-the-Money Option shall terminate and be automatically cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive, in accordance with this Section 3.5(a), a lump sum cash payment, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, in the amount equal to (x) the number of Shares underlying the In-the-Money Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price of such In-the-Money Option (the product of (x) and (y), the “Option Payment”). From and after the Effective Time, each In-the-Money Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the amount described in this Section 3.5(a). Parent shall, or, if applicable, shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, pay the Option Payment (if any) payable under this Section 3.5(a) to each former holder of an In-the-Money Option that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll to such former holder, as soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in any event not later than ten (10) calendar days thereafter), net of any Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 3.2(f).

(b) Treatment of Out-of-the-Money Company Options. At the Effective Time, each then outstanding and unexercised Company Option, whether or not vested, that has an exercise price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration (each, an “Underwater Option”) shall terminate and be automatically cancelled with no payment due to the holder thereof.

(c) Treatment of Vested Restricted Stock Units. Each outstanding restricted stock unit granted under a Company Stock Plan (a “Restricted Stock Unit”) that is outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall terminate and be automatically cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive, in accordance with this Section 3.5(c), a lump sum cash payment, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, in the amount equal to (x) the number of Shares underlying such vested Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied

8

by (y) the Merger Consideration, which amount shall be payable in cash. Following the Effective Time, no such vested Restricted Stock Unit that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and each former holder of any such vested Restricted Stock Unit shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration set forth in this Section 3.5(c) in exchange for such vested Restricted Stock Unit in accordance with this Section 3.5(c). Parent shall, or, if applicable, shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, pay the consideration payable under this Section 3.5(c) to each former holder of such a vested Restricted Stock Unit that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll to such former holder as soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in any event not later than ten (10) calendar days thereafter), net of any Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 3.2(f).

(d) Treatment of Unvested Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit that is subject to time-based vesting conditions granted under a Company Stock Plan that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall at the Effective Time continue to exist and remain issued and outstanding and subject to the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting and settlement) as those that applied as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, except (i) each such Restricted Stock Unit held by a grantee who, at the time of the applicable settlement date, is a Continuing Employee at or above the level of “Vice President” (a “Company Officer Employee”) shall be settled in shares of stock or other equity interests in the Company or one of its affiliates, as determined by the board of directors or board of managers of Parent or its applicable affiliate in its sole discretion, with applicable withholding Taxes satisfied through net share settlement, (ii) each such Restricted Stock Unit held by a grantee who, at the time of the applicable settlement date is not a Company Officer Employee shall be settled in cash, based on the fair market value of a share of stock or other equity interest in the Company or one of its affiliates, as determined by the board of directors or board of managers of Parent or its applicable affiliate in its sole discretion and (iii) for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other administrative or ministerial changes that are reasonable and made in good faith in connection with the administration of such Restricted Stock Units following the Effective Time.

(e) Treatment of 2021 Performance Restricted Stock Units. Except as set forth on Section 3.5(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter, each outstanding performance restricted stock unit that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions granted in 2021 (each, a “2021 Performance Restricted Stock Unit”) granted under a Company Stock Plan that is outstanding or payable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested (to the extent unvested or to the extent such 2021 Performance Restricted Stock Unit would not otherwise vest) and shall terminate and be automatically cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive a payment in an amount, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, equal to (i) the number of Shares subject to such 2021 Performance Restricted Stock Unit that were earned under the terms of such 2021 Performance Restricted Stock Unit based on the actual level of achievement, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company Board in its sole discretion in accordance with the

9

terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan and award agreement evidencing such 2021 Performance Restricted Stock Unit, multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration, which amount shall be payable in cash. Following the Effective Time, except as set forth on Schedule 3.5(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter, no such 2021 Performance Restricted Stock Unit that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and each former holder of any such 2021 Performance Restricted Stock Unit shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration set forth in this Section 3.5(e) in exchange for such 2021 Performance Restricted Stock Unit in accordance with this Section 3.5(e). Parent shall, or, if applicable, shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, pay the consideration payable under this Section 3.5(e) to each former holder of a 2021 Performance Restricted Stock Unit that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll to such former holder as soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in any event not later than ten (10) calendar days thereafter), net of any Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 3.2(f).

(f) Treatment of 2022 and 2023 Performance Restricted Stock Units. Each outstanding performance restricted stock unit that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions granted in 2022 or 2023 (each, a “2022/2023 Performance Restricted Stock Unit”, and together with the 2021 Performance Restricted Stock Units, the “Performance Restricted Stock Units”) granted under a Company Stock Plan that is outstanding or payable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall at the Effective Time continue to exist and remain issued and outstanding and subject to the same terms and conditions (including with respect to any time- and performance-based vesting conditions and settlement terms) as applied to the 2022/2023 Performance Restricted Stock Units, except (i) for any total shareholder return performance vesting conditions, which shall no longer apply, (ii) each 2022/2023 Performance Restricted Stock Unit held by a grantee who, at the time of the applicable settlement date, is a Company Officer Employee shall be settled in shares of stock or other equity interests in the Company or one of its affiliates, as determined by the board of directors or board of managers of Parent or its applicable affiliate in its sole discretion, with applicable withholding Taxes satisfied through net share settlement, (iii) each 2022/2023 Performance Restricted Stock Unit held by a grantee who, at the time of the applicable settlement date is not a Company Officer Employee shall be settled in cash, based on the fair market value of a share of stock or other equity interest in the Company or one of its affiliates, as determined by the board of directors or board of managers of Parent or its applicable affiliate in its sole discretion and (iv) for any other terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which shall no longer apply, or for such other administrative or ministerial changes that are reasonable and made in good faith in connection with the administration of the 2022/2023 Performance Restricted Stock Units following the Effective Time.

(g) Treatment of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and all outstanding rights thereunder as of the day immediately prior to the Effective Time, contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing. The offering or purchase period under the ESPP that would be in effect as of the Effective Time (the “Final Offering Period”) shall terminate no later than the day immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the Company shall cause the

10

exercise date applicable to the Final Offering Period to accelerate and occur on the termination date of the ESPP with respect to any then-outstanding purchase rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) all amounts allocated to each participant’s account under the ESPP at the end of the Final Offering Period shall thereupon be used to purchase whole Shares under the terms of the ESPP for such offering period, which Shares shall be cancelled at the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1(a) following the purchase of the Shares and (ii) the Company shall return to each participant the funds, if any, that remain in such participant’s account after such purchase and (iii) the Company shall take such steps as may be necessary such that, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, (x) no new participants may commence participation in the ESPP, (y) no current participant in the ESPP may increase his or her rate of contribution under the ESPP and (z) no new offering period will commence after the date of this Agreement.

(h) Further Action. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the board of directors of the Company and the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are reasonably necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.5.

ARTICLE IV

The Company shall, and the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries and direct its Representatives to, immediately (1) cease and cause to be terminated any discussions and negotiations with any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub and their Representatives) conducted theretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal and cease providing any information to any such Person or its Representatives, (2) with respect to any Person with whom such discussions or negotiations have been terminated, promptly following the date hereof (and in any event within two Business Days hereof) request that such Person and its Representatives to return or destroy, in accordance with the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement, any information furnished by or on behalf of the Company and shall take all necessary action to secure its rights and ensure the performance of any such Person’s obligations under any applicable confidentiality agreement, (3) promptly terminate all access granted to any Person and its Representatives to any physical or electronic data rooms relating (or other diligence access) and (4) not terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of any existing confidentiality or standstill agreement with respect to a potential Acquisition Proposal; provided that the foregoing shall not restrict the Company from (x) permitting a Person to request the waiver of a “standstill” or similar obligation or from granting such a waiver, in each case, to the extent necessary to comply with fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (y) informing any Person of the terms of this Section 6.2.

(b) Fiduciary Exception to No Solicitation Provision. Except as permitted by this Section 6.2, prior to the delivery of the Written Consent, the Company may, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal received after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.2, (i) provide access to non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the Person who made such Acquisition Proposal; provided that such information has previously been made available to Parent or is provided to Parent promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) following the time such information is made available to such Person and that, prior to furnishing any such material non-public information, the Company receives from the Person making such Acquisition Proposal an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person regarding such Acquisition Proposal if, and only if, prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that (A) based on the information then available and after consultation with a financial advisor that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(c) Notice. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours) notify Parent if (i) any written or other bona fide inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by the Company, (ii) any non-public information is requested in connection with any Acquisition Proposal from the Company or (iii) any discussions or negotiation with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are sought to be initiated or continued with the Company, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers and thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers and the status of any such discussions or negotiations.

34

(d) No Change in Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Except as provided in Section 6.2(e) and Section 6.2(f), from and after the date of this Agreement until the delivery of the Written Consent, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation or approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable any Acquisition Proposal (each, a “Change in Recommendation”), (ii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement or other agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.2(b) entered into in compliance with Section 6.2(a)) (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) relating to any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(e) Superior Proposal Exception to Change in Recommendation Provision or Entry into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.2(d), following receipt of a written Acquisition Proposal by the Company after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.2 and that the board of directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal, the board of directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) may, at any time prior to the delivery of the Written Consent, make a Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.3(b) in order to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 6.2(e)(ii), or authorize, resolve, agree or propose publicly to take any such action, if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) the Company shall have (A) provided to Parent three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (such period, as may be extended in accordance with this Section 6.2(e)(i), the “Superior Proposal Notice Period”), which shall state expressly (1) that it has received a written Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, (2) the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal (including the consideration offered therein and the identity of the Person or group making the Acquisition Proposal) and shall have contemporaneously provided an unredacted copy of the Alternative Acquisition Agreement and all other documents (other than immaterial documents) related to the Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term or condition of such Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and an additional two (2) Business Day period) and (3) that, subject to clause (ii) below, the board of directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) has determined to make a Change in Recommendation or to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.3(b) in order to enter into the Alternative Acquisition Agreement, as applicable and (B) prior to making such a Change in

35

Recommendation or terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.3(b), as applicable, used commercially reasonable efforts to engage in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent wishes to engage) during such notice period, which may be on a non-exclusive basis, to consider any adjustments committed to in writing by Parent to the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that the Alternative Acquisition Agreement ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal; and

(ii) the board of directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal and taking into account any revised terms committed to in writing by Parent, such Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make such Change in Recommendation or to so terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.3(b), as applicable, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) Intervening Event Exception to Change in Recommendation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.2(d), upon the occurrence of any Intervening Event, the board of directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) may, at any time prior to the delivery of the Written Consent, make a Change in Recommendation if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) the Company shall have (A) provided to Parent three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall (1) set forth in reasonable detail information describing the Intervening Event and the rationale for the Change in Recommendation and (2) state expressly that, subject to clause (ii) below, the board of directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) has determined to make a Change in Recommendation and (B) prior to making such a Change in Recommendation, used commercially reasonable efforts to engage in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent wishes to engage) during such notice period to consider any adjustments committed to in writing by Parent to the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that the failure of the board of directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) to make a Change in Recommendation in response to the Intervening Event in accordance with clause (ii) below would no longer reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(ii) the board of directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that in light of such Intervening Event and taking into account any revised terms committed to in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the failure to make a Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(g) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable U.S. federal Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided that this Section 6.2(g) shall not be deemed to permit the Company or the board of directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) to make a Change in Recommendation except in accordance with Section 6.2(e) or Section 6.2(f).

36

(a) Parent shall obtain from the Significant Company Stockholder and deliver to the Company the Written Consent by the Shareholder Approval Deadline.

(a) The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably possible, and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of the delivery of the Written Consent, prepare and file with the SEC a written information statement of the type contemplated by Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act containing (i) the information specified in Schedule 14C under the Exchange Act concerning the Written Consent and the Merger, (ii) the notice of action by written consent required by Section 228(e) of the DGCL and (iii) the notice of availability of appraisal rights and related disclosure required by Section 262 of the DGCL (such information statement, including any amendment or supplement thereto, the “Information Statement”). The Company and Parent shall each use their reasonable best efforts to promptly provide responses to the SEC with respect to any comments received on the Information Statement by the SEC, and the Company shall cause the definitive Information Statement to be filed and mailed as promptly as possible after the date the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) advises that it has no further comments thereon or that the Company may commence mailing the Information Statement.

(b) The Company and Parent shall cooperate to, concurrently with the preparation and filing of the Information, jointly prepare and the Company shall file with the SEC a Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13e-3 (such transaction statement, including any amendment or supplement thereto, the “Schedule 13e-3”) relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Information Statement or Schedule 13e-3 will be made by the Company without providing Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (other than any filing, amendment or supplement in connection with a Change in Recommendation). The Company shall (i) provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review drafts of the Schedule 13e-3 prior to filing the Schedule 13e-3 with the SEC and (ii) consider in good faith all comments thereto reasonably proposed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s outside legal counsel and its other Representatives.

37

any comments received from the SEC. If at any time, any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, is discovered by the Company or Parent which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Information Statement or Schedule 13e-3, as applicable, such that the Information Statement or Schedule 13e-3 would not (1) include any misstatement of a material fact or (2) omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then (x) the party that makes such discovery shall promptly notify the other party and (y) the Company shall prepare (with Parent’s reasonable assistance) and file with the SEC any appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminate such amendment or supplement to the stockholders of the Company. The Company shall notify Parent promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the Staff and of any request by the SEC or the Staff for amendments or supplements to the Information Statement or Schedule 13e-3 or for additional information and shall supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the Staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Information Statement, Schedule 13e-3 or the Merger. No response to any comments from the SEC or the Staff relating to the Information Statement or Schedule 13e-3 will be made by the Company without providing Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, unless made pursuant to a telephone call initiated by the SEC. The Company will cause the Information Statement to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Company and Parent agree, as to themselves and their Affiliates, that the Schedule 13e-3 will comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

6.5 Filings; Other Actions; Notification and Cooperation.

(a) The Company and Parent shall, subject to Section 6.2, cooperate with each other and use, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates to use, their respective reasonable best efforts to take (or cause to be taken) all actions, and do (or cause to be done) all things necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as expeditiously as possible, and in no event later than the Termination Date, including (i) preparing and filing all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings and to obtain as expeditiously as possible all consents, registrations, approvals, permits, expirations of waiting periods and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) satisfying the conditions to consummating the Merger, (iii) defending any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, (iv) obtaining (and cooperating with each other in obtaining) any consent, approval of, waiver or any exemption by, any non-governmental third party, in each case, to the extent necessary, proper or advisable in connection with the Merger and (v) executing and delivering any reasonable additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary the restrictions in the foregoing sentence shall not apply to any existing portfolio company (as such term is common understood in the private equity industry) of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇ Partners, L.P., and for the avoidance of doubt for purposes of this and the foregoing sentence the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be considered an existing portfolio company.

38

(b) None of the parties, including their respective Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates, shall take, cause or permit to be taken, or omit to take, any action which such party reasonably expects is likely to materially delay or prevent consummation of the contemplated transactions, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. None of the parties, without the other party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall (i) file, withdraw or refile any filing made under the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) or any other Antitrust Laws, (ii) enter into any timing, settlement or similar agreement, or otherwise agree or commit to any arrangement, that would have the effect of extending, suspending, lengthening or otherwise tolling the expiration or termination of the waiting period applicable to the contemplated transactions under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws or (iii) enter into any timing or similar agreement, or otherwise agree or commit to any arrangement, that would bind or commit the parties not to consummate the contemplated transactions (or that would otherwise prevent or prohibit the parties from consummating the contemplated transactions).

(c) Parent and the Company shall cooperate with respect to the Antitrust Laws; however, after consulting with the Company, Parent shall have final decision making authority with respect to the appropriate course of action with respect to obtaining the consents, approvals, permits, waiting period expirations or authorizations of any Governmental Entity required to consummate the Merger prior to the Termination Date. No party hereto or its counsel shall independently participate in any substantive call or meeting relating to the Antitrust Laws with any Governmental Entity in respect of such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without first giving the other party or its counsel prior notice of such call or meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and participate. In furtherance of the foregoing and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) each party shall notify the other, as far in advance as practicable, of any filing or material or substantive communication or inquiry it or any of its Subsidiaries intends to make with any Governmental Entity relating to the matters that are the subject of this Section 6.5, (ii) prior to submitting any such filing (excluding filings made under the HSR Act) or making any such communication or inquiry, such party shall provide the other party and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review, and shall consider in good faith the comments of the other party in connection with, any such filing, communication or inquiry, (iii) promptly following the submission of such filing or making such communication or inquiry, provide the other party with a copy of any such filing or, if in written form, communication or inquiry, or a summary of any oral communication and (iv) consult with the other party in connection with any inquiry, hearing, investigation or litigation by, or negotiations with, any Governmental Entity relating to the Merger, including the scheduling of, and strategic planning for, any meetings with any Governmental Entity relating thereto. In exercising the foregoing cooperation rights, the Company and Parent each shall act reasonably and as promptly as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, materials provided pursuant to this Section 6.5 may be reasonably redacted or withheld as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns, to comply with contractual arrangements or applicable Law, to address attorney-client privilege concerns, or to protect confidential or competitively sensitive information.

39

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 6.5, Parent, including its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates, hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity in connection with the HSR Act, any other applicable Antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and to avoid the entry of, or effect the dissolution of, any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. For the purposes of this Section 6.5, “reasonable best efforts” shall include taking any and all actions (such actions, the “Regulatory Actions”) necessary to obtain the consents, approvals, permits, waiting period expirations or authorizations of any Governmental Entity required to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby as expeditiously as possible, and in no event later than the Termination Date, including (A)(i) proposing, negotiating, committing to, effecting and agreeing to, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license, hold separate, and other disposition of the businesses, assets, properties, products, product lines, services or equity interests of the Company or Parent or their respective Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates, (ii) creating, terminating, or amending any existing or new relationships, ventures, contractual rights or obligations of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates, (iii) otherwise taking or committing to take any action that would limit Parent’s freedom of action with respect to the operation of, or its ability to retain or hold, directly or indirectly, any businesses, assets, properties, products, product lines, services or equity interests of Parent or the Company (including any of their respective Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates), provided, that such Regulatory Actions shall be conditioned upon and become effective only from and after the Effective Time; and (B) defending through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing from occurring prior to the Termination Date; provided that such litigation in no way limits the obligation of Parent to, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.5, to cause its controlled Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts, and to take any and all steps necessary, to eliminate each and every such impediment so as to be able to close the transactions contemplated hereby prior to the Termination Date.

(e) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 6.5, if any administrative or judicial Proceeding, including any such Proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Law, each of the Company and Parent shall use its 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 the consummation of the Merger; provided that Parent shall bear all costs and expenses associated with contesting or resisting any such action or proceeding.

40

(f) The Company and Parent each shall, upon request by the other, promptly furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by the other party that is necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, as applicable, to any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) The Company and Parent shall keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of any notice or other communications received by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates from any third party or any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than immaterial communications.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.5 or any other provision of this Agreement shall require Merger Sub, Parent or any of their Affiliates (including ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇ Partners, L.P. (“THL”) or any investment funds or investment vehicles affiliated with, or managed or advised by, THL or any portfolio company (as such term is commonly understood in the private equity industry) or investment of THL or of any such investment fund or investment vehicle) to, and the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, agree or otherwise be required to take any action (including any steps or actions contemplated by this Section 6.5) with respect to THL or its Affiliates, other than with respect to Parent and/or its Subsidiaries.

6.6 Access; Consultation.

(a) Upon reasonable advance notice (and in any event not less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice), and except as may otherwise be required by applicable Law, (x) the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ directors, officers and employees to, and shall direct its other Representatives to, afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ properties, assets, books and records and, (y) during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Parent all information concerning its or any of its Subsidiaries’ capital stock, business and personnel as may reasonably be requested by Parent in connection with the Merger; provided that no investigation pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company; and provided, further that the foregoing shall not require the Company to permit any invasive environmental sampling or any inspection or to disclose any information pursuant to this Section 6.6, to the extent that (i) in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Company, any applicable Law requires the Company or its Subsidiaries to restrict or prohibit access to any such information or disclosure thereof would expose the Company to an unreasonable risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive or personal information, (ii) in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Company, the information is subject to confidentiality obligations to a third party or its disclosure would violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement or other Contract that is binding on the Company or any of its

41

Subsidiaries or (iii) disclosure of any such information or document would result in the waiver or loss of attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other legal privilege; provided, further that with respect to the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 6.6(a), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (1) obtain the required consent of any such third party to provide such disclosure, (2) develop an alternative to providing such information so as to address such matters that is reasonably acceptable to the Company and (3) in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to permit the disclosure of such information in a manner to remove the basis for the objection, including by arrangement of appropriate clean room procedures, necessary redactions or entry into a customary joint defense agreement with respect to any information to be so provided, if the parties determine that doing so would reasonably permit the disclosure of such information without violating applicable Law or jeopardizing such privilege. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be directed to an executive officer of the Company or such Person as may be designated by any such executive officer.

(b) The Company may, as it deems advisable and necessary, designate competitively sensitive material as “Outside Counsel Only Material” or with similar restrictions. Such material and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient, pursuant to the terms of an agreement with respect thereto on terms that are reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company and pursuant to which such information shall not be disclosed by such outside counsel to any directors, officers or employees of the recipient without the express prior permission of the Company or its legal counsel, and shall be subject to any additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement between the parties. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.6, including all information and/or discussions resulting from any access provided pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be kept confidential.

(c) To the extent that any of the information or material furnished pursuant to this Section 6.6 or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement may include material subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, the parties understand and agree that they have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is their desire, intention and mutual understanding that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. All such information that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine.

6.7 Stock Exchange De-listing and De-registration. The Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to permit the Shares to be de-listed from the NYSE and de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as possible following the Effective Time.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, effect or permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Equity Commitment Letter if such amendment, modification or waiver could be expected to (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Equity Financing, (ii) impose new or additional conditions or other terms or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Equity Financing or any other terms to the Equity Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) materially delay or prevent the Closing or (B) make the timely funding of the Equity Financing, or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Equity Financing, less likely to occur in any material respect or (iii) adversely impact the ability of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable, to enforce its rights against the Equity Commitment Party under the Equity Commitment Letter.

(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Merger Sub shall each use its respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper and advisable to consummate and obtain the Equity Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Equity Commitment Letter, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Equity Commitment Letter, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to funding that are applicable to Parent and Merger Sub in the Equity Commitment Letter that are within its control, (iii) consummate the Equity Financing at or prior to the Closing, (iv) comply with its obligations pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter and (v) enforce its rights pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter. Nothing in this Agreement shall require, and in no event shall the reasonable best efforts of Parent and Merger Sub be deemed or construed to require, either Parent or Merger Sub to seek the Equity Financing from any source other than the Equity Commitment Parties, or in excess of the aggregate amount contemplated by, the Equity Commitment Letter. Parent and Merger Sub shall give the Company prompt notice of, and keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of (i) any actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Equity Commitment Letter of which Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware, including the receipt of any written notice or communication with respect thereto, and (ii) the occurrence of an event or development that could be expected to adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to obtain all or a portion of the Equity Financing at or prior to the Closing.

6.9 Publicity. The Company and Parent shall consult with each other prior to issuing or making, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment on, any press releases or other public announcements with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any filings with any third party or any Governmental Entity (including any national securities exchange) with respect thereto, except (a) as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or the NYSE, (b) any consultation that would not be reasonably practicable as a result of requirements of applicable Law, (c) any press release or public statement that in the good faith judgment of the applicable party is consistent with prior press releases issued or public statements made in compliance with this Section 6.9 or (d) with respect to any Change in Recommendation expressly permitted by this Agreement or Parent’s response thereto.

43

6.10 Employee Benefits.

(c) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(c), Parent shall pay to the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to that required to reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby at or prior to the time of such termination, up to $2,000,000 in the aggregate.

55

(d) If (i) this Agreement is terminated (A) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (Termination Date) prior to the receipt of the Company Requisite Approval or Section 8.2(a) (Company Requisite Approval) or (B) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.4(a) (Company Breach) as a result of a material breach of Section 6.2 (Acquisition Proposals), (ii) prior to such termination referred to in clause (i) of this sentence, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly made or publicly announced to the Company or its board of directors (or any committee thereof, including the Special Committee), publicly announced or shall have been made directly to the Company’s stockholders generally and, in each case, not withdrawn (a “Company Acquisition Proposal”) and (iii) within twelve (12) months after the date of a termination in either of the cases referred to in clauses (i)(A) and (i)(B) of this Section 8.5(d), the Company consummates a transaction the proposal of which would have constituted an Acquisition Proposal if made prior to the termination of this Agreement or enters into a definitive agreement for any transaction the proposal of which would have constituted an Acquisition Proposal if made prior to the termination of this Agreement (which transaction is subsequently consummated), then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee to Parent concurrently upon the consummation of such transaction; provided that solely for purposes of this Section 8.5(d), references to “fifteen percent (15%) or more” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%) or more”.

(e) The parties acknowledge and hereby agree that the Company Termination Fee, if, as and when required pursuant to this Section 8.5, shall not constitute a penalty but will be liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the party receiving such amount in the circumstances in which it is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. The parties acknowledge and hereby agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(f) Each party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.5 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, no party would have entered into this Agreement; and accordingly, if the Company or Parent fails to pay promptly any amount that may become due pursuant to Section 8.5(a), Section 8.5(b), or Section 8.5(d) (any such amount due, a “Payment”), and, in order to obtain such Payment, Parent or the Company commences a suit which results in a judgment against the Company or Parent, respectively, for the applicable Payment, or any portion thereof, the party with such judgment against them shall pay to the other party its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually incurred in connection with such suit and any appeal relating thereto, together with interest on the amount of the Payment, which shall accrue at the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect on the date such Payment was first required to be paid from such date through the date of full payment thereof.

56

9.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any exhibits hereto, the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter), the Equity Commitment Letter and the Certificate of Merger and any other certificate or instrument to be delivered hereunder, collectively constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

9.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not and shall not be deemed to, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, other than (a) as provided in Section 6.12 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance), (b) the right of the Company’s stockholders to receive the Merger Consideration after the Closing, (c) Section 8.5(g) (Liability of Company Related Parties), this Section 9.8 (No Third Party Beneficiaries) and Section 9.14 (No Recourse), which, to the extent applicable to the Company Related Parties or the Non-Recourse Parties, are intended to benefit and be enforceable by the Company Related Parties and the Non-Recourse Parties, as the case may be and (d) the right of the Company on behalf of the Company stockholders to pursue damages (including claims for damages based on loss of the economic benefits of the transactions to the Company stockholders) in the event of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s failure to effect the Merger as required by this Agreement, which right is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed by each of Parent and Merger Sub, each of whom shall each be jointly and severally liable for any such damages for which Parent or Merger Sub are found liable. The third-party beneficiary rights referenced in clause (d) of the preceding sentence may be exercised only by

60

the Company (on behalf of the Company stockholders as their agent) through actions expressly approved by the Company Board (or any committee thereof), and no Company stockholder, whether purporting to act in its capacity as a stockholder or purporting to assert any right (derivatively or otherwise) on behalf of the Company, shall have any right or ability to exercise or cause the exercise of any such right.

9.9 Obligations of Parent and of the Company. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Parent to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of the Company to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Company to cause such Subsidiary to take such action and, after the Effective Time, on the part of Parent and the Surviving Corporation to cause such Subsidiary to take such action.

9.10 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and in the event any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitral panel finds any provision hereof to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or enforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is found to be invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision negotiated in good faith by the parties hereto shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not, subject to clause (a) above, be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, except as a result of such substitution, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

9.11 Interpretation.

(a) The table of contents and the Article, Section and paragraph headings or captions herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section or Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section of or Exhibit to 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”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “or” when used in this Agreement is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any Contract or Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such Contract or Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of Contracts) by waiver or consent and (in the case of Laws) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.

61

(b) Any Contract or information referred to herein shall be deemed to have been “delivered”, “provided”, “furnished” or “made available” (or any phrase of similar import) to Parent by the Company if such Contract or information was posted to the data room maintained by the Company in connection with the transaction or otherwise provided directly (including through email) to Parent or any of its Representatives by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded. If the last day of any such period is a day other than a Business Day, the period in question shall end and any such step shall be taken by or on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c) The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

9.12 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of each of the other parties hereto, and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

9.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the obligations, undertakings, covenants or agreements of the parties to this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the Company, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other party, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including Section 6.5, and including to cause Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger and the Closing and to make the payments contemplated by this Agreement, including ARTICLE I and ARTICLE III) by a decree of specific performance, in accordance with Section 9.5 of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving actual harm or damages or posting a bond or other security therefor, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity, and each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance or other equitable remedy is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Without limitation of the foregoing, the parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of, and to prevent or cure breaches of the covenants required to be performed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Merger Sub under this Agreement (including Section 6.5, and including

62

to cause Parent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub to consummate the Merger and the Closing and to make the payments contemplated by this Agreement, including ARTICLE I and ARTICLE III) in addition to any other remedy to which the Company is entitled at law or in equity, including the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE VIII and seek money damages (including damages based on loss of the expected economic benefits of the transaction to the Company). Each party further agrees that it shall not take any position in any legal proceeding concerning this Agreement that is contrary to the terms of this Section 9.13. Parent shall cause Merger Sub and each of their respective Affiliates to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.

9.14 No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, general or limited partner, stockholder, equityholder, controlling person, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Representative of any party hereto or any of their successors or permitted assigns or any direct or indirect director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, general or limited partner, stockholder, equityholder, controlling person, Affiliate, agent, attorney, Representative, successor or permitted assign of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”), shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party under this Agreement or for any Proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, in each case other than in the case of fraud. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights of the Company against (i) Parent and Merger Sub and (ii) against the Guarantors as provided for in the Limited Guarantees, in no event shall the Company or any of its controlled Affiliates seek to recover monetary damages from any Non-Recourse Party.

9.15 Exercise of Discretion. The Company (prior to the Effective Time) shall not amend this Agreement, waive any rights of the Company or grant any consents under this Agreement without the prior approval of the Special Committee.

9.16 Effect of Breach of Designated Persons. If any member of the Company Board who is affiliated with the Significant Company Stockholder (each such Person, a “Designated Person”) takes an action or omits to take an action in each case with the intent of causing the Company to breach a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement, such breach or inaccuracy shall be disregarded for all purposes of this Agreement (in each case, other than any such action or omission taken at the direction of the Special Committee).

9.17 Additional Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent applicable, each of the Parties: (a) agrees that it will not bring or support any Person in any action, cause of action, suit, litigation, arbitration, investigation, hearing or other legal proceeding, whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any of the Additional Financing Sources in any way relating to

63

this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to any commitment letter in connection with any Additional Financing in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement obtained by the Parent or its Affiliates on or after the date of this Agreement (a “Additional Financing Commitment Letter”) or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, in any forum other than the federal and New York state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan within the City of New York; (b) agrees that, except as specifically set forth in any such Additional Financing Commitment Letter, all claims or causes of action (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against any of the Additional Financing Sources in any way relating to any such Additional Financing Commitment Letter, shall be exclusively governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York; and (c) hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action arising under any such Additional Financing Commitment Letter or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, subject to the rights of the parties to any such Additional Financing Commitment Letter of Definitive Agreement, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither it, nor any of the Company Related Parties shall have any rights or claims against any Additional Financing Sources or their Affiliates or representatives, in any way relating to this Agreement, any Additional Financing, any such Additional Financing Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to any breach by any Additional Financing Source or its Affiliates or representatives of any confidentiality obligation owing to the Company, Parent or their respective Affiliates, (ii) nothing in this Section 9.17 shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of Parent or its Affiliates under any such Additional Financing Commitment Letter or Definitive Agreement, (iii) nothing in this Section 9.17 shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under the Existing Credit Agreement or the Existing Receivables Agreement and (iv) following the Closing, nothing in this Section 9.17 shall in any way limit or modify the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries under any Definitive Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) the Additional Financing Sources are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to the protections of this Section 9.17 and (B) no amendments to any provision of this Section 9.17 that is materially adverse to the Additional Financing Sources, shall be effective as to the Additional Financing Sources under any Additional Financing Commitment Letter without the prior written consent of the Additional Financing Sources party to any Additional Financing Commitment Letter.
