Section 2.5 Effects on Capital Stock and Assumed RSUs.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the First Step Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties, each share of Company Stock (including Company Restricted Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Stock owned by Parent, the Merger Subsidiaries or the Company or any of their respective wholly-owned Subsidiaries and except for any Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive the following consideration (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”):

(i) Conversion of Company Stock.

(A) Subject to Section 2.5(d), each share of Company Stock with respect to which an election to receive a combination of stock and cash (a “Mixed Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked pursuant to Section 2.7 (each, a “Mixed Consideration Election Share”) shall be converted into the right to receive the combination (which combination shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Per Share Mixed Consideration”) of (x) the Per Share Mixed Election Cash Amount plus (y) that number of shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Parent Stock equal to the Per Share Mixed Election Stock Amount. The “Per Share Mixed Election Stock Amount” shall be equal to (1) (a) fifty-five percent (55%) of the Purchase Price divided by the Closing Average minus (b) the Calculated Option Amount, minus (c) the Assumed RSU Amount, divided by (2) the total number of shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding

immediately prior to the Effective Time. The “Per Share Mixed Election Cash Amount” shall be equal to (1) $7.30 minus (2) the Per Share Mixed Election Stock Amount multiplied by the Closing Average.

(B) Each share of Company Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash (a “Cash Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked pursuant to Section 2.7 (each, a “Cash Election Share”) shall be converted into the right to receive (1) an amount in cash (not to exceed $7.30 per share), without interest (the “Per Share Cash Election Cash Consideration”), equal to (x) the Maximum Cash Amount minus (i) the product of the total number of Mixed Consideration Election Shares and the Per Share Mixed Election Cash Amount (such product being the “Mixed Election Cash Amount”), minus (ii) the Non-Assumed Option Cash Amount and minus (iii) the Dissenters’ Cash Amount, divided by (y) the sum of the total number of Cash Election Shares; and (2) in the event the Per Share Cash Election Cash Consideration is less than $7.30 per share, that number of shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Parent Stock as is equal to $7.30 minus the Per Share Cash Election Cash Consideration divided by the Closing Average (the “Per Share Cash Election Stock Consideration”).

(C) Each share of Company Stock with respect to which an election to receive stock consideration (a “Stock Election”) has been properly made and not revoked pursuant to Section 2.7 (each, a “Stock Election Share”) shall be converted into the right to receive (1) that number of shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Parent Stock (the “Per Share Stock Election Stock Consideration”) as is equal to (x) the Maximum Stock Amount minus (i) the product of the total number of Mixed Consideration Election Shares and the Per Share Mixed Election Stock Amount (such product being the “Mixed Election Stock Amount”), minus (ii) the product of the total number of Cash Election Shares and the Per Share Cash Election Stock Consideration (the “Cash Election Stock Amount”), (iii) the Calculated Option Amount and minus (iv) the Assumed RSU Amount, divided by (y) the total number of Stock Election Shares (the “Stock Election Stock Amount”); provided, however, that in no event shall the number of shares of Parent Stock issued per share of Company Stock under this Section 2.5(a)(i)(C) multiplied by the Closing Average exceed $7.30; and (2) if the Per Share Stock Election Stock Consideration is less than the number of shares of Parent Stock as is determined by dividing $7.30 by the Closing Average (such difference being the “Stock Election Shortfall Amount”), an amount in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Stock Election Cash Consideration”), equal to the product of the Stock Election Shortfall Amount and the Closing Average.

(D) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the sum of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i)(A), (B) and (C) plus (2) the Calculated Option Amount plus (3) the Assumed RSU Amount (the sum of the amounts in clauses (1), (2) and (3), the “Total Stock Amount”) would be greater than the Maximum Stock Amount (the

“Excess Stock Amount”), then the shares of Parent Stock issuable pursuant to the Stock Election shall be decreased to the minimum extent necessary on a pro rata basis, such that the Total Stock Amount shall not exceed the Maximum Stock Amount and each Stock Election Share shall receive additional cash in an amount equal to the number of shares of Parent Stock by which such Stock Election Shares’ Stock Election Stock Amount has been reduced multiplied by the Closing Average.

(E) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the sum of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i)(A), (B) and (C) plus (2) the Option Stock Amount plus (3) the Assumed RSU Amount would be greater than nineteen and one-half percent (19.5%) of the shares of Parent Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (such amount, the “Stock Threshold”), the number of shares of Parent Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be decreased by the minimum number of shares necessary (the “Decreased Shares”); provided, however, that no decrease shall be made to the extent that the Stock Threshold is exceeded as a result of a reverse stock split, stock buy-back or other action by Parent, such that the Total Stock Amount shall not exceed the Stock Threshold. In such event, the amount of cash paid pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i) shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of the Decreased Shares and the Closing Average.

(F) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Total Cash Amount exceed the Maximum Cash Amount; in no event shall the Total Stock Amount exceed the lower of the Maximum Stock Amount and the Stock Threshold; and in no event shall the (i) Total Cash Amount plus (ii) the Closing Average multiplied by the Total Stock Amount, exceed the Purchase Price. To the extent any of these requirements are violated, the allocations of Merger Consideration shall be adjusted pro rata, relative to cash or stock as applicable, to the least extent necessary to comply with all requirements.

(ii) Repurchase Rights. If any shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable Company Restricted Stock Award or other agreement with the Company (such shares of stock, the “Company Restricted Stock”) that does not by its terms as disclosed in Section 4.19 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (or by the terms of another agreement with the Company in effect as of the date hereof and disclosed on Section 4.19 of the Company Disclosure Schedule) provide that such repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition lapses upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, then such awards shall be treated as assumed and (x) the shares of Parent Stock issued in exchange for such shares of Company Restricted Stock will also be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition, and the certificates representing such shares of Parent Stock may accordingly be marked with appropriate legends until such time as such repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition expires or is otherwise extinguished, at which time Parent shall cause such legends to be removed and (y) the

cash portion of the Merger Consideration payable with respect to such shares of Company Restricted Stock shall be withheld and retained by Parent and shall be subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition. Parent shall hold the cash portion of the Merger Consideration so withheld until such repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition expires or is otherwise extinguished at which time such portion of the Merger Consideration will be distributed to such former holder of shares of Company Restricted Stock; provided, however, such cash shall be permanently retained by Parent upon forfeiture by the holder of such shares of Parent Stock pursuant to the terms that governed such Company Restricted Stock prior to the Effective Time. Upon consummation of the Merger, Parent will automatically succeed to and become entitled to exercise the Company’s rights and remedies under any such Contract without modification. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, the Final Surviving Entity is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement.

(b) Merger Subsidiary One Common Stock. Each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary One outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) share of common stock of the Interim Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Interim Surviving Corporation.

(c) Treasury Shares. Each share of Company Stock held in the treasury of the Company or owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent or the Merger Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, “Treasury Shares”) shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(d) Treatment of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Stock shall be issued by virtue of the First Step Merger. All fractional shares of Parent Stock that a holder of shares of Company Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the First Step Merger shall be aggregated and if a fractional share results from such aggregation, such holder shall be entitled to receive from Parent, in lieu thereof, an amount in cash (rounded up to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fractional share by the Closing Average. For purposes of calculating the splits of stock and cash to be received by any Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.5, all calculations shall be completed prior to determining fractional shares.

(e) Changes in Capitalization. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of Parent shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the provisions of this Agreement shall be adjusted to fully reflect the change in capitalization.

(f) Dissenting Company Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, to the extent appraisal rights are available under Section 262 of Delaware Law, shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a stockholder who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented

thereto in writing and who shall have properly and validly exercised such stockholder’s statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such shares of Company Stock in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.5. Any such stockholder shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of Delaware Law; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Dissenting Shares held by a stockholder who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such stockholder’s statutory right to appraisal of such Dissenting Shares under such Section 262 of Delaware Law shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, the right to receive the same Merger Consideration received by each Cash Election Share, without any interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Stock in the manner set forth in Section 2.8. The Company shall give Parent (x) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal received by the Company, written withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to Section 262 of Delaware Law and received by the Company in respect of Dissenting Shares and (y) the opportunity and right (at Parent’s election) to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Delaware Law in respect of Dissenting Shares. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or as required by an Order of a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demands for payment in respect of Dissenting Shares.

Section 2.6 Company Options and Company RSUs; Company ESPP. The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted or will adopt prior to the Effective Time resolutions, and the Company has taken and/or shall take, as applicable, all actions, necessary prior to the Effective Time to effect the following:

(a) Stock Options. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the First Step Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of Company Options, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be assumed by Parent (the “Assumed Options”) and converted automatically at the Effective Time into an option denominated in shares of Parent Stock and which has other terms and conditions substantially identical to those of the related Company Option except that (i) each Assumed Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio (as defined below), rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Stock and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Stock at which such Assumed Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that in no case shall the exchange of a Company Option be performed in a manner that is not in compliance with the adjustment requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The “Option Stock Amount” means the aggregate number of shares of Parent Stock issuable pursuant to this Section 2.6(a). The “Option Exchange Ratio” means (i)(A) 0.267008, multiplied by (B) the Elected Stock

Percentage; plus (ii) (A) the quotient obtained by dividing $7.30 by the closing sale price for Parent Stock on the NASDAQ for the last trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date, multiplied by (B) the Elected Cash Percentage. The Company agrees that the assumption and adjustment of Company Options in accordance with this Section 2.6(a) shall preserve the compensation element of each Company Option as of the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless determined otherwise by Parent, each Company Option that is held by a person who is not an employee of, or a consultant to, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Non-Assumed Options”) shall not be assumed by Parent pursuant to this Section 2.6 and shall, immediately prior to the Effective Time, be canceled and extinguished and the vested portion thereof shall automatically be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, if any, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Company Stock that were issuable upon exercise or settlement of such Non-Assumed Options immediately prior to the Effective Time (for these purposes, after giving effect to any applicable vesting acceleration provisions) and (ii) $7.30, less any per share exercise price of such Non-Assumed Options. All Company Options held by non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company shall be Non-Assumed Options for purposes of this Agreement and converted into the right to receive cash pursuant to the immediately preceding sentences. The Company shall at least thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time provide a notice to all holders of Assumed Options and Non-Assumed Options of the effect of the transaction on their options. The Company shall also provide notice that all holders of outstanding Company Options which as of the Effective Time will be Non-Assumed Options have the opportunity to exercise their vested options on or before the termination date of the option and during a specified period prior to the Effective Time, and that upon a failure to so exercise a Non-Assumed Option, each Non-Assumed Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be extinguished and converted into a right to receive cash in accordance with this section. Parent shall take such actions as are necessary for the assumption and conversion of the Company Options pursuant to this Section 2.6, including the reservation, issuance and listing of Parent Stock as is necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.6. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to each holder of any Company Option an appropriate notice setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant to such Company Option. Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the shares of Parent Stock issuable upon exercise of the Assumed Options promptly (but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days) following the Effective Time and Parent shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such Assumed Options remain outstanding. The Company and its counsel shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Parent in the preparation of such registration statement prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Company Restricted Stock Units. At the Effective Time by virtue of the First Step Merger and without any action on behalf of the Parties, each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested (“Assumed RSUs”), shall be assumed by Parent and converted into a restricted stock unit with terms and conditions substantially identical to those of the related Company RSU, except that the Assumed RSUs will represent the right to receive upon vesting (or such later payment event as provided for with respect to each such Assumed RSU), 0.267008 of a share of Parent Stock with respect to each share of Company Stock that was subject to the Assumed RSU. Parent shall take such actions as are necessary for the assumption and conversion of the Company RSUs pursuant to this Section 2.6,

including the reservation, issuance and listing of Parent Stock as is necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.6. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to each holder of any Company RSU an appropriate notice setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant to such Company RSU. Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the shares of Parent Stock issuable upon vesting of the Assumed RSUs promptly (but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days) following the Effective Time and Parent shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such Assumed RSUs remain outstanding. The Company and its counsel shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Parent in the preparation of such registration statement.

(c) ESPP. The Company shall take such action as may be necessary to (i) provide that no Offering Periods shall commence under the Company ESPP on or following the date hereof and (ii) terminate the Company ESPP on or before the last day of the payroll period ending immediately prior to the Effective Time (but in all events at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time).

(d) Equity Plan Awards. As provided in Section 2.5 and Section 2.6(a) and (b), the Parties intend that each of the outstanding awards under the Company Equity Plans, other than the Non-Assumed Options, shall be treated as assumed by Parent under the terms of each of the Company Equity Plans.

Section 2.7 Election Procedures

(a) An election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates theretofore representing shares of Company Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent) in such form as Parent shall specify and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Election Form”) shall be mailed together with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or at such other time as the Company and Parent may agree (the “Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of Company Stock as of the close of business on the record date for notice of the Company Stockholder Meeting (the “Election Form Record Date”).

(b) Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions), other than any holder of Dissenting Shares, to specify (i) that such holder elects to make a Mixed Election, (ii) that such holder elects to make a Stock Election, or (iii) that such holder elects to make a Cash Election. Any Company Stock with respect to which the Exchange Agent has not received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the twentieth (20th) day following the Mailing Date (or such other time and date as the Company and Parent shall agree) (the “Election Deadline”) (other than any Dissenting Shares as of such time) shall be deemed to have made a Cash Election.

(c) Parent shall make available one (1) or more Election Forms as may reasonably be requested from time to time by all Persons who become holders (or beneficial owners) of Company Stock between the Election Form Record Date and the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Election Deadline, and the Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein.

(d) Any such election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. An Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only if accompanied by one or more Certificates (or customary affidavits and, if required by Parent or the Final Surviving Entity, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such customary and reasonable amount as the Final Surviving Entity may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate) or Uncertificated Shares representing all shares of Company Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included in the Election Form. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting such Election Form, by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the certificates for the shares of Company Stock represented by such Election Form shall be promptly returned without charge to the Person submitting the Election Form, and such holder shall thereafter be deemed to have made a Cash Election except to the extent (if any) a subsequent election is properly made with respect to all of such shares of Company Stock. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. None of Parent, the Company or the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form.

Section 2.8 Exchange Procedures

(a) Exchange Agent; Letters of Transmittal. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an agent (the “Exchange Agent”), who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, for the purpose of exchanging shares of Company Stock for the Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Stock, for exchange in accordance with the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE 2, the following:

(i) a number of shares of Parent Stock sufficient to issue the Total Stock Amount issuable pursuant to ARTICLE 2, minus (A) the Assumed RSU Amount and minus (B) the Calculated Option Amount;

(ii) cash in an amount sufficient to pay the Total Cash Amount payable pursuant to ARTICLE 2, minus the Non-Assumed Option Cash Amount; and

(iii) cash in an amount sufficient to make all requisite payments of cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.5 and any dividends or other distributions which holders of shares of Company Stock may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.5.

(b) All shares of Parent Stock and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant hereto shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund”. Pursuant to irrevocable

instructions, the Exchange Agent shall promptly deliver the Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund to the former Company Stockholders who are entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.5.

(c) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of shares of Company Stock at the Effective Time (other than any holder that has previously and properly surrendered all of its Certificates or Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent in accordance with Section 2.7), a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall be in a customary form reasonably acceptable to the Company and shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of (i) Certificates or (ii) Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent or the Exchange Agent shall reasonably specify) for use in such exchange.

(d) Surrender and Payment. Each Company Stockholder that holds Company Stock (other than holders of Dissenting Shares) converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon receipt of a letter of transmittal properly completed in all material respects and the (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares delivered pursuant to either Section 2.7 or this Section 2.8, the Merger Consideration without interest in respect of the Company Stock represented by a Certificate or Uncertificated Share. The shares of Parent Stock constituting part of such Total Stock Amount, at Parent’s option, shall be in uncertificated book-entry form, unless a physical certificate is requested by a holder of shares of Company Stock or is otherwise required under Applicable Law. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share (other than Dissenting Shares) shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any Company Stockholder for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(h) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may determine is customary and reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Final Surviving Entity with respect to such Certificate, and upon the delivery to the Exchange Agent of a duly completed letter of transmittal in accordance with this Section 2.8, following the Effective Time the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement, without interest.

(i) Dividends on Parent Stock. No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Stock constituting part of the Merger Consideration, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 2.5(d), shall be paid to the holder of any Certificates not surrendered or of any Uncertificated Shares not transferred until such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, as provided in this Section 2.8. Following such surrender or transfer, there shall be paid, without interest, to the Person in whose name such shares of Parent Stock have been registered, (i) promptly following such surrender or transfer, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares to which such Person is entitled pursuant to Section 2.5(d) and the amount of all dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time previously paid or payable on the date of such surrender with respect to such shares of Parent Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and prior to surrender or transfer and with a payment date subsequent to surrender or transfer payable with respect to such shares of Parent Stock.

(j) Withholding. Parent, the Final Surviving Entity and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to holders of Company Stock, Company Options, Company RSUs or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent, the Final Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Tax law, 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.

Without limiting the foregoing, no portion of the source code for any Company Intellectual Property that is software used in or with any existing or proposed product of the Company has been provided, disclosed or licensed to any escrow agent or other Third Party. The policy of the Company is to have each employee, consultant, contractor and other Person who has participated in the creation of any material Company Intellectual Property (each, a “Contributor”) enter, and each Contributor that is a third party or current employee has entered, into a written agreement that assigns or obligates the Contributor to assign to the Company all such Contributor’s right, title and interest in such Contributor’s contribution to such material Company Intellectual Property, and to the extent that a right is not assignable, Contributor has waived any such right, including moral rights. The Company has made available to Parent the Company’s standard form of proprietary information, confidentiality and assignment agreements. Except as set forth in Section 4.20(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has made any submission to, or entered into any Contract with, any standards bodies or other organizations that would obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to grant licenses or that would otherwise impair the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ control of any of the Company Intellectual Property. Section 4.20(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule identifies each Contract pursuant to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has agreed or is obligated to license (or to grant any rights or immunities under) any of the Company Intellectual Property in connection with any technical standard or standards body. A copy of each such Contract has previously been provided to Parent.

(d) To the knowledge of the Company, the Company and its Subsidiaries own all Company Intellectual Property free and clear of any Liens or joint ownership interests. Except as set forth in Section 4.20(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into any Contract with any third party that would create a Company joint ownership interest. Section 4.20(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule

identifies each Contract pursuant to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has created a Company joint ownership interest. A copy of each such Contract has previously been provided to Parent. None of the Company Intellectual Property is subject to any outstanding Order restricting the use thereof by the Company or its Subsidiaries. Since January 1, 2001, no funding, facilities or personnel of any Governmental Authority were used, directly or indirectly, to develop or create, in whole or in part, any Company Intellectual Property.

(e) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i) assigned rights in or to any Company Intellectual Property to a Third Party, (ii) except for Company Intellectual Property jointly developed with a Third Party in which the Company retained non-exclusive, royalty-free license rights, granted to any third party any exclusive rights under or to any Company Intellectual Property or (iii) granted any rights under or to any Company Intellectual Property other than non-exclusive licenses granted in the ordinary course of business in connection with (x) the sale or distribution of the products of the Company or a Subsidiary, (y) an obligation to license necessary claims to Third Parties on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms in connection with technical contributions to standards bodies or (z) reciprocal licenses of necessary claims with Third Parties on royalty-free or reasonable and non-discriminatory terms.

(f) To the knowledge of the Company, neither the conduct of the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries, nor any of the products or services distributed, licensed, sold or offered by the Company and its Subsidiaries, infringes upon, misappropriates or constitutes the dilution of any Intellectual Property of any Third Party or constitutes unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction, and since January 1, 2007, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice or claim asserting or suggesting that any such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, or unfair competition or trade practices.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall notify each other as promptly as practicable upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance which should be described in an amendment of, or supplement to, the Registration Statement, Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any Regulation M-A Filing so that any such document would not include any misstatement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and as promptly as practicable thereafter, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Applicable Law or the SEC, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. Parent and the Company shall each notify the other as promptly as practicable after the receipt by it of any written or oral comments of the SEC or its staff on, or of any written or oral request by the SEC or its staff for

amendments or supplements to, the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any Regulation M-A Filing, and shall promptly supply the other with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives and the SEC or its staff with respect to any of the foregoing filings.

Provided this Agreement has not otherwise been terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.4(a)(i) and (ii) shall not be affected by the public announcement or public disclosure of, or the communication to the Company of, any Acquisition Proposal or inquiry or indication of interest with respect thereto, or by an Adverse Recommendation Change.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholder Meeting solely (i) for up to ten (10) Business Days, if as of the time for which the Company Stockholder Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) there are insufficient shares of Company Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholder Meeting, (ii) for up to ten (10) Business Days, if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that it is necessary to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting in order to give the Company Stockholders sufficient time to evaluate any information or disclosure that the Company has sent to the Company Stockholders or otherwise made available to the Company Stockholders by issuing a press release, filing materials with the

SEC or otherwise (including in connection with any Adverse Recommendation Change), (iii) if the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting by any other Applicable Law, Order or a request from the SEC or its staff or (iv) with the prior written consent of Parent.

The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any Third Party (other than Parent and its Representatives) that may be ongoing as of the date hereof with respect to any actual or potential Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or indication of interest with respect thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.5(a), at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, in response to a bona fide Acquisition Proposal received by the Company after the date hereof that was not solicited in material violation of Section 6.5(a), or, prior to the date of this Agreement in material violation of that certain Letter Agreement dated August 17, 2009, between Parent and the Company (the “Letter Agreement”) and with respect to which the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) (i) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal and (ii) that taking the actions set forth in clauses (A), (B) or (C) below with respect to such Acquisition Proposal is necessary in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Board of Directors of the Company, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may, in response to such Acquisition Proposal, and subject to compliance with Section 6.5(c) and Section 6.5(d), (A) provide access to its properties, Contracts, personnel, books and records and furnish information, data and/or draft agreements with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives, (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives regarding such Acquisition

Proposal or (C) in the event that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or enter into an agreement regarding such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Board of Directors of the Company shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change unless (x) the Company has given Parent five (5) Business Days prior written notice of its intention to take such action and all of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal as initially proposed by such Person (it being understood and agreed that any material change to the consideration offered and/or other change to the material terms of any Superior Proposal as initially proposed by such Person shall require an additional notice to Parent and a new three (3) Business Day notice period), (y) the Board of Directors of the Company shall have considered in good faith and, if requested by Parent in writing, the Company shall have met with Parent to discuss (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) any changes or revisions to this Agreement committed to by Parent and shall not have determined that the Superior Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal if such changes were to be given effect or shall have determined to make such Adverse Recommendation Change even if such changes were to be given effect and (z) the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 6.5.

(c) The Company shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) advise Parent orally and in writing of the receipt by the Company or any of its Representatives of (i) any indication that a Third Party is considering making an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any request for information by any Third Party that may be considering making an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or indication of interest with respect thereto, or (iii) any Acquisition Proposal, in each case, along with the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal, and, to the extent available, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy or a written summary of the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly keep Parent reasonably informed of the status (including any change to the material terms) of any such Acquisition Proposal, potential Acquisition Proposal or information request. Following a determination by the Board of Directors of the Company that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company shall deliver to Parent a written notice advising it that the Board of Directors of the Company has made such determination together with a copy of any draft or definitive agreements related to such Superior Proposal and a summary of the material terms of such Superior Proposal. The Company agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality agreement or other agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement which prohibits the Company from providing such information to Parent.

(d) Prior to furnishing any information to or entering into discussions or negotiations with any Person making an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Section 6.5(b) and Section 6.5(c), the Company shall receive from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement, the terms of which shall be no less favorable to the Company than, in the aggregate, those contained in the letter agreement dated as of May 11, 2009 between the Company and Parent, as amended (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) (a copy of which shall be provided for informational purposes only to Parent). The Company shall promptly provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries not previously provided to Parent or the Parent Representatives that is provided to any Person making an Acquisition Proposal. The

Company agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision or any existing standstill to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, unless the Board of Directors of the Company determines that such action is necessary in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law (in which case, such termination, waiver, amendment or modification shall, to the extent approved by Parent, also apply to the Confidentiality Agreement and the Letter Agreement, to the extent applicable).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Section 6.5 shall prohibit or restrict the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company from (a) taking and/or disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (b) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, such disclosure would be necessary under Applicable Law (including Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act); provided, however, that in no event shall this Section 6.5(e) affect the obligations of the Company otherwise specified in Section 6.5.

Section 6.6 Access to Information

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

Section 6.9 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint release mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent. Thereafter, except with respect to any Adverse Recommendation Change or other action taken by the Company pursuant to Section 6.5, none of the Parties shall (and each of the Parties shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives not to) issue any press release or make any public announcement concerning this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written consent of (a) the Company, in the event the disclosing party is Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives or (b) Parent, in the event the disclosing party is the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives, in each case, with such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld; provided, however, that if a Party determines, after consultation with counsel, that a press release or public announcement is required by, or reasonably necessary in order to comply with, Applicable Law or the rules or regulations of NASDAQ or any other securities exchange on which the Company Stock or the Parent Stock is listed, or is otherwise permitted pursuant to the exercise of the Company’s rights under Section 6.5(b), such Party may make such press release or public announcement, in which case the disclosing Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other Parties reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

Section 6.10 Obligations with Respect to Continuing Employees and Benefit Matters

(a) For a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, subject to compliance with Applicable Law and Parent’s applicable benefit plans, the employees of the Company who remain in the employment of the Final Surviving Entity (the “Continuing Employees”) shall, with respect to benefits of the Company that are not continued after the Effective Time, receive employee benefits substantially similar to those received by similarly situated employees of Parent (taking into account the employees’ performance and geographic location).

(b) Subject to compliance with Applicable Law and Parent’s applicable benefit plans, Parent shall cause the Final Surviving Entity to recognize the service of each Continuing Employee as if such service had been performed with Parent with respect to any plans or programs in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time (i) for purposes of eligibility for vacation, (ii) for purposes of eligibility and participation under any health or welfare plan (other than any post-employment health or post-employment welfare plan), (iii) for purposes of eligibility for any matching contributions under a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code and (iv) for the purpose of determining the amount of any severance payable under any severance plan of general application, except, in each case, to the extent such treatment would result in duplicative benefits.

(c) Any Continuing Employee who (i) is not a party to an employment, consulting, change in control or severance agreement or contract providing severance payments or (ii) has not entered into an employment or consulting agreement with Parent or any of its current Subsidiaries and whose employment is terminated without “cause” within twelve (12) months after the Effective Time and who signs a release in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent (it being understood that the form of release customarily used by the Company shall be reasonably acceptable), shall receive severance benefits equal to two weeks of such Continuing Employee’s annual base salary, plus one week of such Continuing Employee’s annual base salary for each year of service with the Company and/or Parent. Parent shall, and shall cause the Final Surviving Entity to, assume the obligations, including without limitation, any severance obligations, under any employment, consulting, change in control or severance agreement or contract providing severance payments between the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Continuing Employee.

(d) With respect to any group health plan maintained by Parent in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time, and subject to compliance with Applicable Law and any such group health plan, Parent shall, and shall cause the Final Surviving Entity to, take commercially reasonable steps to waive limitations as to preexisting conditions and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such

Continuing Employees to the extent such conditions and exclusions were satisfied or did not apply to such Continuing Employees under the applicable group health plans maintained by the Company prior to the Effective Time.

(e) With regard to payments to be made under the Company’s Annual Cash Incentive Plan and any sales and business development incentive plans (collectively, the “ACIP”) for the second half plan period of 2009 (including, without limitation, any payments due from the first half plan period of 2009), if the Effective Time occurs after the date on which payments to participants under the ACIP are scheduled to be made, the Company shall make all such payments to the participants on the date or dates determined by the Company in accordance with the applicable provisions of the ACIP (the “ACIP Payment Date”). If the Effective Time occurs prior to the date such payments have been made, Parent shall, or shall cause the Final Surviving Entity to, pay each participant under the ACIP the payments that would be due under the applicable terms of such plan, and, if any participant in the ACIP is terminated without “cause” by Parent or the Final Surviving Entity, or any of their Affiliates, prior to the date such payments are made, then, notwithstanding any provision of the ACIP requiring that the participant remain employed as of an applicable payment date in order to receive payment, Parent shall, or shall cause the Final Surviving Entity to, pay each such participant terminated without “cause,” the payment that would otherwise have been paid to such person if such person had remained an employee as of the applicable ACIP Payment Date.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.10 are for the sole benefit of the Parties and nothing in this Section 6.10, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to (i) constitute an amendment to any of the compensation and benefit plans, programs or arrangements maintained for or provided to Continuing Employees or any other employees of Parent prior to, on or following the Effective Time, or of either Final Surviving Entity following the Effective Time, or impose an obligation on any of the Company, Parent or, on or after the Effective Time, either Final Surviving Entity, to establish, continue, amend, terminate or otherwise take any action with respect to any compensation or benefits plan, program or arrangement or (ii) confer upon or give to any Person (including any current or former employees, directors, or independent contractors of any of the Company, Parent, or, on or after the Effective Time, either Final Surviving Entity), other than the Parties hereto, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 6.10). For the avoidance of doubt, no provision of this Agreement shall create any Third Party beneficiary rights in any employee, any beneficiary or dependents thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions or existence of employment and benefits that may be provided to any employee by the Company, Parent or either Final Surviving Entity or under any benefit plan which the Company, Parent or either Final Surviving Entity may maintain.

(g) Unless otherwise directed by Parent at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall not take any action to terminate the Company Benefit Plans that are self-funded “employee benefit plans” within the meaning of ERISA or that are intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (collectively, “Surviving Benefit Plans”). If Parent shall direct the Company to terminate the Surviving Benefit Plans, the Company shall take any and all actions required to terminate the Surviving Benefit Plans as of a date no later than one (1) day prior to the Closing Date. Such actions shall include providing to Parent

executed resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors terminating the Surviving Benefit Plans. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the review and approval of Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Company shall also take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Surviving Benefit Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably require. If the Company is required to terminate its 401(k) plan pursuant to this Section 6.10(g), Parent shall (or cause the Final Surviving Entity to) take such actions as are necessary to cause a retirement plan maintained by it or one of its ERISA Affiliates that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code to accept qualifying direct and indirect rollover distributions of the Continuing Employees’ balances under the Company’s 401(k) plan. In the event that termination of the Company’s 401(k) Plan would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees then the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Time.

Section 6.11 Indemnification and Insurance

(a) The Company shall purchase prior to the Closing an insurance and indemnification policy in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent that provides coverage for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (“D&O Insurance”) covering each such person currently covered by the officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policies of the Company. For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Parent shall, and as applicable shall cause the Final Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries to, honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under each indemnification Contract listed in Section 6.11 of the Company Disclosure Schedule between the Company and/or its applicable Subsidiaries and any of their applicable current or former directors and officers (each an “Indemnified Person”). In addition, for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Parent shall (and shall cause the Final Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries to) cause the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Final Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, and during such six (6) year period, such provisions shall not, unless required by Applicable Law, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who were covered by such provisions.

(b) The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or under Delaware Law or any other Applicable Law or under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person, his or her heirs and his or her Representatives and 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. If Parent or the Final Surviving Entity or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger or

(ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of such surviving corporation shall expressly assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Final Surviving Entity set forth in this Section 6.11. Parent shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the persons referred to in this Section 6.11 in connection with their enforcement of their rights provided in this Section 6.11 and shall unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the obligations of the Surviving Corporation with respect to any and all amounts payable under this Section 6.11.

Section 6.12 Tax Treatment as Reorganization

(a) Each of Parent, the Merger Subsidiaries and the Company intends, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause, the First Step Merger and the Second Step Merger, taken together, to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g).

(b) Unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, each of Parent, the Merger Subsidiaries and the Company shall report the First Step Merger and the Second Step Merger, taken together, as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(c) Each of Parent, the Merger Subsidiaries and the Company agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts in order for the Company to obtain a written tax opinion from its tax counsel (as specified in Section 7.3(d)), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to them, dated as of the Closing Date to the effect that, on the basis of the facts, representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in such opinions, for United States federal income tax purposes, the First Step Merger and the Second Step Merger, taken together, will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (the “Tax Opinion”). As a condition precedent to the rendering of such Tax Opinions, Parent (and the Merger Subsidiaries) and the Company shall, as of the Closing Date, execute and deliver to Dechert LLP or Pillsbury ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP (or such other nationally-recognized law firm as Parent or the Company may select in lieu thereof), officers’ certificates, dated and executed as of the dates of such Tax Opinion (the “Tax Representation Letters”), in substantially the forms attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively. In rendering the Tax Opinion, such counsel shall be entitled to rely on customary assumptions and representations reasonably satisfactory to such counsel, including representations set forth in the Tax Representation Letters.

(d) If for any reason, including any payments required to be made to any holders of Dissenting Shares, the First Step Merger and the Second Step Merger, taken together, will not satisfy the “continuity of interest” requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(e), necessary to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, then, if requested by the Company, the Maximum Cash Amount shall be reduced only to the extent as is necessary for the First Step Merger and the Second Step Merger, taken together, to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the calculations in Section 2.5 shall be re-calculated taking into account such reduced Maximum Cash Amount; provided, that in no event shall the Maximum Stock Amount be exceeded.

Section 6.13 Third Party Consents and Assignments. As soon as practicable following the date hereof, each of Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents, approvals, assignments and waivers under any of its Contracts set forth in Section 4.4(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Section 4.17(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. In connection with seeking such consents, approval, assignments and waivers, each of Parent and the Company shall keep the other party informed of all material developments; provided, that neither party shall be obligated to pay any amount or make any material amendment to any such agreement to obtain any such consent. Such consents, approvals, assignments and waivers shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent. In the event the Merger does not close for any reason, neither party shall have any liability to the other party, its stockholders or any other Person for any costs, claims, liabilities or damages resulting from either party seeking to obtain such consents, approvals, assignments and waivers.

Section 6.14 Takeover Statutes. If any state takeover statute or similar law becomes applicable to this Agreement (including the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby), each of (i) Parent and the Merger Subsidiaries and their Boards of Directors, and (ii) subject to Section 6.5, the Company and its Board of Directors, shall take all commercially reasonable action necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby or otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 6.15 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall be permitted to, take all such steps as may reasonably be necessary to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispositions of Company Stock (including any derivative securities with respect to such shares) by each Person who is or will be 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 6.16 Resignation of Directors and Officers. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent of the resignations of each of (i) the directors of the Company from the Board of Directors of the Company and all committees thereof and (ii) the officers of the Company, such resignations to be effective as of the Effective Time.

Section 6.17 Stock Exchange Listing. Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Parent Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger to be approved for listing upon the Effective Time on NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance.

Section 6.18 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent and its counsel the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any stockholders litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no settlement of any such litigation shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 6.19 Regulatory Filings

(a) Without limiting the generality of the obligations of the parties pursuant to Section 6.5 and subject to Section 6.5(b), Parent and the Company shall collectively determine whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority by any party hereto or any Subsidiary thereof is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the parties hereto will reasonably cooperate with each other in seeking and obtaining any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers or making any such filings or furnishing information required in connection therewith. To the extent reasonably practicable, the parties or their Representatives shall have the right to review in advance and each of the parties will consult the others on, all the information relating to the other and each of their respective Subsidiaries that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that confidential competitively sensitive business information may be redacted from such exchanges. Each of the Company and Parent promptly shall notify and provide a copy to the other party of any written communication received from any Governmental Authority with respect to any filing or submission or with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Company and Parent shall give the other reasonable prior notice of any communication with, and any proposed understanding, undertaking or agreement with, any Governmental Authority regarding any such filing or any such transaction. To the extent reasonably practicable, neither the Company nor Parent shall, nor shall they permit their respective Representatives to, participate independently in any meeting or engage in any substantive conversation with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filing, investigation or other inquiry without giving the other party prior notice of such meeting or conversation and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, without giving the opportunity to the other party to attend or participate. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties to this Agreement will consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses, appearance, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party to this Agreement in connection with Proceedings under or related to the HSR Act.

(b) The parties (i) shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken such actions as may be required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and state securities or applicable Blue Sky Laws in connection with the Merger and (ii) shall promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, effect all necessary applications, notices, petitions and filings, and use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents from any Governmental Entities necessary to consummate the Merger. The Company and Parent shall promptly provide the other with copies of all filings made by such party with any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, other than the portions of such filings that include confidential information not directly related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii) (A) an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred or (B) the Company has failed to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or (C) the Board of Directors of the Company approves, recommends or adopts, or publicly proposes to approve, recommend or adopt, an Acquisition Proposal or approves or recommends that the Company Stockholders tender their shares of Company Stock in any tender offer or exchange offer that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal, (D) the Company shall have failed to hold the Company Stockholder Meeting pursuant to Section 6.4(a) within thirty (30) days of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus having been declared effective by the SEC (the “Required Meeting Date”); provided, however, in the event an amendment to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is required, the Required Meeting Date shall be extended to thirty (30) days from the date such amendment is declared effective by the SEC or (E) the Company shall have materially breached any of its obligations under Section 6.5 and failed to cease all actions and activities constituting such breach within twenty-four (24) hours of written notice from Parent of such breach; or

(ii) prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, (A) the Board of Directors of the Company has received a Superior Proposal, (B) the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to accept such Superior Proposal would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (C) the Company has complied in all material respects with Section 6.5 and (D) the Company agrees to pay the Termination Fee to Parent in accordance with Section 8.3.

In no event shall any Party be liable for punitive damages.

Section 8.3 Termination Fee

(a) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) or Section 8.1(d)(ii), then the Company shall pay to Parent (or as directed by Parent), by wire transfer of same day funds, an amount equal to $8.5 million (such amount, the “Company Termination Fee”) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after such termination). If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii), then, in the event that, (i) at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to such termination any Third Party shall have publicly made, publicly proposed or publicly disclosed an intention to make a bona fide Acquisition Proposal, which bona fide Acquisition Proposal was not retracted or rescinded prior to such termination and (ii) within twelve (12) months of the termination of this Agreement, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal and such Acquisition Proposal is consummated (for this purpose, substituting “fifty percent (50%)” for each reference to “twenty percent (20%)” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal), then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent, by wire transfer of same day funds, the Company Termination Fee, such payment to be made promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) after the consummation of, such Acquisition Proposal.

(b) The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Parent and the Merger Subsidiaries would not enter into this Agreement. If the Company fails to pay the Company Termination Fee when due, and, in order to obtain such payment Parent commences a legal action which results in a judgment against the Company for all or any portion of the Company Termination Fee, the Company shall pay to Parent its reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such action. In circumstances where a Company Termination Fee is payable, upon payment of the Company Termination Fee, the Company shall have no further liability to Parent or the Merger Subsidiaries with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

or to such other address, facsimile number or electronic mail as such Party may hereafter specify for such purpose by notice to the other Parties hereto. All such notices, requests and other communications shall be deemed received on the date of receipt by the recipient thereof if received prior to 5:00 p.m. on a Business Day in the place of receipt.

Section 9.2 Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties of the Parties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement (or the Schedules or Exhibits attached hereto) shall survive the Effective Time. None of the covenants or agreements of the Parties in this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time, other than (a) the covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this ARTICLE 9, in ARTICLE 2 and in Section 6.7(c), Section 6.10 and Section 6.11 and (b) those other covenants and agreements contained herein (including for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants and

agreements contained in Section 6.12(a) and Section 6.12(b)) that by their terms apply, or that are to be performed in whole or in part, after the Effective Time, in each case which shall survive the consummation of the Merger until fully performed.

Section 9.3 Amendments and Waivers

(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each Party; provided, however, that, after approval of the Agreement by the stockholders of the Company, no amendment that, by Applicable Law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant stock exchange, requires further approval by such stockholders may be made without such stockholder approval.

(b) At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Merger Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties under this Agreement, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Parties contained herein or in any instrument delivered pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants or agreements of the other Parties or conditions to the obligations of the waiving Parties contained herein; provided, however, that after any approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company, no extension or waiver that, by Applicable Law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant stock exchange, requires further approval by such stockholders may be made without such stockholder approval. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed by such Party. The failure or delay of any Party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of any rights hereunder.

Section 9.4 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, including Section 8.3, all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring, or required to incur, such expenses, whether or not the First Step Merger and the Second Step Merger are consummated.

Section 9.5 Disclosure Schedule References. The Parties hereto agree that the disclosure of any fact or item in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule shall only be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to (i) the representations and warranties of the Company or Parent and the Merger Subsidiaries, respectively, that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (ii) any other representation or warranty of the Company or Parent and the Merger Subsidiaries, respectively, that is contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of such disclosure to such representation or warranty is reasonably apparent. The inclusion of an item in either the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed an admission by either party that such item is material or represents a material fact, event or circumstance, would or is likely to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect, a Company Material Event or a Parent Material Adverse Effect, exceeds specified monetary thresholds or creates a measure for, or further defines the meaning of, materiality or material adverse effect

and their correlative terms for purposes of this Agreement. No disclosure on any section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule relating to a possible breach or violation of any contract or law shall be construed as an admission or indication that a breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

Section 9.6 Mutual Drafting; Headings. Each Party has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each Party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the Parties. The captions, headings and table of contents contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.7 Assignment; Binding Effect; Parties in Interests

(a) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such assignment shall be null and void; provided, however, that Parent and the Merger Subsidiaries may assign all or any of their rights (but not their obligations) hereunder to one or more of their wholly-owned Affiliates without obtaining any such consent, and Parent and the Final Surviving Entity may assign all or any of their rights or obligations hereunder other than under ARTICLE 2 and Section 6.11, after the Effective Time to any Person. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(b) Except for the provisions of ARTICLE 2 and Section 6.11 (which shall each inure to the benefit of the Persons benefiting therefrom who are the intended third party beneficiaries thereof), nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties hereto any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.8 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims and causes of action arising out of, based upon, or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof, shall be governed by, and construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to choice or conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any laws other than the laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 9.9 Jurisdiction. Any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of, based upon or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought solely in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware and any direct appellate court therefrom). Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in respect of any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of, based upon or

relating to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder and agrees that it will not bring any action arising out of, based upon or related to this Agreement in any other court. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of, based upon or relating to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with Section 9.1, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject mater hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each Party agrees that notice or the service of process in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of, based upon or relating to this Agreement or the rights and obligations arising hereunder shall be properly served or delivered if delivered in the manner contemplated by Section 9.1.

Section 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF, BASED UPON OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF.

Section 9.11 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and that the Parties may enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, with all such matters to take place exclusively in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware), and any such injunction shall be in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled, at law or in equity.

Section 9.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Exhibits, the Schedules, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the other instruments delivered pursuant hereto), the Confidentiality Agreement and the Letter Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Parties and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 9.13 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in any jurisdiction such term or other provision shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, and all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon a determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.14 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and which shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered (by facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise) to the other Parties. Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Parties hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).
