Without limiting the rights and restrictions under Exhibit A, Merger Sub expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (A) increase the Offer Price, (B) waive any Offer Condition or (C) modify any of the other terms or conditions of the Offer, except that, unless otherwise provided by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company, Merger Sub shall not (1) reduce the Offer Price, (2) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer (other than by adding consideration), (3) reduce the number of Shares subject to the Offer, (4) amend, alter, waive or change the Minimum Condition, (5) add to the Offer Conditions or (6) amend, alter, waive or change any of the Offer Conditions in a manner that adversely affects, or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect, any holder of Shares.

(b) The Offer shall expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern time on the date that is 20 Business Days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) after the commencement of the Offer (such initial expiration date and time, the “Initial Expiration Date”) or, in the event the Initial Expiration Date has been extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Date has been so extended, the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the parties’ respective termination rights under Section 8.1: (i) if, as of the then-scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition has not been satisfied or waived, (x) Merger Sub may, in its discretion (and without the consent of the Company or any other Person), extend the Offer on one or more occasions, for an additional period of up to 10 Business Days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied,

2

Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub not to, terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Date without the prior written consent of the Company except if this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, terminate the Offer promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of such termination of this Agreement), and Merger Sub shall not acquire any Shares pursuant to the Offer. If the Offer is terminated by Merger Sub, or if this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 prior to the acquisition of Shares in the Offer, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, promptly (and in any event within two Business Days of such termination) return, and shall cause any depositary or other agent acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, in accordance with Law, all Shares tendered into the Offer to the registered holders thereof.

As promptly as reasonably practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall (a) file a Schedule TO (together with all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer, which shall contain or shall incorporate by reference Merger Sub’s offer to purchase the Shares pursuant to the Offer (the “Offer to Purchase”) and forms of the related letter of transmittal and form of summary advertisement (the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and such other documents, together with all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer

3

In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to provide the Company and its counsel any comments, whether written or oral, that Parent may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. Parent and Merger Sub shall not respond to the SEC prior to the Company having a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such responses and shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in any discussions or meetings with the SEC related to the Offer Documents or the Offer.

Section 3.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub:

(a) Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) any Excluded Shares and (ii) any Dissenting Shares) shall thereupon be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Offer Price in cash, without interest, and subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter only represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in accordance with Section 3.3, without interest.

(b) Each Share held in the treasury of the Company or owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, “Excluded Shares”) shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, or securities convertible into or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of such capital stock, shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or subdivision or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period (excluding, in each case, normal quarterly cash dividends), merger or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted so as to provide Parent and the holder of Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, that nothing in this Section 3.1(d) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 3.2 Treatment of Options.

(a) At the Effective Time, each option (each, a “Company Stock Option”) to purchase Shares granted under any Company Stock Plan, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, the Surviving Corporation shall pay to each former holder of any such cancelled Company Stock Option as soon as practicable following the Effective Time an amount

7

in cash (without interest, and subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax) equal to the product of (i) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share under such Company Stock Option and (ii) the number of Shares subject to such Company Stock Option; provided, that if the exercise price per Share of any such Company Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Stock Option shall be automatically cancelled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof and shall have no further force or effect.

(b) The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that, as of the Effective Time, (i) the Company Stock Plans and the Company ESPP shall terminate and (ii) no holder of a Company Stock Option or any participant in any Company Stock Plan or any other employee incentive or benefit plan, program or arrangement or any non-employee director plan maintained by the Company shall have any rights to acquire, or other rights in respect of, the capital stock of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries, except the right to receive the payment contemplated by Section 3.2(a) in cancellation and settlement thereof.

(c) Subject to Section 3.4, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to make all payments to former holders of Company Stock Options required under this Section 3.2 through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll or, with respect to non-employees, accounts payable, by no later than 15 Business Days following the Closing Date. Alternatively, and in the sole discretion of Parent, Parent may make such payments or deposit with the Paying Agent an amount necessary to make such payments.

Section 3.3 Exchange and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) to act as agent for the holders of Shares to receive the funds to which holders of such Shares shall become entitled pursuant to Section 1.1(c) and to act as agent for the holders of Shares to receive the funds to which holders of such shares shall become entitled pursuant to Section 3.1(a). The Paying Agent agreement pursuant to which Parent shall appoint the Paying Agent shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. Parent shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of Shares contemplated by this Article III. At or promptly following the Acceptance Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, cash sufficient to make payment of the cash consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.1(c) and Section 3.1(a) (together, the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than two Business Days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate (“Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates held by such Person shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and which

8

letter shall be in customary form and contain such other provisions as Parent or the Paying Agent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as the Paying Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) the Merger Consideration for each such Share, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Promptly after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the third Business Day thereafter, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to issue and send to each holder of uncertificated Shares represented by book entry (“Book-Entry Shares”), other than with respect to Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares, a check or wire transfer for the amount of cash that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(a) in respect of such Book-Entry Shares, without such holder being required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent, and such Book-Entry Shares shall then be automatically cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration.

(c) If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that such Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax is not applicable.

(d) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.3, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof, pursuant to this Article III, without any interest thereon.

(e) All cash paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares formerly represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for transfer or transfer is sought for Book-Entry Shares, such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article III, subject to applicable Law in the case of Dissenting Shares.

(f) The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Payment Fund as directed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, on a daily basis; provided that (i) no such investment will relieve Parent or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article III and (ii) no such investment will have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement. Any interest or other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent,

9

upon demand. No loss incurred with respect to such investments will decrease the amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the amount of cash held by the Paying Agent is insufficient to pay the aggregate cash consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.1(c) and Section 3.1(a), Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make all such payment pursuant to Section 1.1(c) and Section 3.1(a).

(g) None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Payment Fund properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Payment Fund remaining unclaimed by holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) 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 Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such customary amount as Parent or the Paying Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(i) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 3.1(a) to pay for Shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected as described in Section 3.5 shall be returned to Parent, upon demand; provided that the parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall not be required under this Section 3.3 or otherwise to deposit with the Paying Agent any cash to pay Merger Consideration with respect to Shares as to which its holder has purported to deliver a notice or demand of appraisal that has not been withdrawn prior to the Closing Date.

(j) Any portion of the Payment Fund (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent or its designated Affiliate, upon demand, and any remaining holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (except to the extent representing Excluded Shares or Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter look only to Parent and the Surviving Corporation as general creditors thereof for payment of the Merger Consideration (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws), without interest.

Section 3.4 Withholding Rights. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall each be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Shares, Company Stock Options pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall properly remit any amount so deducted and withheld to the appropriate Governmental Entity.

10

Section 3.5 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect, or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost, such holder’s right to appraisal under the DGCL. Dissenting Shares shall be treated in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses any such right to appraisal, each such Share of such holder shall thereupon be converted into and become exchangeable only for the right to receive, as of the later of the Effective Time and the time that such right to appraisal has been irrevocably lost, withdrawn or expired, the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1(a). The Company shall provide prompt notice to Parent of any written demands for appraisal of any Shares, attempted withdrawals of such written notices or written demands and any other written instruments received by the Company relating to rights to appraisal, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands (provided, that such direction may not result in a binding obligation on the part of the Company that is effective prior to the Effective Time). The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, settle or offer to settle, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

Section 6.2 No Solicitation; Recommendation of the Merger.

(a) From and after the execution of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the Company shall not, and shall authorize any of its Subsidiaries or any director, officer, employee, investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other advisor, agent or representative (collectively, “Representatives”) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and shall direct such Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, to (i) solicit, initiate, endorse, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to, or the making or completion of, any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry, proposal or offer that is reasonably likely to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information or data with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) resolve, agree or propose to do any of the foregoing. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and instruct the Representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries to, (A) immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions and negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal and immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such Person, (B) request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal pursuant to the terms of any Contract to do so, and (C) not terminate, waive, amend, release or modify any provision of any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is a party with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal, and shall enforce the provisions of any such agreement, which shall include seeking any injunctive relief available to enforce such agreement unless, in each case with respect to this clause (C), the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel to the Company Board, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, in which case the Company may, with prior written notice to Parent, take such action with respect to such standstill agreement solely to the extent necessary to permit the applicable Person, if it has not been solicited in violation of this Section 6.2(a), to make, on a confidential basis to the Company Board, an Acquisition Proposal, conditioned upon such Person agreeing to disclosure of such Acquisition Proposal to Parent, in each case as contemplated by this Section 6.2.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.2(a) or anything else to the contrary herein, if at any time following the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Acceptance Time, (1) the Company directly or indirectly receives a written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board believes in good faith to be bona fide, (2) such Acquisition Proposal was unsolicited and did not otherwise result from a breach of Section 6.2(a), (3) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, and (4) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that the failure to take the actions referred to in clause (x) or (y) below would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, then the Company may (x) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person (including its Representatives (including, for these purposes, sources of financing)) making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement containing confidentiality terms substantially similar to, and no less favorable to the Company than, those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”); provided, that (I) the Company shall provide Parent for informational purposes only a non-redacted copy of each confidentiality agreement the Company

48

has executed in accordance with this Section 6.2 promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) after execution thereof and (II) any non-public information provided to any such Person shall have been previously provided to Parent or shall be provided to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person, and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall not provide (and shall instruct its Representatives not to provide) any non-public information determined by the Company to be commercially or competitively sensitive in connection with the actions permitted by this Section 6.2(b), except in accordance with customary “clean room” or other similar procedures designed to limit any adverse effect of the sharing of such information on the Company, which procedures shall be consistent in all material respects with the Company’s practices in dealing with the disclosures of such information to Parent or its Representatives.

(c) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall: (i) (A) withdraw (or modify or qualify in any manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub), or fail to include in the Schedule 14D-9, the Company Board Recommendation, (B) recommend or otherwise declare advisable the approval by the Company stockholders of any Acquisition Proposal or (C) resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions (each such action set forth in this Section 6.2(c)(i) being referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”); or (ii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract, except for an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (each, an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), in each case constituting or related to, or which is intended to or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, or resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions.

(d)

(i) Notwithstanding Section 6.2(c), at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, in response to an Acquisition Proposal received after the execution of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of Section 6.2(a) and that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company Board may, if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, taking into account all adjustments to the terms of this Agreement that may be offered by Parent pursuant to this Section 6.2, (x) make an Adverse Recommendation Change, or (y) cause the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(d)(ii) and concurrently enter into a binding and definitive Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company may not make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii) unless:

(A) the Company notifies Parent (the “Adverse Recommendation Change Notice”) in writing at least four Business Days (the “Notice Period”) before taking that action or actions of its intention to do so, and specifies the reasons therefor, including the terms and conditions of, and the identity of the Person making, such Superior

49

Proposal, and contemporaneously furnishes a copy (if any) of the proposed Alternative Acquisition Agreement and any other relevant transaction documents (it being understood and agreed that (x) any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notice by the Company and the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two Business Day remains in such period subsequent to the time the Company notifies Parent of any such amendment, and (y) none of (1) the determination in itself by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, (2) the delivery in itself by the Company to Parent of the notifications required by Section 6.2(d) or of an Adverse Recommendation Change Notice, or (3) the public disclosure of the matters described in clause (1) or (2), will constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change (in each case of clauses (1), (2) and (3), to the extent in accordance with this Agreement)); and

(B) if Parent makes a proposal during the Notice Period to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company Board, after taking into consideration the adjusted terms and conditions of this Agreement as proposed by Parent, continues to determine in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor) that such Superior Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement, as applicable, would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law.

(ii) During the Notice Period prior to its effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement as referred to above, the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent seeks to negotiate) regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms (including the payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(b), if applicable).

(e) From and after the execution of this Agreement until the earlier of the Acceptance Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, in addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 6.2(a), Section 6.2(b), Section 6.2(c) and Section 6.2(d), the Company promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of receipt) shall advise Parent in writing in the event the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives receives (i) any Acquisition Proposal or (ii) any proposal or offer that is or would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, in each case together with the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal, and a copy of any written proposal, offer or draft agreement provided by such Person. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed (orally and in writing) in all material respects on a timely basis of the status and details (including, within 24 hours after the occurrence of any material amendment, modification, development, discussion or negotiation) of any such Acquisition Proposal, proposal or offer, including furnishing copies of any material written inquiries, material correspondence and draft documentation, and written summaries of any material oral inquiries or discussions. Without limiting any of the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent in writing if it determines to begin providing information or

50

to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Section 6.2(b) or Section 6.2(d) and shall in no event begin providing such information or engaging in such discussions or negotiations prior to providing such notice. The Company shall provide Parent with at least 24 hours prior notice (or such shorter notice as may be provided to the Company Board) of a meeting of the Company Board (or a committee thereof) at which the Company Board (or committee thereof) is reasonably expected to consider an Acquisition Proposal.

(f) The Company agrees that any material breach of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.2 by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acting or purporting to act in their capacities on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement by the Company.

(g) The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement that would restrict the Company’s ability to comply with any of the terms of this Section 6.2, and represents that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any such agreement.

(h) The Company shall not take any action to exempt any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates) from the restrictions on “business combinations” contained in Section 203 of the DGCL (or any similar provision of any other Takeover Law) or otherwise cause such restrictions not to apply, or agree to do any of the foregoing, in each case unless such actions are taken substantially concurrently with a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii).

(i) Nothing contained in Section 6.2 shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change (including for purposes of Section 8.1(c)(ii)) unless the Company Board expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such disclosure.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company Board may, in response to a material fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances (including any unforeseen acceleration or deceleration of existing changes, developments or circumstances) (other than an Acquisition Proposal occurring or arising after the execution of this Agreement or any event reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal) that (a) was not known to the Company Board as of the execution of this Agreement nor reasonably foreseeable as of or prior to the execution of this Agreement and (b) does not relate in any way to (i) any Acquisition Proposal or any event reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any events, changes or circumstances relating to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates, (iii) clearance of the Merger or the expiration or termination of any waiting period under the Antitrust Laws, or (iv) the results of, or any data derived from, any pre-clinical or clinical testing being conducted by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (such material fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances, an “Intervening Event”), withdraw or modify, or fail to make, in a manner adverse to Parent or

51

Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation (which shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change) if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel to the Company Board, that in light of such Intervening Event, the failure of the Company Board to effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; provided that no fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances shall constitute an Intervening Event if such fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances resulted from or arose out of the announcement, pendency or consummation of the Offer or the Merger; provided, further, that the Company Board shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.2(i) unless the Company Board has (A) provided to Parent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the facts underlying the Company Board’s determination that an Intervening Event has occurred, and the reasons for the Adverse Recommendation Change, in reasonable detail, it being understood that neither (1) the delivery in itself by the Company to Parent of such notice, nor (2) the public disclosure of the matters described in clause (1), will constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change (in each case of clauses (1) and (2), to the extent in accordance with this Agreement); (B) during such three Business Day period, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent (to the extent Parent seeks to negotiate) to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for an Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of the Intervening Event; and (C) if Parent makes a proposal during such three Business Day period to amend this Agreement, the Company Board, after taking into consideration the amended terms and conditions of this Agreement as proposed by Parent, continues to determine in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel to the Company Board, that the failure of the Company Board to effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change in light of such Intervening Event would continue to reasonably be expected to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law.

(k) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal or offer with respect to any transaction or series of related transactions involving (A) any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase or license, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, and whether through any merger, reorganization, consolidation, tender offer, self-tender, exchange offer, stock acquisition, asset acquisition, binding share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture, licensing or similar transaction, or otherwise, of (x) assets or businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries that generate 20% or more of the net revenues or net income (for the 12-month period ending on the last day of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter) or that represent 20% or more of the total assets (based on fair market value) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, immediately prior to such transaction, or (y) 20% or more of any class of capital stock, other equity securities or voting power of the Company or any resulting parent company of the Company, or (B) any sale or license by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of (other than any non-exclusive and non-material license granted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the Ordinary Course of Business), or joint venture, partnership, collaboration or monetization transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to, bomedemstat, in each case other than the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

52

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that has not been solicited in violation of Section 6.2(a) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor), taking into account all material legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal (including the financing terms) and the Person making the proposal (including the ability of such Person to finance and consummate such proposal), is (A) more favorable to the stockholders of the Company from a financial point of view than the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any adjustment to the terms and conditions proposed by Parent in response to such proposal) and (B) reasonably likely of being completed on the terms proposed; provided, that, for purposes of this definition of “Superior Proposal,” references in the term “Acquisition Proposal” to “20%” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

Section 6.3 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto, signed on behalf of each of the parties in interest at the time of the amendment.

Section 8.5 Extension of Time; Waiver.

Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such party. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
