NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

The Offer and the Merger; Closing; Effective Time

1.1 The Offer.

(a) Commencement. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Article VIII, Merger Sub shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on Friday, June 13, 2014) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer to purchase for cash any (subject to the Minimum Condition) and all Shares at the Offer Price. The obligations of Merger Sub to accept for payment and to pay for any Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to only those conditions set forth in Exhibit A (the “Tender Offer Conditions”). The Company agrees that no Shares held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any such Shares held on behalf of third parties) will be tendered pursuant to the Offer.

(b) Waiver of Tender Offer Conditions. Merger Sub expressly reserves the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, to waive any Tender Offer Condition or to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that Merger Sub shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, (i) decrease the Offer Price or change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (ii) decrease the number of Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, (iii) amend, modify or waive satisfaction of the Minimum Condition (as defined in Exhibit A) or the Regulatory Condition (as defined in Exhibit A), (iv) amend, modify or supplement any of the other Tender Offer Conditions in a manner that is adverse to the Company’s stockholders, (v) impose additional conditions to the Offer, (vi) extend or otherwise change the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 1.1(d)) in a manner other than any extension pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement or (vii) amend, modify or supplement any other term of the Offer in a manner that is adverse to the Company’s stockholders; provided, further, however, that the Company shall not consent to any amendment or modification or other change to this Agreement that would provide for an Expiration Date prior to August 4, 2014.

(c) Offer Documents. As soon as practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act), Parent and Merger Sub shall (i) file or cause to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)

-2-

a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) and the related offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and summary advertisement and other ancillary Offer documents and instruments pursuant to which the Offer will be made (collectively, and including any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to the Company’s stockholders as and to the extent required by the applicable U.S. federal securities Laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Laws”). The Company agrees to furnish promptly to Parent and Merger Sub all information concerning the Company required by the Securities Laws to be set forth in the Offer Documents. Subject to Section 6.2, the Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Recommendation (as defined in Section 5.1(c)(ii)). Each party agrees to correct or supplement promptly any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or such amendment or supplement shall become necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and Parent and Merger Sub further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule TO, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and the Offer Documents, as so amended or supplemented, to be disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, in each case, as and to the extent required by the Securities Laws. Parent will provide the Company a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents, and any amendments or supplements thereto, before they are filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, and Parent shall give due consideration to all the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company. Parent shall respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents and provide copies of such comments to the Company promptly upon receipt and provide copies of proposed responses to the Company a reasonable time prior to filing with the SEC and dissemination to the Company’s stockholders to allow for review and prompt comment by the Company, and Parent shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company.

(d) Expiration and Extension of the Offer. The Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 4, 2014 (the initial expiration date, or such subsequent date to which the expiration of the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article VIII (and subject to the Company’s and Parent’s respective rights to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII), (i) Merger Sub shall extend the Expiration Date for any period required by the Securities Laws, the interpretations and positions of the SEC and its staff with respect thereto or the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “NASDAQ”) applicable to the Offer or as may be required by any other Governmental Entity, and (ii) if at any scheduled Expiration Date the Tender Offer Conditions shall not have been satisfied or earlier waived, Merger Sub shall extend the Offer and the Expiration Date to a date that is not more than ten (10) business days after such previously scheduled Expiration Date; provided, however, that Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer and the Expiration Date to a date later than the Termination Date). Merger Sub shall not terminate or withdraw the Offer without the prior written consent of the Company other than in connection with the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article

-3-

VIII prior to any scheduled Expiration Date, Merger Sub shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of such termination) irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “business day” means any day other than Saturday or Sunday or day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by Law or executive order to be closed in New York City.

(e) Acceptance of and Payment for Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the satisfaction or waiver by Merger Sub of the Tender Offer Conditions as of the Expiration Date in accordance with Section 1.1(b), Merger Sub shall promptly on or after the Expiration Date accept for payment (such time of acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Time”) and promptly (and in any event within three (3) business days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act)) pay for all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub, on a timely basis, the funds necessary to purchase any Shares that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer. The Company shall register (and shall instruct its transfer agent to register) the transfer of the Shares accepted for payment by Merger Sub effective promptly after payment has been made for such Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer.

(f) Withholding. Merger Sub shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to the Offer to any of the Company’s stockholders such amounts as Merger Sub is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Merger Sub.

(g) Notices of Guaranteed Delivery. For purposes of this Agreement, and the Offer, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Company and Merger Sub, any Shares subject to notices of guaranteed delivery shall be deemed not to be validly tendered into the Offer unless and until the Shares underlying such notices of guaranteed delivery are delivered to Merger Sub or to an agent of Merger Sub.

1.2 Company Action.

(a) Schedule 14D-9. The Company shall file with the SEC on or prior to the fifth (5^th) business day after the date on which Parent and Merger Sub file the Offer Documents with the SEC (but in no event earlier than the tenth (10^th) business day after the date of this Agreement), a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, and including the exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”), which shall include the notice and other information required by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL such that the Schedule 14D-9 will constitute a valid notice of appraisal rights under Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL and shall, subject to Section 6.2, include the Company Recommendation, and shall disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 to its stockholders, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable Law (including by setting the Stockholder List Date (as defined below) as the record date for the purpose of receiving the notice required

-4-

by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL). The Company agrees promptly to correct the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that it shall become false or misleading in any material respect (and each of Parent and Merger Sub, with respect to information supplied by it specifically for use in the Schedule 14D-9, shall promptly notify the Company of any required corrections of such information and cooperate with the Company with respect to correcting such information) and to supplement the information contained in the Schedule 14D-9 to include any information that shall become necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the Company further agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to its stockholders as and to the extent required by the Securities Laws. Unless the board of directors of the Company has effected a Change of Recommendation, Parent shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendments or supplements thereto before they are filed with the SEC or disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, and the Company shall give due consideration to all the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent. The Company shall respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 and, unless the board of directors of the Company has effected a Change of Recommendation, shall provide copies of such comments to Parent promptly upon receipt, shall provide copies of proposed responses to Parent a reasonable time prior to filing with the SEC and dissemination to the Company’s stockholders to allow for review and prompt comment by Parent and shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent.

(b) Stockholder Information. In connection with the Offer, the Company shall promptly (and no later than three (3) business days following the date hereof) furnish or cause to be furnished to Parent mailing labels containing the names and addresses of all of its stockholders of record as of a date no more than ten (10) days prior to the date on which Parent and Merger Sub file the Offer Documents with the SEC (such date, the “Stockholder List Date”), a non-objecting beneficial owners list and security position listings of Shares held in stock depositories, each as of a recent date, and shall promptly furnish Parent with such additional information, including updated lists of stockholders and beneficial owners, mailing labels, security position listings and computer files, and such other information and assistance as Parent or its agents may reasonably request for the purpose of communicating the Offer to the record holders and beneficial owners of Shares. In addition, in connection with the Offer, the Company shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause third parties to, cooperate with Parent and Merger Sub to disseminate the Offer Documents to the holders of Shares held in or subject to the Stock Plans (as defined in Section 5.1(b)) and to permit such holders of Shares to tender their Shares into the Offer. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer and the Merger, Parent and Merger Sub and their agents (i) shall hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listings and files and will use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and (ii) following the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, shall promptly, at the election of Parent, deliver to the Company or destroy, and will use their reasonable best efforts to cause their agents to deliver to the Company or destroy, all copies and any extract or summaries of such information then in their possession or control and promptly certify to the Company in writing that all such material has been returned or destroyed.

-5-

(c) Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver a certificate signed by an authorized officer of the Company to the effect that that the Company is not, and has not been at any time during the five years preceding the Closing Date, a United States real property holding corporation, as defined in Section 897(c)(2) of the Code, conforming to the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(c)(3) and 1.897-2(h).

1.3 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease. The Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”), and the separate corporate existence of the Company, with all of its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, shall continue unaffected by the Merger, except as set forth in Article II. The Merger shall have the effects specified in the DGCL. The Merger shall be governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL and shall be effected as soon as practicable following the Acceptance Time.

1.4 Closing. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Company and Parent, the closing for the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ as soon as practicable following the Acceptance Time, which shall not be later than the business day (the “Closing Date”) following the day on which the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) shall be satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement.

1.5 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Company and Parent will cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) in such form required by, and executed and acknowledged by, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at the time when the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be agreed by the parties in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

ARTICLE IV

Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock;

Exchange of Certificates

4.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holder of any capital stock of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company:

(a) Merger Consideration. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than (i) Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent and Shares owned by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, and in each case not held on behalf of third parties, and (ii) Shares that are owned by stockholders (“Dissenting Stockholders”) who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for, or lost their right to, appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such Shares (each Share referred to in clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 4.1(a) being an “Excluded Share” and collectively, “Excluded Shares”) shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) without interest. At the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) and each non-certificated Share represented by book-entry (a “Book Entry Share”) (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest, and each Certificate formerly representing Shares or Book Entry Shares owned by Dissenting Stockholders shall thereafter only represent the right to receive the payment to which reference is made in Section 4.2(f).

-7-

(b) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist, subject to any rights the holder thereof may have under Section 4.2(f).

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

4.2 Exchange of Shares.

(a) Paying Agent. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a paying agent selected by Parent with the Company’s prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Shares, a cash amount in immediately available funds necessary for the Paying Agent to make payments under Section 4.1(a) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Paying Agent shall invest the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; 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 Financial Services LLC, respectively, in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, or in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of investment. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 4.1(a) shall be promptly returned to the Surviving Corporation. To the extent that there are any losses with respect to any such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Paying Agent to make prompt cash payment under Section 4.1(a), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to make such payments under Section 4.1(a).

(b) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within two (2) business days), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate representing Shares (other than holders of Excluded Shares) (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e)) to the Paying Agent, and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e)) in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e)) to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a cash amount in immediately available funds (after giving

-8-

effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.2(g)) equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e)) multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(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 IV. 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 evidence, if any, as 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 and the Book Entry Shares of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled.

(c) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate or Book Entry Share is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the cash amount in immediately available funds to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Article IV.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.2(g)) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e)) or Book Entry Shares, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. If any Certificate or Book Entry Share has not been surrendered prior to the date on which Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such time become the property of the Surviving

-9-

Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization, Governmental Entity or other entity of any kind or nature.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event 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, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be reasonably required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.2(g)) equal to (i) the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(f) Appraisal Rights. No Person who has perfected a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares owned by such Person unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such Person’s right to appraisal under the DGCL. Each Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to Shares owned by such Dissenting Stockholder. The Company shall give Parent prompt written notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands.

(g) Withholding. Each of the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares or Company Options (as defined in Section 4.3(a)) such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares or Company Options in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent, as the case may be.

4.3 Treatment of Stock Plans.

(a) Company Options. As soon as practicable following the date hereof (and, in any event, prior to the Acceptance Time), the board of directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the Stock Plans) shall take all actions as may

-10-

be required to provide that (i) each holder of an option that represents the right to acquire Shares (each, a “Company Option”) under the Stock Plans (other than options under the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan) and is outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time (whether or not then vested or exercisable) shall be provided with notice pursuant to which all outstanding Company Options held by such holder shall become fully vested and may be exercised (contingent on, and effective immediately after, the consummation of the Offer) by such holder beginning on the date of such notice through the date that is five (5) business days prior to the Acceptance Time in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Plan under which such Company Option was granted and (ii) to the extent that any outstanding Company Option is not so exercised prior to the Acceptance Time, such Company Option shall, at the Acceptance Time, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into only the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash (less applicable withholdings) equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per share of such Company Option, and (y) the number of Shares underlying such Company Option, which amount shall be paid by Parent or the Company as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within three (3) business days) following the Acceptance Time. In the case of a Company Option with an exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall, at the Acceptance Time, automatically be forfeited for no consideration in exchange therefor.

(b) Treatment of ESPP. The Company shall take all actions necessary to (i) cause the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan not to commence an offering period to purchase Shares that would otherwise begin after the date of this Agreement or to accept payroll deductions to be used to purchase Shares under the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and (ii) to cause the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to terminate prior to the time that an offering period to purchase Shares would otherwise begin.

(c) Corporate Actions. At or prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company, the board of directors of the Company and the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.3(a) and Section 4.3(b).

4.4 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that the Company changes the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Offer Price and the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted.

-11-

excluding any disclosures to the extent such disclosures are general cautionary, predictive or forward-looking statements set forth in any section of a Company Report entitled “Risk Factors” or “Forward-Looking Statements” or any other sections of such filings that do not contain a reasonable level of detail about the risks of which the statements warn) or in the corresponding sections or subsections of the disclosure letter delivered to Parent by the Company prior to entering into this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”) (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosure with respect to, and only with respect to, any other section or subsection to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that:

(a) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or similar entity in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so organized, qualified or in good standing, or to have such power or authority, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made available to Parent (i) complete and correct copies of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ certificates of incorporation and bylaws or comparable governing documents, each as amended to the date hereof, and each as so made available is in effect on the date hereof, and (ii) the minutes of all meetings of stockholders, the Company’s board of directors and each committee thereof since January 1, 2012 through May 1, 2014, which minutes have been redacted as indicated in such copies.

(A) any changes in general United States or global economic conditions, except in the event that such changes in conditions have a materially disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to the adverse effect that such changes have on other pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies (in which case only the incremental disproportionate adverse impact may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Company Material Adverse Effect);

-12-

(B) any changes in conditions generally affecting the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries, except in the event that such changes in conditions have a materially disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to the adverse effect that such changes have on other pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies (in which case only the incremental disproportionate adverse impact may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Company Material Adverse Effect);

(C) any decline in the market price or trading volume of the Shares on the NASDAQ (provided that the exception in this clause (C) shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any change, effect, or development underlying such decline has resulted in or contributed to a Company Material Adverse Effect);

(D) any regulatory, legislative or political conditions or securities, credit, financial or other capital markets conditions, in each case in the United States or any foreign jurisdiction, except in the event that such changes in conditions have a materially disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to the adverse effect that such changes have on other pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies (in which case only the incremental disproportionate adverse impact may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Company Material Adverse Effect);

(E) any failure, in and of itself, by the Company or its Subsidiaries to meet any internal or published projections, forecasts, estimates or predictions in respect of revenues, earnings or other financial or operating metrics for any period (provided that the exception in this clause (E) shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any change, effect, or development underlying such failure has resulted in or contributed to a Company Material Adverse Effect);

(F) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance by any party hereto of its obligations hereunder, or the public announcement or pendency of the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the impact thereof on the relationships, contractual or otherwise, of the Company with its employees or with any other third party;

(G) any litigation arising from allegations of any breach of fiduciary duty or violation of Law relating to this Agreement or the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or compliance by the Company with the terms of this Agreement;

(I) any geopolitical conditions, the outbreak or escalation of hostilities, any acts of war, sabotage, terrorism or military actions, or any escalation or worsening of any such hostilities, acts of war, sabotage, terrorism or military actions threatened or underway as of the date of this Agreement, except in the event that such changes in conditions have a materially disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to the adverse effect that such changes have on other pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies (in which case only the incremental disproportionate adverse impact may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Company Material Adverse Effect);

(J) any action required to be taken pursuant to or in accordance with this Agreement or taken at the request of Parent or Merger Sub; or

(K) any matter set forth in Section 5.1(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter or any other part of the Company Disclosure Letter.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Covered Assets” means the Company’s assets associated with the Key Product.

(b) Capital Structure. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 200,000,000 Shares, of which 150,856,104 Shares were outstanding as of the close of business on June 8, 2014. All of the outstanding Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Each of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity securities of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and owned by the Company or by a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, free and clear of any lien, charge, pledge, security interest, claim or other encumbrance (each, a “Lien”) other than those arising under federal or state Securities Laws. Except as set forth above, there are no preemptive or other outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights, stock appreciation rights, performance units, redemption rights, repurchase rights, agreements, arrangements, calls, commitments or rights of any kind that obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue or sell any shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any securities or obligations convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for, or giving any Person a right to subscribe for or acquire, any equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no securities or obligations evidencing such rights are authorized, issued or outstanding. Upon any issuance of any Shares in accordance with the terms of the Stock Plans, such Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of any Liens other than those arising under federal or state Securities Laws. The Company does not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have the right to vote (or convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the

-14-

stockholders of the Company on any matter. For purposes of this Agreement, a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company shall include any Subsidiary of the Company of which all of the shares of capital stock of such Subsidiary are owned by the Company (or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company).

(i) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement or to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).

(ii) The board of directors of the Company, by resolutions duly adopted by unanimous vote at a meeting duly called and held at which all directors were present and voted (which resolutions have not been subsequently rescinded or modified in any way), has (A) approved, and declared advisable, this Agreement and the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in accordance with the DGCL, (B) determined that this Agreement and such transactions are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) and (C) resolved to recommend that the Company’s stockholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares into the Offer (clauses (A) through (C) of this Section 5.1(c)(ii), the “Company Recommendation”).

-15-

Company and the consummation by the Company of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except those, the failure to make or obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company do not, and the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Company will not, constitute or result in (A) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or the comparable governing documents of any of its Subsidiaries, (B) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) or a default under, the creation or acceleration of any obligations under, or the creation of a Lien on any of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to, any material agreement, lease, license, contract, note, mortgage, indenture, arrangement or other obligation (each, a “Contract”) binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (C) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 5.1(d)(i), a violation of any Law to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, except, in the case of clause (B) or (C) of this Section 5.1(d)(ii), for any such breach, violation, termination, default, creation, acceleration or change that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Company Reports; Financial Statements.

(i) The Company has filed or furnished, as applicable, on a timely basis, all forms, statements, certifications, reports and documents required to be filed or furnished by it with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), since December 31, 2010 (the “Applicable Date”) (the forms, statements, certifications, reports and documents filed or furnished since the Applicable Date and those filed or furnished subsequent to the date hereof, including any amendments thereto, the “Company Reports”).

(A) The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) is effective in providing reasonable assurance (I) that the Company maintains records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect its transactions and dispositions of assets, (II) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, (III) that transactions are executed only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors of the Company and (IV) regarding prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets.

(B) Except as would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, the Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is recorded and reported on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the preparation of the Company’s filings with the SEC and other public disclosure documents. The Company has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date of this Agreement, to the Company’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company (1) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (2) any fraud, known to the Company, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

-17-

(f) Absence of Certain Changes. Other than in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, since December 31, 2013, the Company and its Subsidiaries have conducted their respective businesses only in the ordinary course of such businesses and there has not been or occurred:

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or subject to the provisions of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or award of any Governmental Entity specifically imposed upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(i) All material benefit and compensation plans, contracts, policies or arrangements, whether written or unwritten, in each case, which are sponsored, maintained or contributed to (or required to be contributed to) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on behalf of current or former employees, independent contractors or directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries, or with respect to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has any material liability including, but not limited to, “employee benefit plans” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and deferred compensation, severance, stock option, stock purchase, stock appreciation rights, stock based and incentive plans (the “Benefit Plans”) are listed on Section 5.1(h)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

All Non-U.S. Benefit Plans are in compliance with their terms and applicable local Laws, except for such matters as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

The Company, its Subsidiaries and ERISA Affiliates are and have been in compliance with the applicable requirements of COBRA, except for such matters as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligation to gross up, indemnify or otherwise reimburse any Person for any excise taxes, interest or penalties incurred pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code.

(ix) Each plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined for purposes Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 409A of the Code has been operated in compliance with such section and all applicable regulatory guidance (including, without limitation, proposed regulations, notices, rulings and final regulations), except for such matters as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligation to gross up, indemnify or otherwise reimburse any Person for any excise taxes, interest or penalties incurred pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

(x) The term “Designated Officer” when used in this Agreement shall mean an “officer” of the Company for purposes of Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act.

Except with respect to regulatory matters covered by Section 6.3, no investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated an intention to conduct the same, except for such investigations or reviews, the outcome of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries each has obtained (and there is no suspension currently in effect or cancellation of) and is in compliance with all permits, certifications, approvals, registrations, consents, authorizations, franchises, variances, exemptions and orders issued or granted by a Governmental Entity (“Licenses”) necessary to conduct its business as presently conducted, except those the absence of which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(a) No Solicitation or Negotiation. The Company agrees that, except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.2, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of the officers and directors of it or its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall instruct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives (such directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives, collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly:

(i) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal;

(ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal with any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any designees of Parent or Merger Sub), or provide any non-public information or data to any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any designees of Parent or Merger Sub) relating to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or to afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any designees of Parent or Merger Sub); or

-36-

(b) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

“Acquisition Proposal” means (i) any proposal or offer with respect to a merger, joint venture, partnership, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) any direct or indirect acquisition by any Person (or the equity holders of such Person) or “group” (as defined in or under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) resulting in, or proposal or offer (including a tender offer), which if consummated would result in, any Person (or the equity holders of such Person) or “group” (as defined in or under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) becoming the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, in one or a series of related transactions, of 15% or more of the total voting power or of any class of equity securities of the Company, or 15% or more of the consolidated total assets (including equity securities of its Subsidiaries) of the Company (measured by the fair market value thereof), in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iii) any proposal of offer with respect to any license (whether exclusive or non-exclusive) pertaining to commercialization rights for the Key Product, IDX-21459 or Samatasvir; provided that no research or development collaborations described in any Material Contract as in effect on the date of this Agreement, subject to Section 6.1(a)(xvi)(C), shall be considered or deemed to be an Acquisition Proposal.

“Intervening Event” means an event, fact, occurrence or circumstance that was not known to the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof on the date of this Agreement (or if known, the consequences of which were not known to the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof as of the date of this Agreement), which event, fact, occurrence or circumstance, or any consequence thereof, becomes known to the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof prior to the Acceptance Time; provided, however, that in no event shall any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry, offer or proposal that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, constitute an Intervening Event.

“Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that would result in any Person (or the equity holders of such Person) or “group” (as defined in or under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) becoming the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the consolidated total assets (including equity securities of its Subsidiaries) of the Company (measured by any of the fair market value thereof) or more than 50% of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Company that the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof has determined in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the Person making the proposal, and if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (after taking into account any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by Section 6.2(c) and Section 8.3(a) of this Agreement).

-37-

(c) No Change in Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement. The board of directors of the Company and each committee of the board of directors shall not:

(i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation (it being understood that the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof may take no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal until the close of business on the tenth (10th) business day after the commencement of such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act without such action being considered an adverse modification); or

(ii) except as expressly permitted by, and after compliance with, Section 8.3(a), cause or permit the Company to enter into any acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.2(a) entered into in compliance with Section 6.2(a)) (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement” ) relating to any Acquisition Proposal.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the Acceptance Time, the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof may withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify the Company Recommendation (a “Change of Recommendation” ) if (i) (x) the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof receives an Acquisition Proposal that it determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel constitutes a Superior Proposal and the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (y) an Intervening Event occurs and as a result thereof the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (ii) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect a Change of Recommendation describing in reasonable detail the reasons for such Change of Recommendation (a “Recommendation Change Notice”); (iii) if applicable, the Company has provided Parent a copy of all definitive agreements (including all financing documents) with respect to such Superior Proposal; (iv) if requested by Parent, the Company shall have discussed and negotiated in good faith, and shall have made its Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith, with Parent’s Representatives any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the failure to make such Change of Recommendation would no longer be inconsistent with the board of directors’ fiduciary duties (and, if applicable, such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal) during the period beginning at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the day of delivery by the Company to Parent of such Recommendation Change Notice and ending at the passage of seventy-two (72) hours, or if such seventy-two (72) hour period does not include at least one (1) full business day (beginning at 9 a.m. and ending at 5 p.m. Eastern Time), ending at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the first business day commencing after the passage of such seventy-two (72) hour period (the “Match Period”) (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to any material term or condition of any Superior Proposal shall require a new Recommendation Change Notice and a new Match Period); and (v) no earlier than the end of the Match Period following receipt of the

-38-

Recommendation Change Notice by Parent, the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel), after considering the terms of any binding proposal to amend or this Agreement by Parent, that the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would still be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and, if applicable, the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement, the Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of the Recommendation Change Notice continues to constitute a Superior Proposal, and in such case the Company may also take actions pursuant to Section 8.3(a).

(d) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company or the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal, including taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders), or (ii) making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to the stockholders of the Company); provided, however, that the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof shall not make any Change of Recommendation except in accordance with Section 6.2(c) of this Agreement.

(e) Existing Discussions. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause their Representatives to, immediately (i) cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) request and use reasonable best efforts to cause the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any Person within the last twelve (12) months for the purposes of evaluating a possible Acquisition Proposal and (iii) prohibit and prevent any third party from accessing any physical or electronic data room relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal.

(f) Notice.

-42-

6.7 Employee Benefits.

(a) Parent agrees that, during the period commencing at the Acceptance Time and ending on the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Acceptance Time occurs, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided (1) to each employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries who is employed as of immediately prior to the Acceptance Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) base salary and annual target cash incentive opportunity (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any equity-based compensation or benefits) which are, in each case, no less than those provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Acceptance Time to each such Continuing Employee, (2) to the Continuing Employees, welfare benefits and perquisites (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any equity-based compensation or benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Acceptance Time under either the Benefit Plans or employee benefit plans maintained by Parent or its Affiliates, at Parent’s sole discretion, and (3) to each Continuing Employee, severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits provided by Parent under the Merck & Co., Inc. U.S. Separation Benefits Plan.

(b) For purposes of vesting, benefit accrual (solely for purposes of determining severance, vacation and sick time credit) and eligibility to participate under the employee benefit plans, programs and policies of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Continuing Employee after the Acceptance Time (including the Benefit Plans) (the “New Plans” ), each Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Acceptance Time, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Acceptance Time, to credit for such service under any similar Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Acceptance Time; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent will use reasonable best efforts to cause (i) each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is replacing comparable coverage under a Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Acceptance Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans” )), and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, any evidence of insurability requirements, all pre-existing condition exclusions and

-43-

actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent such conditions were inapplicable or waived under the comparable Old Plan. Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year.

(c) Parent hereby acknowledges that a “change in control” or other event with similar import, within the meaning of the Benefit Plans that contain such terms will occur upon the Acceptance Time. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and any successor thereto to, honor, assume, fulfill and discharge the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations under the Company’s Benefit Plans listed on Section 6.7(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter. No later than the Acceptance Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause the Change in Control Severance Guidelines for Employees (applicable to VP Grade and 1-18 Grades) to terminate without any liability to the Company or its Subsidiaries, effective as of immediately prior to the Acceptance Time.

The reimbursement of Parent Expenses pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall not relieve the Company of any subsequent obligation to pay any applicable Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.5(b) (less the amount of Parent Expenses previously reimbursed by the Company).

(c) The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.5 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay the amount due pursuant to Section 8.5(b) and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent or Merger Sub commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the amount set forth in Section 8.5(b) or any portion thereof, the Company shall pay to Parent or Merger Sub its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount or portion thereof at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment. Parent’s right to receive the Termination Fee and/or Parent Expenses from the Company pursuant to this Section 8.5 and Parent’s right to specific performance pursuant to Section 9.4(c) shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates against the Company, its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current, or future general or limited partners, stockholders, directors, officers, managers, members, Affiliates, agents or other Representatives for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the failure of the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, and upon payment of such amount, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current, or future general or limited partners, stockholders, directors, officers, managers, members, Affiliates, agents or other Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event will the Parent or Merger Sub be entitled to both the payment of the Termination Fee and specific performance of this Agreement. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that: (i) upon any such termination of this Agreement, the payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.5(b) shall be in full and complete satisfaction of any and all monetary damages of Parent and Merger Sub arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any breach by the Company), the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure; and (ii) in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub be entitled to seek or obtain any recovery or judgment in excess of the Termination Fee (plus, in the case the Termination Fee is not timely paid, the amounts described in the first sentence of this Section 8.5(c)) against the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their

-52-

respective former, current, or future general or limited partners, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, managers, members, Affiliates, agents or other Representatives or any of their respective assets, and in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub be entitled to seek or obtain any other damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages for, or with respect to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including any breach by the Company), the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure; provided, however, that this Section 8.5(c) shall not limit the right of the parties hereto to specific performance of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(c) prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARENT AND MERGER SUB NOR THE COMPANY MAKES OR RELIES ON ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR INDUCEMENTS, AND EACH HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR INDUCEMENTS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OTHER INFORMATION, MADE BY, OR MADE AVAILABLE BY, ITSELF OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES, WITH RESPECT TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DELIVERY OR DISCLOSURE TO THE OTHER OR THE OTHER’S REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY DOCUMENTATION OR OTHER INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING.

-56-

9.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 6.9 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance) only, Parent and the Company hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other party hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. The parties hereto further agree that the rights of third party beneficiaries under Section 6.9 shall not arise unless and until the Effective Time occurs. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 9.2 without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

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

9.9 Definitions. Each of the terms set forth in Annex A is defined in the Section of this Agreement set forth opposite such term.

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

9.11 Interpretation; Construction. (a) The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section or Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section of or Exhibit

-57-

to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

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

(c) Each party hereto has or may have set forth information in its respective disclosure letter in a section thereof that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in a disclosure letter to this Agreement shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

9.12 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by operation of law or otherwise; provided, however, that, Parent may designate, by written notice to the Company, another wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiary to be a Constituent Corporation in lieu of Merger Sub, in which event all references herein to Merger Sub shall be deemed references to such other Subsidiary, except that all representations and warranties made herein with respect to Merger Sub as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to such other Subsidiary as of the date of such designation; provided that any such designation shall not impede or delay the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise impair the rights of the stockholders of the Company under this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement is void.

In addition and notwithstanding any other provisions of the Offer, but subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Merger Sub shall not be required to, and Parent shall not be required to cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to Merger Sub’s obligation to pay for or return tendered Shares promptly after termination or withdrawal of the Offer), pay for any Shares validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer (and not theretofore accepted for payment or paid for) if at any time on or after the date of the commencement of the Offer and prior to the Expiration Date, any of the following events shall occur and be continuing at the Expiration Date:

(1)

this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms;

(2)

any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Law (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that (a) is in effect and restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits consummation of the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (b) compels Parent or Merger Sub to agree to or implement a Non–Required Remedy;

(3)

(i) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement that are qualified by reference to Company Material Adverse Effect (other than the representations and warranties set forth in the first and third sentences of Section 5.1(b) (Capital Structure) and Section 5.1(c)(i) (Corporate Authority)) shall not have been true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Expiration Date as though made on and as of such date and time (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall not have been true and

Exh. A-1

correct as of such earlier date); (ii) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement that are not qualified by reference to Company Material Adverse Effect (other than the representations and warranties set forth in the first and third sentences of Section 5.1(b) (Capital Structure) and Section 5.1(c)(i) (Corporate Authority) shall not have been true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Expiration Date as though made on and as of such date and time (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall not have been true and correct as of such earlier date); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the condition set forth in this clause (3)(ii) shall be deemed to have been satisfied even if any representations and warranties of the Company are not so true and correct if the failure of such representations and warranties of the Company to be so true and correct, individually or in the aggregate, have not resulted in a Company Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) the representations and warranties set forth in the first and third sentences of Section 5.1(b) (Capital Structure) and Section 5.1(c)(i) (Corporate Authority) shall not have been true and correct in all respects, except for de minimis inaccuracies, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Expiration Date as though made on and as of such date and time (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall not have been true and correct as of such earlier date);

(4)

the Company shall not have performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by it under this Agreement at or prior to the Expiration Date; or

(5)

the Company shall not have delivered to Parent dated as of the Expiration Date a certificate signed on behalf of the Company by a senior executive officer of the Company to the effect that the conditions set forth in clauses (3) and (4) have been satisfied as of immediately prior to the Expiration Date.

The foregoing conditions shall be for the sole benefit of Parent and Merger Sub and may be asserted or waived by Parent or Merger Sub in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, in each case, except for the Minimum Condition and the Regulatory Condition, subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable Law. The foregoing conditions shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, the rights and obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to extend, terminate or modify the Offer subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any Shares subject to notices of guaranteed delivery shall be deemed not to be validly tendered for purposes of satisfying the Minimum Condition unless and until the Shares underlying such notices of guaranteed delivery are delivered to or on behalf of Merger Sub. Any reference in this Exhibit A or elsewhere in this Agreement to a condition or requirement being satisfied shall be deemed to be satisfied if such condition or requirement is so waived. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meaning ascribed to them elsewhere in this Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached.
