ARTICLE I

THE MERGER TRANSACTIONS

Section 1.1 The Offer.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including Article VII), as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, but in any event no later than the tenth Business Day after the initial public announcement of the execution of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, commence, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, the Offer. The obligations of Merger Sub to, and of Parent to cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment, and pay for, any shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer are subject only to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted under this Agreement) of the conditions set forth in Annex I (as they may be amended in accordance with this Agreement, the “Offer Conditions”).

(b) To the extent permitted by Law, Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right, at any time, to waive, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition), to increase the Offer Price or to modify the terms of the Offer in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that, without the prior written consent of the Company, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall (i) reduce the maximum number of shares of Common Stock sought to be purchased in the Offer, (ii) reduce the Offer Price or change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (iii) change, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, (iv) impose conditions to the Offer that are in

2

addition to the Offer Conditions, (v) modify or amend any existing Offer Conditions in a manner adverse to the holders of the Common Stock, (vi) except as otherwise required or expressly permitted by Section 1.1(d), extend or otherwise change the Expiration Time, (vii) provide for any “subsequent offering period” within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act or, (viii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement the Offer in any manner adverse to the holders of Common Stock or in any manner that materially delays or unreasonably interferes with, hinders or impairs the consummation of the Offer. The Offer may not be terminated prior to its scheduled Expiration Time, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII.

(c) The Offer shall initially expire at midnight (New York City time) (i.e., one minute after 11:59 p.m. New York City time) on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days (calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) following the commencement of the Offer (such initial expiration date and time of the Offer, the “Initial Expiration Time”) or, if the Offer has been extended pursuant to and in accordance with Section 1.1(d), the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Time, or such later expiration date and time to which the Offer has been so extended, the “Expiration Time”).

(d) Subject to Article VII, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer on one or more occasions, (i) for the minimum period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC, the staff thereof or the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Nasdaq”) applicable to the Offer and (ii) if, at the then-scheduled Expiration Time, any of the Offer Conditions has not been satisfied or waived by Parent and Merger Sub (to the extent such waiver is permitted under this Agreement and applicable Law), in consecutive increments of at least five Business Days each (with each such period to end at midnight (New York City time) (i.e., one minute after 11:59 p.m. New York City time), on the last Business Day of such period), or such other duration as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company, in order to permit the satisfaction of such Offer Condition(s); provided, however, that (A) in either case, Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer to a date later than the Outside Date, (B) any such extension shall not be deemed to impair, limit, or otherwise restrict in any manner the rights of the parties hereto to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Article VII, and (C) with respect to clause (ii) above, if, at any such scheduled Expiration Time, the only Offer Condition that has not been so satisfied or waived is the Minimum Condition, then Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer for more than one such additional five Business Day increment (and shall not be required to extend the Offer at any subsequent Expiration Time at which the Minimum Condition is not satisfied), but shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to extend the Offer for more than one such additional five Business Day increment.

(e) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, (i) at or as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Time, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, irrevocably accept for payment (the time of acceptance for payment, the “Offer Acceptance Time”) all shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and (ii) at or as promptly as practicable following the Offer Acceptance Time (but in any event within three Business Days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) thereafter) Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall

3

cause Merger Sub to, pay for all shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub, on a timely basis, the funds necessary to purchase any shares of Common Stock that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer and shall cause Merger Sub to fulfill all of Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement.

(f) The Offer Price payable in respect of each share of Common Stock shall be paid on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. The Company agrees that no shares of Common Stock held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be tendered pursuant to the Offer.

(g) Unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VII, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Time without the prior written consent of the Company in its sole discretion. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VII, Merger Sub shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) following such termination irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer and shall not acquire any shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto. If the Offer or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Agreement, Merger Sub shall promptly return, or cause any depositary acting on behalf of Merger Sub to promptly return, all tendered shares of Common Stock to the tendering stockholders in accordance with applicable Law.

(h) The Offer Price shall be adjusted appropriately and proportionately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other similar change with respect to the Common Stock occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and at or prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, and such adjustment to the Offer Price shall provide to the holders of shares of Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.

(i) On the date of commencement of the Offer (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act), Parent and Merger Sub shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”), which shall contain or incorporate by reference an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal and other appropriate ancillary offer documents (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”), and cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to the holders of the Common Stock as and to the extent required by United States federal securities Laws. The Company shall promptly furnish or otherwise make available to Parent or Parent’s legal counsel upon request all information concerning the Company that is required by the Exchange Act or other applicable Law to be set forth in the Offer Documents, and all other information concerning the Company that may be reasonably requested by Parent for inclusion in the Offer Documents. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information supplied by it or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such

4

information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and each of Parent and Merger Sub shall take all steps necessary and use all reasonable efforts to promptly amend or supplement the Offer Documents and to cause the Offer Documents as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of the Common Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the Company upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Offer Documents, and shall promptly provide the Company with copies of all written correspondence and summaries of all material oral communications between them and their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. Unless there has been an Adverse Recommendation Change, prior to the filing of the Offer Documents and any amendment or supplement thereto with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the holders of the Common Stock, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents or amendment or supplement or response, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments. Unless the Offer has been terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that Parent or Merger Sub receives any comments from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents, each shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) respond promptly to such comments and (ii) take all other actions necessary to resolve the issues raised therein.

(a) The Company hereby approves of and consents to the Offer, the Merger and the other Merger Transactions.

(b) On the date the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC, the Company shall, concurrently with or immediately following, and in any event on the same Business Day as, the filing of the Schedule TO, file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) containing, subject to Section 5.4, the Company Board Recommendation and shall disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 to the holders of the Common Stock as and to the extent required by United States federal securities Laws, including Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act. The Schedule 14D-9 shall also contain and constitute the notice to holders of Common Stock of the availability of appraisal rights in connection with the Merger required to be delivered to such holders by Section 262(d) of the DGCL. The Company shall set the record date for the holders of Common Stock to receive such notice of appraisal rights as the same date as the Stockholder List Date and shall disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 including such notice of appraisal rights to such holders to the extent required by Section 262(d) of the DGCL. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish or otherwise make available to the Company or the Company’s legal counsel upon request all information concerning Parent, Merger Sub and the Guarantor that is required by the Exchange Act or other applicable Law to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9, and all other information concerning the Parent, Merger Sub and the Guarantor that may be reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9. Each of the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub shall promptly correct any information supplied by it or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation

5

by reference in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company shall take all steps necessary and use all reasonable efforts to promptly amend or supplement the Schedule 14D-9 and to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of the Common Stock, in each case as soon as and to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company shall promptly notify Parent upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Schedule 14D-9, and shall promptly provide Parent with copies of all written correspondence and summaries of all material oral communications between the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. Prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendment or supplement thereto (that does not contain or relate to a Takeover Proposal or an Adverse Recommendation Change) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the holders of the Common Stock, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to such Schedule 14D-9, the Company shall provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9 or amendment or supplement or response, and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation contained in the Schedule 14D-9, to the extent that the Company Board Recommendation has not been withdrawn, amended or modified in accordance with Section 5.4. Unless the Offer has been terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Company receives any comments from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, it shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) respond promptly to such comments and (ii) take all other actions necessary to resolve the issues raised therein.

The date of the list of stockholders used to determine the Persons to whom the Offer Documents and the Schedule 14D-9 are first disseminated is referred to as the “Stockholder List Date”. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Merger Transactions, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates and Representatives shall use the information contained in any such labels, listings and files only in connection with the Merger Transactions, shall treat such information and materials in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement, and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, will deliver to the Company or destroy (at the Company’s election) all copies of such information then in their possession or under their control promptly upon the written request of the Company.

Section 2.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub or the Company:

(a) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Certain Shares. Each share of Common Stock owned by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Merger Sub immediately before the Effective Time or that was irrevocably accepted for purchase by Merger Sub in the Offer (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) shall be canceled automatically and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid for those Excluded Shares.

(c) Conversion of Common Stock.

(i) Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest and subject to any required withholding of Taxes.

8

(ii) All shares of Common Stock that have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) shall be canceled automatically and shall cease to exist, and the holders of (A) certificates which immediately before the Effective Time represented such shares (the “Certificates”) or (B) shares represented by book-entry immediately before the Effective Time (the “Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect to those shares, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2 and any dividends or other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been authorized by the Company and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.

(d) Equitable Adjustment. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall occur as a result of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other similar change with respect to the Common Stock, then the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

Section 2.2 Surrender of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares.

(a) Paying Agent. Not less than three Business Days before the Closing Date, Parent shall (i) select a bank or trust company, satisfactory to the Company in its reasonable discretion, to act as the paying agent for the payment of the amounts to be paid pursuant to this Article II (the “Paying Agent”) and (ii) enter into a paying agent agreement with the Paying Agent on terms and conditions that are satisfactory to the Company in its reasonable discretion. Parent shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Paying Agent.

(b) Payment Fund. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, for payment in accordance with this Article II through the Paying Agent, sufficient funds for the payment of (i) the aggregate Merger Consideration and (ii) the aggregate amount payable by the Company under Section 2.3, which amount shall then be paid by the Paying Agent to the Surviving Corporation. Such funds provided to the Paying Agent are referred to as the “Payment Fund”.

(c) Payment Procedures.

(i) Letter of Transmittal. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail the following to each holder of record of a share of Common Stock converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i): (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form, specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such holder’s shares shall pass only upon proper delivery of Certificates to the Paying Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal; and (B) instructions for surrendering such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration.

9

(ii) Surrender of Shares. Upon surrender of a Certificate or of a Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and any other documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent, the holder of that Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay in exchange therefor, the Merger Consideration payable and issuable in respect of the number of shares formerly evidenced by that Certificate or such Book-Entry Share less any required withholding of Taxes. Any Certificates and Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall be canceled immediately. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any amount payable upon surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

(iii) Unregistered Transferees. If any Merger Consideration is to be paid and issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, then the Merger Consideration may be paid or issued to such a transferee so long as (A) the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, shall be properly endorsed and presented to the Paying Agent or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and is accompanied by all documents reasonably required by Parent to evidence and effect that transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment or issuance (x) pays any applicable transfer Taxes or (y) establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent and the Paying Agent that all such transfer Taxes have already been paid or are not applicable.

(iv) No Other Rights. Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.2(c), each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share in respect of shares of Common Stock converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay any dividends or other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been authorized by the Company and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time. The Merger Consideration paid and issued upon the surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Certificate or Book-Entry Share and, in the case of a Certificate, the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by it.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate is 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 reasonably required by the Surviving Corporation, the execution and delivery by such Person of a customary indemnity agreement to provide indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall pay and issue the Merger Consideration to such Person in respect of the shares of Common Stock represented by such Certificate as contemplated by this Article II.

(e) No Further Transfers. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately before the Effective Time.

10

(f) Required Withholding. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement (pursuant to Article I, this Article II, or otherwise) such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including any successor provisions and transition rules, whether or not codified (the “Code”), or any applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, those amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made for all purposes under this Agreement.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the parties hereto, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(h) Investment of Payment Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest the Payment Fund as directed by Parent; provided, that such investment shall be in (i) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America, (ii) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest, (iii) short-term commercial paper rated the highest quality by either ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services, (iv) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers’ acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion, or (v) mutual funds investing solely in such assets. Any such investment shall be for the benefit, and at the risk, of Parent, and any interest or other income resulting from such investment shall be for the benefit of Parent; provided, that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and Parent shall promptly provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to promptly provide, additional funds to the Paying Agent for the benefit of such holders of Common Stock in the amount of any such losses to the extent necessary to satisfy the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Article II.

(i) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Paying Agent to Parent upon demand. Thereafter, any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who has not complied with this Article II shall look only to Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation, which shall remain responsible for payment and issuance of the applicable Merger Consideration.

Section 2.3 Company Equity Awards.

(a) As of the Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Common Stock granted under the Company Equity Plans (each, a “Company Option”) and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time, whether or not then exercisable or vested, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of that Company Option, shall be canceled and converted into the right to

(i) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary or appropriate action to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 2.3.

Section 2.4 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.4), any shares of Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and for which the holder thereof is entitled to demand and properly demands the appraisal of such shares in accordance with, and complies in all respects with, the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1(c).

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares effectively withdraws or loses such appraisal rights (through failure to perfect such appraisal rights or otherwise), then that holder’s shares (i) shall be deemed no longer to be Dissenting Shares and (ii) shall be treated as if they had been converted automatically at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon adherence to the procedures set forth in Section 2.2(c).

(c) The Company shall give Parent (i) notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Common Stock, the withdrawals of such demands and any other instrument served on the Company under the DGCL relating to stockholders’ appraisal rights and (ii) the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands for appraisal.

(c) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Offer Acceptance Time, the Company shall advise Parent orally and in writing of (i) the receipt of any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry (including requests 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) that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions thereof (including the identity of the Person making such Takeover Proposal or inquiry providing, in reasonable detail and to the extent known, the identity of the party in interest) and (ii) any material changes or modifications to the financial or other material terms and conditions of such Takeover Proposal, in each case also providing to Parent a copy of each written Takeover Proposal and any written changes or modifications thereto, and in each case as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event within one Business Day after the Company’s receipt thereof. The Company also shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a prompt basis as to the status (including changes to the material terms) of each such Takeover Proposal or inquiry and any related material discussions or negotiations.

(d) Except as set forth in Section 5.4(e), Section 5.4(f) and Section 5.4(g), the Company Board (or a committee thereof) shall not (i) withdraw, modify or amend, or publicly propose to withdraw, modify or amend, the Company Board Recommendation in any manner adverse to Parent, (ii) approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse or recommend, a Takeover Proposal, (iii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 or, if any Takeover Proposal has been made public, fail to reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation upon request of Parent within the earlier of three Business Days prior to the then scheduled expiration date or five Business Days after Parent requests such reaffirmation with respect to such Takeover Proposal (any action described in clauses (i) through (iii) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (iv) approve, recommend or allow the Company to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle or Contract relating to a Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) (an “Acquisition Agreement”).

(e) Notwithstanding Section 5.4(d) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company Board may, at any time before the Offer Acceptance Time and in response to a Superior Proposal received by the Company Board after the date of this Agreement (x) make an Adverse Recommendation Change or (y) terminate this Agreement to enter into an Acquisition Agreement or authorize, resolve, agree or propose publicly to take any such action, but only if:

(i) the Superior Proposal was not solicited and the Company did not otherwise breach any of its obligations under Section 5.4(a) in any material respect;

(ii) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal and financial advisors, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties;

(iii) the Company shall have first provided at least four Business Days’ prior written notice (the “Notice Period”) to Parent that the Company is prepared to (A) make an Adverse Recommendation Change or (B) terminate this Agreement to enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, which notice shall include the material terms and conditions of and a copy of the written definitive agreements providing for the transaction that constitutes such Superior Proposal;

46

(iv) during the Notice Period, the Company has negotiated with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to so negotiate) to enable Parent to propose in writing such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal; and

(v) following the end of the Notice Period (it being understood and agreed that any material change to the financial or other material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal shall require an additional notice to Parent and a new three Business Day period), and after considering such negotiations and any adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents that have been agreed to in writing by Parent, the Company Board has determined in good faith that, after consultation with its financial advisor, such Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal.

(f) Notwithstanding Section 5.4(d) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company Board may, at any time before the Offer Acceptance Time, make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event, but only if:

(i) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties;

(ii) the Company shall have first provided prior written notice to Parent for at least the duration of the Notice Period that the Company is prepared to make an Adverse Recommendation Change, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the Intervening Event and the basis upon which the Company proposes to make an Adverse Recommendation Change;

(iii) during the Notice Period, the Company has negotiated with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent has requested to so negotiate) for a period of not less than three Business Days to enable Parent to propose in writing such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents so that the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change would no longer be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties; and

(iv) following the end of the Notice Period, and after considering such negotiations and any adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents that have been agreed to in writing by Parent, the Company Board has determined that, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change continues to be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties.

47

(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company, the Company Board or any committee or subcommittee thereof from complying with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if the Company Board determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties or such disclosure is otherwise required under applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the issuance of a “stop, look and listen” statement (or other similar statement pursuant to any requirement of applicable Law) constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change.

Section 5.5 Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) As of the Effective Time and through December 31, 2019 (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, provide to each individual who is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and who remains employed by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates (each, an “Employee”) (i) a base salary or an hourly wage rate, as applicable, that is not less than that provided to such Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) cash incentive pay opportunities for performance periods ending during the Continuation Period, including bonus and commission opportunities, but not including equity and equity-based awards, that are not less than those provided to such Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) other compensation and employee benefits (excluding equity and equity-based awards) that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than those provided to such Employee under the compensation and employee benefit plans, programs, policies, agreements, arrangements and practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, after the Effective Time, nothing herein shall preclude the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates from terminating the employment of any Employee for any lawful reason, or from entering into an agreement with an Employee to accept compensation other than as provided in this Section 5.5(a).

(b) Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall treat, and shall cause each plan, agreement, program, policy and arrangement sponsored or maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates following the Effective Time and in which any Employee (or the spouse, domestic partner or dependent of any Employee) participates or is eligible to participate (each, a “New Plan”) to treat, for all purposes (but not for benefit accrual purposes, except for paid time off and severance), all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries (and any predecessor employers if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Company Benefit Plan provides past service credit) as service with Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates; provided, however, that such service need not be counted to the extent it would result in duplication of benefits and such service need only be credited to same extent and for the same purpose as such service was credited under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each New Plan that is a welfare benefit plan, within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, (i) to waive any and all eligibility waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements, evidence of insurability requirements, pre-existing condition limitations and other

48

exclusions and limitations regarding the Employees and their spouses, domestic partners and dependents to the extent waived, satisfied or not included under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan, and (ii) to recognize for each Employee for purposes of applying annual deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums under such New Plan any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses paid by such Employee and his or her spouse, domestic partner and dependents under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan during the plan year of such Company Benefit Plan in which occurs the later of the Effective Time and the date on which such Employee begins participating in such New Plan.

(c) With respect to any earned but unused paid time off (“PTO”) or PTO time to which any Employee is entitled pursuant to the PTO policy or individual agreement or other arrangement applicable to such Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, (i) allow such Employee to use such earned PTO and (ii) if any Employee’s employment terminates during the Continuation Period under circumstances entitling the Employee to severance pay, or as otherwise required by applicable Law, pay the Employee, in cash, an amount equal to the value of the earned and unused PTO.

(d) Nothing in this Section 5.5, whether express or implied, shall confer upon any current or former employee of the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, any rights or remedies including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.5. No provision of this Section 5.5 is intended to modify, amend or create any employee benefit plan of the Company, Parent, Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

Section 5.6 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Related Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, in each case to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, (i) indemnify and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) with respect to all claims, Liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any Legal Action (including as may be administrative or investigative), whenever asserted, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, (A) the fact that an Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or such Subsidiary or was acting in such capacity, or (B) acts or omissions by an Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or such Subsidiary or taken at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary as a representative of another Person (including any employee benefit plan)), in each case under clause (A) or (B), at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any Legal Action (including as may be administrative or investigative) relating in whole or in part to the Merger Transactions or relating to the enforcement of this provision) and (ii) assume all obligations

49

of the Company and such Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from Liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in the Company Organizational Documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement or in any agreement in existence as of the date of this Agreement providing for indemnification between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent, from and after the Effective Time, shall cause, unless otherwise required by Law, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Company Organizational Documents, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees for a period of six years after the Effective Time.

(b) In the event of any Legal Action (including as may be administrative or investigative) related to the acts or omissions covered under this Section 5.6 (each, a “Claim”) (i) the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnitee and its insurer in the defense of any such Claim and (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Claim pending or threatened in writing to which an Indemnitee is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnitee hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all Liability arising out of such Claim or the Indemnitee otherwise consents.

(c) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, maintain in effect for at least six years after the Effective Time the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company on terms and scope with respect to coverage, and in amount, no less favorable to its covered individuals than those of such policies in effect on the date of this Agreement, or policies, issued by a reputable insurer at least equivalent to the insurer(s) of the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance, of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger Transactions) so long as Parent and the Surviving Corporation are not required to pay an annual premium in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance before the date of this Agreement (such 300% amount being the “Maximum Premium”). If Parent or the Surviving Corporation are unable to obtain the insurance described in the prior sentence for an amount less than or equal to the Maximum Premium, then Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, instead obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of the arrangements contemplated by this Section 5.6(c), before the Effective Time and in consultation with Parent, the Company shall be entitled to, and at the request of Parent shall, purchase “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies covering the matters described in this Section 5.6(c) and on like terms, scope and amount (and covering, without limitation, the Merger Transactions) and, if the Company purchases

50

such policies before the Effective Time, then Parent and the Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 5.6(c) shall be satisfied so long as Parent and the Surviving Corporation cause such policies to be maintained in effect for a period of six years following the Effective Time.

(d) The covenants contained in this Section 5.6 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnitees and their respective heirs and legal representatives and shall not be deemed exclusive of, or in substitution for, any other rights to which an Indemnitee is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.6 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.6 applies unless (i) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (ii) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.6 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.6).

(e) In the event that Parent or 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, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall take all necessary action so that the successors or assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.6.

Section 5.7 Reasonable Best Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with applicable Law, each of the parties to this Agreement shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, 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, proper or advisable to ensure that, as promptly as practicable, the Offer Conditions and the conditions set forth in Article VI are satisfied and to consummate the Merger Transactions as promptly as practicable, including by preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents. The terms of this Section 5.7 shall not limit the rights of the Company set forth in Section 5.4.

Section 5.8 Consents; Filings; Further Action.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with applicable Law, each of the parties to this Agreement shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to promptly (i) obtain any consents, approvals, registrations, waivers, permits, orders or other authorizations from, and make any filings and notifications with, any Governmental Authority or third party necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger Transactions, (ii) make any other submissions necessary, proper or advisable in connection with the Merger Transactions under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the HSR Act, the DGCL, the Nasdaq rules and regulations and any other applicable Law and (iii) take or cause to be taken all other actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable consistent with this Section 5.8 to cause the expiration of the

51

applicable waiting periods, or receipt of required consents, approvals or authorizations, as applicable, under such Laws as soon as practicable. Parent and the Company shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all such filings and notifications, including by providing copies of all relevant documents to the non-filing party and its advisors before filing. Parent shall not consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or waiting period or to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the behest of any Governmental Authority without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall file and not withdraw any Notification and Report Forms and related material required to be filed by it with the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice, as applicable, with respect to the Merger Transactions (which shall request the early termination of any waiting period applicable to the Merger Transactions under the HSR Act), and shall promptly make any further filings pursuant thereto that may be necessary, proper or advisable.

(c) Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly inform the other party upon receipt of any communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the Merger Transactions. If Parent or the Company (or any of their respective Affiliates) receives a request for additional information from any Governmental Authority that is related to the Merger Transactions, then such party shall endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, to the extent practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response to such request as promptly as reasonably practicable. No party shall participate in any meeting or engage in any material substantive conversation with any Governmental Authority related to the Merger Transactions without giving the other party prior notice of the meeting or conversation and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend or participate. Parent shall advise the Company promptly of any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) which Parent proposes to make or enter into with any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger Transactions. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve any objections that may be asserted with respect to the Merger Transactions under any antitrust, competition or trade regulatory Law, including the HSR Act, as promptly as practicable.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall take, and shall cause its Affiliates to take (and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and its Affiliates shall be permitted to take, without affecting any representation, warranty, covenant or condition in this Agreement), any action reasonably necessary to avoid the entry or to effect the dissolution of, or vacate or lift, any Order that would otherwise have the effect of preventing, impairing or delaying the consummation of the Merger Transactions, or to resolve any objections as the Federal Trade Commission, the United States Department of Justice or any other Governmental Authority may assert under any Law with respect to the Merger Transactions and to obtain any clearance required under the HSR Act, or any other approval, consent or authorization necessary under applicable Law for the consummation of the Merger Transactions, including

52

(i) (A) selling, licensing, divesting or disposing of or holding separate any non-material entities, assets or businesses (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), (B) terminating, amending or assigning existing non-material relationships or contractual rights or obligations, (C) changing or modifying any course of conduct regarding future operations in non-material respects, (D) otherwise taking actions that would limit their respective freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of their respective non-material businesses, assets or rights or interests therein, and (E) committing to take any such actions in the foregoing clauses (A) through (D) (each, a “Divestiture Action”) and (ii) defending through litigation any Legal Action brought or threatened to be brought by any Person (including any Governmental Authority) in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated, lifted or terminated, any Order that would prevent the consummation of the Merger Transactions from occurring prior to the Outside Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist Parent in resisting and reducing any Divestiture Action, and the Company and its Affiliates shall not, and shall not permit any of its or their Representatives to, offer or agree to any Divestiture Action without the prior written consent of Parent. Parent shall not require the Company or its Subsidiaries to, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to, take any action with respect to any Order or any applicable Law which would bind the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time or in the event the Merger does not occur.

Section 5.9 Public Announcements. The initial press release regarding the Merger Transactions shall be a joint press release by the Company and Parent. Unless and until an Adverse Recommendation Change has occurred, Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements about this Agreement or any of the Merger Transactions and shall give each other reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any such release or statement. Neither Parent nor the Company shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except to the extent required by applicable Law, Order, Canadian securities Laws, Toronto Stock Exchange requirements or the Nasdaq requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to consult with Parent in connection with, or provide Parent an opportunity to review or comment upon, any press release or other public statement or comment to be issued or made with respect to any Takeover Proposal or with respect to any actions contemplated by Section 5.4(e), Section 5.4(f) or Section 5.4(g). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.9 shall not apply to any press release or other public statement (a) that contains substantially similar information that has been previously announced or made public in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (b) is made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and does not relate specifically to the signing of this Agreement or the Merger Transactions.

Section 5.10 Fees and Expenses. Except as explicitly provided otherwise in this Agreement, whether or not the Merger is consummated, all expenses (including those payable to Representatives) incurred by any party to this Agreement or on its behalf in connection with this Agreement and the Merger Transactions (“Expenses”) shall be paid by the party incurring those Expenses.

53

Section 5.11 Financing. Prior to the Closing Date, upon Parent’s request, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to, and to cause its Subsidiaries to use reasonable efforts to, prior to or at, and conditioned upon, the occurrence of the Closing, deliver all notices and take all other actions required to facilitate the termination of commitments under the Credit Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2014, among PMI Holdings, Inc., as borrower, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for the lenders party thereto (as successor to Antares Capital LP (as successor to General Electric Capital Corporation)) (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, restated or amended and restated from time to time, including by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2016, and the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2018, the “Subject Indebtedness”), the repayment in full of all obligations then outstanding thereunder and the release of all Liens in connection therewith on the Closing Date, and deliver to Parent prior to or at the Closing a customary payoff letter in respect of the Subject Indebtedness (the “Payoff Letter”), which Payoff Letter shall (i) indicate the total amount required to be paid to fully satisfy all principal, interest, prepayment premiums, penalties, breakage costs or other similar obligations related to the Subject Indebtedness as of the Closing Date (the “Payoff Amount”) and (ii) state that all obligations (including guarantees) in respect thereof (other than those contingent indemnification obligations that customarily remain following termination of a credit agreement) and Liens in connection therewith on the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be, substantially concurrently with the receipt of the Payoff Amount on the Closing Date, released or arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Parent for such release shall have been made by such time; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the delivery of the Payoff Letter pursuant to this paragraph by the Company to Parent shall not be a condition to the Closing, and the Offer and the Closing are not conditioned upon Parent receiving such Payoff Letter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all such requested cooperation provided in accordance with this Section 5.11 shall not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to bear any cost or expense other than de minimis cost or expenses, pay any commitment or other fee, enter into any definitive agreement, incur any other Liability, make any other payment or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with any of the foregoing prior to the Effective Time. In addition, nothing in this Section 5.11 shall require any action that would conflict with or violate the Company Organizational Documents or any Law or result in, prior to the Effective Time, the contravention of, or that would reasonably be expected to result in, prior to the Effective Time, a violation or breach of, or default under, any Contract to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is a party.

The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company in the defense and settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company or its directors or officers relating to this Agreement or the Merger Transactions, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall otherwise fully control the defense and settlement of any such stockholder litigation.

Section 5.16 Takeover Laws. The Company and Parent shall each use its reasonable best efforts to (a) take all action necessary to ensure that no Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to any of the Merger Transactions and refrain from taking any actions that would cause the applicability of such Laws and (b) if the restrictions of any Takeover Law become applicable to any of the Merger Transactions, take all action necessary to ensure that the Merger Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise lawfully minimize the effect of such Takeover Law on the Merger Transactions.

Section 8.8 Amendment. Subject to compliance with applicable Law, at any time prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented in any and all respects by written agreement of the parties hereto; provided that following the Offer Acceptance Time, this Agreement may not be amended in any manner that causes the Merger Consideration to differ from the Offer Price. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented after the Effective Time.

Section 8.9 Extension; Waiver. At any time before the Offer Acceptance Time, Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered under this Agreement or (c) subject to applicable Law, waive compliance by the other party with any of the covenants or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such party. The failure of any party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement.

Section 8.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and Annexes hereto), the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Support Agreements, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Guarantee constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, correspondence, undertakings, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 8.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except (a) as provided in Section 5.6, Section 7.6(e), Section 8.15 and Section 8.17, (b) if the Offer Acceptance Time occurs, for the rights of holders of Common Stock that validly tendered their shares in the Offer to receive the Offer Price in respect of such shares and (c) if the Effective Time occurs, for the rights of the holders of Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration and for the rights of the holders of Company Equity Awards to receive such amounts as provided for in Section 2.3, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other party hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein.

Section 8.12 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of that provision to any Person or any circumstance, is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then (a) the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of that provision, or the application of that provision, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.13 Rules of Construction. The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. If an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Subject to and without limiting the

70

introductory language to Article III, the Company has or may have set forth information in the Company Disclosure Schedule in a section of such Company Disclosure Schedule that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not constitute an admission by the Company that such item is material, that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to result in any Company Material Adverse Effect or that the disclosure of such be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

Section 8.14 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns. No party to this Agreement may assign or delegate, by operation of Law or otherwise, all or any portion of its rights or Liabilities under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement, which any such party may withhold in its absolute discretion. No assignment by any party shall relieve such party of any of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment not permitted hereby shall be null and void.

Section 8.15 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties to this Agreement agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies (including those as set forth in Section 7.6) would not be an adequate remedy for any such non-performance or breach. It is accordingly agreed that, subject to Section 8.15(b), the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Chosen Courts, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and the parties to this Agreement hereby waive any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that or otherwise assert that (i) the other party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.15(a), the right of the Company to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with enforcing Parent’s obligation to fund the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration and Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to cause the Offer Acceptance Time to occur and to effect the Closing (but not the right of the Company to seek such injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief for any other reason) shall be subject to the requirements that (i) all of the Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Offer Acceptance Time, but subject to such conditions being able to be satisfied) or waived at the Expiration Time, and (ii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed that it would take such actions required of it by this Agreement to cause the Closing to occur.

Section 8.16 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, as if the signatures to each counterpart were upon a single instrument, and all such counterparts together shall be deemed an original of this Agreement. Facsimile signatures or signatures received as a pdf attachment to electronic mail shall be treated as original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when, and only when, each party hereto shall have received a counterpart signed by all of the other parties hereto.

Section 8.17 Non-Recourse. All claims or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, at law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Merger Transactions or the negotiation, execution, performance or non-performance of this Agreement or the Merger Transactions (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or the Merger Transactions) may be made by any party hereto only against the Persons that are expressly identified as parties hereto or thereto. In no event shall any named party to this Agreement have any shared or vicarious liability for the actions or omissions of any other Person. No Person who is not a named party to this Agreement, including any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Representative of any named party to this Agreement that is not itself a named party to this Agreement (“Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, at law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) to any party to this Agreement for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation or execution; and each party hereto waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Non-Party Affiliates are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8.17.

Annex I

Offer Conditions

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or the Offer and subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, Merger Sub shall not be required to (and Parent shall not be required to cause Merger Sub to) accept for payment or pay for, and, subject to such rules and regulations, may delay the acceptance for payment or payment for, any shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and may terminate or amend the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, if any of the following conditions exist or have occurred and are continuing at the scheduled Expiration Time of the Offer:

(a) Minimum Condition. The number of shares of Common Stock validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) prior to the expiration of the Offer (but excluding shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received” by the “depository,” as such terms are defined by Section 251(h)(6) of the DGCL), together with any shares of Common Stock otherwise owned by Merger Sub or its Affiliates, do not represent at least one share more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Minimum Condition”).

(b) Orders. Any Law or Order shall be in effect enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Offer or the Merger. There shall not be instituted and pending any Legal Action of any kind or character by any Governmental Authority against Parent, the Company, or their respective Affiliates challenging or seeking to make illegal, to delay materially or otherwise directly or indirectly to enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Merger.

(c) Governmental Consents. The waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Offer and the Merger under the HSR Act shall not have expired or early termination thereof shall not have been granted and there shall not be in effect any voluntary agreement between the Company and the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice pursuant to which the Company has agreed not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any period of time that has not yet passed.

(d) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company (i) set forth in Section 3.12(b) shall not be true and correct in all respects as of the date of the Agreement and as of the Expiration Time with the same effect as though made as of the Expiration Time, (ii) set forth in Section 3.8(a), Section 3.8(c) and Section 3.8(g) shall not be true and correct in all respects, other than inaccuracies that are de minimis in amount (meaning that such inaccuracies, collectively, would not result in more than a de minimis increase in the aggregate consideration payable by Parent and Merger Sub as contemplated by Article I and Article II of the Agreement), as of the date of the Agreement and as of the Expiration Time with the same effect as though made as of the Expiration Time (except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date), (iii) set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.3, Section 3.4, Section 3.30 and Section 3.31

(e) Compliance with Covenants. The Company shall not have complied with or performed in all material respects its obligations required to be complied with or performed by it prior to the Expiration Time under the Agreement and such failure to comply or perform shall not have been cured by the Expiration Time.

(f) Company Material Adverse Effect Condition. Since the date of the Agreement there shall have been any effect, change, event or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(g) No Termination of Agreement. The Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms.

(h) Certificate. Parent shall not have received a certificate signed on behalf of the Company by an executive officer of the Company, certifying that none of the conditions set forth in clause (d), (e) or (f) hereof shall be continuing as of the Expiration Time.

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Merger Sub and, other than the Minimum Condition, may be waived by Parent and Merger Sub in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in their respective sole discretion, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The failure by Parent, Merger Sub or any other Affiliate of Parent at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, the waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

The capitalized terms used in this Annex I shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement to which it is annexed unless specifically defined in this Annex I.
