THE MERGER

Section 2.01. The Merger.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Article 9, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place in New York City at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, at 9:00 a.m. local time on a Business Day as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in any event no later than three Business Days) after the date the conditions set forth in Article 9 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing) have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions, or at such other place, at such other time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree.

(c) At the Closing, the Company shall file a certificate of merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and make all other filings or recordings required by Delaware Law in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time (the “Effective Time”) as the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State (or at such later time as may be specified in the certificate of merger).

(d) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Merger Subsidiary, all as provided under Delaware Law.

Section 2.02. Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Company or the holders of any shares of Company Stock or any shares of capital stock of Parent or Merger Subsidiary:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(b), Section 2.02(c) or Section 2.04, each share of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive $23.50 in cash, without interest (such per share amount, the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender of such shares of Company Stock in accordance with Section 2.03, without interest.

(b) Each share of Company Stock held by the Company or owned by Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Each share of Company Stock held by any wholly-owned Subsidiary of either the Company or Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(d) Each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock, $0.01 par value, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.03. Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing shares of Company Stock (the “Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Stock (the “Uncertificated Shares”). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares. Such funds may be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided that (i) no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable hereunder and following any losses Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the stockholders of the Company in the amount of any such losses and (ii) such investments shall only be in short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than 90 days or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively. Any interest or income produced by such investments will be payable to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as Parent directs. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of record of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares at the Effective Time, other than shares described in Section 2.02(b) or Section 2.02(c), a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the Exchange Agent, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger

Consideration in respect of the Company Stock represented by a Certificate or Uncertificated Share. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

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

(e) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(a) (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Stock six months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of such shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

Section 2.04. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Delaware Law shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless and until such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses the right to appraisal. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses the right to appraisal, such shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares, including a copy thereof, and Parent shall have the right to direct and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent or as required by any final and non-appealable order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands.

Section 2.05. Company Stock Awards.

(a) Stock Options. At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Stock (each, a “Company Stock Option”) and each stock appreciation right which represents the right to receive a payment in cash or shares of Company Stock (each, a “Company SAR” and together with the Company Stock Options, the “Company Option Awards”) that is then-outstanding under any Company Stock Plan, whether or not vested or exercisable, shall, automatically and without any action on behalf of the holder thereof, be canceled, and the Company shall pay each holder of such Company Option Award for each such Company Option Award an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price of such Company Option Award by (ii) the number of shares of Company Stock underlying such award (assuming full vesting of the Company Option Award) had such holder exercised the Company Option Award in full immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate and cancel each Company Option Award with an exercise price per share that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan without any cash payment being made in respect thereof and the holder of such Company Option Award shall have no further rights in respect thereof.

(b) At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each award of Company Stock that is subject to vesting or other forfeiture conditions (each, a “Company Restricted Share”) and each restricted stock unit entitling the holder to delivery of shares of Common Stock, subject to satisfaction of vesting or other forfeiture conditions, whether settled in cash or in stock (each, a “Company RSU” and together with the Company Restricted Shares, the “Company Restricted Stock Awards”) that is then-outstanding under any Company Stock Plan, whether or not vested, automatically and without any action on behalf of the holder or beneficiary thereof, shall be canceled, and the Company shall pay the holder of any such Company Restricted Stock Award an amount in cash equal to the product of the Merger Consideration and the number of shares of Company Stock represented by such Company Restricted Stock Award and (ii) all dividends and interest, if any, accrued but unpaid as of the Effective Time with respect to Company Restricted Shares outstanding under any Company Stock Plan, automatically and without any action on behalf of the holder or beneficiaries thereof, shall vest and be paid or distributed, as applicable, to the holder of the associated Company Restricted Shares. Any Company Restricted Stock Award for which the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable under such award is determined based on the satisfaction of performance conditions (a “Company Performance Stock Award”) shall be deemed to have been earned at the target level under the terms of the award agreement relating to such Company Performance Stock Award.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide such notice, if any, to the extent required under the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan, obtain any necessary consents, and make any amendments to the terms of any outstanding Company Option Award or Company Restricted Stock Award to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.05. All payments under this Section 2.05 shall be made at or as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, pursuant to the Company’s ordinary payroll practices, and shall be subject to any applicable withholding.

Section 2.06. Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, but excluding any change that results from any exercise of options outstanding as of the date hereof to purchase shares of Company Stock granted under the Company’s stock option or compensation plans or arrangements, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted.

Section 2.07. Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of the Exchange Agent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Tax law. If the Exchange Agent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Stock, Company Stock Options, Company SARs, Company Restricted Shares or Company RSUs, as the case may be, in respect of which the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.08. Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT

Subject to Section 11.05, except as set forth in the Parent Disclosure Schedule, Parent represents and warrants to the Company that:

Section 5.01. Corporate Existence and Power. Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all corporate powers and authority and all governmental licenses, authorizations, permits, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted, except for any failure to be so organized, existing and in good standing as and those licenses, authorizations, permits, consents and approvals the absence of which would not have or reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of its incorporation, Merger Subsidiary has not engaged in any activities other than in connection with or as contemplated by this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Merger Subsidiary was incorporated solely for the purpose of consummating the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Merger Subsidiary have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by, and at the Effective Time will be owned by, Parent, free and clear of all Liens (except for pledges that may be required in connection with Parent’s current or future debt).

Section 5.02. Corporate Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by Parent and Merger Subsidiary of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent and Merger Subsidiary of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby are within the corporate powers and authority of Parent and Merger Subsidiary and, except for the approval of Parent as the sole stockholder of Merger Subsidiary (which approval Parent shall effect on the date hereof immediately following execution of this Agreement), have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of Parent and Merger Subsidiary. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by

each of the Parent and Merger Subsidiary and (assuming the valid authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company) constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary enforceable against Parent and Merger Subsidiary in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. No vote of the holders of any of Parent’s capital stock is necessary in connection with the consummation of the Merger.

Section 5.03. Governmental Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by Parent and Merger Subsidiary of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent and Merger Subsidiary of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby require no action by or in respect of, or registration, declaration or filing by Parent or Merger Subsidiary with or authorization, permit, notification to, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority, other than (a) the filing of a certificate of merger with respect to the Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other states in which Parent is qualified to do business, (b) compliance with any applicable requirements of the HSR Act, (c) compliance with any applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other applicable state or federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the NYSE and (d) any such action, registration, declaration, filing, authorization, permit, notification, consent or approval the failure of which to make or obtain would not have or reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.04. Non-contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by Parent and Merger Subsidiary of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent and Merger Subsidiary of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (a) contravene, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of any provision of the articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Parent or Merger Subsidiary, (b) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 5.03, contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any provision of any Applicable Law, (c) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 5.03, require any consent or other action by any Person under, constitute a default under, conflict with, or result in a violation of, or constitute a default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or cause, permit or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation or the loss of any benefit to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled under, any Contract binding upon Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or result in triggering any payment or other rights or obligations under any Contract to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets are bound or affected or (d) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, with only such exceptions, in the case of each of clauses (b) through (d), as would not have or reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.05. Disclosure Documents. The information supplied by Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Statement will not, at the time the Proxy Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto is first mailed to the stockholders of the Company and at the time of the Company Stockholder Approval, 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 therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The representations and warranties contained in this Section 5.05 will not apply to statements or omissions included or incorporated by reference in the Proxy Statement based upon information supplied by the Company or any of its representatives or advisors specifically for use or incorporation by reference therein.

Section 5.06. Finders’ Fees. Except for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., whose fees will be paid by Parent, there is no investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary or Person that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of Parent who might be entitled to any fee or commission or other like payments from Parent upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.07. Financing. (a) Parent has available to it as of the date hereof, and will have available to it as of the date the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.01, immediately available funds (taking into account funds available to Parent under the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below)) to enable it to consummate the Merger pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration and all other amounts required to be paid in connection with the Closing pursuant to Article 2 and to pay all related fees and expenses of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and their respective Representatives required to be paid in connection with the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Parent has delivered to the Company true and complete copies of its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 10, 2009 (as amended by the First Amendment dated as of February 17, 2011, by the Second Amendment dated as of July 13, 2012, by the Third Amendment dated as of July 23, 2013 and as otherwise amended and in effect on the date hereof (the “Amended Credit Agreement”)).

(c) There are no side letters (other than customary fee letters, engagement or related letters (none of which contain terms that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the amount or availability of the Financing)) or other material agreements or Contracts related to the credit facility governed by the Amended Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Facility”), other than as disclosed in any Company SEC Document filed by the Company with the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement.

(d) The Amended Credit Agreement is in full force and effect and is a valid and binding obligation (subject to the Enforceability Exceptions) of Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, the Financing Sources. As of the date hereof, the Amended Credit Agreement has not been amended or modified in any material respect, except for such amendments or modifications that have been disclosed in any Form 10-K or 10-Q or 8-K, as applicable, filed by Parent with the SEC prior to the date hereof, and the respective commitments contained therein have not been withdrawn in writing, rescinded in writing or otherwise modified in any material respect (other than customary assignments and participations of commitments). As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which would constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default), or the failure of any condition, on the part of Parent or its

Subsidiaries under the Amended Credit Agreement or, to the knowledge of Parent, on the part of any Financing Source. There are no conditions precedent to the drawdown by Parent of the amount (together with cash on hand) required to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, all other amounts required to be paid pursuant to Article 2 and all related fees and expenses of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and their respective Representatives pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, that are required to be paid in connection with the Closing (the “Financing”) other than the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 of the Amended Credit Agreement, and Parent has no reason to believe that it will not be able to satisfy any such condition of the Financing, or that any representation or warranty required to be true and correct at the applicable standard set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement for the Financing to be available to the Parent on the Closing Date will not be so true and correct on the Closing Date, or that the proceeds of the Financing will not be made available to Parent on the Closing Date.

(e) Parent acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the consummation of the Financing shall not be a condition to the obligation of Parent and Merger Subsidiary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.08. Solvency. Assuming (a) the satisfaction of the conditions to Parent’s obligations to consummate the Merger and (b) the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Financing, the payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration, any repayment or refinancing of debt contemplated in this Agreement and the payment of all related fees and expenses, the Surviving Corporation on a consolidated basis will be Solvent as of the Effective Time and immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (assuming, in each case, the Surviving Corporation is Solvent immediately prior to the Effective Time (without giving effect to any obligations to third parties which may be accelerated as a result of the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby)). For purposes of this Agreement, “Solvent” when used with respect to any Person, means that, as of any date of determination, (i) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, exceed (A) the value of all “liabilities of such Person, including contingent and other liabilities,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable federal laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, and (B) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Person on its existing debts (including contingent liabilities) as such debts become absolute and matured, (ii) such Person will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date and (iii) such Person will be able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature.

Section 5.09. Litigation. There is no action, arbitration, suit or proceeding pending against, or, to the knowledge of the Parent, threatened in writing against, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries before (or, in the case of threatened actions, arbitrations, suits or proceedings, would be before) or by any Governmental Authority or any arbitrator or arbitration tribunal, except as would not have or reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.10. Ownership of Shares. Except as previously disclosed to the Company or other than pursuant to this Agreement, neither Parent nor Merger Subsidiary or any of their Subsidiaries beneficially owns any Shares as of the date hereof.

Section 5.11. Absence of Certain Agreements. To Parent’s knowledge, as of the date hereof, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into any Contract, arrangement or understanding, or authorized, committed or agreed to enter into any Contract, arrangement or understanding, pursuant to which: (a) any stockholder of the Company in its capacity as such would be entitled to receive consideration of a different amount or nature than the Merger Consideration or pursuant to which any stockholder of the Company (i) agrees to vote to adopt this Agreement or the Merger or (ii) agrees to vote against any Superior Proposal or (b) any Third Party has agreed to provide, directly or indirectly, equity capital to Parent or the Company to finance in whole or in part the Merger.

Section 5.12. Management Agreements. Other than this Agreement, as of the date hereof, there are no Contracts, undertakings, commitments, agreements or obligations or understandings between Parent or Merger Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and any member of the Company’s management or the board of directors, on the other hand, relating in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the operations of the Company after the Effective Time.

quorum is present, the Company may make one or more successive postponements or adjournments (and the Company shall, at the request of Parent, make one such postponement or adjournment if the Company has not previously effected any such postponement or adjournment) of the Company Stockholder Meeting (provided that the Company Stockholders Meeting is not postponed or adjourned to a date that is more than 20 days after the date on which such postponement or adjournment is effected (excluding any adjournments or postponements required by Applicable Law)). The notice of such Company Stockholder Meeting shall include notice that a resolution to approve and adopt this Agreement, a resolution to adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting to solicit additional proxies and a resolution to vote on a non-binding advisory proposal to approve change-in-control payments to executives of the Company will be considered at the Company Stockholder Meeting, and no other matters shall be considered or voted upon at the Company Stockholder Meeting without Parent’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Subject to Section 6.04, the Board of Directors of the Company shall (i) recommend approval and adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders and shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval and (iii) otherwise comply in all material respects with all legal requirements applicable to such meeting. The Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.02 (other than the obligations set forth in the preceding sentence) shall not be affected by an Adverse Recommendation Change or the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of an Acquisition Proposal, and the Company agrees that it shall not submit to the vote of the stockholders of the Company any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal) prior to the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the preliminary Proxy Statement each time before it is filed with the SEC, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent and its counsel. Except in connection with actions taken pursuant to Section 6.04, the Company shall (i) promptly provide Parent and its counsel with any written comments or other communications, and promptly notify Parent and its counsel of any oral comments or other communications, 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 receipt of those comments or other communications and (ii) provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the Company’s response to those comments and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating with the Company or its counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC to the extent permitted by the SEC. Except in connection with actions taken pursuant to Section 6.04, no filing of, or amendment or supplement to, or correspondence to the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company without providing Parent and its counsel

a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement each time before it is filed, and the Company shall discuss with Parent, and give reasonable and good faith consideration for inclusion in such document or response, comments proposed by Parent. As promptly as practicable after the Proxy Statement has been cleared by the SEC (or after the expiration of the applicable period for comments from the SEC without notice from the SEC of its intent to review the Proxy Statement), the Company shall mail the Proxy Statement to the holders of shares of Common Stock of the Company.

(c) Parent shall furnish all information concerning Parent and its Affiliates to the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement. Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary agrees to advise the Company as promptly as practicable if at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting any information provided by it in the Proxy Statement is or becomes incorrect or incomplete in any material respect and to provide the Company with the information needed to correct such inaccuracy or omission. Parent and Merger Subsidiary will furnish the Company with such supplemental information as may be necessary in order to cause the Company Proxy Statement, insofar as it relates to Parent and its Affiliates, to comply with Applicable Law after the mailing thereof to the stockholders of the Company.

(d) The Company agrees to advise Parent as promptly as practicable if at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting any information provided by it in the Proxy Statement is or becomes incorrect or incomplete in any material respect and to supplement the Proxy Statement with the information needed to correct such inaccuracy or omission. The Company will furnish such supplemental information as may be necessary in order to cause the Proxy Statement to comply with Applicable Law after the mailing thereof to stockholders of the Company.

Section 6.03. Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Effective Time and subject to Applicable Law and the confidentiality agreement dated May 13, 2013, between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the Company shall (a) give Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives, upon reasonable notice, reasonable access during normal business hours to the offices, properties, books, contracts and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (b) furnish to Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives such financial and operating data and other information as such Persons may reasonably request and (c) instruct its employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives to cooperate reasonably with Parent in its investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Nothing in this Section 6.03 shall require the Company to provide any access, or to disclose any information (i) if providing such access or disclosing such information would violate Applicable Law (including antitrust and privacy laws) or any binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement or (ii) protected by attorney-client privilege to the extent such privilege cannot be protected by the Company through exercise of its reasonable efforts; provided, however, that the Company will use its

reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which any of the preceding restrictions apply. No investigation made pursuant to this Section shall affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto to consummate the Merger.

Section 6.04. No Solicitation; Other Offers. (a) Subject to the remainder of this Section 6.04, upon execution of this Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to, immediately cease or cause to be terminated any and all activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly after the date of this Agreement instruct each Third Party which has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal with or for the benefit of the Company to promptly return or destroy all information, documents, and materials relating to the Acquisition Proposal or to the Company or its businesses, operations or affairs heretofore furnished by the Company or any of its Representatives to such Person or any of its Representatives in accordance with the terms of any confidentiality agreement with such Person. Subject to Section 6.04(b) and Section 6.04(c), from the execution of this Agreement until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 10, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not authorize any of its or their Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or take any action to knowingly facilitate, encourage or assist, or knowingly induce the making, submission or announcement of, an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, otherwise knowingly cooperate in any way with any Third Party that is seeking to make, or has made, or could reasonably be expected to make, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve, adopt, endorse, or recommend an Acquisition Proposal, (iv) fail to make, withhold, withdraw or amend, qualify or modify, in each case in a manner adverse to Parent, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw or amend, modify or qualify, in each case in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation, (v) propose publicly to approve, adopt, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal (any of the foregoing in clause (iii), (iv) or (v), whether taken by the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), (vi) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar instrument contemplating or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or (vii) take any action to make the provisions of any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “business combination” or other similar anti-takeover statute or regulation inapplicable to any transactions contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal; provided that no action expressly permitted by Section 8.08 with respect to any standstill provision in any agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party shall constitute a breach of this Section 6.04.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 6.04(a) to the contrary, if at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, (i) the Company or any of its Representatives has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably believes, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal, (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take action with respect to such Acquisition Proposal would likely be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (iii) such Acquisition Proposal was not the result of a breach of Section 6.04(a) and (iv) the Company provides to Parent in accordance with Section 6.04(d) the information required under Section 6.04(d) to be delivered by the Company to Parent, then, so long as the foregoing conditions in the immediately preceding clauses (i)-(iv) remain satisfied, the Company, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may (A) engage in negotiations or discussions with such Third Party and its Representatives with respect to the Acquisition Proposal, and (B) furnish to such Third Party or its Representatives non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided that the Company shall concurrently provide to Parent any such information that is provided to any such Person which was not previously provided to or made available to Parent.

(c) In addition, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the 1934 Act, (ii) making any legally required disclosure to the Company’s stockholders with regard to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or an Acquisition Proposal (provided that neither the Company nor its Board of Directors may recommend any Acquisition Proposal unless expressly permitted by Section 6.04(e)), (iii) contacting and engaging in discussions with any person or group and their respective Representatives who has made an Acquisition Proposal that was not the result of a breach of this Section 6.04 solely for the purpose of clarifying such Acquisition Proposal and the terms thereof or (iv) issuing a “stop, look and listen” disclosure or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the 1934 Act; provided, however, that any disclosure of a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the 1934 Act other than (A) a “stop, look and listen” communication limited solely to the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the 1934 Act, (B) any express rejection of any applicable Acquisition Proposal or (C) any express reaffirmation of the Company Board Recommendation, shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change. No change, withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation shall change the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company for purposes of causing any law (including Section 203 of Delaware Law) to be inapplicable to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) The Board of Directors of the Company shall not take any of the actions referred to in Section 6.04(b) unless the Company shall have delivered to Parent a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action. In addition, prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) orally and in writing after the receipt by

the Company (or any of its Representatives) of (i) any Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) any request for information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party with respect to an actual or potential Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall also provide the identity of the Third Party making, submitting, inquiring about or expressing interest with respect to such Acquisition Proposal (except to the extent disclosure of such identity would breach a confidentiality obligation in effect prior to the execution of this Agreement) and (A) if it is in writing, a copy of such Acquisition Proposal and any related draft agreements and other written material from such Third Party (which, in each case, may be redacted, if necessary, solely to remove the identity of such Third Party in order to comply with a confidentiality obligation in effect prior to the execution of this Agreement) setting forth the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and (B) if oral, a summary thereof (including the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal). The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a prompt and timely basis of the status and details of any such Acquisition Proposal and with respect to any change to the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal within twenty-four (24) hours of any such change. The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any contract, arrangement, or commitment with any Third Party subsequent to the date of this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is or shall become party to any contract, arrangement, or commitment, in each case, that prohibits the Company from providing such information to Parent.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company may (i) (x) effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in respect of an Acquisition Proposal, or (y) enter into an agreement providing for a transaction that constitutes a Superior Proposal, if (A) the Company shall have received an Acquisition Proposal that was not the result of a breach of Section 6.04(a) that the Board of Directors of the Company determines, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal and the Company shall have otherwise complied in all material respects with the provisions of Section 6.04, (B) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take action with respect to such Superior Proposal would likely be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (C) the Company has previously notified Parent in writing that it intends to take such action (a “Section 6.04 Notice”), (D) the Company shall have made its Representatives available to discuss in good faith with Parent’s Representatives any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the three (3) Business Day period following delivery by the Company to Parent of the Section 6.04 Notice delivered to Parent, (E) if Parent shall have delivered to the Company a written, binding and irrevocable offer capable of being accepted by the Company to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement during such three (3) Business Day period, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors), after considering the terms of such offer by Parent, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to such Section 6.04 Notice continues to be a Superior Proposal, and (F) in the case of clause (y) above, the Company terminates this Agreement in accordance with

Section 10.01(d)(i), or (ii) effect an Adverse Recommendation Change other than in respect of an Acquisition Proposal if (A) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect such Adverse Recommendation Change would likely be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (B) the Company has previously delivered to Parent a Section 6.04 Notice that it intends to take such action, (C) the Company shall have made its Representatives available to discuss in good faith with Parent’s Representatives any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the three (3) Business Day period following delivery by the Company to Parent of the Section 6.04 Notice delivered to Parent, and (D) if Parent shall have delivered to the Company a written, binding and irrevocable offer capable of being accepted by the Company to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement during such three (3) Business Day period, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and after considering the terms of such offer by Parent, that the failure to effect such Adverse Recommendation Change would likely be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law. If any Superior Proposal that is the subject of clause (i) of this Section 6.04(e) is revised, including any revision to price, then the Company shall deliver to Parent a new Section 6.04 Notice and again comply with the requirements of clause (i) of this Section 6.04(e) with respect to such revised Superior Proposal, on each occasion on which a revised Superior Proposal is submitted, provided that in connection with each new Section 6.04 Notice contemplated by this sentence, each reference to a three (3) Business Day period in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a reference to the longer of (x) a forty-eight (48) hour period or (y) a period ending on 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following delivery of the applicable Section 6.04 Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, all information provided to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.04 or Section 6.03 will be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(f) As used in this Agreement:

(i) “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means a confidentiality agreement (A) in effect on the date hereof or (B) that (x) contains provisions that are no less favorable in any material respect to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and (y) does not include a provision calling for an exclusive right to negotiate with the Company and does not restrict the Company in any way from complying with this Agreement, including prohibiting the Company from providing information or written materials to Parent; provided that such confidentiality agreement may contain a less restrictive or no standstill restriction.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal (with all references to 20% and 80% in the definition of Acquisition Proposal being treated as references to 50% for these purposes) on terms that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) by a majority vote, taking into account (A) any proposal by Parent to amend or modify the terms of this Agreement and (B) all reasonably available legal, financial and regulatory aspects of such Acquisition Proposal and the timing and likelihood of consummation of such Acquisition Proposal, are more favorable to the Company’s stockholders (in their capacity as such) than the Merger.

Section 6.05. No Control of the Company’s Operations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give to Parent, directly or indirectly, rights to control or direct the Company’s operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, subject to and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control of its business and operations (it being understood that this provision shall not limit the rights of any party under Section 11.14 with respect to enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement).

ARTICLE 7

COVENANTS OF PARENT

Parent agrees that:

Section 7.01. Conduct of Parent. Parent shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, knowingly take any action or fail to take any action that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of Parent and Merger Subsidiary to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the financing thereof; provided, that this Section 7.01 shall not apply to any Specified Acquisitions (as defined in Section 8.01(b)), regardless of whether such Specified Acquisitions take place before or after the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 9.01(c).

Section 7.02. Obligations of Merger Subsidiary. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.03. Approval by Sole Stockholder of Merger Subsidiary. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement by the parties, Parent, as sole stockholder of Merger Subsidiary, shall approve and adopt this Agreement, in accordance with Delaware Law, by written consent, and promptly deliver to the Company a correct and complete copy of such written consent, certified by the Secretary of Parent.

Section 7.04. Voting of Shares. Parent shall vote all shares of Company Stock beneficially owned by it or any of its Subsidiaries in favor of adoption of this Agreement at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

Section 7.05. Director and Officer Liability.

(a) For six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify and hold harmless each individual who is as of the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a former or present officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Person”) to

the fullest extent (and solely to such extent) that the Company or the applicable Subsidiary (as applicable) would have been permitted by the Applicable Law of its jurisdiction of organization and under its certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) in effect on the date hereof to indemnify its own present and former officers and directors against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any threatened or pending claim, action, suit or proceeding to which the Indemnified Person is made a party, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal (each, a “Proceeding”), arising out of or pertaining to (i) the fact that the Indemnified Person is or was an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary as an officer, director, employee, fiduciary or agent of another enterprise, (ii) acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time or (iii) this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case whether asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time. In the event of any such Proceeding, to the fullest extent (and solely to such extent) that the Company or the applicable Subsidiary (as applicable) would have been permitted under the Applicable Law of its jurisdiction of organization and under its certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) to advance such fees, costs and expenses to such Indemnified Person, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, each Indemnified Person will be entitled to advancement of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any such Proceeding within twenty Business Days of receipt by the Surviving Corporation from the Indemnified Person of a request therefor, provided that, any person to whom expenses are advanced has provided an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by final adjudication that such person is not entitled to indemnification. In the event any Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Person in which indemnification or advancement of expenses could be sought by such Indemnified Person under this Section 7.05(a), (A) the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time, provided that the Surviving Corporation shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any such Proceeding, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Proceeding or such Indemnified Person otherwise consents, and (B) the Indemnified Persons as a group may retain only one law firm to represent them with respect to each such matter described in this Section 7.05(a) unless there is, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the positions of any two or more Indemnified Persons. From and after the Effective Time, Parent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the payment and performance obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.05(a). For the avoidance of doubt, if an Indemnified Person initiates a Proceeding against the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates to enforce the provisions of this Section 7.05(a) and a judgment or order is rendered in favor of such Indemnified Person in connection therewith, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify such Indemnified Person for all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Proceeding to the fullest extent permitted herein, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary of the Company (as applicable).

(b) For six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect provisions in the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or in such documents of any successor to the business of the Surviving Corporation) regarding elimination of liability of directors, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses that are no less advantageous to the intended beneficiaries than the corresponding provisions in existence on the date of this Agreement.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall or, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall and shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to, obtain a fully paid non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance”), in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier(s) with respect to D&O Insurance and with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby) (“Tail Insurance”), provided that in no event shall the cost of any such Tail Insurance in respect of any one policy year exceed the Maximum Amount; provided, further, that if the cost of any such Tail Insurance in respect of any one policy year exceeds the Maximum Amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain policies of D&O Insurance with the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Amount. The Company shall cooperate and consult with Parent reasonably and in good faith in seeking to obtain Tail Insurance hereunder, it being understood and agreed that nothing herein shall restrict the ability of the Company to obtain Tail Insurance prior to the Closing in the manner contemplated by the preceding sentence. If the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any reason fails to obtain such Tail Insurance as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to maintain in effect, for a period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time, the D&O Insurance in place as of the date hereof with the Company’s current insurance carrier or with an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof, or the Surviving Corporation shall purchase from the Company’s current insurance carrier or from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance comparable D&O

Insurance for such six-year period with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof; provided that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such coverage pursuant to this sentence an annual premium amount in excess of 300% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year (the “Maximum Amount”), which amount is set forth in Section 7.05(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; and provided, further, that if the aggregate premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain policies of D&O Insurance with the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Amount.

(d) If Parent, 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 or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.05.

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 7.05 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under Delaware Law or any other Applicable Law or under any agreement of such Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person.

Section 7.06. Employee Matters.

(a) For a period starting at the Closing and ending on December 31, 2014, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) to, provide to each Company Employee who is employed immediately prior to the Closing and who remains in the employ of Parent, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing (each such individual, a “Continuing Employee”) (i) a level of base salary and hourly wages that is no less favorable than the level of base salary and hourly wages that such Continuing Employee received immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) commissions, bonus opportunities and employee benefits (other than equity-based plans) that are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to the level of such commissions, bonus opportunities, and employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) For a period of 24 months following the Closing, Parent shall maintain the employee severance protections set forth in Section 7.06(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(c) Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) to, cause any employee benefit plans established, maintained or contributed to by Parent or any of its Affiliates that cover any of the Continuing Employees following the Closing (collectively, the “Parent Plans”) to (i) recognize the pre-Closing service of participating Continuing Employees with the Company for all purposes of vesting, eligibility and benefit entitlement, provided that service with the Company shall not be counted for purposes of (x) benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan of Parent, (y) eligibility for any retiree welfare benefits of Parent, or (z) to the extent such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period, (ii) waive any pre-existing condition limitations for participating Continuing Employees and (iii) provide credit to each participating Continuing Employee under the applicable Parent Plan for amounts paid by the Continuing Employee prior to the Closing during the year in which the Closing occurs under any analogous Company Employee Plan during the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms of such Parent Plan.

(d) Parent shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to continue to credit under any applicable Parent Plans each Continuing Employee for all vacation and personal holiday pay that such Continuing Employee is entitled to use but has not used as of the Closing, subject to maximum carryover limitations, if any, under Parent’s vacation policy.

(e) Nothing in this Section 7.06, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, including any Continuing Employee, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 7.06 shall constitute an amendment of, or an undertaking to amend, any Company Employee Plan or Parent Plan.

ARTICLE 8

COVENANTS OF PARENT AND THE COMPANY

The parties hereto agree that:

Section 8.01. Regulatory Undertakings. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all reasonable actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law to consummate, as soon as possible, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) preparing and filing as promptly as practicable with any Governmental Authority or other third party all documentation to effect all reasonably necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents and (ii) obtaining and maintaining all approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority or other third party that are reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the obligations set forth in this sentence shall not be deemed to have been breached as a result of actions by the Company or its Subsidiaries permitted by Section 6.04.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company shall make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”) as promptly as practicable and in any event within 10 Business Days after the date hereof. Each of Parent and the Company shall (i) respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries received from the FTC or the Antitrust Division for additional information or documentation and to all inquiries and requests received from any State Attorney General or other Governmental Authority in connection with antitrust matters, and (ii) not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with the FTC or the Antitrust Division not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Prior to the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 9.01(c), Parent shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, effect or agree to effect any acquisition (by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or any other similar transaction) of any assets of or interest in a Person, which assets or Person compete with the products, services or lines of business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (“Specified Acquisitions”), in each case, if such acquisition would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or materially delay the ability of Parent or Merger Subsidiary to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) If any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under any Regulatory Law or if any order, judgment, decree or injunction of any Governmental Authority is sought, obtained or instituted by any Governmental Authority or any private party challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) oppose or defend against any such objection, order, judgment, decree or injunction to prevent, delay or enjoin consummation of this Agreement (and the transactions contemplated herein); and (ii) take such action as reasonably necessary to overturn any action by any Governmental Authority or private party to block consummation of this Agreement (and the transactions contemplated herein) or otherwise as reasonably necessary to permit consummation of the Merger, including by defending any objection, order, judgment, decree or injunction sought or brought by any Governmental Authority or private party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated, overturned or terminated, including by appeal if necessary, any decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing or the other transactions contemplated herein; provided, that Parent shall control the defense and negotiation of any proceeding related to the foregoing, and each of the parties hereto shall cooperate with one another in connection with any such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be obligated to amend or waive the provisions of any contract, arrangement, commitment or understanding, or to pay any consent or similar fees or payments, or divest any assets or enter into commitments regarding the conduct of its business or licensing of technology or know-how, in each case unless such action is conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger.

(d) Subject to Section 8.01(e), nothing in this Agreement (including in Sections 8.01(a), 8.01(b) or 8.01(c)) shall require any party or its Subsidiaries to (i) propose, negotiate, or offer to commit or agree to or effect by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license, disposition or hold separate of any asset, (ii) conduct or agree to conduct its business in any particular manner, or (iii) agree to any order, action or condition of any regulatory body, whether in an approval proceeding or another regulatory proceeding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries shall propose, negotiate or offer to commit to any sale, divestiture, license, disposition or hold separate of any asset contemplated to be held by the Surviving Corporation following the consummation of the Merger, or any agreement to conduct its business in any particular manner, or any other order, action or condition of any regulatory body, in each case without the prior written consent of Parent.

(e) If Parent elects to propose, negotiate, or offer to commit to and effect by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, any sale, divestiture, license, disposition, prohibition or limitation or other action of a type described in Section 8.01(c) or Section 8.01(d), with respect to any assets or businesses of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or effective as of the Effective Time, the Company or its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, reasonably cooperate as requested by Parent in connection with any such sale, divestiture, license, disposition, prohibition or limitation or other action of a type described in Section 8.01(c) or Section 8.01(d), so long as such sale, divestiture, license, disposition, prohibition or limitation or other action is to be effective only as of the Effective Time.

(f) Each party shall (i) promptly notify the other party of any written communication to that party from the FTC, the Antitrust Division, any State Attorney General or any other Governmental Authority and, subject to Applicable Law, permit the other party to review in advance any proposed written communication to any of the foregoing; (ii) not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning any competition or antitrust matters in connection with this Agreement or the Merger unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat; and (iii) furnish the other party with copies of all correspondence, filings, and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between them and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives on the one hand, and any government or regulatory authority or members or their respective staffs on the other hand, with respect to any competition or antitrust matters in connection with this Agreement and the Merger.

Section 8.02. Other Filings with Governmental Authorities. The Company and Parent shall cooperate with one another (a) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any Material Contracts, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b) in taking such reasonable actions or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith and seeking timely to obtain any such reasonable actions, consents, approvals or waivers.

Section 8.03. Parent Financing.

(a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to obtain the Financing, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Amended Credit Agreement and the commitments provided for thereunder, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions precedent to drawing down funds set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement in connection with the Financing and (iii) in the event that all conditions in the Amended Credit Agreement have been satisfied, consummate the Financing at or prior to Closing. In addition, from and after the date hereof, Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, draw down proceeds under the Amended Credit Facility or reduce the commitments thereunder to the extent that, after giving effect to such draw down or reduction, the remaining amounts available to be drawn down by Parent under the Amended Credit Facility (together with any immediately available funds then available, and which will be available at the Closing, to Parent) would not be sufficient to fund the payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration and all other amounts required to be paid pursuant to Article 2 and all related fees and expenses of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and their respective Representatives pursuant to this Agreement that are required to be paid in connection with the Closing. After the date hereof until the Closing, Parent shall not agree to any amendment or modification to be made to, or to any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Amended Credit Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company if such amendments, modifications or waivers would reasonably be expected to (w) reduce the aggregate amount of funds or commitments available to Parent under the Amended Credit Facility below the amount required to consummate the Merger in accordance with this Agreement and pay all related fees and expenses required to be paid in connection with the Closing, (x) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the drawdown of funds pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement or (y) prevent, impede or materially delay the availability of the Financing. Upon any amendment, supplement or modification of or waiver to the Amended Credit Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.03, Parent shall provide a copy thereof to the Company and the term “Amended Credit Agreement” shall mean the Amended Credit Agreement as so amended, supplemented, modified or waived (it being understood that delivery of any document (to the extent any such document is included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 8.03 may be satisfied with respect to such document by the filing of Parent’s Form 10-K or 10-Q or 8-K, as applicable, with the SEC, it being understood that any such documents shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Company on the later of the date (A) such documents are posted on the SEC’s website on the Internet at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇ and (B) on which Parent provides notice of such posting to the Company).

(b) Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall give the Company prompt notice if Parent gains knowledge: (i) of any “Event of Default” under the Amended Credit Agreement (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any such Event of Default) that would

reasonably be expected to adversely affect the amount or availability of the Financing; (ii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any lender party to the Amended Credit Agreement with respect to any actual or threatened breach, default, withdrawal, termination or repudiation by any lender party to the Amended Credit Agreement of any provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement; and (iii) of any material written dispute or disagreement between or among Parent and any of the other lender parties to the Amended Credit Agreement that would reasonably be expected to reduce the amount of the Financing or prevent, impede or materially delay the availability of the Financing.

(c) Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of the Financing, or any other financing, is not a condition to Closing and reaffirm their obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or any other financing, subject to fulfillment or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 9.

Section 8.04. Public Announcements. Except in connection with actions taken pursuant to Section 6.04, Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release, having any communication with the press (whether or not for attribution), making any other public statement or scheduling any press conference or conference call with investors or analysts with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, except in respect of any public statement or press release as may be required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association, shall not issue any such press release or make any such other public statement or schedule any such press conference or conference call before such consultation.

Section 8.05. Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Subsidiary, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Subsidiary, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Section 8.06. Notices of Certain Events. Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other of:

(a) any written notice or other written communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(b) any written notice or other written communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to its knowledge, threatened in writing against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent and any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that relate to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(d) (i) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would cause ((A) any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement made by it (and in the case of Parent, made by Merger Subsidiary) to be untrue or inaccurate in a manner that would cause the conditions set forth in Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.03(a), as applicable, not to be satisfied or (B) any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement not to be complied with or satisfied by it (and in the case of Parent, by Merger Subsidiary) in a manner that would cause the conditions set forth in Section 9.02(b) or Section 9.03(b), as applicable, not to be satisfied and (ii) in the case of the Company, any change or development that has, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Company Material Adverse Effect or, in the case of Parent and Merger Subsidiary, any change or development that has, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Section 8.07. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Company Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Stock) by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act.

Section 8.08. Standstill Agreements. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 10, the Company shall not terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any confidentiality agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or any standstill agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (other than any between the Company and Parent), in each case unless the Board of Directors of the Company determines after consulting with its outside legal counsel that the failure to terminate, amend, modify or waive such provision would likely be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided that the Company shall not enforce and hereby waives any provision of any such agreement that would prohibit a third party from requesting such termination, amendment, modification or waiver or from communicating confidentially an Acquisition Proposal to the Company’s Board of Directors. Subject to the foregoing, during such period, the Company agrees to enforce the provisions of any such agreements, including, if applicable, seeking to obtain injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in any court of the U.S. or any state thereof having jurisdiction.

Section 8.09. Litigation and Proceedings. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate, at Parent’s expense, in (but not control) the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company or its directors and any other lawsuit or proceeding, whether judicial or administrative, relating to or challenging this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company agrees that it shall not settle or offer to settle any litigation or other legal proceeding against the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees, advisors or agents, by any stockholder of the Company or otherwise, relating to this Agreement or the Merger without the prior written consent of Parent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Section 8.10. State Takeover Statutes; Other Matters.

(a) The Company and the Board of Directors of the Company shall (i) take all action necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to the Merger, this Agreement or the transactions provided for in this Agreement and (ii) if any state takeover statute or similar statute becomes applicable to the Merger, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, take all action necessary to ensure that the Merger, this Agreement and all of the transactions provided for in this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as reasonably practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger, this Agreement, or the transactions provided for in this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall not implement, approve, agree or commit to enter into, or authorize any stockholder rights plan, “poison pill” plan, anti-takeover plan or other similar device in effect, to which the Company is a party or otherwise bound.

ARTICLE 10

TERMINATION

Section 10.01. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval (provided, that any termination pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(i) or Section 10.01(d)(i) may only occur prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval):

(a) by mutual written agreement of the Company and Parent;

(b) by either the Company or Parent, if:

(i) the Merger has not been consummated on or before December 31, 2013 (the “End Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(b)(i) shall not be available to any party (including, in the case of Parent, Merger Subsidiary) whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in the failure of the Merger to be consummated by such time; provided, further, that if, as of the End Date, (x) one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01(b) (due solely to any Regulatory Law applicable to the

Merger or any Prohibition under or in respect of any Regulatory Law applicable to the Merger) or Section 9.01(c) are not then satisfied, and (y) all of the other conditions set forth in Section 9.01 and the condition set forth in Section 9.02(c) are satisfied, other than those conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing, provided that such conditions are then capable of being satisfied (it being understood that in determining whether the condition set forth in Section 9.02(c) is satisfied solely for the purposes of this proviso, clause (ii) of the definition of “Company Material Adverse Effect” shall be interpreted without taking into account any effect resulting from any Regulatory Law applicable to the Merger or Prohibition under or in respect of any Regulatory Law applicable to the Merger), then, upon written notice given by either the Company or Parent to the other not later than 6:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the End Date, the End Date shall be extended until April 30, 2014, which date shall thereupon constitute the End Date for all purposes of this Agreement;

(ii) there shall be any permanent injunction or other order issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the Merger and such injunction or other order shall have become final and nonappealable; or

(i) (A) an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred, (B) the Company fails to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, or (C) the Company materially and intentionally breaches or fails to perform any of its obligations under Section 6.04;

(ii) a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the condition set forth in Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.02(b) not to be satisfied prior to or as of the End Date and, in any such case, such breach or failure to perform (if curable) has not been cured within 30 days after written notice of such breach to the Company by Parent; or

(d) by the Company:

(i) prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, in order to concurrently or immediately after enter into a written agreement for an Acquisition Proposal that is a Superior Proposal, if the Company, concurrently with, and as a condition to, any termination pursuant to this Section 10.01(d)(i), pays Parent the Termination Fee as set forth in Section 11.04(b)(i); provided, that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(d)(i) if such Superior Proposal resulted from a breach by the Company of Section 6.04; or

(ii) if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Merger Subsidiary set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the condition set forth in Section 9.03(a) or Section 9.03(b) not to be satisfied prior to or as of the End Date and, in any such case, such breach or failure to perform (if curable) has not been cured within 30 days after written notice of such breach to Parent by the Company.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01 (other than pursuant to Section 10.01(a)) shall give notice of such termination to the other party.

Section 10.02. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without liability of any party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party) to the other party hereto; provided that, subject to Section 11.04(c) and Section 11.04(d), if such termination shall result from the willful breach by a party of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement, such party shall not be released or relieved from any liabilities or damages (which the parties acknowledge and agree shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs, and may include to the extent proven the benefit of the bargain lost by a party’s stockholders (taking into consideration relevant matters, including other combination opportunities and the time value of money), which shall be deemed in such event to be damages of such party) incurred or suffered by the other party as a result of such failure. The rights granted pursuant to this Section 10.02 to the Company shall be enforceable solely by the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, on behalf of the stockholders of the Company and it is agreed that neither this provision nor any other provision of this Agreement is intended to provide the stockholders of the Company the ability to seek prior to the Effective Time the enforcement of, or directly seek any remedies pursuant to, this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt as to the parties’ intent with respect to control of determinations regarding the Company’s rights under this Agreement to terminate, amend, make any waiver or consent under, or enforce this Agreement, and whether and how (if applicable) to distribute any damages award to stockholders of the Company, such rights shall exclusively belong to the Company (acting through the Board of Directors of the Company) in its sole discretion. The provisions of this Section 10.02, 11.04, 11.08, 11.09 and 11.10 and the last sentence of Section 6.04(e) shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 10.01.

Section 11.02. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained herein and in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall not survive the Effective Time.

Section 11.03. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided that after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained there shall be no amendment or waiver that would require the further approval of the stockholders of the Company under Delaware Law without such approval having first been obtained.

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

Section 11.04. Expenses. (a) General. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(b) Termination Fee; Expense Reimbursement Amount; Reverse Termination Fee.

(i) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(i) or by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), then the Company shall pay to Parent in immediately available funds $16,600,000 (the “Termination Fee”). The Termination Fee shall be payable in the case of termination (1) by Parent, within two Business Days of such termination and (2) by the Company, concurrently with such termination.

(ii) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (x) Section 10.01(b)(i) and the Company Stockholder Meeting has not been held prior to the date of such termination, (y) Section 10.01(b)(iii) or (z) Section 10.01(c)(ii) as a result, in the case of this clause (z) only, of a material breach by the Company of Section 8.01 or of an intentional breach by the Company of any of its other obligations hereunder (including an intentional breach by the Company of its obligation to consummate the Closing pursuant to Section 2.01(b)), and, in the case of any of clauses (x), (y) or (z), (A) at any time prior to such termination (in the case of the foregoing clause (x) or (z)) or the Company Stockholder Meeting (in the case of the foregoing clause (y)) an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced and not publicly and unconditionally withdrawn at least five Business Days prior

to the time of such termination (in the case of the foregoing clause (x) or (z)) or the Company Stockholder Meeting (in the case of the foregoing clause (y)) and (B) within twelve (12) months following the date of such termination, either the Company enters into a definitive agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal (which need not be the same Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (A) above) or any transaction contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal (which need not be the same Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (A) above) is consummated (provided that for purposes of this clause (B), each reference to “20%” and “80%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%”), then the Company shall pay to Parent, concurrently with the occurrence of the applicable event described in clause (B), the Termination Fee; provided, however, that any payment received by Parent pursuant to Section 11.04(b)(iii) shall be credited against such payment.

(iii) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (x) Section 10.01(b)(i) and the Company Stockholder Meeting has not been held prior to the date of such termination or (y) Section 10.01(b)(iii), and, in any such case, at any time prior to such termination (in the case of the foregoing clause (x)) or the Company Stockholder Meeting (in the case of the foregoing clause (y)) an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced and not publicly and unconditionally withdrawn at least five Business Days prior to the time of such termination (in the case of the foregoing clause (x)) or the Company Stockholder Meeting (in the case of the foregoing clause (y)), then the Company shall pay to Parent, within two (2) Business Days of such termination, the Expense Reimbursement Amount. The term “Expense Reimbursement Amount” means all documented out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Parent in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including fees and expenses of accountants, attorneys, investment bankers and financial advisors (but excluding corporate overhead or salaries payable to employees of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries); provided, however, that in no event shall the Expense Reimbursement Amount exceed $6,000,000.

(iv) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) or Section 10.01(b)(ii) and, at the time of such termination, (x) one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01(b) (due solely to any Regulatory Law applicable to the Merger or any Prohibition under or in respect of any Regulatory Law applicable to the Merger) or Section 9.01(c) are not then satisfied, and (y) all of the other conditions set forth in Section 9.01 and Section 9.02 have been satisfied (except those conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing, provided that such conditions are then capable of being satisfied), then Parent shall pay or cause to be paid $30,000,000 (the “Reverse Termination Fee”) to the Company. The Reverse Termination Fee shall be payable within two (2) Business Days following the termination described in the preceding sentence. In determining whether the conditions set forth in Section 9.02(a), Section 9.02(c) and Section 9.02(d) (as Section 9.02(d) relates to Sections 9.02(a) and 9.02(c)) shall have been satisfied or shall be capable of being satisfied, as applicable, solely for the purposes of this Section 11.04(b)(iv), clause (ii) of the definition of “Company Material Adverse Effect” shall be interpreted without taking into account any effect resulting from any Regulatory Law applicable to the Merger or Prohibition under or in respect of any Regulatory Law applicable to the Merger.

(c) Parent and Merger Subsidiary agree that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 11.04(b) and such Termination Fee is paid in full, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Company, at law or in equity or otherwise, and neither Parent nor Merger Subsidiary shall seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. In no event shall the Company be required to pay more than one Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11.04(b).

(d) The Company agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Reverse Termination Fee is payable by Parent pursuant to Section 11.04(b) and such Reverse Termination Fee is paid in full, the Company, its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, stockholders and Representatives (the “Company Related Parties”) shall be precluded from any other remedy against Parent, Merger Subsidiary, and their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, stockholders and Representatives (including the Financing Sources) (the “Parent Related Parties”), at law or in equity or otherwise, and none of the Company Related Parties shall seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against any of the Parent Related Parties or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the Company’s ability to enforce its rights under the Confidentiality Agreement. In no event shall Parent be required to pay more than one Reverse Termination Fee pursuant to Section 11.04(b).

(e) The Termination Fee, the Expense Reimbursement Amount and the Reverse Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 11.04(b) shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds. The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in Section 11.04(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, none of the Company, Parent or Merger Subsidiary would enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if (i) the Company fails to promptly pay the amount due by the Company pursuant to Section 11.04(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent or Merger Subsidiary commences a suit which results in a binding nonappealable judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction against the Company for the fee set forth in Section 11.04(b), the Company shall pay to Parent or Merger Subsidiary its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, and (ii) Parent fails to promptly pay the amount due by Parent pursuant to Section 11.04(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a suit which results in a binding nonappealable judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction against Parent or Merger Subsidiary for the fee set forth in Section 11.04(b),

Parent shall pay to the Company its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit. In addition, if Parent or the Company fails to promptly pay the amount due by such party pursuant to Section 11.04(b), interest shall accrue on such amount from the date such payment was required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to three (3) percent plus the prime interest rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such interest begins accruing.

Section 11.05. Disclosure Schedule and SEC Document References. The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of either the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (b) any other representations and warranties of such party that are contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties is reasonably apparent. The mere inclusion of an item in either the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule as an exception to, or disclosure for purposes of, a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, or is outside of the ordinary course of business of the Company.

Section 11.06. Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no provision of this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, other than: (i) with respect to the provisions of Section 7.05 which shall inure to the benefit of the persons or entities benefiting therefrom who are intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof, (ii) at and after the Effective Time, the rights of the holders of shares of Company Stock to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (iii) at and after the Effective Time, the rights of the holders of Company Option Awards and Company Restricted Stock Awards to receive the payments contemplated by the applicable provisions of Section 2.05, in each case, at the Effective Time in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (iv) with respect to the proviso of the first sentence of Section 8.08, which shall inure to the benefit of each Person that is a party to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with the Company. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto.

(b) No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto, except that Parent and Merger Subsidiary may assign all or any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Subsidiaries of Parent, provided that no such

assignment shall (i) relieve the assigning party of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other party hereto or due to such assigning party or (iii) be permitted if such assignment would reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 11.07. No Other Representations and Warranties. (a) Except for the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4, each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledges and agrees that no representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, at law or in equity, is made or shall be deemed to have been made by or on behalf of the Company to Parent or Merger Subsidiary, and the Company hereby disclaims, and Parent and Merger Subsidiary hereby disclaim any reliance upon, any such representation or warranty, whether by or on behalf of the Company, and notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to Parent or Merger Subsidiary, or any of their Representatives or Affiliates, of any documentation or other information by the Company or any of its Representatives or Affiliates with respect to any one or more of the foregoing. In particular, without limiting the foregoing disclaimer, neither the Company nor any other Person makes or has made any representation or warranty to Parent, Merger Subsidiary, or any of their Affiliates or Representatives, and Parent and Merger Subsidiary hereby disclaim any reliance upon, any representation or warranty with respect to any financial projection, forecast, estimate, budget or prospect information relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses.

(b) Except for the representations and warranties set forth in Article 5, the Company acknowledges and agrees that no representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, at law or in equity, is made or shall be deemed to have been made by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Subsidiary, and Parent and Merger Subsidiary hereby disclaim, and the Company hereby disclaim any reliance upon, any such representation or warranty, whether by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Subsidiary, and notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to the Company, or any of their Representatives or Affiliates of any documentation or other information by Parent or Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective Representatives or Affiliates with respect to any one or more of the foregoing.

Section 11.08. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

Section 11.09. Jurisdiction. (a) The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether brought by any party or any of its Affiliates or against any party or any of its Affiliates) shall be brought in the Delaware Chancery Court or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or other Delaware state court, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or

proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 11.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

EACH PARTY SHALL TAKE ALL SUCH ACTION AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO CONTINUE SAID APPOINTMENT IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT OR TO APPOINT ANOTHER AGENT SO THAT SUCH PARTY WILL AT ALL TIMES HAVE AN AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR THE ABOVE PURPOSES IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE IRREVOCABLE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Section 11.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 11.11. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 11.13. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.14. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof (and, more specifically, that irreparable damage would occur if the Merger were not consummated and the Company’s stockholders and holders of Company Option Awards and Company Restricted Stock Awards did not receive the aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms but subject to the conditions of this Agreement) and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the parties’ obligation to consummate the Merger and Parent’s obligation to pay, and the right of the Company’s stockholders and holders of Company Option Awards and Company Restricted Stock Awards to receive, the aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger, subject in each case to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any Delaware state court, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and the parties further waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or proof of actual damages in connection with any such remedy.
