AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of June 12, 2011 (this “Agreement”), among V.F. Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (“Parent”), VF Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and The Timberland Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has (i) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders of the Company, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub providing for the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, (ii) approved this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and (iii) resolved to recommend adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent and Merger Sub have each approved, and the Board of Directors of Merger Sub has declared it advisable for Merger Sub to enter into, this Agreement providing for the Merger in accordance with the DGCL, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, as an inducement and condition to Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, members of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family Group holding approximately 73.5% of the combined voting power of the Shares outstanding as of the date hereof are entering into a voting agreement with Parent simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), whereby, among other things, such persons have agreed to execute and deliver, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, an irrevocable written consent in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, which consent when executed and delivered will be sufficient to adopt this Agreement and to approve the Merger without any further action by any other stockholder of the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

THE MERGER

SECTION 1.1. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time (as defined below), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).

SECTION 1.2. Closing; Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of Article VII, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Ropes & ▇▇▇▇ LLP, Prudential Tower, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the third business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article

VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waiver of those conditions), or at such other place or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree; provided, however, that notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, if the date that would otherwise be the Closing Date (the “Condition Date”) would occur during the last 15 days of any fiscal quarter of Parent, except to the extent the provisions of this proviso are waived in writing by Parent, Parent shall not be required to effect the Closing until the first business day of Parent’s immediately succeeding fiscal quarter on which, subject to the immediately succeeding proviso, the conditions set forth in Article VII are satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waiver of those conditions); provided, further, that if the Closing is delayed due to the application of the preceding proviso, the parties agree that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) and Section 7.2(c) (as it relates to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a)) shall be deemed satisfied if the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) would have been satisfied as of the Condition Date in the absence of the preceding proviso, and Parent receives the certificate contemplated by Section 7.2(c) (as it relates to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a)) to the foregoing effect as of the Condition Date. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”. If Parent desires to delay the Closing due to the application of the first proviso of this Section 1.2, Parent shall deliver to the Company a written notice to that effect (stating its good faith determination of the Condition Date) on or prior to the date specified as the Condition Date in such notice; it being understood that following the delivery of such notice, Parent shall not thereafter be entitled to assert the failure of the Company to, prior to the date of such notice, comply with any covenant or agreement to be performed by the Company hereunder that was known to Parent prior to the delivery of such notice as the basis for the condition set forth in Sections 7.2(b) not being satisfied or as the basis for terminating the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e). At the Closing, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the date and time of the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or such later time as is specified in the Certificate of Merger and as is agreed to by the Company and Parent, being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”) and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL in connection with the Merger.

SECTION 1.3. Effects of the Merger. From and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 1.4. Certificate of Incorporation; By-Laws.

(a) At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except (i) for Article FIRST, which shall read “The name of the corporation is The Timberland Company” and (ii) that the provisions of the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub relating to the incorporator of Merger Sub shall be omitted, and as so amended shall be the amended and restated certificate of

incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with its terms and provided by applicable law.

(b) At the Effective Time, the by-laws of the Company shall be amended to read in their entirety as the by-laws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and as so amended shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with their terms, the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and as provided by applicable law.

SECTION 1.5. Directors and Officers. From and after the Effective Time (i) the directors of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and (ii) the officers of the Company at the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal.

ARTICLE II.

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK
OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS

SECTION 2.1. Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Except as set forth in Section 2.1(b), each share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock”) and Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.3(a)) shall be converted into the right to receive $43.00 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”) payable to the holder thereof, without interest, upon surrender of such Shares in the manner provided in Section 2.4, less any required withholding Taxes;

(b) (i) Each share of Class A Common Stock (collectively, “Class A Shares”) and each share of Class B Common Stock (collectively, “Class B Shares” and, together with the Class A Shares, the “Shares”) held in the treasury of the Company and each Share owned by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and retired without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto and (ii) each Share held by any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company or Parent (other than Merger Sub) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into such number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation such that each such subsidiary owns the same percentage of the outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time as such subsidiary owned in Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(c) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and

shall (except for any such shares resulting from the conversion of Shares pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 2.1(b)) constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 2.2. Company Stock Options; Company Restricted Stock; Company Restricted Units; Company ESPP.

(a) At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock granted under the Company Stock Plans (an “Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised as of the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled, with the holder of each such Option becoming entitled to receive an amount in cash (the “Option Consideration”) equal to the product of (A) the number of Shares previously subject to such Option and (B) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share previously subject to such Option, less any required withholding Taxes.

(b) At the Effective Time, each Share granted subject to vesting or other restrictions pursuant to any Company Stock Plan or pursuant to any Contract (collectively, “Restricted Shares”) which is then outstanding shall vest and become free of such restrictions and, at the Effective Time, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to each such Restricted Share, less any required withholding Taxes (including any withholding Taxes required in respect of the vesting of such Restricted Shares) (the “Restricted Share Consideration”).

(c) At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit and performance stock unit granted subject to vesting or other restrictions pursuant to any Company Stock Plan or pursuant to any Contract (collectively, “Restricted Units”) which is then outstanding shall vest and become free of such restrictions and, at the Effective Time, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash (the “Restricted Unit Consideration”) equal to the product of (A) the number of Shares previously subject to such restricted stock unit or performance stock unit and (B) the Merger Consideration, less any required withholding Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of applying the immediately preceding sentence to any Restricted Unit that is a performance stock unit, the number of Shares treated as previously subject to such Restricted Unit shall be equal to the number of Shares which the holder would have been eligible to receive had performance criteria applicable to such Restricted Unit been achieved at target levels (and which number of Shares is set forth, for the avoidance of doubt, on the Equity Awards Schedule under the “PUs Outstanding” column with respect to the applicable Restricted Unit).

(d) The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2 shall not apply to the Company’s 1991 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or any other plan, program or arrangement intending to qualify as a stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (the “Company ESPP”). With respect to the Company ESPP, the Company shall as soon as practicable take all actions necessary to provide that (i) participants may not increase their payroll deductions or purchase elections prospectively; (ii) no purchase period or offering period shall commence under the Company ESPP following the date of this Agreement; (iii) each participant’s outstanding right to purchase shares of Company Common Stock under the Company ESPP shall be suspended immediately following the end of the purchase or offering period in effect on the date of this Agreement or, if earlier, the end of the Business Day immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that each participant’s accumulated payroll deductions as of the Effective Time shall be used to purchase shares of Company Common Stock

immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP, and the shares of Company Common Stock purchased thereunder shall be canceled at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a); and (iv) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the purchase of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the preceding clause (iii), the funds, if any, that remain in a participant’s accounts after such purchase shall be returned to the participant. The Company shall cause the Company ESPP to terminate at the Effective Time, and no further purchase rights shall be granted or exercised under the Company ESPP thereafter.

(e) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt such resolutions or take such actions as it may deem necessary or appropriate to effect the treatment of Options, Restricted Shares and Restricted Units contemplated by Section 2.2(a), Section 2.2(b) and Section 2.2(c). The Company shall provide Parent with drafts of such resolutions prior to their execution.

SECTION 2.3. Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by holders of Shares who have not voted in favor of or consented to the Merger and who have properly demanded and perfected their rights to be paid the fair value of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and the holders thereof shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or shall effectively waive, withdraw or lose such holder’s rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted, at the Effective Time, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor, as set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement, without any interest thereon.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any appraisal demands received by the Company, withdrawals thereof and any other instruments served pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to the exercise of appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or as otherwise required by applicable law, make any payment with respect to any such exercise of appraisal rights, offer to settle or settle any such rights or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

SECTION 2.4. Surrender of Shares; Payment Procedures.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent for the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”) and to receive the Merger Consideration to which the stockholders of the Company shall become entitled pursuant to this Article II. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent sufficient funds to make all payments pursuant to Sections 2.4(c). Such funds may be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; provided that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Company Common Stock, and following any losses Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the stockholders of the Company in the amount of any such losses and such investments shall be in (A) obligations of the United States

of America or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, (B) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank which are then publicly available), (C) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively or (D) money market funds substantially all the assets of which are comprised of investments in the obligations described in clauses (A) through (C). Any interest or income produced by, or profit resulting from, such investments will be payable to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as Parent directs.

(b) Immediately after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be deposited with the Surviving Corporation sufficient funds to make all payments pursuant to Section 2.4(d).

(c) Promptly after the Effective Time, but in any event within five business days following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each record holder, as of the Effective Time, of (i) an outstanding certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Shares (the “Certificates”) or (ii) Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”), a form of letter of transmittal (which shall be in such form and have provisions reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, the surrender of such Shares for payment of the Merger Consideration therefor. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate or of Book-Entry Shares, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares and such Certificate or book-entry shall then be canceled. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer or be accompanied by all documents required to evidence transfer and that the person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or Book-Entry Share surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Any other transfer Taxes payable as a result of the consummation of the Merger will be paid by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.4(c), each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II. For the avoidance of doubt, no payment shall be made under this Section 2.4(c) in respect of any Share that was a Restricted Share vesting at or prior to the Effective Time as to which withholding Taxes have not been withheld; payment for any such Share shall instead be provided pursuant to Section 2.4(d).

(d) All payments with respect to canceled Options, Restricted Units and Restricted Shares, shall be made by the Surviving Corporation as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time from funds deposited by or at the direction of Parent pursuant to Section 2.4(b). No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of Options on the Option Consideration payable in respect of the Options, to holders of Restricted Units on the Restricted Unit Consideration payable in respect of the Restricted Units, or to the holders of Restricted Shares on the Restricted Share Consideration in respect of the Restricted Shares. For purposes of this Section 2.4(d) and Section 2.4(e), the term “Restricted Share” shall include any Share that was previously a Restricted Share and that vested at or prior to the Effective Time but as to which required withholding Taxes had not been withheld at or prior to the Effective Time.

(e) At any time following the date that is twelve months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) which have been made available to the Paying Agent and which have not been disbursed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and, after such funds have been delivered to the Surviving Corporation, such holders shall be entitled to look to Parent and the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. The holders of Options, Restricted Units and Restricted Shares shall be entitled to look to Parent and Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the Option Consideration payable with respect to their canceled Options, with respect to the Restricted Unit Consideration payable with respect to their cancelled Restricted Units, and with respect to the Restricted Share Consideration payable with respect to their cancelled Restricted Shares. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of Shares for the Merger Consideration and the payment of Option Consideration, Restricted Unit Consideration, and Restricted Share Consideration. Neither the Surviving Corporation, Parent nor the Paying Agent will be liable to any person entitled to payment under this Article II for any consideration which is properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(f) At the Effective Time the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares that were outstanding prior to the Effective Time. After the Effective Time, all Certificates or Book-Entry Shares presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer shall be canceled and exchanged for the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in, this Article II.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any former holder of Shares, Options or Restricted Units pursuant to this Agreement any amount as Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent determines may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax laws. To the extent that amounts are so properly withheld by the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares, Options or Restricted Units, as the case may be, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

(h) In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the holder’s compliance with the replacement requirements established by the Paying Agent, and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by the holder of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to the Certificate, the Paying Agent will deliver in exchange for the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate pursuant to this Article II.

SECTION 2.5. Adjustments.

ARTICLE III.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that, except as set forth on the Company Disclosure Schedule delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”) (it being understood that any information set forth in one section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to apply to each other section or subsection of this Agreement to the extent that it is reasonably apparent that such information is relevant to such other section or subsection) and except as disclosed in any Company SEC Report (as defined below) filed on or after December 31, 2010 and prior to the date of this Agreement (but subject to Section 9.13):

SECTION 3.1. Organization and Qualification; Subsidiaries. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where any such failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing or to have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). The Company and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification or licensing necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where any such failure to be so qualified or licensed or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. “Material Adverse Effect” means any change, effect, event, circumstance, occurrence or state of facts that is materially adverse to (a) the business, financial condition, results of operations, assets or liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or (b) the Company’s ability to consummate the Merger; provided, however, that, in the case of the immediately preceding clause (a), none of the following, or any changes, effects, events,

circumstances, occurrence or state of facts relating to or resulting therefrom, shall be deemed in themselves, either alone or in combination, to constitute, and none of them shall be taken into account in determining whether there has been or could or would be, a Material Adverse Effect: (i) economic, financial market, or geopolitical conditions in general, (ii) general changes or developments in the industries in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate, (iii) the announcement of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (iv) changes in Tax laws or regulations or applicable accounting regulations or principles or interpretations thereof, (v) changes in the market price or trading volume of the Company Common Stock (but the reasons or causes of such changes may constitute a Material Adverse Effect and may be taken into account in determining whether there has been or could or would be a Material Adverse Effect), (vi) the failure, in and of itself, by the Company to meet any expected or projected financial or operating performance target, as well as any change by the Company in any expected or projected financial or operating performance target (but the reasons or causes of such failures or changes may constitute a Material Adverse Effect and may be taken into account in determining whether there has been or could or would be a Material Adverse Effect), (vii) acts of God, national or international hostilities, war (whether or not declared) or terrorism, or (viii) any litigation brought or threatened by the stockholders of the Company or any of its non-wholly-owned subsidiaries (whether on behalf of the Company or such subsidiaries or otherwise) arising out of or in connection with the existence, announcement or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, so long as, in the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iv) and (vii), the effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is not disproportionate to that on other companies in the industry in which the Company operates.

None of the Company Securities are owned by any of the Company’s subsidiaries.

(b) Where such concepts are legally applicable, each of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Company’s subsidiaries is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. All shares of capital stock in any of the Company’s subsidiaries are owned by the Company or another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and are owned free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. (A) There are not authorized or outstanding any (i) securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of or other voting securities or ownership interests in any subsidiary of the Company or (ii) options or other rights to acquire from the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or other obligation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to issue, any capital stock, voting securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for any capital stock or other voting securities of any subsidiary of the Company (the items in clauses (i) and (ii) being referred to collectively as the “Company Subsidiary Securities”) and (B) there are no outstanding obligations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Company Subsidiary Securities.

SECTION 3.4. Authority.

Assuming the accuracy of Parent’s representations and warranties in Section 4.9, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no other corporate proceeding on the part of the Company is necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions so contemplated (other than the Stockholder Approval and the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of the Certificate of Merger as required by the DGCL). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by Parent and Merger Sub, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and any implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The only vote of the stockholders of the Company required to adopt this Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated hereby is the Stockholder Approval.

(b) At a meeting duly called and held, the Board has (i) unanimously determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are fair to and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders, (ii) unanimously approved this Agreement, the Voting Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and (iii) unanimously resolved, subject to Section 6.4, to recommend approval and adoption of this Agreement by its stockholders.

(c) When so executed and delivered in accordance with the Voting Agreement, the Merger Consent shall constitute a valid and effective Stockholder Approval in compliance with applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, and no other vote or action of the holders of any class or series of the capital stock of the Company will be necessary under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws or otherwise to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 3.5. No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

(a) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company do not and will not (i) contravene, conflict with or result in any violation or breach of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, (ii) assuming that all consents, approvals and authorizations contemplated by clauses (i) through (v) of subsection (b) below have been obtained, and all filings described in such clauses have been made, conflict with or violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which its or any of their respective properties are bound or (iii) require any consent or other action by any person under, result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) or result in the loss or change of a benefit or right under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, amendment or acceleration of, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise, approval or similar authorization or other instrument or obligation (each, a “Contract”) to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries or its or any of their respective properties are bound, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for any such conflict, violation, breach, default, loss, right or other occurrence which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the Merger by the Company do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, action by, filing with or notification to, any governmental or regulatory (including stock exchange) authority, agency, court, commission, or other governmental body, domestic, foreign or supranational (each, a “Governmental Entity”), except for (i) applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including the filing of the Information Statement (as defined below)), the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and state securities, takeover and “blue sky” laws, (ii) the applicable requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, (iii) the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of the Certificate of Merger as required by the DGCL, (iv) the applicable requirements of Antitrust Laws of jurisdictions other than the United States and (v) any such consent, approval, authorization, permit, action, filing or notification the failure of which to make or obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.7. SEC Filings; Financial Statements.

(a) The Company has filed or otherwise transmitted all forms, reports, statements, certifications and other documents (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) required to be filed by it with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since January 1, 2009 (all such forms, reports, statements, certificates and other documents filed since January 1, 2009, collectively, the “Company SEC Reports”). Each of the Company SEC Reports, as amended, complied as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, each as in effect on the date so filed. None of the Company SEC Reports contained, when filed as finally amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or incorporated by reference therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company (including any related notes thereto) included in the Company SEC Reports have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in all material respects applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries at the respective dates thereof and the consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the periods indicated. The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company (including any related notes thereto) for all interim periods included in the Company SEC Reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in all material respects applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated (subject to normal period-end adjustments).

(c) Since the enactment of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002, as amended (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act”), the Company has been and is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act. There are no outstanding loans or other extensions of credit made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to any executive officer (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) or director of the Company. The Company has not, since the enactment of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, taken any action prohibited by Section 402 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act.

(d) The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act). Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the individuals responsible for the preparation of the Company’s filings with the SEC and other public disclosure documents. The Company’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s system of internal controls over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, and such assessment concluded that such controls were effective and the Company’s independent registered accountant has issued an attestation report concluding that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.

(e) The Company has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the Board (A) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect in any material respect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, each of which, in the case of both clauses (A) and (B), is set forth in Section 3.7(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(f) To the knowledge of the Company, the Company has not identified any material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting. To the knowledge of the Company, there is no reason to believe that its auditors and its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will not be able to give the certification and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act when next due.

SECTION 3.8. Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Since December 31, 2010, the business of the Company and its subsidiaries has been conducted in the ordinary course consistent with past practices and there has not been any change, event, occurrence, development or state of circumstances or facts that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries nor any of their respective properties (for which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is liable) is or are subject to any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award except for those that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no SEC inquiries or investigations, other governmental inquiries or investigations or internal investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, in each case regarding any accounting practices of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any malfeasance by any executive officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(d) Neither the Company nor any other corporation or other trade or business that is treated as part of a single employer with the Company under Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code contributes or is required to contribute to, or has any liability with respect to, any employee benefit plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA.

(h) The execution, delivery of and performance by the Company of its obligations under the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (either alone or upon occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) (i) constitute an event under any Company Plan or any trust or loan related to any of those plans or agreements that will result in any payment, acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any Company Employee, or (ii) result in the triggering or imposition of any restrictions or limitations on the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to amend or terminate any Company Plan.

(i) No condition exists that would prevent the Company from amending or terminating any Company Plan covering a current Company Employee whose primary place of employment is in the United States or former Company Employee whose primary place of employment was in the United States (each such plan a “U.S. Company Plan”) without liability, other than the obligation for benefits accrued prior to the termination of such plan.

(k) To the knowledge of the Company, there has been no amendment to, written interpretation of or announcement (whether or not written) by the Company relating to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any of the U.S. Company Plans which would increase materially the expense of maintaining such Company Plan above the level of the expense incurred in respect thereof for the most recent fiscal year ended prior to the date hereof.

(l) No person has been treated as an independent contractor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries for tax purposes, or for purposes of exclusion from any Company Plan, who should have been treated as an employee for such purposes, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Subject to Section 6.4(b), the Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries and the officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, representatives and agents of the Company and its subsidiaries to, from the date hereof until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, not (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information or providing access to its properties, books, records or personnel) any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal (other than with Parent and its representatives) or (iii) grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.4(a), if, at any time following the date hereof and prior to 11:59 p.m., Boston time, on July 25, 2011, the Company receives a bona fide Acquisition Proposal from any person (that does not arise out of a breach of Section 6.4(a) of this Agreement or Section 5.02 of the Voting Agreement) that the Board determines in good faith (i) after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (ii) after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take the actions set forth in clauses (x) and (y) below with respect to such Acquisition Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, the Company may, in response to such Acquisition Proposal and until 11:59 p.m., Boston time, on July 25, 2011 (after which time the Company and its representatives shall cease immediately all actions set forth in clauses (x) and (y) below), (x) furnish information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries to the person who has made such Acquisition Proposal, pursuant to a confidentiality agreement (with terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement between the Company and Parent dated January 14, 2011) (a copy of which shall be provided to Parent) and (y) participate in discussions and negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 36 hours after receipt), notify Parent both orally and in writing of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, any inquiries relating to an Acquisition Proposal or any request for information from, or any negotiations sought to be initiated or continued with, either the Company or its representatives concerning an Acquisition Proposal. The Company’s written notice shall include a written summary of the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request, including the identity of the person or group of persons making the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request. The Company shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours after taking such action) advise Parent of any decision to take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably prompt

basis of the status and material terms and conditions (including any change to the financial terms or any other material term thereof) and developments of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request and the status of any discussions or negotiations with any person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request. For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal or offer from any person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than Parent and its affiliates) relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries or 20% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company then outstanding, any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person (other than any member of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family Group, except in the case of any tender offer made by or on behalf of any member of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family Group, either individually or together with one or more persons) beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company then outstanding, and any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries whose assets together constitute 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal (with all percentages in the definition of Acquisition Proposal increased to 50%) that is on terms that the Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and after taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects (including certainty of closing), to be more favorable to the Company’s stockholders than the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Except as set forth in this Section 6.4, neither the Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, the approval or recommendation by the Board of the Merger or this Agreement or the other transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal (any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”); provided, however, that the Board may (but subject to Section 6.4(e)), at any time prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval, effect an Adverse Recommendation Change (whether or not in response to an Acquisition Proposal) if the Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law; (iii) allow the Company or any of its subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, acquisition agreement or any similar agreement or understanding (other than a confidentiality agreement having the terms set forth in Section 6.4(b)) (A) constituting or related to, or that is intended to or could reasonably be expected to result in, any Acquisition Proposal or (B) requiring it to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement; or (iv) effect any transaction contemplated by any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall not be prohibited from terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms. No Adverse Recommendation Change shall change the approval of the Board for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other state law to be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.4, but subject to Section 6.4(e), if the Company has received a Superior Proposal after the date hereof that has not been withdrawn or abandoned, the Board may, at any time prior to 11:59 p.m., Boston time, on July 25, 2011, terminate this Agreement in order to cause the Company to concurrently accept such Superior Proposal; provided, that the Board has concluded, in good faith, after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside counsel, that in light of such

Superior Proposal, the failure of the Board or such committee to terminate this Agreement would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties; provided, further, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.4(d) (and any purported termination pursuant to this Section 6.4(d) shall be void and of no force or effect), unless prior to or concurrently with such termination, the Company pays the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.2(b).

(e) Neither the Board nor the Company shall effect an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 6.4(c) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.4(d) unless (i) the Company shall have provided Parent with written notice at least five business days before taking that action setting forth the Company’s intention to take such action and containing (A), if such action is intended to be taken in response to an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal, including a copy of the most current version of the proposed definitive agreement to be entered with, and the identity of, the person or group of persons making the Acquisition Proposal or (B), if such action is intended to be taken in circumstances not involving or relating to an Acquisition Proposal, a reasonably detailed description of the underlying facts giving rise to, and the reasons for taking, such action, and (ii) Parent does not provide to the Company, within five business days after its receipt of that written notification, a written proposal that (A), in the case of any action intended to be taken in response to an Acquisition Proposal, is, when taken in the aggregate, equal to, or more favorable than, such Acquisition Proposal to the stockholders of the Company or (B), in the case of any action intended to be taken in circumstances not involving or relating to an Acquisition Proposal, obviates the need for taking such action. It is understood that in the case of any action intended to be taken in response to an Acquisition Proposal, any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of the Acquisition Proposal shall require a new written notification from the Company pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, except that the Company’s advance written notice obligation shall be reduced to three business days (rather than the five business days otherwise contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence). The Company agrees that during any applicable five- or three-business-day period, as the case may be, referred to in this Section 6.4(e), the Company and its representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent and its representatives regarding any revisions proposed by Parent to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.4, shall prohibit the Company from complying with Rules 14a-9, 14d-9 or 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer) or from making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Board, after consultation with outside counsel, the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties or is otherwise required under applicable law; provided that any such action taken or disclosure made that relates to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Board reaffirms the Board’s recommendation of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby in such statement or disclosure or in connection with such action (except that a mere “stop, look and listen” disclosure in compliance with Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change).

(g) The Company shall, and shall cause its representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and shall, in accordance with the Company’s rights and subject to the Company’s obligations under applicable confidentiality agreements, use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such person (or its agents, advisors or representatives) in

possession of confidential information of the Company that was furnished by or on behalf of the Company in connection with a potential sale of the Company to return or destroy all such information (including any such information incorporated into any analysis prepared by any such persons or any of their advisors).

SECTION 6.5. Employment and Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Without limiting any additional rights that any Company Employee may have under any Company Plan or under applicable law, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its subsidiaries, for a period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on December 31, 2012, to provide severance and other separation-related payments and benefits not less favorable, in any case, than those provided for under the severance- or separation-related provisions of the Company Plans as in effect on the date hereof for any Company Employee employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries on the date hereof whose employment terminates during that period in circumstances entitling such Company Employee to payments or benefits under such severance- or separation-related provisions as in effect on the date hereof (other than any changes to such severance- or severance-related provisions to the extent required by applicable law). In respect of the annual cash bonus payable to the Company Employees for service rendered in fiscal year 2011, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to honor the terms and conditions of and obligations (existing as of the date of this Agreement) under the Company’s year 2011 annual cash bonus program and the award or participation agreements thereunder (the “2011 Bonus Program”), which 2011 Bonus Program shall be administered in a manner consistent with the Company’s historic annual bonus programs and any individual agreements with Company Employees.

(b) Without limiting any additional rights that any Company Employee may have under any Company Plan or under applicable law, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its subsidiaries, for the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on December 31, 2012, to maintain for any Company Employee, (i) subject to paragraph (a) above, compensation levels (such term to include salary, bonus opportunities and commissions) that in the aggregate are no less favorable to the Company Employee than the overall compensation levels maintained for and provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) without limiting the generality of clause (i) above, base salary or a wage rate that is no less favorable to the Company Employee than the base salary or wage rate paid to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iii) benefits (excluding any severance or equity-based compensation or awards) that in the aggregate are no less favorable to the Company Employees in the aggregate than the overall benefits (and the terms thereof) (excluding any severance or equity-based compensation or awards) maintained for and provided to such Company Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the benefits provided under any Company Defined Contribution Plan that Parent directs the Company to terminate pursuant to Section 6.5(e) as such benefits are in effect immediately prior to such Company Defined Contribution Plan’s termination); provided, however, subject to the foregoing, that nothing herein shall be construed (x) as a guarantee of continued employment of any Company Employee, (y) to prohibit the Surviving Corporation from terminating the employment of any Company Employee, or (z) to prevent the amendment or termination of any particular Company Plan or interfere with the Surviving Corporation’s right or obligation to make such changes as are necessary to conform with applicable law.

(c) As of and after the Effective Time, Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to, give each Company Employee full credit for purposes of eligibility and vesting under any employee compensation and incentive plans (other than any equity-based compensation plan), benefit (including vacation) plans, programs, policies and arrangements maintained for the benefit of Company Employees as of and after the Effective Time by Parent, its subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation (each, a “Parent Plan”) and full credit for purposes of benefit accruals under any Parent Plan that provides for paid vacation or severance, if any, for the Company Employee’s service with the Company, its subsidiaries and their predecessor entities to the same extent recognized by the Company and the applicable Company Plan or Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that, with respect to Parent’s 401(k), retirement savings plans and executive deferred savings plan, service credit shall be given for eligibility purposes but not vesting purposes relating to employer contributions. With respect to each Parent Plan that is a “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), Parent or its subsidiaries shall (i) cause to be waived any pre-existing condition or eligibility limitations and (ii) give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, Company Employees under similar plans maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) From and after the Effective Time, Parent will honor, and will cause its subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with its terms as in effect as of the date hereof or as amended or entered into as permitted under Section 5.1(g) (and the Company Disclosure Schedule thereto) (i) each existing employment, change in control, severance and termination plan, policy, or agreement of or between the Company or any of its subsidiaries and any Company Employee and (ii) all obligations pursuant to deferral plans, vested and accrued benefits under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of the Company or its subsidiaries and similar employment compensation and benefit arrangements and agreements, in each case to the extent legally binding on the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(e) Upon the written direction of Parent prior to the Effective Time, (i) the Company shall amend or cause to be amended any and all U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution plan(s) that it or its subsidiaries or any of them maintains (each, a “Company Defined Contribution Plan”) to provide that account balances of Company Employees who participate in a Company Defined Contribution Plan be fully and immediately vested and nonforfeitable as of the Effective Time and (ii) the Company shall terminate or shall cause the termination of the Company Defined Contribution Plans effective immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall cause its tax-qualified defined contribution plan (“Parent Defined Contribution Plan”) to accept eligible rollover distributions (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) by Company Employees with respect to account balances distributed to them on or as of the Effective Time by a Company Defined Contribution Plan, including, to the extent permitted under a Company Defined Contribution Plan, outstanding loan balances of all loans with a term of 120 months or less. Subject to and without limiting the generality of Section 6.5(c), each Company Employee shall be eligible effective immediately following the Closing to participate in the salaried or hourly, as the case may be, Parent Defined Contribution Plan to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the terms thereof, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to complete any documents or actions necessary or appropriate to effectuate such participation as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date.

(f) Nothing in this Section 6.5 shall be treated as an amendment of any Company Plan (or an undertaking to amend any such plan) and, without limiting the generality of Section 9.6,

nothing in this Section 6.5 shall confer any rights or benefits on any person other than the signatories to this Agreement.

SECTION 6.6. Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Without limiting any additional rights that any Company Employee may have under any employment agreement or Company Plan, from the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify and hold harmless each present (as of the Effective Time) and former officer, director or employee of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Costs”), incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to (i) the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including this Agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated hereby), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, (x) each Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from the Surviving Corporation within ten business days of receipt by the Surviving Corporation from the Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, if and only to the extent required by the DGCL, to repay such advances if it is ultimately adjudicated that such person is not entitled to indemnification, (y) neither Parent nor Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any proceeding or threatened action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim (and in which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to elect to control the defense of any such action or proceeding, and counsel selected by the Indemnified Party shall, to the extent consistent with their professional responsibilities, cooperate with Parent and counsel designated by Parent; provided, however, that if there is a conflict between Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in respect of such action or proceeding, Parent shall not be entitled to elect to control the defense of such action or proceeding (it being understood that, in such case, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to into any settlement with respect to the such action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Parent).

(b) The certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of former or present directors and officers than are presently set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals.

(c) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, either (i) cause to be obtained at the Effective Time “tail” insurance policies, at no expense to the beneficiaries, with a claims period of six years from the 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 in an amount and scope and on terms at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as the Company’s current policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time or (ii) maintain at no expense to the beneficiaries, in effect for six years from the Effective Time the current policies of the directors’ and officers’

liability insurance maintained by the Company (provided that Parent or the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are not less advantageous to any beneficiary thereof than those of such policy in effect on the date of the Agreement) with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, that, in satisfying its obligation under this Section 6.6(c), Parent, or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall not be obligated to pay aggregate premiums in excess of 300% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year, which amount is set forth in Section 6.6(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor and perform under all indemnification agreements entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is made against any Indemnified Party on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 6.6 shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(e) This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives. The indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to law, contract or otherwise.

(f) In the event that the Surviving Corporation or Parent or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in Section 6.5 and this Section 6.6. In addition, the Surviving Corporation shall not distribute, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets in a manner that would reasonably be expected to render the Surviving Corporation unable to satisfy its obligations under this Section 6.6 unless the successor or assign assumes such obligations.

SECTION 6.7. Further Action; HSR Act and Antitrust Laws.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the other provisions of this Section 6.7, promptly following execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall (and, to the extent reasonably necessary, cause their respective affiliates to) (i) prepare and, as promptly as practicable and in any event within ten (10) business days of the date hereof (unless Parent and the Company agree otherwise in writing), file, or cause to be prepared and filed, with the appropriate Antitrust Authorities, the requisite notifications and reports with respect to the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the HSR Act, (ii) use their respective reasonable best efforts to supply all information requested by Antitrust Authorities in connection with the HSR Act, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as amended, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other federal, state or foreign law, regulation or decree designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions for the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (collectively, “Antitrust Laws”), and (iii) use their respective reasonable best efforts to comply with, and cooperate with each other in responding to, any information or document requests from an Antitrust Authority. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act. Parent and the Company shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of all filing fees payable to Antitrust Authorities (or foreign equivalents) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the other provisions of this Section 6.7, the parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts and shall cooperate with one another in connection with the exercise of such efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable all approvals, orders, permits or other consents of any applicable Governmental Entities necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to furnish to the other parties and, upon request, to any Governmental Entities such information and assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the foregoing. In connection with the foregoing, each party will (i) promptly notify the other party in writing of any communication received by that party or its affiliates from any Governmental Entity, and subject to applicable Law, provide the other party with a copy of any such written communication (or written summary of any oral communication), (ii) provide the other party and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and will consider in good faith the comments of the other party in connection with, any proposed written communication, filing or other submission to any Governmental Entity in connection with the foregoing, provided that confidential or competitively sensitive information or material shall be provided solely to the other party’s outside legal counsel on an outside legal counsel basis, and unless permission is obtained in advance from the party producing the materials and information, will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of such other party, and (iii) not participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, will give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.7, the parties hereto understand and agree that the reasonable best efforts of any party hereto shall not be deemed to include (and the Company, without Parent’s prior written consent, shall not take any of the actions referred to in clauses (i) and (iii) below) (i) entering into any settlement, undertaking, consent decree, stipulation or agreement with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) litigating, challenging or taking any other action with respect to any action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity or (iii) divesting or otherwise holding separate (including by establishing a trust or otherwise), or taking any other action (or otherwise agreeing to do any of the foregoing) with respect to any of its or the Surviving Corporation’s subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates’ businesses, assets or properties.

SECTION 6.8. Financing Cooperation.

(a) The Company shall cooperate with, and cause its subsidiaries and its and their respective representatives to cooperate with, Parent and its financing sources in connection with the arrangement of financing related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such cooperation shall include, to the extent both reasonably requested by Parent and reasonably required in connection with such financing, (i) furnishing Parent and its financing sources with financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Parent, (ii) providing direct contact between prospective financing sources and the officers the Company, (iii) providing assistance in extinguishing existing indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries and releasing liens securing such indebtedness, in each case to take effect at the Effective Time, (iv) cooperation with respect to matters relating to pledges of collateral to take effect at the Effective Time in connection with such financing, (v) assisting Parent in obtaining legal opinions to be delivered in connection with such financing and (vi) assisting Parent in securing the cooperation of the independent accountants of the Company and its subsidiaries; provided, in each case, that (a) such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with or disrupt the ongoing operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, (b) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall be required to take any action that would subject them to any liability or to pay any commitment or other similar fee in connection with such financing prior to the Effective Time unless reimbursed or indemnified by Parent to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company and (c) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall be required to enter into any credit agreement, security agreement or other agreement in connection with the arrangement of financing related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or take any action that would encumber any of its assets prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that neither obtaining financing related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor completing any issuance of securities contemplated by such financing, is a condition to the Closing, and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of such financing, or the completion of any such issuance.

SECTION 6.9. Public Announcements. The Company and Parent will consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except as may be required by applicable law or any listing agreement with, or any rules of, a national securities exchange, in which case the issuing party will use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party before it issues any such press release or makes any such public statement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any matter addressed in Section 6.4.

(d) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement.

This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by action taken by or on behalf of their respective Boards of Directors at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company; provided, however, that, after adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company, no amendment may be made which under applicable law requires the further approval of the stockholders of the Company without such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. The failure of any party to assert any rights or remedies shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies.
