1.1 The Mergers. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the First Effective Time, Corporate Sub shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Corporate Sub shall thereupon cease. The Company shall be the surviving company in the Initial Merger, and the separate corporate existence of the Company with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Initial Merger, except as set forth in Article II. The Initial Merger shall have the effects specified in the DGCL.

(b) Immediately following the Initial Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Second Effective Time, the Initial Surviving Company shall be merged with and into Merger LLC and the separate corporate existence of the Initial Surviving Company shall thereupon cease. Merger LLC shall be the surviving company in the Subsequent Merger (the “Final Surviving Entity”), and the separate company existence of Merger LLC with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Subsequent Merger, except as set forth in Article II. The Subsequent Merger shall have the effects specified in the DGCL and the LLC Act.

(c) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the parties hereto intend that (i) the Initial Merger and the Subsequent Merger be treated as a single integrated transaction that will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, (ii) Parent and the Company each be a party to the reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code and (iii) this Agreement will constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the Code (clauses (i)-(iii) collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”).

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON SECURITIES;

EXCHANGE

4.1 Effect on Capital Stock of Initial Merger.

(a) At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the Initial Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any capital stock of the Company, Parent, Corporate Sub or Merger LLC:

-4-

(i) Merger Consideration. Each share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock,” and each a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than (i) Shares owned by Parent or the Company, 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 appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (each such Share referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, an “Excluded Share” and, collectively, “Excluded Shares”)) shall be converted into the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Stock Consideration”) plus $53.75 in cash (the “Cash Consideration” and, together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). At the First Effective Time, all the Shares (other than the Excluded Shares) shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and (A) each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) and (B) each book-entry account formerly representing any uncertificated Shares (“Uncertificated Shares”) (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration and, in each case, the right, if any, to receive pursuant to Section 4.2(e) cash in lieu of fractional shares into which such Shares have been converted pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) and any distribution or dividend pursuant to Section 4.2(c), and each Certificate and Uncertificated Share formerly representing Shares owned by Dissenting Stockholders shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the payment of which reference is made in Section 4.3.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Exchange Ratio” means the following (in each case rounded to three decimal places):

if the Average Parent Stock Price is an amount greater than $41.349, then the Exchange Ratio shall be 1.300;

II.

if the Average Parent Stock Price is an amount greater than or equal to $37.411 but less than or equal to $41.349 then the Exchange Ratio shall be an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $53.75 by (y) the Average Parent Stock Price; or

III.

if the Average Parent Stock Price is an amount less than $37.411, then the Exchange Ratio shall be 1.437.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Average Parent Stock Price” means the average of the volume weighted averages of the trading prices of Parent Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (as reported by Bloomberg L.P. or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source mutually selected by the parties) on each of the 15 consecutive Trading Days ending on (and including) the Trading Day that is three Trading Days prior to the date of the First Effective Time.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Trading Day” means a day on which shares of Parent Common Stock are traded on the NYSE.

-5-

(ii) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Subject to Section 4.3, each Excluded Share shall, by virtue of the Initial Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Subs or the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(iii) Corporate Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Corporate Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Initial Surviving Company.

(b) Subsequent Merger. At the Second Effective Time, each Initial Surviving Company share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be paid or payable in respect thereof and each limited liability company interest of Merger LLC shall be unaffected by the Subsequent Merger and shall remain outstanding as a limited liability company interest of the Final Surviving Entity.

4.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. At the First Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with an exchange agent selected by Parent with the Company’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Shares, (i) an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in uncertificated form or book-entry form and (ii) an aggregate amount of cash, in each case, comprising approximately the amounts required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(a) in respect of Shares. In addition, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time after the First Effective Time, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 4.2(c) with respect to the Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to the Initial Merger with respect to Shares with a record and payment date after the First Effective Time and prior to the surrender of such Shares and cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 4.2(e). All shares of Parent Common Stock and cash, together with the amount of any dividends and distributions deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 4.2(a), shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund”. The Exchange Agent shall invest the cash portion of the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided that such investments shall be in obligations, funds or accounts typical for (including having liquidity typical for) transactions of this nature. To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt cash payment of the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration as contemplated hereby, Parent shall promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund lost through such investments or other events so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make such cash payments. 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 this Section 4.2(a) shall be promptly returned to Parent.

-6-

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the First Effective Time (and in any event within four business days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Certificates (other than Excluded Shares) a letter of transmittal in customary form advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the conversion of its Shares into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and 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 of the Certificates as provided in Section 4.2(g)) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 4.2(g)). Upon the surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(g)) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of such transmittal materials, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article IV in uncertificated form (or evidence of shares in book-entry form), and (ii) an amount in immediately available funds (or, if no wire transfer instructions are provided, a check, and in each case, after giving effect to any required Tax withholding provided in Section 4.2(h)) equal to (A) the cash amount that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4.1(a) plus (B) any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 4.2(e) plus (C) any unpaid non-stock dividends and any other dividends or other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 4.2(c), 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, the proper number of shares of Parent Common Stock in uncertificated form, together with a check for any cash to be paid upon due surrender of the Certificate and any other dividends or distributions in respect thereof, may be issued and/or paid to such a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable. If any shares (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) of Parent Common Stock are to be issued to a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the Person requesting such exchange shall pay any stock transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) of Parent Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of Parent or the Exchange Agent that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. 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.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares; Voting. (i) All shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Initial Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the First Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Parent in respect of the Parent Common Stock, the record date for which is after the First Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in the Initial Merger. No dividends or other

-7-

distributions in respect of the Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to the Initial Merger shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(g)) is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article IV. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(g)), there shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest thereon, (A) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and not paid and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the First Effective Time, but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

(ii) Registered holders of unsurrendered Certificates shall be entitled to vote after the First Effective Time at any meeting of Parent stockholders with a record date at or after the First Effective Time the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock represented by such Certificates, regardless of whether such holders have exchanged their Certificates.

(d) Transfers. From and after the First 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 First Effective Time.

(e) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued and any holder of Shares, Company Director Restricted Stock Units and Company Performance Stock Units entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock but for this Section 4.2(e) shall be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu thereof, which payment shall be calculated by the Exchange Agent and shall represent such holder’s proportionate interest in a share of Parent Common Stock based on the Average Parent Stock Price.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund and any Parent Common Stock) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for 180 days after the First Effective Time shall be delivered, at Parent’s option, to Parent. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to Parent for delivery of any shares of Parent Common Stock and payment of cash and any dividends and other distributions in respect of the Parent Common Stock to be issued or paid pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.2(h)) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 4.2(g)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Initial Surviving Company, Merger LLC, Parent, the Exchange 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. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, immediately prior to the date any Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, such Merger Consideration shall become the property of the Final Surviving Entity, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

-8-

(g) 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 required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, the Exchange Agent or the Final Surviving Entity with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of Parent Common Stock and the cash and any dividends and other distributions in respect of the Parent Common Stock that would have been issuable or payable pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.2(h)) had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

(h) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent and the Merger Subs shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares 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 Merger Subs or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Parent or the Merger Subs, 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 in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Merger Subs or Parent, as the case may be.

(i) Uncertificated Shares. Promptly after the First Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to (i) mail to each holder of Uncertificated Shares (other than Excluded Shares) materials advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Initial Merger and the conversion of its Shares into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and (ii) issue in registered form to each holder of Uncertificated Shares that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder is entitled to receive in respect of each such Uncertificated Share pursuant to this Article IV, cash that such holder is entitled to receive in respect of its Shares pursuant to Section 4.1(a), cash pursuant to Section 4.2(e) in lieu of fractional shares in respect of each such Uncertificated Share and any dividends and other distributions in respect of the Parent Common Stock to be issued or paid pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.2(h)), without interest thereon.

4.3 Dissenters’ Rights. No Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive shares of Parent Common Stock or cash or any dividends or other distributions pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV unless and until the holder thereof shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to dissent from the Initial Merger under the DGCL, and any 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. If any Person who otherwise would be deemed a Dissenting Stockholder shall have

-9-

failed to properly perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent under Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that the Dissenting Stockholder is not entitled to relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to any Shares, such Shares shall thereupon be treated as though such Shares had been converted, as of the First Effective Time, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration without interest and less any required Tax withholding. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt written notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

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 any such Shares, or Parent changes the number of shares of Parent Common Stock, in each case issued and outstanding prior to the First Effective Time as a result of a distribution, reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, subdivision, or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to eliminate the effects of such event on the Merger Consideration.

4.5 Company Stock Based Plans. (a) At the First Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Shares (a “Company Option”) under the Company Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested, shall be converted into an option to acquire a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of Shares subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time and (ii) the Option Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the result obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per Share of such Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time by (B) the Option Exchange Ratio; provided that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Company Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The “Option Exchange Ratio” shall mean a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the sum of the Cash Consideration and an amount equal to the product of (I) the Exchange Ratio and (II) the Average Parent Stock Price and (y) the denominator of which is the Average Parent Stock Price. Except as specifically provided above, following the First Effective Time, each Company Option shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions applicable to such Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time, including all vesting conditions that are applicable following a “Change in Control” as defined in the award agreement applicable to the Company Option; provided that each Company Option granted to a non-employee director of the Company shall vest and become exercisable at the First Effective Time.

(b) At the First Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock unit that was granted to a non-employee director of the Company (a “Company Director Restricted Stock

-10-

Unit”) under the Company Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled and shall only entitle the holder of such Company Director Restricted Stock Unit to receive (without interest), as soon as reasonably practicable after the First Effective Time (but in any event no later than three (3) business days after the Effective Time), (i) the Merger Consideration for each Share subject to such Company Director Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the First Effective Time and (ii) a cash payment equal to the amount of any unpaid “Retained Distributions” as defined in the award agreement applicable to the Company Director Restricted Stock Unit.

(c) At the First Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock unit other than a Company Director Restricted Stock Unit (a “Company Employee Restricted Stock Unit,” and together with the Company Director Restricted Stock Units, the “Company Restricted Stock Units”) under the Company Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested, other than any restricted stock units that were granted pursuant to a “Performance Stock Units Agreement” (the “Company Performance Stock Units”), shall be converted into (i) the right to receive a cash payment equal to (A) (1) the Cash Consideration multiplied by (2) the number of Shares underlying such Company Employee Restricted Stock Unit, which shall be treated as a “Retained Distribution” for purposes of the award agreement applicable to such Company Employee Restricted Stock Unit, plus (B) the amount of any accrued “Retained Distributions” that remain unpaid as of the Effective Time, and (ii) a restricted stock unit on the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (a “Parent Stock Unit”) equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of Shares underlying such Company Employee Restricted Stock Unit; provided that, any fractional Parent Stock Unit shall be converted into a cash payment in lieu thereof based on the Average Parent Stock Price, and such payment shall be a “Retained Distribution”. Except as specifically provided above, following the First Effective Time, each Parent Stock Unit and the related “Retained Distributions” (including in respect of the Cash Consideration) shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Company Employee Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the First Effective Time, including all vesting conditions that are applicable following a “Change in Control” as defined in the award agreement applicable to the Company Employee Restricted Stock Unit and all dividend equivalent rights.

(d) At the First Effective Time, each outstanding Company Performance Stock Unit under the Company Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled and shall only entitle the holder of such Company Performance Stock Unit to receive (without interest), as soon as reasonably practicable after the First Effective Time (but in any event no later than three (3) business days after the First Effective Time), (i) the Merger Consideration for each Share subject to such Company Performance Stock Unit immediately prior to the First Effective Time as determined in accordance with the immediately following sentence, and (ii) a cash payment equal to the amount of any unpaid and related “Retained Distributions” as defined in the award agreement applicable to the Company Performance Stock Unit, in each case less applicable tax withholdings. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the number of Shares subject to such Company Performance Stock Unit and related Retained Distributions shall be determined by the Compensation and Human Development Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”), subject to Parent review, prior to the First Effective Time in accordance with Section 6 of the applicable award agreement.

-11-

(e) At the First Effective Time, each notional Share (each, a “Notional Share”) subject to the Company’s Non-Employee Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan or the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors of the Company (together, the “Director Deferred Compensation Plans”) shall be deemed converted into an amount in cash equal to the numerator of the Option Exchange Ratio, and the resulting amount shall be deemed reinvested in the notional fund under the Director Deferred Compensation Plans that is deemed to credit interest at a specified rate. For the avoidance of doubt, a Notional Share shall not include any interest in the Company Stock Fund under the Company Savings Plan.

(f) With respect to each unit (each, a “Notional Unit”) subject to the Company Deferred Compensation Plan (together with the Director Deferred Compensation Plans, the “Deferred Compensation Plans”) that is deemed to have a value based on an interest in the Company Stock Fund under the Company Savings Plan (each, a “Stock Fund Interest”), at the First Effective Time, such Notional Unit shall be deemed converted into an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of a Stock Fund Interest, which fair market value shall be determined (i) taking into account any cash held or deemed held by the Company Stock Fund as of the Closing Date that is unrelated to the Cash Consideration and (ii) based on the assumption that any Merger Consideration held or deemed held by the Company Stock Fund as of the Closing Date has a value equal to the numerator of the Option Exchange Ratio.

(g) As soon as practicable after the First Effective Time, Parent shall, if registration of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable under a Company Stock Plan or other Company Plan is required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-3 or Form S-8, as the case may be (or any successor form), or another appropriate form with respect to such Parent Common Stock and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable following such filing.

(h) At or prior to the First Effective Time, the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company and the Compensation Committee, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 4.5. Parent shall take all actions as are reasonably necessary for the assumption of the Company Options and Company Employee Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 4.5(a) and Section 4.5(c). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall take all necessary action to ensure that the Initial Surviving Company will not be bound at the First Effective Time by any options, stock appreciation rights, units or other rights, awards or arrangements under the Company Stock Plans that would entitle any Person after the First Effective Time to beneficially own any Shares or to receive any payments in respect thereof, and all Company Stock Plans conferring any rights to Shares or other capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to be amended to be in conformity with this Section 4.5.

(iii) Each Company Plan other than any Company Non-U.S. Benefit Plan (collectively, the “Company U.S. Benefit Plans”), which is subject to ERISA (a “Company ERISA Plan”) that is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of

-21-

ERISA (a “Company Pension Plan”) intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS and, to the Knowledge of the Company, circumstances do not exist that are likely to result in the loss of the qualification of such plan under Section 401(a) of the Code.

Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction with respect to any Company ERISA Plan that, assuming the Taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date of this Agreement, could subject the Company or any Subsidiary to a Tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred or reasonably expects to incur a material Tax or penalty imposed by Section 4980F of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA or any material liability under Section 4071 of ERISA.

-22-

(vii) All contributions required to be made by the Company or its Subsidiaries under each Company Plan and each Company Multiemployer Plan, as of the date of this Agreement, have been timely made and all obligations in respect of each Company Plan and Company Multiemployer Plan have been properly accrued and reflected in the most recent consolidated balance sheet filed or incorporated by reference in the Company Reports prior to the date of this Agreement, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(viii) Neither any Company Pension Plan nor any single-employer plan of a Company ERISA Affiliate has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA and no Company ERISA Affiliate has an outstanding funding waiver. Neither any Company Pension Plan nor any single-employer plan of a Company ERISA Affiliate has been required to file information pursuant to Section 4010 of ERISA for the current or most recently completed plan year. It is not reasonably anticipated that required minimum contributions to any Company Pension Plan under Section 412 of the Code will be materially increased by application of Section 412(l) of the Code. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has provided, or is required to provide, security to any Company Pension Plan or to any single-employer plan of a Company ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code. With respect to any Company Pension Plan subject to the minimum funding requirements of Section 412 of the Code or Title IV of ERISA, (1) no such plan is, or is expected to be, in “at-risk” status (within the meaning of Section 303(i)(4)(A) of ERISA or Section 430(i)(4)(A) of the Code), (2) no unsatisfied liability (other than for premiums to the PBGC) under Title IV of ERISA has been, or is expected to be, incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (3) the PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate any such Company Pension Plan.

(x) As of the date of this Agreement, there is no pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened litigation relating to the Company Plans, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(xi) Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries have any obligations for material retiree health or life benefits under any of the Company ERISA Plans or any collective bargaining agreement, except as required by Section 4980B of the Code or Section 601 of ERISA.

(xii) Neither the execution of this Agreement, stockholder adoption of this Agreement, receipt of approval or clearance from any one or more Governmental Entities of the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor the consummation of the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby will, (A) cause any employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to become eligible for any increase in severance pay (including any increase from zero) upon any termination of employment after the date of this Agreement, (B) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or result in any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of material compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or result in any other material obligation pursuant to, any of the Company Plans or (C) limit or restrict the right of the Company or, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Parent to merge, amend or terminate any of the Company Plans.

(n) Tax Treatment. As of the date of this Agreement:

(i) Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken or agreed to take any action, or is aware of any facts or circumstances, in each case, that would prevent or impede, or would reasonably be likely to prevent or impede, the Mergers from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.

(iii) Parent is making the representations and warranties in this Section 5.2(n) after consultation with its tax counsel and with full knowledge of the terms of this Agreement.

(o) No Other Representations and Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Subs contained in this Section 5.2, Parent and Merger Subs

(e) (i) The Company shall, prior to the First Effective Time, execute and deliver to Cravath a certificate executed by an officer of the Company, dated as of the Closing Date, with such customary representations and warranties as Cravath determines are necessary for it to be able to deliver the Cravath Opinion (only to the extent the Company in good faith believes it is able to make such representations and warranties truthfully) (the “Company Certificate”).

(ii) Parent shall, prior to the First Effective Time, execute and deliver to Cravath a certificate executed by an officer of Parent, dated as of the Closing Date, with such customary representations and warranties as Cravath determines are necessary for it to be able to deliver the Cravath Opinion (only to the extent Parent in good faith believes it is able to make such representations and warranties truthfully) (the “Parent Certificate”).

6.2 Acquisition Proposals.

(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 its or its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors and employees shall, and it shall instruct and use reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors, agents and representatives (a Person’s directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors, agents and representatives are hereinafter referred to as its “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly:

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

(ii) engage or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations relating to any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; or

(iii) provide any information or data to any Person in connection with any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; or

(iv) otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make an Acquisition Proposal.

The Company shall, and the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions and negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. The Company will promptly inform the Persons referred to in the preceding sentence of the obligations undertaken in this Section 6.2. The Company will promptly request from each Person that has executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of making an Acquisition Proposal to return or destroy (as provided in the terms of such confidentiality agreement) all confidential information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and promptly terminate all physical and electronic data access previously granted to such Person.

(b) Fiduciary Exception to No Solicitation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2(a), prior to the time, but not after, the Company Requisite

-52-

Vote is obtained, the Company may, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement, (i) contact the Person who made such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives solely to clarify the terms and conditions thereof, and (ii) provide access to information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in response to a request therefor to the Person who made such Acquisition Proposal and such Person’s Representatives; provided that such information has previously been, or is substantially concurrently, made available to Parent and that, prior to furnishing any such non-public information, the Company receives from the Person making such Acquisition Proposal an executed confidentiality agreement with terms at least as restrictive in all material respects on such Person as the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 9.7) (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not contain a “standstill” or similar obligations to the extent that Parent is, concurrently with the entry by the Company or its Subsidiaries into such confidentiality agreement, released from any “standstill” or other similar obligations in the Confidentiality Agreement); provided, however, that if the Person making such Acquisition Proposal is a competitor of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Company shall not provide any information that in the good faith determination of the Company constitutes commercially sensitive non-public information to such Person in connection with any actions permitted by this Section 6.2(b) other than in accordance with “clean room” or other similar procedures designed to limit any potential adverse effect on the Company from sharing such information; and (iii) participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person and its Representatives regarding such Acquisition Proposal, if, and only if, prior to taking any action described in clause (ii) or (iii) above, the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that (A) failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (B) based on the information then available and after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal.

(c) Notice. The Company shall promptly notify Parent if (i) any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, (ii) any non-public information is requested in connection with any Acquisition Proposal from, or (iii) any discussions or negotiations with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are sought to be initiated or continued with, it, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and thereafter shall keep Parent informed, on a reasonably current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in the Company’s intentions as previously notified.

(d) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

“Acquisition Proposal” means (i) any proposal or offer from any Person or group of Persons, other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, with respect to a merger, joint venture, partnership, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization,

-53-

spin-off, extraordinary dividend, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which is structured to permit such Person or group of Persons (or their shareholders) to, directly or indirectly, acquire beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company’s consolidated total assets or any class of the Company’s equity interests and (ii) any acquisition by any Person or group of Persons (or their shareholders) (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) resulting in, or proposal or offer, which if consummated would result in, any Person or group of Persons (or their shareholders) (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) obtaining control (through Contract or otherwise) over or becoming the beneficial owner of, directly or indirectly, in one or a series of related transactions, 15% or more of the total voting power 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, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

“Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that would result in a Person or group (or their shareholders) becoming, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of, all or substantially all of the Company’s consolidated total assets or more than 50% of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Company or the successor Person of the Company, that the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in its good faith judgment 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 or group of Persons 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 transaction contemplated by this Agreement (after taking into account any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(f) of this Agreement and the time likely to be required to consummate such Acquisition Proposal).

(e) No Change in Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Except as permitted by Section 6.2(f), 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 if any Acquisition Proposal structured as a tender or exchange offer is commenced, the Board of Directors of the Company failing to recommend against acceptance of such tender or exchange offer by the Company’s stockholders within 10 business days of commencement thereof pursuant to Rule 14d-2 of the Exchange Act shall be considered a modification adverse to Parent); (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly declare advisable or publicly propose to enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, lease agreement or other agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.2(b) entered into in compliance with Section 6.2(b)) relating to any Acquisition Proposal (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”); or (iii) cause or permit the Company to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

-54-

(f) Fiduciary Exception to Change in Recommendation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the time, but not after, the Company Requisite Vote is obtained, (i) the Board of Directors of the Company may withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify the Company Recommendation or approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable any Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that did not result from or in connection with a material breach of this Agreement, if (A) (I) in the case of such an action taken in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Acquisition Proposal is not withdrawn and the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; or (II) in the case of such an action taken other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, a development or change in circumstances occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement that was not known by nor was reasonably foreseeable to the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date of this Agreement and (B) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (a “Change in Recommendation”, it being understood that a customary “stop, look and listen” disclosure in compliance with Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Change in Recommendation), and/or (ii) the Company may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.3(b) and concurrently with such termination cause the Company to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement providing for a Superior Proposal that did not result from or in connection with a material breach of this Agreement (a “Superior Proposal Termination”); provided that in no event shall the Company take, or agree or resolve to take, any action under this Section 6.2(f) other than in compliance with this Section 6.2; provided further that no Change in Recommendation and/or Superior Proposal Termination may be made until after at least five business days following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising that the Company’s Board of Directors intends to take such action and the basis therefor (which notice shall include a copy of any such Superior Proposal and a copy of any relevant proposed transaction agreements, the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal and the material terms thereof or, in the case of notice given other than in connection with a Superior Proposal, a reasonably detailed description of the development or change in connection with which the Company’s Board of Directors has given such notice). After providing such notice and prior to effecting such Change in Recommendation and/or Superior Proposal Termination, (x) the Company shall, during such five business day period, negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives, to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, with respect to any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent, and (y) in determining whether it may still under the terms of this Agreement make a Change in Recommendation and/or effect a Superior Proposal Termination, the Board of Directors of the Company shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent and any other information provided by Parent in response to such notice during such five business day period. Any amendment to the financial terms or conditions or other material terms of any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 6.2(f), including with respect to the notice period referred to in this Section 6.2(f), except that the five business day period shall be three business days for such purposes in any such case.

-55-

(g) Limits on Release of Standstill and Confidentiality. From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the Company shall not terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any “standstill” or similar obligation to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of any such agreement, including by seeking injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be permitted to fail to enforce any provision of any “standstill” or similar obligation of any Person if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action is necessary in order for the directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that the Company promptly advises Parent that it is taking such action and the identity of the party or parties with respect to which it is taking such action; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not restrict the Company from permitting a Person to orally request the waiver of a “standstill” or similar obligation to the extent necessary to comply with fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(h) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable U.S. federal or state Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided that this paragraph (h) shall not be deemed to permit the Company or the Company’s Board of Directors to effect a Change in Recommendation except in accordance with Section 6.2(f).

6.3 Information Supplied. (a) The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, and Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the SEC by Parent in connection with the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Initial Merger (including the proxy statement and prospectus (the “Prospectus/Proxy Statement”) constituting a part thereof, the “S-4 Registration Statement”) as promptly as practicable. Parent and the Company each shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the S-4 Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, and promptly thereafter the Company shall mail the Prospectus/Proxy Statement to the stockholders of the Company. The Company and Parent shall also use their respective reasonable best efforts to satisfy prior to the effective date of the S-4 Registration Statement all necessary state securities Law or “blue sky” notice requirements in connection with the Initial Merger and to consummate the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and pay all expenses incident thereto.

(b) No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the S-4 Registration Statement will be made by Parent, and no filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Prospectus/Proxy Statement will be made by the Company or Parent, in each case without providing the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (other than, in each case, any filing, amendment or supplement in connection with a Change in Recommendation). Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly provide the other with copies of all such filings, amendments or supplements to the extent not readily publicly available. Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish all information concerning such Person and its Affiliates to the other and provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested

-56-

by such other party to be included therein and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the other in the preparation of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the S-4 Registration Statement and the resolution of any comments to either received from the SEC. If at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Requisite Vote, any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to either the S-4 Registration Statement or the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, so that either such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. The parties shall notify each other promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement or the S-4 Registration Statement or for additional information and shall supply each other with copies of (i) all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the S-4 Registration Statement or the Mergers and (ii) all orders of the SEC relating to the S-4 Registration Statement. No response to any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC relating to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement or the S-4 Registration Statement will be made by the Company or Parent, in each case without providing the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon unless pursuant to a telephone call initiated by the SEC. The Company and Parent will cause the S-4 Registration Statement and the Prospectus/Proxy Statement to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

6.4 Stockholders Meeting. (a) The Company will use, in accordance with applicable Law and the Company Charter and Company Bylaws, its reasonable best efforts to convene and hold a meeting of holders of Shares to consider and vote upon the adoption of this Agreement (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) not more than 45 days after the date the S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, the Company’s Board of Directors shall include the Company Recommendation in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement and recommend at the Company Stockholders Meeting that the holders of Shares adopt this Agreement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and solicit such adoption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on a date preceding the date on which or the date on which the Company Stockholders Meeting is scheduled, the Company reasonably believes that (i) it will not receive proxies representing the Company Requisite Vote, whether or not a quorum is present, or (ii) it will not have enough Shares represented to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholders Meeting, the Company may postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Company Stockholders Meeting as long as the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of 15 calendar days in connection with any postponements or adjournments in reliance on the preceding sentence. In addition, notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 6.4(a), the Company may postpone or adjourn

-57-

the Company Stockholders Meeting to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that the Company has determined, after consultation with outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by stockholders of the Company prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting.

(b) Notwithstanding any Change in Recommendation, the Company shall nonetheless submit this Agreement to the holders of Shares for adoption at the Company Stockholders Meeting unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VIII prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement shall be the only matter (other than matters of procedure and matters required by Law to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders in connection with the adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholders Meeting.

6.5 Filings; Other Actions; Notification.

(a) Cooperation. (i) The Company and Parent shall, subject to Section 6.2, cooperate with each other and use, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use, their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement and applicable Laws and Orders to consummate and make effective the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable, including preparing and filing as promptly as reasonably practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings (including by filing as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement the notifications, filings and other information required to be filed under the HSR Act or any Foreign Competition Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby) and to obtain as promptly as reasonably practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits, expirations of waiting periods and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 6.5 (but subject to Section 6.5(b) below), each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity in connection with the HSR Act, any other applicable Antitrust Laws or any Communications Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and to avoid the entry of, or effect the dissolution of, any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including by defending any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the Mergers). Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, each of Parent and the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult the other on, all of the information relating to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by

-58-

this Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each party shall provide the other with copies of all material written correspondence between it (or its advisors) and any Governmental Entity relating to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, to the extent reasonably practicable, all telephone calls and meetings with a Governmental Entity regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall include representatives of Parent and the Company. Parent and the Company shall coordinate with respect to Antitrust Laws and Communications Laws and with respect to the appropriate course of action with respect to obtaining the consents, approvals, permits, waiting period expirations or authorizations of any Governmental Entity required to consummate the Mergers prior to the Termination Date. In furtherance of the foregoing and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (A) each party shall notify the other, as far in advance as practicable, of any filing or material or substantive communication or inquiry it or any of its Subsidiaries intends to make with any Governmental Entity relating to the matters that are the subject of this Section 6.5(a), (B) prior to submitting any such filing or making any such communication or inquiry, such party shall provide the other party and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review, and shall consider in good faith the comments of the other party in connection with, any such filing, communication or inquiry, (C) promptly following the submission of such filing or making such communication or inquiry, provide the other party with a copy of any such filing or, if in written form, communication or inquiry, and (D) consult with the other party in connection with any inquiry, hearing, investigation or litigation by, or negotiations with, any Governmental Entity relating to the Mergers, including the scheduling of, and strategic planning for, any meetings with any Governmental Entity relating thereto. In exercising the foregoing rights, the Company and Parent each shall act reasonably and as promptly as reasonably practicable. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will encourage CME to cooperate, as reasonably requested by Parent, to take the actions that the Company is required under this Section 6.5(a) to cause its Subsidiaries take. As used in this Agreement, the term “Antitrust Laws” means the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Act, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Act of 1914, the HSR Act and all other federal, state and foreign statutes, rules, regulations, orders, decrees and other Laws and Orders that are designed or intended to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or competition.

(b) For the purposes of this Section 6.5, “reasonable best efforts” shall include taking any and all actions necessary to obtain the consents, approvals, permits, waiting period expirations or authorizations of any Governmental Entity required to consummate the Mergers prior to the Termination Date (including agreeing to regulatory conditions that would have a serious and significant adverse impact on the current or future business or operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries, including the Company and its Subsidiaries) (the “Regulatory Actions”); provided that nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent or its Subsidiaries (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) to take or refrain from taking, or agree to take or refrain from taking, any action or actions that, individually or in the aggregate, would (i) be reasonably likely to have a Combined Entertainment ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Effect, (ii) result in a material increase in the aggregate capital expenditures of Parent and its Subsidiaries from the Closing Date through 2021 relative to the aggregate corresponding amounts in Parent’s consolidated 2017-2021 capital budget as provided to the Company prior to the date of this Agreement, or (iii) require Parent or its Subsidiaries to divest, dispose of or hold separate any businesses or assets of Parent or its

-59-

Subsidiaries (not including any businesses or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries) that are more than de minimis (the occurrence of any of the matters specified in clauses (i) through (iii), a “Regulatory Material Adverse Effect”). The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not agree to any such actions without the prior written consent of Parent which, subject to and without limiting Parent’s obligations under this Section 6.5, may be granted or withheld in Parent’s sole discretion. For purposes of this Section 6.5, “Combined Entertainment ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Effect” means a material adverse effect on the financial condition, properties, assets, business or results of operations of the Combined Entertainment Group, treating for this purpose the effects of all Regulatory Actions wherever imposed (whether on Parent, its Subsidiaries, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries), as if they affected a company the size of, and having the financial and operating metrics of, the Combined Entertainment Group. “Combined Entertainment Group” means the businesses included in Parent’s “Entertainment Group Segment Results” as of the date hereof, together with the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(c) Information. The Company and Parent each shall, upon request by the other, promptly furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the S-4 Registration Statement and any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Status. The Company and Parent each shall keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notice or other communications received by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than immaterial communications.

(e) Post-Signing. The Company shall provide Parent with all information requested by Parent that is reasonably necessary to identify any Governmental Consents required under any Foreign Regulatory Law applicable to the consummation of the Mergers or the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Initial Merger in jurisdictions not included on Section 6.5(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter (“Additional Consents”). The parties shall use reasonable best efforts to identify any Additional Consents within 30 days following the delivery by the Company of such requested information to Parent. To the extent the parties identify any Additional Consents, such Additional Consents shall be added to Section 7.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter if the parties would have included them in Section 7.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter as of the date hereof, applying for this purpose the same standards of legal and business significance as were used by the parties in agreeing Section 7.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter as of the date hereof. In the event the parties disagree about whether the Additional Consents would have been included, they shall first have their General Counsels meet to attempt to resolve any differences. In the event the parties are unable to agree whether any amendment to Section 7.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter is required by this Section 6.5(e), such dispute shall be settled by arbitration to be held in New York, New

-60-

York in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Such arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator with at least 10 years’ experience in complex mergers and acquisitions transactions mutually agreed upon by each party. Any decision rendered thereby shall be final and binding on each of the parties and judgment may be entered thereon in the appropriate state or federal court. The arbitrators shall be bound to strict interpretation and observation of the terms of this Agreement. Each party shall pay its own costs of arbitration.

6.6 Access; Consultation. (a) Upon reasonable notice, and except as may otherwise be required by applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford Parent’s Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the First Effective Time, to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ employees, properties, assets, books, records and contracts and, during such period, the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, (i) in the case of Parent, furnish promptly to the Company information regarding the matters set forth in Section 6.6(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter as may be reasonably requested by the Company and (ii) in the case of the Company, furnish promptly to Parent all information concerning its or any of its Subsidiaries’ capital stock, business and personnel as may reasonably be requested by Parent; provided that no investigation pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company or Parent; and provided, further, that the foregoing shall require neither the Company nor Parent to permit any invasive environmental sampling or any inspection or to disclose any information pursuant to this Section 6.6 to the extent that (i) in the reasonable good faith judgment of such party, any applicable Law requires such party or its Subsidiaries to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information, (ii) in the reasonable good faith judgment of such party, the information is subject to confidentiality obligations to a third party or (iii) disclosure of any such information or document would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege; provided, further, that with respect to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 6.6(a), Parent or the Company, as applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (1) obtain the required consent of any such third party to provide such inspection or disclosure, (2) develop an alternative to providing such information so as to address such matters that is reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company and (3) in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to permit the disclosure of such information in a manner to remove the basis for the objection, including by arrangement of appropriate clean room procedures, redaction or entry into a customary joint defense agreement with respect to any information to be so provided, if the parties determine that doing so would reasonably permit the disclosure of such information without violating applicable Law or jeopardizing such privilege. Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, (i) neither the Company nor Parent shall disclose any information to the other where doing so would violate the Anti-Collusion Rules, (ii) the Company shall not disclose to Parent any information about its WPCH-TV television broadcasting business, and (iii) neither the Company nor Parent shall disclose to the other any information about its participation in FCC Auction 1000, unless, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), outside counsel to both the Company and Parent agree that such information may be exchanged consistent with the Anti-Collusion Rules. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the other party. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be directed to an executive officer of the Company or Parent, as applicable, or such Person as may be designated by any such executive officer.

-61-

(b) Each of Parent and the Company, as it deems advisable and necessary, may reasonably designate competitively sensitive material provided to the other as “Outside Counsel Only Material” or with similar restrictions. Such material and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient, or otherwise as the restriction indicates, and be subject to any additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement between the parties. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. To the extent that any of the information or material furnished pursuant to this Section 6.6 or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement may include material subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, the parties understand and agree that they have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is their desire, intention and mutual understanding that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. All such information that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall reasonably cooperate in identifying any actions or practices of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that could require remediation under applicable Law and, to the extent identified, shall cooperate in taking commercially reasonable actions or practices and other customary actions to reduce the risks related to such actions where the failure to remediate would reasonably be likely to result in substantial fines or penalties.

(c) (i) Each of the Company and Parent shall give prompt notice to one another of any change, effect, circumstance or development that would reasonably be likely to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect (as applicable), or of any reasonably likely failure of any condition to Parent’s or the Company’s obligations to effect the Mergers (as applicable) and (ii) the Company shall give reasonably prompt notice to Parent upon the receipt of any notice alleging a material breach or default under any Material Contract or Additional Contract; provided that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing shall not in and of itself be deemed to constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.2(b) or Section 7.3(b) to be satisfied.

(d) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver to Parent, within 60 days after the date of this Agreement, a complete list of the material registered U.S. Intellectual Property of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

6.7 Stock Exchange Listing, De-listing and De-registration. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Initial Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the First Effective Time. The Company shall take all actions necessary to permit the Shares and any

-62-

other security issued by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and listed on the NYSE to be de-listed from the NYSE and de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as possible following the Effective Time.

6.8 Publicity. The initial press release with respect to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint press release and thereafter the Company and Parent shall consult with each other prior to issuing or making, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment on, any press releases or other public announcements with respect to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any filings with any third party and/or any Governmental Entity (including any national securities exchange) with respect thereto, except (i) as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or the NYSE, (ii) any consultation that would not be reasonably practicable as a result of requirements of applicable Law, (iii) any press release or public statement that in the good faith judgment of the applicable party is consistent with prior press releases issued or public statements made in compliance with this Section 6.8 or (iv) with respect to any Change in Recommendation made in accordance with this Agreement or Parent’s response thereto.

6.9 Employee Benefits.

(a) Parent agrees that each Company Employee who continues to remain employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries (a “Continuing Employee”) shall, during the period commencing at the First Effective Time and ending on December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the First Effective Time occurs (the “Continuation Period”), be provided with (i) a base salary or base wage that is no less favorable than the base salary or base wage provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the First Effective Time and (ii) target annual cash bonus opportunities and target long-term incentive compensation opportunities (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be delivered to Continuing Employees who reside or work outside of the United States in the form of unrestricted or deferred cash or phantom or notional equity-based incentive programs) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the target annual cash bonus opportunities and target long-term incentive compensation opportunities provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the First Effective Time. Parent agrees that Continuing Employees shall, during the Continuation Period, be provided with pension and welfare benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to such Continuing Employees as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time. Additionally, Parent agrees that each Continuing Employee shall, during the period commencing at the First Effective Time and ending on the second anniversary of the First Effective Time, be provided with severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the First Effective Time (or such greater benefits that are required after giving effect to the acknowledgment in Section 6.9(f)).

(b) Parent shall or shall cause the Initial Surviving Company to provide that no pre-existing conditions, exclusions or waiting periods shall apply to Company Employees

-63-

under the benefit plans provided for those employees except to the extent such condition or exclusion was applicable to an individual Company Employee prior to the Effective Time. With respect to the plan year during which the First Effective Time occurs, Parent shall provide each Company Employee with credit for deductibles and out-of-pocket requirements paid prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any Parent plan in which such Company Employee is eligible to participate following the Closing Date.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, Parent shall or shall cause the Initial Surviving Company to, provide credit (without duplication) to Company Employees for their service recognized by the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the First Effective Time for purposes of eligibility, vesting, continuous service, determination of service awards, vacation, paid time off, and severance entitlements to the same extent and for the same purposes as such service was credited under the Company Plans, provided that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service for purposes of any frozen or discontinued Parent plan or any frozen or discontinued portion of a Parent plan or for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical plan, and provided further, that if “hire date” is used to determine the particular Parent plan or benefit structure in which a Company Employee would participate, if any, then “hire date,” solely for such purposes, shall be the Closing Date.

(d) Prior to the First Effective Time, if requested by Parent in writing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the applicable plan or arrangement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of the Company’s 401(k) plans, other than the Company Savings Plan (the “Company 401(k) Plans”), to be terminated effective immediately prior to the First Effective Time, and Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, provide the Continuing Employees who participated in such terminated Company 401(k) Plans eligibility to participate in a 401(k) plan of Parent or one of its Subsidiaries. In the event that Parent requests that the Company 401(k) Plans be terminated, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that it used commercially reasonable efforts to terminate such Plans (the form and substance of which shall be subject to review by Parent) not later than the business day immediately preceding the First Effective Time.

(e) Annual bonuses for the year in which the Closing occurs shall be treated in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 6.9(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(f) Parent hereby acknowledges that the consummation of the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby will constitute a “change in control” or “change of control” (or other similar phrase) for purposes of any Company Plan that contains a definition of “change in control” or “change of control” (or similar phrase), as applicable, other than those Company Plans set forth on Section 6.9(f) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(g) Prior to making any written or material oral communications to the directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pertaining to the treatment of compensation or benefits in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication, and Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication.

-64-

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Company Employee who is, or becomes, subject to a CBA, all compensation and benefits treatment and terms and conditions of employment afforded to such Company Employee shall be provided in accordance with such collective bargaining agreement or other agreement with a labor union or like organization and the terms of this Section 6.9 shall not apply.

(i) From and after the First Effective Time, Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Final Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries) shall honor all Company Plans in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement shall limit the ability of Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries) to provide compensation and benefits to Continuing Employees in accordance with this Agreement through plans of Parent or its Subsidiaries after the First Effective Time.

(j) The provisions of this Section 6.9 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and neither any union nor any current or former employee, nor any other individual associated therewith, is or shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 9.8), no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or does, (i) constitute the establishment of, or an amendment to, any Company Plan or any employee benefit plan of Parent, the Final Surviving Entity or any of their Affiliates, (ii) alter or limit the ability of Parent to amend, modify or terminate any Company Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (iii) give any third party any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.9, (iv) prevent Parent, the Final Surviving Entity or any of their Affiliates, after the First Effective Time, from terminating the employment of any Company Employee or (v) be deemed to confer upon any such individual or legal representative any rights under or with respect to any plan, program or arrangement described in or contemplated by this Agreement, and each such individual or legal representative shall be entitled to look only to the express terms of any such plan, program or arrangement for his or her rights thereunder.

6.10 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.15 and 8.5, whether or not the Mergers are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expense, except that expenses incurred in connection with the filing fee for the S-4 Registration Statement and printing and mailing the Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the S-4 Registration Statement shall be shared equally by Parent and the Company.

6.11 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. (a) From and after the First Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Initial Surviving Company to, indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company determined as of the First Effective Time (the “Indemnified Parties”), against any costs or

-65-

expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the First Effective Time (including this Agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated hereby)), arising out of the fact that such Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Person prior to the First Effective Time, in each case, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the First Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted under Delaware Law, the Company Charter or Company Bylaws in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify such Person (and Parent and the Initial Surviving Company shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced shall provide an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification). Parent shall ensure that the organizational documents of the Initial Surviving Entity shall, for a period of six years from and after the First Effective Time, contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company and its Subsidiaries than are presently set forth in the Company Charter and Company Bylaws. Any right of indemnification of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified at any time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of such Indemnified Party as provided herein.

(b) Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall and, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Initial Surviving Company as of the First Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay for “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six years from and after the First Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the First Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company expend for such policies a premium amount in excess of 300% of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company for such insurance. If the Company and the Initial Surviving Company for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the First Effective Time, the Initial Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Initial Surviving Company to, continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six years from and after the First Effective Time the D&O Insurance in place as of the date of this Agreement with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement, or the Initial Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Initial Surviving Company to, purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company expend, or Parent or the Initial Surviving Company be required to expend for such policies, an amount in excess of 300% of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company for such insurance; and, provided further that if the premium for such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, the Initial Surviving Company shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

-66-

(c) If Parent or any of its successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then and in each such case proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent shall assume all of the obligations of Parent set forth in this Section 6.11. If the Subsequent Merger is consummated, from and after the Second Effective Time, all references in this Section 6.11 to the Initial Effective Time shall be deemed to refer to the Second Effective Time and all references to the Initial Surviving Company shall be deemed to refer to the Final Surviving Entity, mutatis mutandis.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.11 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives. The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 6.11 shall be in addition to any rights such individual may have under Delaware Law, any applicable indemnification agreement to which such Person is a party, the Company Charter or the Company Bylaws.

(e) None of Parent, the Initial Surviving Company or the Final Surviving Entity shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual Proceeding for which indemnification could be sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such settlement, compromise or consent.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.11 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

6.12 Takeover Statute. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and its Board of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise use reasonable best efforts to act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

6.13 Control of the Company’s or Parent’s Operations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or the Company, directly or indirectly, rights to control or direct the operations of the other prior to the First Effective Time. Prior to the First Effective Time, each of Parent and the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision of its operations.

-67-

6.14 Section 16(b). The Board of Directors of each of the Company and Parent (or, in each case, a duly authorized committee thereof) shall, prior to the First Effective Time, take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) or acquisitions of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.15 Financing.

(a) Upon the written request of Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver, or shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, at the Closing, one or more supplemental indentures, legal opinions, officers certificates or other documents or instruments required for the due assumption of, and succession to, the Company’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ outstanding debt, guarantees, securities and other similar agreements to the extent required by the terms of such debt, guarantees, securities or other agreements and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall provide all assistance reasonably required by Parent in connection with obtaining the execution of such instruments (or any consents, waivers or replacement guarantees or other instruments requested by Parent in relation to such assumption or succession in respect of any of the Company’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ outstanding debt, guarantees, securities and other similar agreements) by the other parties required to execute such instruments.

(b) The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to commence, as promptly as reasonably practicable, at Parent’s expense, after the receipt of a written request from Parent to do so, tender or exchange offers, and any related consent solicitations with respect to, any or all of the outstanding notes, debentures or other debt securities of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries on such terms and conditions as specified and reasonably requested by Parent and in compliance with all applicable terms and conditions of the applicable indenture (the “Debt Offers”); provided that (i) Parent shall have provided the Company with the offer to purchase, related letter of transmittal, and other related documents (collectively, the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) the closing of the Debt Offers shall be conditioned on the Closing. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use respective reasonable best efforts to, and to cause their respective representatives to, provide cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the Debt Offers and any related consent solicitations. Parent shall only request the Company and its Subsidiaries to conduct any Debt Offer in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and the applicable indenture or other Contract. Parent shall ensure that at the First Effective Time, the Initial Surviving Company and the Final Surviving Entity shall have all funds necessary to pay any consideration required to be paid in connection with the Debt Offers on the Closing Date.

-68-

(c) If requested by Parent in writing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall take any actions requested by Parent that are reasonably necessary for the payoff, satisfaction, discharge and/or defeasance of any existing Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and shall payoff, redeem or satisfy, discharge and/or defease, as applicable, such Indebtedness in accordance with the indenture, credit agreement, or other Contract governing such Indebtedness (the “Debt Payoffs”), including taking any action reasonably necessary to obtain a payoff letter in connection therewith; provided that any such action described above shall not be required unless it can be and is conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing, and, it being understood that at Closing, Parent or its designee (which may be the Company) shall deposit with the appropriate trustee, agent or other recipient, cash or cash equivalents sufficient to actually effect such payoff, redemption, satisfaction, discharge and/or defeasance. The Company shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to and to cause their respective representatives to, provide cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with any Debt Payoff.

(d) In the event that the Company commences a Debt Offer, the Company covenants and agrees that, promptly following any related consent solicitation expiration date, assuming the requisite consents are received, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries as is necessary shall (and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable trustee or agent to) execute a supplemental indenture or amendment to the applicable indenture or other Contract governing such Indebtedness, which shall implement the amendments described in the Offer Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the conditions to the Debt Offers) and the applicable indenture or other Contract; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors or other representatives, have any obligation to authorize, adopt or execute any supplemental indenture or other agreement that would become effective prior to the Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Debt Offer, concurrently with the Closing, Parent shall cause the Initial Surviving Company or the Final Surviving Entity, as applicable, to accept for payment and thereafter promptly pay for, any Indebtedness that has been validly tendered pursuant to and in accordance with the Debt Offers and not properly withdrawn using funds provided by Parent.

(e) Parent shall prepare all necessary and appropriate documentation in connection with any Debt Offers or Debt Payoffs, including the Offer Documents, as applicable, and the Company shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such documents. The parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with each other in the preparation of any Offer Documents or other appropriate documents. The Company shall, to the extent requested, keep Parent reasonably informed regarding the status, results and timing of the Debt Offers. If, at any time prior to the completion of the Debt Offers, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, discovers any information that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Offer Documents, so that the Offer Documents shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, such party that discovers such information shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the other party, and an appropriate

-69-

amendment or supplement prepared by Parent describing such information shall be disseminated by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries to the holders of the applicable Indebtedness of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.15(e), the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other Law to the extent applicable in connection with the Debt Offers or Debt Payoffs and such compliance will not be deemed a breach hereof.

(f) In connection with any Debt Offer and any Debt Payoff, Parent may select one or more dealer managers, information agents, depositaries and other agents, in each case as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to provide assistance in connection therewith and the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, enter into customary agreements with such parties so selected; provided that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless, or pay the fees or reimburse the costs and expenses of, any such party, which indemnification, fee and reimbursement obligations shall be borne by Parent pursuant to separate agreements with such parties to which neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be a party or have any obligations under.

(g) From and after the date of this Agreement, and through the earlier of the Closing and the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VIII, the Company shall, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their representatives (including their auditors) to, use its respective reasonable best efforts to provide all customary cooperation (including providing reasonably available financial and other information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries for use in marketing and offering documents and to enable Parent to prepare pro forma financial statements) as reasonably requested by Parent to assist Parent in the arrangement of any bank debt financing or any capital markets debt financing for the purposes of financing the payment of the Cash Consideration, any repayment or refinancing of debt contemplated by this Agreement or required in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Mergers (collectively, the “Debt Financing”); provided, however, that no obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under such Debt Financing shall be effective prior to the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will, and will encourage CME to, as reasonably requested by Parent, (i) cooperate with Parent to communicate with CME’s lenders with respect to the impact of the Mergers on, and use its reasonable best efforts in order to assist in ensuring that the Mergers do not result in a default or event of default on the part of CME, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries under the terms of, CME’s indebtedness to the extent guaranteed by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) cooperate with Parent in the arrangement of any Debt Financing or other third party or intercompany financing for the purposes of replacing CME’s indebtedness.

(h) Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred in connection with any and all of the matters contemplated by this Section 6.15 (other than arising from fraud or intentional misrepresentation

-70-

on the part of the Company or its Subsidiaries), whether or not the Mergers are consummated or this Agreement is terminated. Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with this Section 6.15, whether or not the Mergers are consummated or this Agreement is terminated.

(i) The Company agrees that, from and after January 1, 2017 and prior to the Effective Time, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall not file any registration statement (other than on Form S-8 and other than prospectus supplements to existing registration statements) or consummate any unregistered offering of securities that by the terms of such offering requires subsequent registration under the Securities Act; provided that, a reasonable amount of time prior to the offering of any securities (other than on Form S-8) expected to be issued in a registered transaction or which require registration, the Company will consult with Parent and consider in good faith the suggestions of Parent that are designed to permit such offering to be completed without registration under the Securities Act.

(j) Parent and Merger Subs acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 6.15 shall not create any independent conditions to Closing.

6.16 Approval by Sole Stockholder of Corporate Sub and sole Member of Merger LLC. Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, Parent, as sole stockholder of Corporate Sub, shall adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger, in accordance with Delaware Law, by written consent. Immediately following the formation of Merger LLC in accordance with Section 6.19, Parent, as sole member of Merger LLC, shall approve and adopt this Agreement and approve the Subsequent Merger, in accordance with Delaware Law, by written consent.

6.17 Dividends. The Company shall coordinate with Parent the declaration, setting of record dates and payment dates of dividends on Shares in respect of any calendar quarter so that holders of Shares do not receive dividends on both Shares and Parent Common Stock received in the Initial Merger in respect of the same calendar quarter or fail to receive a dividend on either Shares or Parent Common Stock received in the Initial Merger in respect of the same calendar quarter.

6.18 Voting of Shares. Parent shall vote, or cause to be voted, any Shares owned by it or any of its Subsidiaries (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any such shares held by any employee benefit plan of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any trustee or other fiduciary in such capacity under any employee benefit plan) in favor of adoption of this Agreement at the Company Stockholders Meeting.

6.19 Formation of Merger LLC; Accession. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, and in any event within five business days after the date hereof, Parent shall form and organize Merger LLC as a Delaware limited liability company, and from and after its formation and at the Effective Time, Parent will be the sole member of Merger LLC. Promptly after forming Merger LLC, (x) Parent, as the sole member of Merger LLC, shall approve this Agreement and (y) Parent shall cause Merger LLC to accede to this Agreement by

-71-

executing a signature page to this Agreement or a separate joinder instrument acceptable to all parties, after which time Merger LLC shall be a party hereto for all purposes set forth herein. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the obligations of Merger LLC to perform its respective covenants hereunder, and the first date on which the accuracy of Merger LLC’s representations hereunder and warranties shall speak, shall commence only at the time of its formation. From and after the date of its formation and prior to the Effective Time, Merger LLC shall not engage in any activities other than in connection with or as contemplated by this Agreement or have any assets, liabilities or obligations of any nature other than those incident to its formation and pursuant to this Agreement and the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.20 Alternative Structure.

(a) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any agreement, instrument or indenture with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party to be amended prior to the date that is not later than the fifth business day prior to the date the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective, if Parent reasonably determines that such amendment is necessary so that the Subsequent Merger will not have any of the effects described in Section 5.1(d)(ii) (mutatis mutandi) (without giving effect to (i) the Company Material Adverse Effect exception at the end of Section 5.1(d)(ii) and (ii) any cure period or notice requirement) with respect to such agreement, instrument or indenture (an “Indenture Impact”); provided that without Parent’s prior written consent the Company shall not make any non-de minimis consent payments to any third party in connection with the foregoing or agree to amend any of the terms of such agreement, instrument or indenture except to amend the provision giving rise to the Indenture Impact.

(b) In the event that either (i) the Mergers would reasonably be likely to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment or (ii) the Subsequent Merger would have an Indenture Impact, the parties agree (x) to cooperate in good faith to explore alternative structures that would permit the transactions contemplated hereby to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (y) if each party to this Agreement in the exercise of its reasonable business discretion agrees to pursue such an alternative structure, the parties shall enter into an appropriate amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternative structure and provide for such other changes necessitated thereby; provided, however, that failure of the parties to agree to an alternative structure shall not cause any condition to Closing set forth herein not to be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement; and provided, further, that any actions taken pursuant to this Section 6.20(b) (A) shall not (I) without the consent of the Company and Parent, alter or change the amount, nature or mix of the Merger Consideration or (II) impose any economic or other costs on Parent or the Company that are more than immaterial and (B) shall be capable of consummation without delay in relation to the structure contemplated herein. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Parent be required to cause the Subsequent Merger to occur or to effect any alternative structure if the foregoing would result in an Indenture Impact.

(c) In the event the Mergers would reasonably be likely to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, the parties may agree (in each party’s reasonable business discretion) not to consummate the Subsequent Merger. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the identification nor the implementation of an alternative structure under Section 6.20(b) above shall be a condition to Closing.

9.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, other than (a) as provided in Section 6.11 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance), (b) the right of the Company’s stockholders to receive the Merger Consideration after the Closing, (c) the right of the holders of awards under the Company Stock Plans to receive such consideration as provided for in Section 4.5 after the Closing and (d) Sections 8.5(g), 9.2 and 9.5 which, to the extent applicable to the Financing Sources, are intended to benefit, and be enforceable by, the Financing Sources.

9.9 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 Initial Surviving Company or the Final Surviving Company to cause such Subsidiary to take such action.

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 negotiated in good faith by the parties hereto 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, subject to clause (a) above, be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, except as a result of such substitution, 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. (a) The table of contents and the Article, Section and paragraph headings or captions 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 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”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “or” when used in this Agreement is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The

-83-

definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.

(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.

9.12 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by operation of law or otherwise; provided that Parent may designate, prior to the First Effective Time, by written notice to the Company, another Subsidiary all of the common equity of and voting interest in which are owned directly or indirectly by Parent to be a party to the Initial Merger in lieu of Corporate Sub, in which event all references herein to Corporate Sub shall be deemed references to such other Subsidiary (except with respect to representations and warranties made herein with respect to Corporate Sub as of the date of this Agreement) and all representations and warranties made herein with respect to Corporate Sub (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.2(b)(ii)) as of the date of this Agreement shall also be made with respect to such other Subsidiary as of the date of such designation; provided that such assignment shall not relieve Parent of its obligations hereunder or otherwise enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other party hereto or due to Parent or such other Subsidiary; provided further that (unless each party agrees in its reasonable business discretion that the Mergers would reasonably be expected to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment without regard to such assignment) such assignment shall not prevent or impede the Initial Merger, together with the Subsequent Merger, from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment. Any assignment in contravention of the preceding sentence shall be null and void.

9.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in accordance with Section 9.5 of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach or that the Company or Parent otherwise have an adequate remedy at law.
