Agreement and Plan of Merger

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 30, 2016, among SolarCity Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Tesla Motors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and D Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company, the Board of Directors of Parent and the Board of Directors of Merger Sub have approved or adopted, as applicable, this Agreement, determined that the terms of this Agreement are fair to and in the best interests of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, and their respective stockholders, and declared the advisability of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors of Merger Sub have recommended adoption and approval of this Agreement by their respective stockholders;

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Mr. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (the “Principal Stockholder”) is entering into an agreement (the “Voting Agreement” and, together with this Agreement, the “Transaction Agreements”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D pursuant to which the Principal Stockholder agrees to take certain actions required by the Special Committee, including to vote his and his controlled Affiliates’ beneficially owned Company Common Stock as to which he and/or such Affiliate has sole voting power in favor of the Merger, and, with respect to any Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board or a duly authorized committee thereof determines constitutes a Superior Proposal, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, proportionately with the vote of other stockholders of the Company on such an Acquisition Proposal; and

WHEREAS, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, it is intended that (i) the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (ii) Parent, the Company and Merger Sub each will be a party to such reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code, and this Agreement is intended to be, and is adopted as, a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.01 The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), on the Closing Date, Merger Sub shall be

merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”). At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving company in the Merger (the “Surviving Company”). The Merger, the issuance by Parent of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger (the “Share Issuance”) and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements are referred to in the Transaction Agreements collectively as the “Transactions”.

Section 1.02 Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the Merger shall take place at the offices of Wachtell, Lipton, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on a date to be specified by the Company and Parent, which shall be no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver by the party or parties entitled to the benefits thereof of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of those conditions), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and Parent. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

Section 1.03 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger relating to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) executed in accordance with, and in such form as is required by, the relevant provisions of the DGCL, and, as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date, shall make all other filings required under the DGCL or by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at the time that the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later time as the Company and Parent shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.04 Effects. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company.

Section 1.05 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law. At the Effective Time, the bylaws in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Company until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

Section 1.06 Directors and Officers of Surviving Company and Company Subsidiaries. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Company until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be, in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Company until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be, in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company. To the extent requested by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable officers and directors of each Company Subsidiary (or those Company Subsidiaries so specified by Parent) to tender their resignations as officers or directors of the applicable Company Subsidiaries, effective as of the Effective Time, to deliver to Parent written evidence of such resignations (to be effective as of the Effective Time) prior to the Effective Time. In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent, including by providing to Parent information and access pursuant to and subject to Section 6.02 reasonably requested by Parent.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT ENTITIES;

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.01 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders of any shares of Company Common Stock or Merger Sub Common Stock:

(a) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, in Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Company with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Company. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Company into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) that is owned by the Company as treasury stock and each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.02, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Merger Consideration”). All such shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor and any dividends or other distributions to which holders become entitled upon the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.02, without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, consolidation or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then any number or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock, as the case may be, will be appropriately adjusted to provide to Parent and the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be construed to permit Parent or the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.02 Exchange of Certificates. (a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration and cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.02(f). All such Parent Common Stock and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent is hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”.

(b) Letter of Transmittal. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Common Stock a form of letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions (including customary provisions with respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to shares held in book-entry form) as Parent may specify subject to the Company’s reasonable approval prior to the Effective Time), together with instructions thereto.

(c) Merger Consideration Received in Connection with Exchange. Upon (i) the surrender of such Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, in the case of shares of Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate, or (ii) the receipt of an “agent’s

message” by the Exchange Agent, in the case of shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form, and in each case together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly, completely and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (A) the Merger Consideration into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01(c) and (B) any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and in respect of any dividends or other distributions which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(d). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.01(c) and cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and in respect of any dividends or other distributions which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(d) may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Company Common Stock (or, if such Company Common Stock is held in book-entry form, proper evidence of such transfer) is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence satisfactory to the Exchange Agent and Parent that any applicable stock transfer or similar Taxes have been paid or are not payable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02(c), each share of Company Common Stock, and any Certificate with respect thereto, shall be deemed at any time from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration which the holders of shares of Company Common Stock were entitled to receive in respect of such shares pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) (and cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and in respect of any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.02(d)). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form).

(d) Treatment of Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon surrender thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.02(f), until the surrender of such Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) in accordance with this Article II. Subject to escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form), there shall be paid to the holder of the certificate representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The shares of Parent Common Stock issued and cash paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.02(f)) shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Company of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) are presented to Parent or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(f) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.01(c). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock exchanged by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the last reported sale price of Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “NASDAQ”) (as reported in The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source mutually selected by Parent and the Company) on the last complete trading day prior to the date of the Effective Time.

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent and any holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends and distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article II, in each case without any interest thereon.

(h) No Liability. None of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates for two (2) years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Exchange Fund would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Entity) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(i) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

(j) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement any amounts required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law. Amounts so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(k) Lost Certificates. If 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 such reasonable and customary amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends and distributions on the Certificate deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.03 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) Company Stock Options. Except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 2.03(a), each Company Stock Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and converted into a Parent Stock Option to purchase (i) that number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio, (ii) at a per-share exercise price (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.03(a), each such Parent Stock Option shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including the applicable time-vesting and/or performance-vesting conditions) as applied to the corresponding Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Company Stock Options set forth on Section 2.03(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be cancelled for no consideration effective immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Company RSU Awards. Each Company RSU Award, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and converted into a Parent RSU Award with respect to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.03(b), each such Parent RSU Award shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including the applicable time-vesting and/or performance-vesting conditions) as applied to the corresponding Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Company Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the Company Stock Plans) shall pass resolutions to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03.

(d) Parent Actions. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, if and to the extent necessary to cause a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be registered and issuable with respect to the Parent Equity Awards, Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to Form S-4 or registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Parent Equity Awards.

Section 2.04 Treatment of Company ESPP. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall take all actions with respect to the Company ESPP that are necessary to provide that: (a) with respect to the offering period in effect as of the date hereof, no participant in the Company ESPP may increase the percentage amount of his or her payroll deduction election from that in effect on the date hereof for such offering period; (b) such current offering period shall end, and any outstanding options under the Company ESPP shall be exercised upon, the earlier to occur of (i) the day that is four (4) trading days prior to the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which such current offering period would otherwise end; (c) if such current offering period ends prior to the Closing Date, the Company ESPP shall be suspended and no new offering period shall be commenced thereunder; and (d) subject to the consummation of the Merger, the Company ESPP shall terminate, effective immediately prior to the Effective Time.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT AND MERGER SUB

Parent and Merger Sub jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Company that the statements contained in this Article III are true and correct except as set forth in the Parent SEC Documents filed and publicly available after January 1, 2014 and at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Filed Parent SEC Documents”) (excluding any disclosures in the Filed Parent SEC Documents in any risk factors section, any forward looking disclosure in any section related to forward looking statements and other disclosures that are predictive or forward-looking in nature, in each case, other than historical facts included therein) or in the disclosure letter delivered by Parent to the Company at or before the execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement (the “Parent Disclosure Letter”). The Parent Disclosure Letter shall be arranged in numbered and lettered sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections contained in this Article III, and the disclosure in any section shall be deemed to qualify other sections in this Article III to the extent (and only to the extent) that it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure also qualifies or applies to such other sections or to the extent incorporated by cross-reference therein.

Section 3.01 Organization, Standing and Power. Each of Parent and each of Parent’s Subsidiaries (the “Parent Subsidiaries”) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized (in the case of good standing, to the extent such jurisdiction recognizes such concept), except, in the case of the Parent Subsidiaries, where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Each of Parent and the Parent

Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority and possesses all governmental franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations, variances, exemptions, orders, registrations, clearances and approvals (collectively, “Permits”) necessary to enable it to own, operate, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to conduct its businesses as presently conducted (the “Parent Permits”), except where the failure to have such power or authority or to possess Parent Permits, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Each of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties make such qualification necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Parent has delivered or made available to the Company, prior to execution of this Agreement, true and complete copies of (a) the certificate of incorporation of Parent, as amended, in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Parent Charter”) and the restated bylaws of Parent in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Parent Bylaws”) and (b) the constituent documents of Merger Sub.

Section 3.02 Parent Subsidiaries. (a) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or voting securities of, or other equity interests in, each of the Parent Subsidiaries have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by Parent, by another Parent Subsidiary or by Parent and another Parent Subsidiary, free and clear of all material Liens, and free of any other restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock, voting securities or other equity interests), except for restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws. Section 3.02(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter sets forth, as of the date of this Agreement, a true and complete list of the Parent Subsidiaries.

(b) Except for the capital stock and voting securities of, and other equity interests in, the Parent Subsidiaries, neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary owns, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or voting securities of, or other equity interests in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock or voting securities of, or other equity interests in, any firm, corporation, partnership, company, limited liability company, trust, joint venture, association or other entity other than ordinary course investments in publicly traded securities constituting one percent or less of a class of outstanding securities of any entity.

(a) Except as expressly permitted by Section 5.02(c) and except as may relate to any Excluded Party (but only for as long as such Person or group is an Excluded Party), following the conclusion of the Go-Shop Period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, immediately cease any discussions or negotiations with any Person or group that may be ongoing with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. With respect to any Person or group with whom such discussions or negotiations have been terminated, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly require such Person or group to promptly return or destroy in accordance with the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement any information furnished by or on behalf of the Company and shut down the applicable Person’s or group’s access to any physical or electronic “data room” or analogous access to information.

(b) Except as expressly permitted by Section 5.02(c) and except as may relate to any Excluded Party (but only for as long as such Person or group is an Excluded Party), from the conclusion of the Go-Shop Period until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, the Company shall not, shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and shall instruct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives not to, (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage any inquiry or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in, an Acquisition Proposal, including by providing non-public information and other access to any Person, (ii) engage in, enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to, or provide any non-public information or data concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries to any Person relating to, any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) enter into any acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement, or any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or agreement in principle, or any other agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), (iv) adopt resolutions or otherwise take any

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.02(a) or Section 5.02(b), at any time following the conclusion of the Go-Shop Period and prior to the time the Company Requisite Stockholder Approvals are obtained, if the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal from any Person that did not result from any breach of this Section 5.02, the Company and its Representatives may contact such Person to clarify the terms and conditions thereof and (i) the Company and its Representatives may provide or otherwise make available information (including non-public information and data) regarding, and afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records and personnel of, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the System Financing Entities and other access to such Person or its Representatives pursuant to (but only pursuant to) to a customary confidentiality agreement (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”), duly executed by such Person, (A) containing terms that are not materially more favorable in the aggregate to such Person than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement or (B) on terms reasonably acceptable to Parent; provided that the Company shall make available to Parent substantially concurrently with providing to any such other Person (and in any event within 48 hours) any non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries that was not previously made available to Parent or its Representatives, and (ii) the Company and its Representatives may engage in, enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with such Person with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, if and only to the extent that prior to taking any action described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal is or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Agreements, at any time and from time to time until the date forty-five (45) calendar days after the date of this Agreement (the period prior to such date, the “Go-Shop Period”), the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the System Financing Entities and their respective Representatives shall have the right to, without any allegation of breach of this Agreement by Parent or Parent’s Representatives, (i) initiate, solicit and encourage any inquiry or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal, including by making available information (including non-public information and data) regarding, and affording access to the business, properties, assets, books, records and personnel of, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the System Financing Entities to any Person pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided that the Company shall make available to Parent substantially concurrently with providing to any such other Person (and in any event within 48 hours) any non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries that was not previously provided to Parent or its Representatives; and (ii) engage in, enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or

negotiations with any Persons or group of Persons with respect to any Acquisition Proposals and cooperate with or assist or participate in or facilitate any such inquiries, proposals, discussions or negotiations or any effort or attempt to make any Acquisition Proposals. No later than two (2) Business Days after the conclusion of the Go-Shop Period, the Company shall notify Parent in writing of the identity of each Person or group of Persons from whom the Company received a written Acquisition Proposal prior to the conclusion of the Go-Shop Period and provide to Parent (x) a copy of any Acquisition Proposal made in writing and any other written terms or proposals provided to the Company or any Company Subsidiary System Financing Entities and (y) a written summary of the material terms of any Acquisition Proposal not made in writing (including any terms proposed orally or supplementally).

The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a prompt basis (and in any event within 48 hours) of any material developments, material discussions or material negotiations regarding (i) any Acquisition Proposal, inquiry that would reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, or request for non-public information, in the case of any Person or group that is not an Excluded Party, or (ii) any Acquisition Proposal that is or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, in the case of any Person or group that is an Excluded Party (but only for as long as such Person or group is an Excluded Party). None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement that would prohibit them from providing such information or the information contemplated by the last sentence of Section 5.02(c) to Parent.

(e) Except as set forth in this Section 5.02(e), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent (or publicly propose or resolve to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), the Company Recommendation with respect to the Merger, (B) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (C) approve, authorize, endorse, declare advisable, adopt, enter into or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, authorize, endorse, declare advisable, adopt, enter into or recommend to the stockholders of the Company, an Acquisition Proposal or (D) if a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of capital stock of the Company that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal is commenced, fail to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by the Company stockholders (including, for these purposes, by disclosing that it is taking no position with respect to the acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by its shareholders, which shall constitute a failure to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer, provided that a customary “stop, look and listen” communication by the Board of Directors pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act shall not be prohibited), within ten (10) Business Days after commencement (any of the foregoing, a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) authorize, adopt or approve or propose

to authorize, adopt or approve, an Acquisition Proposal, or cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.02(e), prior to the time the Company Requisite Stockholder Approvals are obtained (but not after), the Company Board may (1) effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor and upon recommendation thereof by the Special Committee that, as a result of a Company Intervening Event, the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (2) if the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal that did not result from any breach of this Section 5.02 the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors and upon recommendation thereof by the Special Committee constitutes a Superior Proposal, authorize, adopt, or approve such Superior Proposal and cause or permit the Company to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, but only if (I) the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor and upon recommendation thereof by the Special Committee that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (II) if the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(g) concurrently with entering into such Alternative Acquisition Agreement and pays the applicable Company Termination Fee in compliance with Section 6.05(b)(iii); provided, however, that the Company Board may only take the actions described in the foregoing clauses (1) or (2) if:

(i) the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent of the Company Board’s intention to take such actions and the reasons therefor at least four (4) Business Days in advance of taking such action, which notice shall specify, as applicable, the details of such Company Intervening Event or the material terms of the Acquisition Proposal received by the Company that constitutes a Superior Proposal and attaches the most current version of the proposed agreement or other documentation under which such Acquisition Proposal is proposed to be consummated and any other material documents in respect of such Acquisition Proposal and states the identity of the third party making such Acquisition Proposal (a “Superior Proposal Notice”) (it being understood that, except as may relate to an Excluded Party, any material change to the terms of such Superior Proposal, as applicable, shall require a new Superior Proposal Notice and, in such case, all references to four (4) Business Days in this Section 5.02(e) shall be deemed to be three (3) Business Days (each such four (4) or three (3) Business Day period, a “Notice Period”));

(ii) after providing such notice and prior to taking such actions, the Company shall have, and shall have caused its Representatives to have, negotiated with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desire to negotiate) during such Notice Period to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would permit the Company Board not to take such actions; and

(iii) the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement or other arrangements that may be offered in writing by Parent prior to the termination of such Notice Period and shall have, after taking into account such changes, determined in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor that, (A) with respect to the actions described in the foregoing clause (1) of Section 5.02(e), such Company Intervening Event remains in effect and that it would continue to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law not to take such action, and (B) with respect to the actions described in the foregoing clause (2) of Section 5.02(e), such Acquisition Proposal received by the Company continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that it would continue to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law not to take such action, in each case, if such changes offered in writing by Parent were given effect.

After compliance with the foregoing clauses (i)-(iii) with respect to any Superior Proposal, the Company shall have no further obligations under the foregoing clauses (i)-(iii), and the Company Board shall not be required to comply with such obligations with respect to any other Superior Proposal. After compliance with the foregoing clauses (i)-(iii) with respect to a Company Intervening Event, the Company shall have no further obligations under the foregoing clauses (i)-(iii), and the Company Board shall not be required to comply with such obligations with respect to any other Company Intervening Event.

(f) Subject to the proviso in this Section 5.02(f), nothing contained in this Section 5.02 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company, the Company Board, the Special Committee or any other committee of the Company Board from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal, including taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer), or (ii) making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to the stockholders of the Company); provided that neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change unless the applicable requirements of Section 5.02(e) shall have been satisfied.

(g) As used in this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any bona fide inquiry, proposal or offer made by any Person for, in a single transaction or a series of transactions, (i) a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, extraordinary dividend or share repurchase, dissolution, liquidation or similar transaction involving the Company, (ii) the direct or indirect acquisition by any Person or group of twenty percent (20%) or more of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the consolidated revenues or net income (including, in each case, securities of the Company’s Subsidiaries) or (iii) the direct or indirect acquisition by any Person or group of twenty percent (20%) or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, including any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning shares with twenty percent (20%) or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(h) As used in this Agreement:

(i) “Company Intervening Event” means a development or change in circumstances that is unknown to the Company Board or the Special Committee of the Company Board (the “Special Committee”) as of the date of this Agreement, which development or change in circumstance becomes known to or by the members of the Board or the Special Committee prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Stockholder Approvals; provided, however that none of the following shall constitute, be deemed to contribute to or otherwise be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Company Intervening Event: (i) any changes in the market price or trading volume of Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock, in and of itself (it being understood that the facts or occurrences giving rise or contributing to such change may be taken into account when determining a Company Intervening Event) and (ii) the receipt, existence of or terms of an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry relating thereto or the consequences thereof.

(ii) “Excluded Party” means any Person, group of Persons or group of Persons that includes any Person or group of Persons, from whom the Company or any of its Representatives has received prior to the conclusion of the Go-Shop Period a written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith (such determination to be made no later than two (2) Business Days after the conclusion of the Go-Shop Period), after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors and upon recommendation thereof by the Special Committee, is or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; provided that some or all of such Persons and the other members of such group who were members of such group immediately prior to the conclusion of the Go-Shop Period constitute at least 50% of the equity financing of such group at any time thereafter when a determination as to whether such Person is an Excluded Party is required hereunder.

(i) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (with the percentages set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of such term changed from 20% to 50% and it being understood that any transaction that would constitute an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition thereof cannot constitute a Superior Proposal under clause (i) under the definition thereof unless it also constitutes a Superior Proposal pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii), as applicable, after giving effect to this parenthetical) that the Company Board has determined in its good faith judgment, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, is more favorable to the Company’s stockholders than the Transactions, taking into account all of the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal (including the financing, likelihood and timing of consummation thereof) and this Agreement (including any changes to the terms of this Agreement committed to by Parent to the Company in writing in response to such Acquisition Proposal under the provisions of Section 5.02(e) or otherwise).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.03(a) or Section 5.03(b) at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to the time the Parent Requisite Stockholder Approvals are obtained, if Parent receives a Parent Acquisition Proposal from any Person that did not result from any breach of this Section 5.03, Parent and its Representatives may contact such Person to clarify the terms and conditions thereof and (i) Parent and its Representatives may provide non-public information and other access to such Person if Parent receives from such Person (or has received from such Person) an executed a customary confidentiality agreement, and (ii) Parent and its Representatives may engage in, enter

(d) Except as set forth in this Section 5.03(d), neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to the Company (or publicly propose or resolve to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), the Parent Recommendation, (B) fail to include the Parent Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (C) approve, authorize, endorse, declare advisable, adopt, enter into or recommend to the stockholders of the Parent, or publicly propose to approve, authorize, endorse, declare advisable, adopt, enter into or recommend to the stockholders of Parent, a Parent Acquisition Proposal or (D) if a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of capital stock of Parent that constitutes a Parent Acquisition Proposal is commenced, fail to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by the Parent stockholders (including, for these purposes, by disclosing that it is taking no position with respect to the acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by its stockholders, which shall constitute a failure to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer, provided that a customary “stop, look and listen” communication by the Board of Directors pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act shall not be prohibited), within ten (10) Business Days after commencement (any of the foregoing, a “Parent Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) authorize, adopt or approve or propose to authorize, adopt or approve, a Parent Acquisition Proposal, or cause or permit Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any Parent Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.03(d), prior to the time the Parent Requisite Stockholder Approvals are obtained (but not after), the Parent Board may (1) effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change if the Parent Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor that, as a result of a Parent Intervening Event, the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (2) if Parent receives a Parent Acquisition Proposal that did not result from any breach of this Section 5.03 that the Parent Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal, authorize, adopt, or approve such Parent Superior Proposal and cause or permit Parent to enter into an Parent Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Parent Superior Proposal, but, with respect to the foregoing clause (1), only if, (I) the Parent Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (II) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h) concurrently with entering into such Parent Acquisition Agreement and pays the applicable Parent Termination Fee in compliance with Section 6.05(c)(iii); provided, however, that the Parent Board may only take the actions described in the foregoing clauses (1) or (2) if:

their respective certificates of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) as in effect on the date of this Agreement or in any agreement, a true and complete copy of which agreement has been provided by the Company to Parent prior to the date hereof, to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, shall survive the Merger and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, maintain in effect (to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law) the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Company’s and any Company Subsidiary’s articles of incorporation and bylaws or other organization documents in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time or in any agreement, a true and complete copy of which agreement has been provided by the Company to Parent prior to the date hereof, to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, in each case in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions or the exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses provisions of the Surviving Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws set forth in Exhibit A and Exhibit B in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individual who immediately before the Effective Time was a Company Indemnified Party; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim.

(b) For a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the coverage provided by the policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance in effect as of the Effective Time by the Company and its Subsidiaries from a carrier with comparable or better credit ratings to the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policy carrier and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the insured Persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company with respect to claims arising from facts, events, acts or omissions that occurred on or before the Effective Time, except that in no event shall Parent be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of the amount set forth on Section 6.04(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Maximum Amount”); provided, however, that if such insurance can only be obtained at an annual premium in excess of the Maximum Amount, Parent shall obtain the most advantageous policy of directors’ and officers’ insurance obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Amount. In lieu of the foregoing, the Company may in its discretion purchase, and Parent may in its discretion purchase if the Company declines to do so, a “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policy covering the six-year period from and after the Effective Time from a carrier with comparable or better credit ratings to the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policy carrier and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the insured Persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company with respect to claims arising from facts, events, acts or omissions that occurred on or before the Effective Time, provided that without the Parent’s consent, the cost of such “tail” policy shall not exceed the Maximum Amount.

(c) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent or the Surviving Company shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.04.

(d) At and after the Effective Time, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of the foregoing; provided, however, that the Company Indemnified Party to whom funds are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification under Law applicable to Parent) each Company Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law against any costs or expenses, judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened Action, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Company Indemnified Party is or was an officer or director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any Company Subsidiary as a director or officer of another Person, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time. Parent and the Surviving Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Company Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Action.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.04 shall (i) survive consummation of the Merger, (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified or insured party (including the Company Indemnified Parties), his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.

Section 6.05 Fees and Expenses. (a) Except as provided in Sections 6.05(b) and 6.05(c), all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not such transactions are consummated.

(i) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e); provided that if either the Company or Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i) or Section 8.01(b)(iii) at any time after Parent would have been permitted to terminate this agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e), this Agreement shall be deemed terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(e) for purposes of this Section 6.05(b)(i);

(ii) (A) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i), Section 8.01(b)(iii) or Section 8.01(d), (B) after the date hereof, but prior to the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting (in the case of Section 8.01(b)(iii)) or prior to the date this Agreement is terminated (in the case of Section 8.01(b)(i) or Section 8.01(d)), a third party has made, or publicly and financially credibly indicated an intention to make, and has not withdrawn prior to the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting, in the case of Section 8.01(b)(iii), or prior to the date of termination, in the case of Section 8.01(b)(i) or Section 8.01(d),

an Acquisition Proposal that has become known to the public, and (C) within 12 months of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive Contract to consummate any Acquisition Proposal or any Acquisition Proposal is consummated. For the purposes of Section 6.05(b)(ii)(C) only, the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 5.02(d) except that all references to “20%” therein shall be deemed to be references to “50%”; or

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 9.06 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 9.08, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (x) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if such process is given as a notice in accordance with Section 9.02.

Section 9.09 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided that Parent and Merger Sub may assign their rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent so long as Parent continues to remain primarily liable for all of such rights and obligations as if no such assignment had occurred. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.10 Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their 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, prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing 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 Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.

Section 9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 9.11.

To the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

ARTICLE VII - INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 7.3 of this Article VII with respect to Proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

Section 7.2. Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in Section 7.1 of this Article VII shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “Undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “Final Adjudication”) that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 7.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of this Article VII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

Section 7.3. Right to Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 of this Article VII is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit

against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a Final Adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

Section 7.4. Non-exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 7.5. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 7.6. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any officer, employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VIII - AMENDMENTS

Section 8.1. Amendments. These By-Laws may be amended or repealed by the Board or by the stockholders.

Exhibit C

Exclusive Forum Bylaw

Section 11.1. Forum for Adjudication of Certain Disputes. Unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum (an “Alternative Forum Consent”), the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the corporation to the corporation or the corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the corporation or any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the corporation arising out of or relating to any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the corporation or any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that, in the event that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding shall be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in each such case, unless the Court of Chancery (or such other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) has dismissed a prior action by the same plaintiff asserting the same claims because such court lacked personal jurisdiction over an indispensable party named as a defendant therein. Failure to enforce the foregoing provisions would cause the corporation irreparable harm and the corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, to enforce the foregoing provisions. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 11.1. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of this Section 11.1 is filed in a court other than the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or any other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) (a “Foreign Action”) by or in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or such other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce this Section 11.1 and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder. The existence of any prior Alternative Forum Consent shall not act as a waiver of the corporation’s ongoing consent right as set forth above in this Section 11.1 with respect to any current or future actions or claims.

7. Stockholder Capacity. No Person executing this Agreement who is or becomes during the term hereof a director or officer, or any other similar function or capacity, of the Company, Parent or any other Person shall be deemed to make any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in such Person’s capacity as a director or officer, or any other similar function or capacity.

The taking of any actions (or any failures to act) by a Stockholder in such Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer, or any other similar function or capacity, of the Company, Parent or any other Person shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement, regardless of the circumstances related thereto.

These injunctive

remedies are cumulative and shall be the Company’s sole remedy under this Agreement unless the Company shall have sought and been denied injunctive remedies, and such denial is other than by reason of the absence of violation of such covenants, obligations or agreements.

10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
