ARTICLE 2

THE MERGER

Section 2.01. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the CGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), and as a result thereof the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). As a result of the Merger, the Surviving Corporation shall become a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent.

Section 2.02. Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the third Business Day following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefits thereof of the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing itself, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of those conditions), by electronic exchange of documents, or at such place or such other time or date as shall be agreed in writing between Parent and the Company; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefits thereof of the conditions set forth in Article 6, Parent and Merger Sub shall not be obligated to effect the Closing prior to the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the day the Company has provided to Parent and Merger Sub the Required Information, unless Parent shall provide written notice of an earlier date (but, subject in each such case, to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefits thereof of all of the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing itself, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of those conditions); provided further, if the Required Information is deemed not to have been provided as a result of a Required Information Trigger Event during the period between the provision of such Required Information and the Closing, a new five (5) Business Day period shall commence upon cure of the applicable Required Information Trigger Event as indicated therein. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

Section 2.03. Effective Time. As soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the Parties shall (a) cause an agreement of merger (the “Agreement of Merger”), in such form as is appropriate under the CGCL, to be duly executed by the Company and Merger Sub and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California (the “California Secretary”), together with the officers’ certificates required by the CGCL, and (b) make any other filings or recordings required to be made by the Company or Merger Sub under the CGCL in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Agreement of Merger is duly filed with the California Secretary or on such later date and time as shall be agreed to by the Company and Parent and specified in the Agreement of Merger (the date and time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”), it being understood and agreed that the Parties shall cause the Effective Time to occur on the Closing Date.

Section 2.04. Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and specified in the applicable provisions of the CGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation and all debts, liabilities, and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.05. Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) At the Effective Time, the amended and restated articles of incorporation of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated to be the articles of incorporation of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (provided that the name of the Surviving Corporation will be “Ixia”), and as so amended and restated shall thereafter be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with their terms and as provided by applicable Law (subject to Section 5.06).

(b) At the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated to be the bylaws of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (provided that the name of the Surviving Corporation will be “Ixia”), and as so amended and restated shall thereafter be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with their terms and as provided by applicable Law (subject to Section 5.06).

Section 2.06. Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Law, (a) the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and (b) the individuals appointed by Parent prior to or as of the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.07. Conversion of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company or any holder of any securities of any of the foregoing:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub, without par value, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, without par value.

(b) Cancellation of Parent-Owned Company Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock that is owned by Parent or Merger Sub, or by any Subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub, or the Company, immediately prior to the Effective Time (except to the extent held by any such Person on behalf of a third party) (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”), shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no cash, stock, or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and

Dissenting Shares) shall automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount, without interest, equal to $19.65 (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares (a “Certificate”) or book-entry shares (“Book-Entry Shares”) (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except, in all cases, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest, in accordance with Section 2.08. The right of any holder of any share of Company Common Stock to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be subject to and reduced by the amount of any withholding that is required under applicable Tax Law.

(d) Company Equity Awards. The Company shall take all requisite action so that:

(i) Treatment of Company Stock Options. Each option (or portion thereof) to purchase shares of Company Common Stock under the Company Equity Plan (“Company Stock Option”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, automatically and without any required action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder thereof or any other Person, become fully vested and be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive a cash payment with respect thereto equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such cancelled Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the excess, if any, of (1) the Per Share Merger Consideration over (2) the exercise price per share subject to such cancelled Company Stock Option, without interest (such amounts payable hereunder, the “Option Payments”); provided, however, that (x) any such Company Stock Option with respect to which the exercise price per share subject thereto is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be cancelled in exchange for no consideration and (y) such Option Payments may be reduced by the amount of any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.08(h). The Surviving Corporation shall cause each Option Payment to be paid, less any required Tax withholdings, as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (and not later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date on or after the fifth Business Day after the Effective Time) through its payroll systems. From and after the Effective Time, no Company Stock Option shall be outstanding, and each Company Stock Option shall only entitle the holder thereof to the payment provided for in this Section 2.07(d)(i).

(ii) Treatment of Company RSUs. Each restricted stock unit award granted pursuant to the Company Equity Plan, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Company RSU”) shall, at the Effective Time, automatically and without any required action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder thereof or any other Person, become fully vested and be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive, following the Effective Time, a cash payment with respect thereto equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest (such amounts payable hereunder, the “Company RSU Payments”); provided, however, that such Company RSU Payments may be reduced by the amount of any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.08(h). For purposes of clarification, if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a Company RSU remains subject to a performance-based vesting condition, such Company RSU shall, at such time and in accordance

with the terms thereof, become earned at the target performance level, and such Company RSU shall, at the Effective Time, become fully vested and be cancelled in the same manner as described in the preceding sentence. The Surviving Corporation shall cause each Company RSU Payment to be paid, less any required Tax withholdings, as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (and not later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date on or after the fifth Business Day after the Effective Time) through its payroll systems. From and after the Effective Time, no Company RSU shall be outstanding, and each Company RSU shall only entitle the holder thereof to the payment provided for in this Section 2.07(d)(ii).

(iii) Treatment of Company ESPP. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall take any actions, and the Board of Directors of the Company and/or the Compensation Committee thereof, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions, that are necessary to provide that with respect to the Company 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the “Company ESPP”): (A) participants in the Company ESPP may not alter their payroll deductions from those in effect on the date of this Agreement (other than to discontinue their participation in the Company ESPP) and no new participants may begin participating in the current offering period, (B) no offering period will be commenced after the date of this Agreement (it being understood that any offering period in effect on the date hereof may continue in accordance with its terms), (C) any offering period that is in effect as of the date of this Agreement shall be terminated effective as of the last day of the purchase period that is in effect as of the date of this Agreement or, if earlier, prior to the Effective Time, and all amounts then credited to the accounts of participants shall be used to purchase shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP, (D) the amount of the accumulated contributions of each participant under the Company ESPP as of the termination of the Company ESPP shall, to the extent not used to purchase shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the Company ESPP, be refunded to such participant as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (without interest and less any required Tax withholdings), and (E) the Company ESPP shall be terminated as of the Effective Time. To the extent such accumulated contributions are used to purchase shares of Company Common Stock, the purchased shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.07(c).

(iv) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take any actions, and the Board of Directors of the Company and/or the Compensation Committee thereof, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions, that are necessary to (A) effectuate the treatment of the Company Stock Options and the Company RSUs (collectively, the “Company Equity Awards”) and the Company ESPP as provided in this Section 2.07(d) and (B) cause the Company Equity Plan and the Company ESPP to terminate at or prior to the Effective Time, it being understood and agreed that from and after the Effective Time, no Company Equity Award holder shall have any right with respect to any Company Equity Award or otherwise under any Company Equity Plan, and no participant in the Company ESPP shall have any rights with respect to the Company ESPP, in each case other than to receive the payment provided for in this Section 2.07(d).

(e) Anti-Dilution. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a

different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, business combination, tender or exchange offer, readjustment or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within such period, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of shares of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount payable by Parent pursuant to Section 2.08 after giving effect to any such event exceed the amount that would have been payable pursuant to Section 2.08 had such event not occurred and (ii) nothing in this Section 2.07 shall permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.08. Disposition of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a U.S.-based nationally recognized bank or trust company, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration to the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock as provided in Section 2.07(c). Parent will enter into a paying agent agreement with the Paying Agent (the “Paying Agent Agreement”) on terms reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company prior to the Closing. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent cash in immediately available funds in the amount necessary for payment of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.07(c) and this Section 2.08 (such total deposited cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”). The Paying Agent shall make payments of the Per Share Merger Consideration out of the Payment Fund in accordance with this Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. As soon as reasonably practicable but no later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date on or after the fifth Business Day after the Effective Time, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Surviving Corporation in cash the amounts payable in respect of the Company Stock Options pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(i) and the Company RSUs pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(ii), and the Surviving Corporation shall disburse such amounts in accordance with Section 2.07(d)(i) and Section 2.07(d)(ii), respectively, to the extent the Surviving Corporation does not have the cash on hand to pay such amounts.

(b) Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares representing ownership of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have rights with respect to such shares except as otherwise provided for herein. From and after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares presented to the Paying Agent, Parent, or the Surviving Corporation for any reason (other than Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing Excluded Shares) shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(i) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass to the Paying Agent, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent, and which letter shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of any Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably required by Parent or the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount of cash in immediately available funds equal to (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) multiplied by (2) the Per Share Merger Consideration (less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.08(h)), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable pursuant to this Section 2.08.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any holder of Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article 2. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration shall upon receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other documentation or evidence, if any, as Parent or the Paying Agent may reasonably request), be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of each such share of Company Common Stock (less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.08(h)), and the Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled.

(d) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund which remains unclaimed for nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock prior to the Effective Time who have not theretofore complied with this Article 2 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for, and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for, payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration (subject to abandoned property, escheat, or similar Laws).

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or, the Paying Agent, or any employee, officer, director, agent, representative or, Affiliate thereof, shall be liable to any Person in respect of the Per Share Merger Consideration from the Payment Fund properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar Law.

(f) Investment of Payment Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest the Payment Fund as directed by Parent (on behalf of the Surviving Corporation); provided, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers’ acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $25 billion, or in funds investing solely in such obligations that provide for same day liquidity. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation or Parent (at Parent’s election). To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Payment Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt cash payments of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration as contemplated hereby, Parent shall promptly replace or restore the portion of the Payment Fund required so as to ensure that the Payment Fund is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments.

(g) 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 Parent or the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent or the Paying Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate the Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof, pursuant to this Agreement.

(h) Withholding Rights. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or the Paying Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local, or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(i) Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock, if any, as to which the holder thereof shall have (i) properly demanded that the Company purchase such shares of Company Common Stock for fair market value in accordance with, and otherwise complied with, the provisions of Chapter 13 of the CGCL (“Chapter 13”), and (ii) not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s rights to demand purchase for such shares of Company Common Stock for fair market value pursuant to Chapter 13 (each, a “Dissenting Share”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.07(c), but instead at the Effective Time shall become entitled only to payment from the Surviving Corporation of the fair value of such shares

of Company Common Stock determined in accordance with Chapter 13 (it being understood and acknowledged that at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled, and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares as determined in accordance with Chapter 13); provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw, or lose the right to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares under Chapter 13, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease, and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, without interest or duplication, the Per Share Merger Consideration. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company pursuant to Chapter 13, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the CGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair market value of Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and control all negotiations and Actions with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, or agree to do any of the foregoing. Any portion of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration paid to the Paying Agent to pay for shares that have become Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent upon demand, but solely with respect to Dissenting Shares that (A) the Surviving Corporation has become obligated to purchase for fair market value in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 13 pursuant to an Order of a Governmental Authority or (B) the Surviving Company has agreed with the holders of such Dissenting Shares to settle such demand to purchase such Dissenting Shares pursuant to an agreement between such parties.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (which Acquisition Proposal was made after the date of this Agreement and did not result from a breach of or deemed non-compliance with Section 5.02(a)) that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, the Company shall give Parent written notice of such determination promptly after the Board of Directors of the Company makes such determination (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after such determination) and, after the delivery of such written notice, the Company and its Representatives may (i) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement containing terms no less favorable to the disclosing party than those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (excluding any standstill agreement contained therein) (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”); provided, that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Person and (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such Acquisition Proposal.

of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books, or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Person that to the knowledge of the Company may be considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall be provided orally and in writing and shall provide the material terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal, indication, or request (including the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request, and copies of any related documentation, including any related financing commitments). Thereafter, the Company shall keep Parent promptly informed in writing on a reasonably current basis of the status of, and any material changes to, the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal (including providing Parent a notification in writing within twenty-four (24) hours following any determination by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to Section 5.02(b) or any material changes to the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal) and any discussions and negotiations concerning the material terms and conditions thereof.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02(e) and Section 5.02(f), the Board of Directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) shall not (i) (A) withdraw or publicly propose to withdraw, or modify or qualify (or public propose to modify or qualify) in any manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation, (B) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (C) if a tender offer or exchange offer that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal shall have been commenced by a person that is not affiliated with Parent or Merger Sub, fail to publish, send or give to its shareholders, pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act, within the ten Business day period after such tender offer or exchange offer is first published, sent or given, or subsequently amended in any material respect or withdraw, a statement recommending that shareholders reject such tender offer or exchange offer and affirm the Company Board Recommendation, or (D) approve, adopt or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, or propose publicly to approve, adopt or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal (any action in this clause (i), a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve, adopt or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, adopt or recommend, or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into any Contract or other agreement or understanding (written or oral, binding or non-binding, preliminary or definitive), other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement to the extent expressly permitted by Section 5.02(b), with any Person constituting or relating to, or that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, any Acquisition Proposal, or requiring, or reasonably expected to cause, the Company to abandon, terminate, delay or fail to consummate, or that would otherwise impede, interfere with or be inconsistent with this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, or requiring, or reasonably expected to cause, the Company to fail to comply with this Agreement (any such document, agreement or arrangement, an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval an Intervening Event has occurred, the Board of Directors of the Company may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if and only if it concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Board of Director’s fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the Company under applicable Law; provided, that the Board of Directors of the Company shall not be entitled to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change (under clauses (A) or (B) of the definition thereof) pursuant to this

Section 5.02(e) unless (i) the Company shall have provided Parent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action, which notice shall (A) state that an Intervening Event has occurred, and (B) specify the material facts and circumstances (based on information reasonably available) related to such Intervening Event, (ii) if requested by Parent, the Company and its Representatives shall have negotiated in good faith during such five (5) Business Day period following delivery of such written notice with Parent concerning any revisions to the terms of this Agreement that Parent proposes in response to such Intervening Event and (iii) after complying with clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 5.02(e), the Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that the failure to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the Board of Director’s fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the Company under applicable Law, after giving due consideration to any changes proposed to be made to this Agreement by Parent in writing.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, a written bona fide Acquisition Proposal that is first made after the date hereof and did not result from a breach of this Section 5.02 is made, and the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and the failure to approve or recommend such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with the Board of Director’s fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the Company under applicable Law, the Board of Directors of the Company may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or the Company may terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5.02(f) and Section 7.01(e), provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.02(f) or Section 7.01(e) unless the Company (i) has complied with and not breached its obligations under this Section 5.02, including its obligations set forth in Section 5.02(g), (ii) pays, or causes to be paid, to Parent the Company Termination Fee prior to or concurrently with such termination and (iii) concurrently with such termination, enters into a definitive written Alternative Acquisition Agreement that documents all the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Board of Directors shall not make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 5.02(f) and the Company shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.02(f) or Section 7.01(e) unless (i) the Company shall have provided Parent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action, which notice shall (A) state that the Company has received a Superior Proposal, (B) specify the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, including the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal, and (C) enclose the most recent draft of any agreements intended to be entered into with the Person making or providing such Superior Proposal (or any Affiliate of such Person), (ii) if requested by Parent, the Company and its Representatives shall have negotiated in good faith during such five (5) Business Day period following delivery of such written notice with Parent concerning any revisions to the terms of this Agreement that Parent proposes in response to such Superior Proposal and (iii) after complying with clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 5.02(g), the Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal, after giving due consideration to any changes

proposed to be made to this Agreement by Parent in a writing. The parties acknowledge and agree that, (A) if Parent, within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of the written notice referred to in this Section 5.02(g), makes a proposal that, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor), results in the applicable Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal, then the Board of Directors shall have no right to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 5.02(f) and the Company shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.02(f) or Section 7.01(e) as a result of such Acquisition Proposal, and (B) any (x) revisions to the financial terms or any other material terms of a Superior Proposal or (y) revisions to the financial terms or any other material terms to an Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of the Company had determined no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal, shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal and shall in each case require the Company to deliver to Parent a new written notice pursuant to this Section 5.02(g) and a new five (5) Business Day period shall commence thereafter; provided, however, that such new five (5) Business Day notice period shall be shortened to three (3) Business Days if the only change to the material terms of such Superior Proposal is an increase in (without any change to the form of) the per share merger consideration. The Board of Directors of the Company shall have no right to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 5.02(f) and the Company shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.02(f) or Section 7.01(e) unless it has complied with the procedures set forth in Section 5.02(f) and this Section 5.02(g).

(h) Nothing contained in this Section 5.02 shall prohibit the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law regarding an Acquisition Proposal, including (i) taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Board of Directors of the Company may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change except in compliance with this Section 5.02.

Parent in accordance with Section 5.02(g)), (B) is reasonably likely to be completed on a timely basis and does not contain any conditionality that is related to completion of due diligence or having obtained financing for the Superior Proposal, and (C) the financing of which is fully committed (provided that for the purpose of this definition, references to “20%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “75%”).

Section 5.03. Preparation of Proxy Statement; Shareholders Meeting.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event within twelve (12) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC in preliminary form the Proxy Statement. The Company shall promptly notify Parent upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC or any request from the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information, and shall promptly provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand.

(b) Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the Proxy Statement and shall otherwise assist and cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Proxy Statement and resolution of comments of the SEC or its staff related thereto. Parent will cause the information relating to Parent or Merger Sub supplied by it in writing expressly for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, at the time of the filing or mailing of the Proxy Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, and at the time of the Shareholders Meeting, not to 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) In accordance with applicable Law and the Company’s Organizational Documents, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, subject to the clearance of the Proxy Statement by the SEC, (i) establish a record date for and give notice of a meeting of its shareholders, for the purpose of voting for the approval of this Agreement (the “Shareholders Meeting”) and (ii) duly call, convene, and hold the Shareholders Meeting; provided, however, that (i) such meeting shall occur prior to the End Date and (ii) in no event shall such meeting be held later than thirty-five (35) calendar days following the date the Proxy Statement is mailed to the Company’s shareholders; provided, further, that the Company may postpone or adjourn the

Shareholders Meeting (for a period of not more than thirty (30) calendar days, individually or in the aggregate, but not past two (2) Business Days prior to the End Date) only (A) with the written consent of Parent, (B) for the absence of a quorum, (C) to allow additional solicitation of votes in order to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval, or (D) as required by Law. Once the Company has established a record date for the Shareholders Meeting, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Shareholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent. If the record date for the Shareholders Meeting is changed, the Company shall, as to that record date, comply with each of its obligations under this Section 5.03. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any event or circumstance relating to the Company or Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries, officers or directors should be discovered by the Company or Parent which, pursuant to the Securities Act or Exchange Act, is required to be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly inform the other Party and the Company shall promptly file an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminate such amendment or supplement to the shareholders of the Company. Each of Parent and the Company agree (and Parent agrees to cause Merger Sub) to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement which shall have become false or misleading. Each of the Company and Parent shall cause all documents that such Party is responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the Merger to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and, as applicable, not to 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d) Unless there has occurred a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 5.02(e), the Board of Directors of the Company shall make the Company Board Recommendation with respect to the approval of this Agreement, and the Company shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the Company Shareholder Approval.

(b) The Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of (i) any notice or other communication received by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the knowledge of such Party, any of their respective Representatives, from any Person alleging that the consent, approval, permission of or waiver from such party is or may be required in connection with the Merger; (ii) any notice or other communication received by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Representatives, from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and (iii) any fact, event or circumstance known to it that would be reasonably likely to result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Article 6 to be capable of being satisfied prior to the End Date; provided, that the failure to deliver any notice pursuant to this Section 5.04(b)(iii) shall not be considered in determining whether the conditions set forth in Article 6 have been satisfied.

(c) Parent acknowledges that the information, notification and access provided pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated November 28, 2016, by and between the Company and Parent (as supplemented or amended, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. No investigation pursuant to this Section 5.04 or information or notification provided or received by Parent pursuant to this Agreement will affect any of the representations or warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement (or the Disclosure Letter) or prejudice the rights and remedies of Parent or Merger Sub hereunder.

Subject to Section 5.04 above and the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, promptly furnish to each other all information reasonably required for any application or other filing to be made by the other with any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

In connection with any investigation or other inquiry, Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, unless prohibited by applicable Law or a Governmental Authority, (i) keep the other Party promptly informed of any communication received by such Party or any of its Affiliates from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) provide outside counsel for the other Party with a reasonable opportunity to (A) review in advance any proposed communication by such Party or its Affiliates with any Governmental Authority, (B) consult with the other Party prior to any meeting or conference with any Governmental Authority, and (C) attend and participate in such meetings or conferences.

(d) Each of Parent and the Company may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this

Section 5.05 as “outside counsel only.” Such competitively sensitive material and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from an authorized officer of Parent or the Company, as the case may be, or its legal counsel.

(f) Each of the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, cooperate with the other Party and use its reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any Action, including any administrative or judicial Action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any Order (whether temporary, preliminary, or permanent) that is threatened or in effect and that restricts, prevents, or prohibits consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws, including by pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal; provided, however, that such obligation to contest and resist any Action in no way limits the obligation of the Company or Parent to, and to cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions and do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper, or

advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable and in any event before the End Date in accordance with, and subject to the limitations set forth in, Section 5.05(e).

(g) Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, effect any acquisition, business combination or similar transaction, or enter into any agreement to effect any acquisition, business combination or similar transaction, that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or materially and adversely affect Parent’s ability to satisfy the conditions to the Merger set forth in Section 6.01(b), Section 6.01(c) (to the extent related to the HSR Act or the Antitrust Laws set forth in Section 6.01(d) of the Disclosure Letter) or Section 6.01(d).

Section 5.06. Indemnification, Exculpation, and Insurance.

(a) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation (i) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to include and cause to be maintained in effect in the Surviving Corporation’s (or any successor’s) organizational documents provisions regarding elimination of liability of directors, and indemnification of and advancement of expenses to directors and officers of the Company, no less favorable than those contained in the Company’s Organizational Documents as of the date hereof, in favor of all past and present directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries (individually, an “Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) in connection with acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) to honor the Company’s obligations under the Company’s Organizational Documents and those certain Indemnification Agreements by and between the Company and those individuals listed in Section 5.06 of the Disclosure Letter (collectively, the “Indemnification Agreements”) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, but in no event to any lesser extent than the Company would be required to perform them if the transactions contemplated hereby had not taken place.

(b) In the event that either Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties, rights, and other assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause proper provision to be made so that such successor or assign shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.06.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, and, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay for, at no expense to the beneficiaries, non-cancellable “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies and fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance”), for the persons who are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, with terms, conditions, retentions, and levels of coverage at least as favorable to the insured individuals as the Company’s existing D&O Insurance with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby); provided that the amount paid for such tail policy shall not exceed 250% of the amount the Company paid for the D&O Insurance in its last full fiscal year

prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Current Premium”) without the prior written consent of Parent. If the Company and the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to maintain in effect, at no expense to the beneficiaries, D&O Insurance for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time for the persons who are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, with terms, conditions, retentions, and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in such existing D&O Insurance; provided that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 5.06(c), the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay aggregate premiums in excess of 250% of the Current Premium and, if such aggregate premiums for such insurance would exceed 250% of the Current Premium, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that, in the Surviving Corporation’s good faith judgment, provide the maximum coverage available for an aggregate premium equal to 250%% of the Current Premium. Parent hereby acknowledges that under the Indemnification Agreements, the Company has certain obligations relating to the D&O Insurance coverage to be obtained pursuant to this Agreement, including this Section 5.06(c). Parent further acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Indemnification Agreement, the terms of the Indemnification Agreement will prevail.

(d) Parent hereby guarantees the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under Section 5.06(a)(ii), which guarantee shall (i) be solely a guarantee of payment by the Surviving Corporation, (ii) be subject to all of the limitations under applicable Law and the Company’s Organizational Documents that apply to such obligations of the Surviving Corporation and (iii) not expand the obligations of the Surviving Corporation to any of the Indemnified Parties in any way.

(e) The provisions of this Section 5.06 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable from and after the Effective Time by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs, and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by Contract or otherwise.

Section 5.07. Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time, each employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries who remains in the active employment of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (the “Continuing Employees”) shall receive (i) an annual rate of salary or wages and annual incentive opportunities that are, in each case, no less favorable than that provided to such employee as of the date of this Agreement, and (ii) employee benefits, that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, to the employee benefits provided to such employee as of the date of this Agreement. In addition, the flexible spending accounts maintained under the Company’s cafeteria plan will continue to be maintained through a date ending no earlier than the last day of the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs, unless such accounts are merged prior thereto into successor arrangements maintained by the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring, and the Company shall take no action after the date of this Agreement that would have the effect of requiring, Parent or

the Surviving Corporation to continue any specific Benefit Plans or compensation, retention or employment arrangements, or to continue the employment of any specific person. In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Benefit Plan or any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by Parent, Surviving Corporation, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates; or (ii) alter or limit the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Benefit Plan or any other compensation or benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Closing Date.

(c) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to recognize the service of each Continuing Employee with the Company or its Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or its Subsidiaries to the extent service with such predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or its Subsidiaries) as if such service had been performed with Parent with respect to any vacation or severance plans, policies or programs in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time for all purposes under such vacation or severance plans, policies or programs, except, in each case, to the extent such treatment would result in duplicative benefits.

(d) With respect to any welfare plan maintained by Parent in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time, Parent shall take commercially reasonable efforts to, or to cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions and limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements, waiting periods, and any other restriction that would prevent immediate or full participation under any welfare benefit plan maintained by the Surviving Corporation with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees to the extent such conditions and exclusions were satisfied or did not apply to such employees under the welfare plans or comparable welfare plans maintained by the Company prior to the Effective Time and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time in the same plan year in which the Effective Time occurs in satisfying any analogous deductible or out-of-pocket requirements to the extent applicable under the relevant welfare benefit plan in which Continuing Employees participate from and after the Effective Time, as if there had been a single continuous employer, to the extent credited under the welfare plans maintained by the Company prior to the Effective Time. Such credited expenses, if any, shall count toward any annual or lifetime limits, treatment or visit limits or similar limitations that apply under the terms of the applicable plan.

(e) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor all obligations under the Benefit Plans and compensation, retention and employment arrangements, and agreements identified in Section 5.07(e) of the Disclosure Letter in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately before the Effective Time.

(f) The Company shall provide Parent with the right to review any material written communications related to the transactions contemplated hereby that are intended for broad-based and general distribution to any current or former employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(g) If requested by Parent in writing delivered to the Company not less than ten (10) Business Days before the Closing Date, the Board of Directors of the Company (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions and take such corporate action as is necessary to terminate the Company’s 401(k) plan (the “Company 401(k) Plan”), effective as of the day prior to the Closing Date. Following the Effective Time and as soon as practicable following receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS on the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, the assets thereof shall be distributed to the participants, and Parent shall, to the extent permitted by Parent’s applicable 401(k) plan (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”), permit the Continuing Employees who are then actively employed to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code, but not inclusive of loans), in the form of cash, in an amount equal to the full account balance (excluding loans) distributed to such employee from the Company 401(k) Plan to the Parent 401(k) Plan.

(h) No later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Parent a list of each “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (i) the Company’s reasonable, good faith estimate of the maximum amount (separately identifying single and double-trigger amounts and tax gross-up payments, if any) that could be paid to, or benefits received by, such disqualified individual as a result of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or a termination of employment or service (with respect to either of the foregoing, alone or in combination with any other event, including as the result of the accelerated vesting of Company Equity Awards or the making of the Option Payments or the Company RSU Payments), (ii) the “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) for each such disqualified individual, (iii) the amount of “excess parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) and (iv) underlying documentation on which such calculations are based.

(i) The provisions of this Section 5.07 are for the sole benefit of the Parties and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any person (including for the avoidance of doubt any current or former employees, directors, or independent contractors of any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or on or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), other than the Parties, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 5.07.

Section 5.08. Public Announcements. Except with respect to (i) any public statement by the Company containing (A) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and (B) a statement of the reasons of the Board of Directors of the Company for making such Company Adverse Recommendation Change, made in accordance with, and after compliance with, Section 5.02 (in which case, this Section 5.08 shall apply only to such public statement with respect to any information relating to Parent or its business, financial condition or results of operations set forth in such public statement) and (ii) any public statement by Parent issued in connection with the issuance of a public statement of the type referred to in clause (i), Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as such Party may reasonably conclude may be required by applicable Law, court process or any listing agreement

with, or rules of, any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system on which the securities of such Party are listed. The Parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may make public statements with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including their effect on Parent’s business and its financial projections, with investors, analysts and Financing Sources, including, without limitation, on its periodic earnings calls and in any “road show”, so long as Parent’s comments are not inconsistent with the press releases previously issued and agreed upon by the Parties.

Section 5.09. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each person who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.10. Third Party Consent. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver the required notices to, and obtain the required consents or waivers from, the counterparties to the Contracts listed in Section 5.10 of the Disclosure Letter in connection with the Merger; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any material cash consideration to any such third parties in connection with the obtaining of the required consents or waivers pursuant to this Section 5.10. Without limiting the express obligations in the preceding sentence, Parent acknowledges and agrees (and Merger Sub will acknowledge and agree) that having actually obtained any such consents or waivers is not a condition to Closing.

Section 5.11. Treatment of Certain Indebtedness. The Company shall cause its Subsidiaries to deliver all notices and take all other reasonable actions to cause (a) the repayment in full on the Closing Date (or in the case of letters of credit, cash collateralization, to the extent that Parent shall not have entered into an alternative arrangement with the issuing bank) of all obligations then outstanding under, (b) the release on the Closing Date in connection with such repayment of all Liens securing such obligations under, and (c) the termination (to the extent provided therein and pursuant to the terms thereof) on the Closing Date of, the Credit Agreement (such actions described in clauses (a) through (c), the “Existing Credit Facility Terminations”), including by obtaining a payoff letter in customary form from the agent under the Credit Agreement; provided, that in no event shall this Section 5.11 require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to (i) cause any of the Existing Credit Facility Terminations to be effective until the Closing shall have occurred; or (ii) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to incur any liability in connection with the Existing Credit Facility Terminations that is effective prior to the occurrence of the Effective Time.

(b) At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent of the resignation of the directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than directors of Subsidiaries whom Parent determines shall continue to serve in such capacities following the Effective Time), effective at the Effective Time.

Section 5.13. Takeover Laws. If any Takeover Law is or may become applicable to this Agreement, the Voting and Support Agreements, the Merger, any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Voting and Support Agreements, the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, each of the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub and their respective boards of directors shall grant all such approvals and take all such actions as are reasonably necessary or appropriate so that such transactions (including Merger) may be consummated as promptly as practicable hereafter on the terms contemplated hereby, and otherwise act reasonably to eliminate or render inapplicable the effects of such Takeover Law on such transactions.

Section 5.14. Shareholder Litigation. The Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable following its being notified of the same notify Parent in writing of, and shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in (but not control) the defense and settlement of, any Action against the Company or its directors, executive officers, or similar persons by any shareholder of the Company relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement, the Merger, or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Shareholder Litigation”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall not communicate with any opposing party in any Shareholder Litigation regarding any settlement thereof without either (a) consulting with Parent in advance of such communication, taking into account in good faith Parent’s views as to acceptable settlement terms and promptly informing Parent of the contents of such communication or (b) allowing Parent’s counsel to participate in such communication. The Company shall not settle any Shareholder Litigation without the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

Section 5.15. Financing.

(a) Parent shall not agree to any amendment or modification to, or grant any waiver of, any provision under the Commitment Letter without the prior written consent of the Company if such amendment, modification or waiver would (i) impose additional conditions to the receipt of the Financing on the Closing Date, or otherwise amend or modify any such conditions in a manner that is adverse in any material respect to Parent or the Company, (ii) individually or in the aggregate with all other amendments, modifications or waivers to the Commitment Letter, reasonably be expected to prevent or make less likely to occur the funding of the commitments thereunder on the Closing Date or (iii) reduce the aggregate amount of the available commitments thereunder other than to the extent the representations set forth in Section 4.07(c) would continue to be true after giving effect thereto (the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), the “Prohibited Changes”); provided that, without the consent of the Company, Parent may amend (it being understood that no such amendment shall constitute a Prohibited Change) the

Commitment Letter to add additional lenders, arrangers, bookrunners and agents or to implement or exercise any of the “market flex” provisions contained in any Fee Letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall be entitled to replace the Commitment Letter by entering into definitive documentation with respect to the Financing on or prior to the Closing so long as such definitive documentation is on terms and conditions consistent with the Commitment Letter and would not result in Prohibited Changes.

(b) Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Financing on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, including, prior to the consummation of the Financing in an aggregate amount that is sufficient (taken together with any cash available to Parent) for the representation set forth in Section 4.07(c) to continue to be true, using its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter (including any definitive documentation entered into in connection therewith), (ii) satisfy all conditions in the Commitment Letter (including any definitive documentation entered into in connection therewith) applicable to Parent and Merger Sub to obtaining the Financing thereunder as promptly as practicable (taking into account the expected timing of the Effective Time) (other than any condition where the failure to be so satisfied is a direct result of the Company’s failure to furnish information to Parent or otherwise comply with its obligations or the accuracy of any of its representations under this Agreement), (iii) as promptly as practicable (taking into account the expected timing of the Effective Time), negotiate, execute, and deliver definitive documentation with respect to the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter on the terms and subject to the conditions contemplated by the Commitment Letter (or on terms not less favorable to Parent and Merger Sub than the terms and conditions (including market flex provisions) set forth in the Commitment Letter and related Fee Letter), and (v) subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter and Sections 6.01 and 6.02, cause the Financing Sources party thereto to fund the Financing thereunder on or prior to the Closing Date. If any portion of the Financing otherwise becomes unavailable, and such portion is reasonably required to fund the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration and all fees and expenses payable by Parent and Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub will use their reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain in replacement thereof alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration and such fees and expenses payable by Parent and Merger Sub. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.15 to the contrary, solely to the extent the representations set forth in Section 4.07(c) shall continue to be true, Parent will have the right to substitute the proceeds of consummated equity securities issuances or equity linked, convertible, exchangeable or other debt securities issuances or other incurrences of debt for all or any portion of the amount contemplated to be provided by the Bridge Financing contemplated by the Bridge Commitment Letter and may reduce the amount of the commitments thereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing” will include the Bridge Financing and any such alternative, replacement or substitute financing, any reference in this Agreement to the “Commitment Letter” will include the Bridge Commitment Letter and the commitment letter, if any, and the corresponding fee letter with respect to any such alternative financing or such replacement financing.

(c) Upon the Company’s reasonable request, Parent will keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s efforts to arrange the Financing and to satisfy the conditions thereof, including, upon the

Company’s reasonable request, advising and updating the Company, in a reasonable level of detail, with respect to status of definitive documentation for the Financing and any funding thereof. Parent shall give the Company prompt written notice (i) of any material breach or default, repudiation, or termination of any provisions of the Commitment Letter or definitive documentation relating to the Financing (other than, in the case of the commitments with respect to the Bridge Financing or the Bridge Financing, in accordance with the terms thereof), in each case, by any party thereto, of which Parent becomes aware or (ii) if for any reason Parent determines in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Bridge Financing under the Bridge Commitment Letter on the Closing Date (other than as a result of a reduction in accordance with the terms thereof).

(d) In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including the Financing) by or to Parent or any of its Affiliates or any other financing transaction be a condition to any of the obligations of Parent or Merger Sub hereunder, it being understood that nothing in this Section 5.15(d) is intended to limit (i) the provision of the Required Information pursuant to Section 2.02 or (ii) any condition contained in Section 6.01 or 6.02.

Section 5.16. Financing Cooperation.

(a) In connection with Parent’s financing in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Financing) (the “Parent Financing”), prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide to Parent and Merger Sub, at Parent’s sole expense, customary cooperation reasonably requested by Parent and Merger Sub that is necessary in connection with the arrangement and consummation of the Parent Financing, including (in each case, to the extent reasonably requested by Parent):

(i) participating in a reasonable number of meetings, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions between senior management and the actual or perspective Financing Sources;

(ii) (A) promptly providing (1) the Required Information and (2) such other pertinent information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries and such other financial data relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably available to the Company and which is reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the preparation of one or more bank information memoranda and packages (confidential and public), lender and investor presentations, rating agency materials, private placement memoranda, offering memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents customary in order to consummate the Parent Financing or that would be necessary to obtain a consent from or receive customary “comfort” letters from the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company (including negative assurance comfort), and (B) cooperating with Parent in preparing such pro forma financial statements and other pro forma financial data and financial information;

(iii) providing reasonable and customary assistance with the preparation of documents customarily required in connection with any bank debt, public or private senior note financings or equity securities issuances or equity linked, convertible, exchangeable or other debt securities issuances and, to the extent required under the Commitment Letter (including any alternative or replacement financing referred to in Section 5.15(b)) or any other financing in

Patriot Act of 2001;

(iv) using reasonable best efforts to assist Parent in obtaining legal opinions from applicable outside counsel (and not internal counsel) as customarily required in connection with any bank debt or public or private senior note financings or equity securities issuances or equity linked, convertible, exchangeable or other debt securities issuances, as the case may be (including, in all cases, the Parent Financing); and

(v) using reasonable best efforts to cause the Company’s registered public accounting firm to provide written consent to use such firm’s audit report in a registration statement filed with the SEC or in any other offering document and to deliver a customary “comfort” letter (including negative assurance comfort) to the Financing Sources as customarily required in connection with any public or private senior note financings or equity securities issuances or equity linked, convertible, exchangeable or other debt securities issuances (including, in all cases, the Parent Financing).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.16, no obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any certificate or document (other than the customary representation letter to the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company in connection with the delivery of a comfort letter or consent, any customary authorization letters in connection with any bank debt and any notices of prepayment and/or commitment terminations which are delivered by the Company not in contravention of the applicable agreement and conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger and delivered in accordance with Section 5.11) will be effective until the Effective Time. In addition, Parent will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with any Parent Financing and any information used in connection therewith, except and solely to the extent that any such obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, awards, judgments and penalties, fees, costs or other liabilities are suffered or incurred as a result of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives’ gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section 5.16, (i) none of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries will be required to pay or commit to pay any commitment or other fee or incur any other liability (including any guarantee, indemnity or pledge) for the Financing prior to the Effective Time, except fees that are promptly reimbursed by Parent and (ii) nothing in this Section 5.16 will require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to provide any information or take any action, the disclosure or taking of which would violate applicable Law, any fiduciary duty, any Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third-party, or

jeopardize the protection of the attorney-client privilege (it being agreed that the Company shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents on the basis of any such Law, duty, Contract, obligation or privilege, shall withhold only that portion of such information that is reasonably necessary to be withheld to not violate applicable Law, duty, Contract or obligation and to preserve attorney-client privilege, and thereafter the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to violate such Law, duty, Contract or obligation or waive attorney-client privilege).

Section 5.17. Formation of Merger Sub. Parent shall form Merger Sub as promptly as practicable, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, following the date hereof, and shall cause Merger Sub, upon its formation, to execute and delivery the Joinder Agreement and agree to be bound hereunder.

Section 7.03. Fees and Expenses.

(a) Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated, it being understood and agreed that Parent shall be solely responsible for payment of any and all filing fees payable under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(f) or by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(e), then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent the Company Termination Fee (i) on or before the third Business Day following the date of such termination (in the case of termination by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(f)) or (ii) concurrently with such termination (in the case of termination by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(e)), by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. dollars to the applicable account or accounts designated in writing to the Company by Parent.

(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i), or Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i) (unless the Company would have at such time been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(d) but for such termination pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i)), or by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(iii), or by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(c), and, in any such case, (i) at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement (or the date of the Shareholders Meeting in the case of termination pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(iii)), an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced and not publicly withdrawn or been communicated to the management or the Board of Directors of the Company and (ii) within twelve (12) months after such termination, (A) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal with another Person (which need not be the same Acquisition Proposal described in clause (i) above) and such Acquisition Proposal is thereafter consummated or (B) the Company consummates the transactions contemplated by any Acquisition Proposal (which need not be the same Acquisition Proposal described in clause (i) above), then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent the Company Termination Fee prior to or concurrently with the consummation of such transaction by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. dollars to the applicable account or accounts designated in writing to the Company by Parent. For purposes of only subclause (ii) of this Section 7.03(c), the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 5.02(i)(i), except that the references to “20%” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

(d) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(g), then Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company an amount equal to $500,000,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) on or before the third Business Day following the date of such termination by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. dollars to the applicable account or accounts designated in writing to Parent by the Company.

(e) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 7.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither the Company nor Parent or Merger Sub would enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.03(b) or Section 7.03(c) or Parent fails to promptly pay the Parent Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.03(d) (as applicable, the “Non-Paying Party”), and, in order to obtain such payment, the other Party (the “Recipient Party”) commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the Company Termination Fee or Parent for the Parent Termination Fee (or any portion thereof), as the case may be, then the Non-Paying Party shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Recipient Party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, as the case may be, from and including the date payment of such amount was due through the date of payment at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made plus two percent (2%). Each of the Company Termination Fee and the Parent Termination Fee is non-refundable and shall not be set off by or credited against any other payment.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Parent’s right, if any, to receive the Company Termination Fee from the Company pursuant to Section 7.03(b) or Section 7.03(c), and the Company’s right, if any, to receive the Parent Termination Fee from Parent pursuant to Section 7.03(d), and the amounts described in Section 7.03(e), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub or the Company, as the case may be, and their respective Affiliates against the Parties and their respective former, current or future shareholders, directors, officers, Affiliates, agents, or other Representatives for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the failure of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, and upon payment of the Company Termination Fee by the Company or the Parent Termination Fee by Parent, as the case may be, and any applicable amount described in Section 7.03(e), none of the Parties or any of their respective former, current, or future shareholders, directors, officers, Affiliates, agents, or other Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 7.03(f) shall (i) relieve any Party from any liabilities or damages resulting from any fraud or Willful Breach committed by such Party prior to such termination (except in the case of a termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(g) entitling the Company to receive the Parent Termination Fee), or (ii) modify the agreements set forth in Sections 8.13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee more than once or shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee more than once.

Section 7.04. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval; provided, however, that (a) any such amendment shall be in a writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto and signed on behalf of each of the Parties, (b) after the Company Shareholder Approval has been obtained, there shall be made no amendment that by applicable Law requires further approval by the shareholders of the Company without such further approval, and (c) no amendment shall be made to this Agreement after the Effective Time; provided, further, that this Section 7.04, Section 7.03(f), Section 7.05, Section 8.05, Section 8.06, Section 8.07, Section 8.08, Section 8.09 and Section 8.13 (and any definition set forth in, or other provision of, this Agreement to the extent that an amendment of such definition or other provision would modify, amend, or waive the substance of this Section 7.04, Section 7.03(f), Section 7.05, Section 8.05, Section 8.06, Section 8.07, Section 8.08, Section 8.09 or Section 8.13) may not be amended in a manner that would be adverse to any Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Financing Source (and any such amendment without such consent shall be null and void).

Section 7.05. Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parties may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties, (b) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, or (c) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein; provided, however, that after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, no waiver may be made that pursuant to applicable Law requires further approval by the shareholders of the Company without such further approval; provided, further that compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in Section 7.03(f), Section 7.04, this Section 7.05, Section 8.05, Section 8.06, Section 8.07, Section 8.08, Section 8.09 and Section 8.13 will not be waived in a manner that would be adverse to any Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Financing Source (and any such waiver without such consent shall be null and void). No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. No waiver of any breach of any provision shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision, nor shall any waiver be implied from any course of dealing between the Parties. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective except by written instrument executed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No extension of time for performance of any obligations or other acts hereunder or under any other agreement shall be deemed to be an extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or any other acts.

Section 8.03. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the documents and the instruments referred to herein), the Confidentiality Agreement and the Voting and Support Agreements contain the entire understanding of the Parties in respect of its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (oral or written) between the Parties with respect to such subject matter.

Section 8.04. Disclosure Letter. The Disclosure Letter is not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, representations or warranties of the Company except and solely to the extent that a representation or warranty set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement specifically states that a correct and complete list of a particular item is set forth on a particular section of the Disclosure Letter. The fact that any item or other information is disclosed in the Disclosure Letter shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

Section 8.05. Binding Effect; Assignment. The rights and obligations of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns and, to the extent set forth in Section 8.06, the Financing Sources and other Persons referred to therein. Except as expressly provided herein, the rights and obligations of this Agreement may not be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided that Parent or Merger Sub, upon prior written notice to the Company, may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement (a) to Parent or to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Merger Sub of any of its obligations hereunder or (b) to Financing Sources for collateral security purposes in connection with the Financing.

Section 8.06. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended to confer any legal or equitable rights, benefits, remedies, obligations, or liabilities upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that the Parties specifically acknowledge and agree that after the Effective Time, (a) Section 5.06 shall be enforceable by each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and (b) each holder of Company Common Stock shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of Article 2 to the extent necessary to receive the consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Article 2.

Section 8.07. Governing Law. This Agreement and its enforcement will be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state (provided that the Merger and the exercise of the dissenters’ rights with respect to the Merger shall be governed by the Laws of the State of California) without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof that would apply the laws of any other jurisdiction; provided that, except as specifically set forth in the Commitment Letter, any Action, whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Source in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger and the Financing, or any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Merger, the Commitment Letter, the Financing, the performance thereof or the transactions contemplated thereby shall be governed by, and constructed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York.

Section 8.08. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal court in the Central District of California and any appellate courts therefrom, or if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”), for any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally 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 proceedings brought in such court. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or argue in any such court (a) that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with applicable Law, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts or from any legal process commenced in the Chosen Courts (including but not limited to service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law that (i) the suit, action, or proceeding in the Chosen Courts is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action, or proceeding is improper, and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by the Chosen Courts. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Parties agrees that it will not bring or support any Action, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or

otherwise, against any Financing Source in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger and the Financing, or any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Merger, the Commitment Letter, the Financing or the performance thereof or the transactions contemplated thereby, in any forum other than the United States federal court located in, or if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any New York state court located in, the Borough of Manhattan within the City of New York.

Section 8.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, INCLUDING THE MERGER AND THE FINANCING (INCLUDING ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIM OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR IN EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE INVOLVING ANY FINANCING SOURCE).

Section 8.10. Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms on a timely basis or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, without posting bond or other undertaking, the Parties shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any such action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party will allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. The Parties further agree that (a) subject to the proviso in the last sentence to this Section 8.10, by seeking any remedy provided for in this Section 8.10, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such Party under this Agreement and (b) nothing contained in this Section 8.10 shall require any Party to institute any action for (or limit such Party’s right to institute any action for) specific performance under this Section 8.10 before exercising any other right under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be entitled to obtain specific performance of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the Merger unless each of the following conditions are satisfied (a) all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02 shall have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing itself, but subject to satisfaction thereof if the Closing were to occur at that time), (b) the Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing, (c) Parent has failed to close within three (3) Business Days after the later of (i) the date the Closing should occur in accordance with Section 2.02 and (ii) receipt of the written confirmation described in the following clause (d), and (d) the Company has confirmed to Parent in writing that if specific performance is granted and the Financing is funded, and Parent otherwise complies with its obligations hereunder, then the Closing will occur; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance of Parent’s obligation to consummate the Merger and a payment of the Parent Termination Fee.

Section 8.11. Severability. If any provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then (a) a substitute and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable in such jurisdiction, the intent and purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision, and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability of such provision affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by means of facsimile and electronically transmitted portable document format (pdf) signature pages), each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 8.13. Liability of Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company acknowledges and agrees that none of the Financing Sources shall have any liability to the Company or its Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger and the Financing, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will have any rights or claims against any Financing Sources under this Agreement and any other agreement contemplated by, or entered into in connection with, the Financing, including any commitments by the Financing Sources in respect of the Financing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or its Affiliates be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement against any of the Financing Sources.
