The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.3 Effective Time. At the Closing, Parent and the Company shall cause a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, signed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in such form as is required by the relevant provisions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective when the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such other subsequent date or time as Parent and the Company may agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL, this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger.

Section 1.5 Certificate of Incorporation.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

Section 2.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of any shares of capital stock of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company:

(a) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and each share of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”) held in the treasury of the Company, owned by the Company or any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries or owned by Parent or any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) immediately before the Effective Time (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) shall be cancelled automatically and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid for those Excluded Shares.

(i) Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (other than (x) Excluded Shares, (y) Dissenting Shares and (z) Company Restricted Stock Awards, which shall be treated pursuant to Section 2.3(b)) shall be converted automatically into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash, without any interest thereon and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law in accordance with Section 2.2(f).

(ii) All shares of Common Stock that are converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) shall be cancelled automatically and shall cease to exist, and the holders of (A) certificates which immediately before the Effective Time represented such shares (the “Certificates”) or (B) such shares represented by book-entry (the “Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2 and any dividends or other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been authorized by the Company and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.

(d) Equitable Adjustment(i). If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 5.1), any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or if any stock dividend or stock distribution is declared with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to the extent appropriate to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to any such change in the number of outstanding shares of capital stock.

Section 2.2 Surrender of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares.

(a) Paying Agent. Not less than ten (10) Business Days before the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall (i) jointly select a bank or trust company that is reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Company to act as the paying agent in the Merger (the “Paying Agent”) and (ii) enter into a paying agent agreement with the Paying Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Company. Parent shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Paying Agent.

(b) Payment Fund. At the Closing, and concurrently with the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Common Stock, cash or immediately available funds in an amount equal to the aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(c). Such funds provided to the Paying Agent are referred to as the “Payment Fund.” For the avoidance of doubt, Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to Section 2.1(c) with respect to Company Restricted Stock Awards shall be payable solely pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and not pursuant to this Section 2.2.

(i) Letter of Transmittal. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a share of Common Stock converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c), (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form, specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such holder’s shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of 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 (B) instructions for surrendering such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

(ii) Surrender of Shares. Upon surrender of a Certificate or of a Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying Agent in accordance with the instructions provided by the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) above, together with a duly executed and completed letter of transmittal and any other documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent, the holder of that Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Paying Agent shall pay in exchange therefor, the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the number of shares formerly evidenced by that Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Any Certificates and Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall be cancelled immediately. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

(iii) Unregistered Transferees. If any Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, then the Merger Consideration may be paid to such a transferee so long as (A) the surrendered Certificate is accompanied by all documents required by Parent to evidence and effect that transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment (1) pays any applicable transfer taxes or (2) establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent and the Paying Agent that any such transfer taxes have already been paid or are not applicable.

(iv) No Other Rights. Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.2(c), each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay any dividends or other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been authorized by the Company and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time. Any Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Certificate or Book-Entry Share and the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by it.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate is 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 the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall pay, in exchange for such affidavit, the Merger Consideration to such Person in respect of the shares of Common Stock represented by such Certificate.

(e) No Further Transfers. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately before the Effective Time.

(f) Required Withholding. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), or any other applicable state, local or foreign Law. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, those amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made for all purposes under this Agreement.

(g) No Liability. None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent (or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates) shall be liable to any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for any amount properly paid to a Governmental Authority under any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(h) Investment of Payment Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest the Payment Fund as directed by Parent; provided, that such investment shall be in obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations of issuers organized under the Law of a state of the United States of America, rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers’ acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion and reasonably acceptable to the Company, or in mutual funds investing in such assets. Any such investment shall be for the benefit, and at the risk, of Parent, and any interest or other income resulting from such investment shall be for the benefit of Parent; provided, that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to former stockholders of the Company, and Parent shall promptly provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to promptly provide, additional funds to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the former stockholders of the Company in the amount of any such losses to the extent necessary to satisfy the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Article II.

(i) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Paying Agent to Parent upon demand. Thereafter, any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall look only to Parent for, and Parent shall remain liable for, payment of the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to the terms of this Article II, subject to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 2.3 Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) Treatment of Stock Options. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, at the Effective Time, (i) each outstanding option granted to purchase shares of Common Stock (each, a “Company Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not then exercisable or vested) shall automatically, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by Parent, Merger Sub or the holder of such Company Option, become fully vested and converted into the right to receive, after the Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.3(d), a cash payment with respect thereto equal to the product of

(A) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Company Option (the “Option Cash Payment”, and the sum of all such payments, the “Total Option Cash Payments”) and (ii) all Company Options shall automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Option Cash Payment. If the exercise price of a Company Option is equal to or exceeds the Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall be cancelled and terminated at the Effective Time without payment or consideration therefor and the holder of such Company Option shall cease to have any rights whatsoever with respect thereto.

(b) Treatment of Restricted Stock. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, at the Effective Time, (i) each award of restricted stock granted (each, a “Company Restricted Stock Award”) that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by Parent, Merger Sub or the holder of such Company Restricted Stock Award, become fully vested and converted into the right to receive, after the Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.3(d), a cash payment with respect thereto equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company Restricted Stock Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Merger Consideration (the “Restricted Stock Award Payment” and the sum of all such payments, the “Total Restricted Stock Award Payments”) and (ii) all Company Restricted Stock Awards shall automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Restricted Stock Award shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Restricted Stock Award Payment.

(c) Treatment of PSUs. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, at the Effective Time, (i) each award of performance share units granted (each, a “Company PSU”) that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by Parent, Merger Sub or the holder of such Company PSU, become fully vested and converted into the right to receive, after the Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.3(d), a cash payment with respect thereto equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company PSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (calculating such number of shares based upon Total Shareholder Return through and including the Closing, including payments of the aggregate Merger Consideration and with such shares being prorated for the number of days from the commencement of the Performance Period (as defined in the applicable grant agreement) through and including the Closing Date compared to the total number of days in the Performance Period) and (B) the Merger Consideration (the “PSU Payment” and the sum of all such payments, the “Total PSU Payments”) and (ii) all Company PSUs shall automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a Company PSU shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the PSU Payment.

(d) Payments. Promptly (and in any event at or prior to the Company’s next regularly scheduled payroll cycle after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) mail a check or otherwise make payment using the Company’s existing payroll system to (i) each holder of a Company Option, in the amount of the aggregate Option Cash Payment due and payable to such holder pursuant to

Section 2.3(a), (ii) each holder of a Company Restricted Stock Award, in the amount of the aggregate Restricted Stock Award Payment due and payable to such holder pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and (iii) each holder of a Company PSU, in the amount of the aggregate PSU Payment due and payable to such holder pursuant to Section 2.3(c), in each case subject to any applicable deduction or withholding under Section 2.2(f).

Except to the extent obtained prior to the date of this Agreement, no vote or consent of the stockholders of Parent is required by any applicable Law or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents of Parent in connection with the Merger or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a) contravene or conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, any provision of the organizational documents of Parent or Merger Sub;

(b) contravene or conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, any Law or Permit applicable to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any assets of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (“Parent Assets”) are bound, assuming that all Governmental Authorizations described in Section 4.2 have been obtained or made, as applicable, other than as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect;

(d) require any consent, approval or other authorization of, or filing with or notification to, any Person under any Parent Contracts, other than as, if not obtained, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.5 Capitalization; Interim Operations of Merger Sub; Ownership of Common Stock; Section 203 of the DGCL.

(a) The authorized capital stock of Merger Sub consists solely of one thousand (1,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, all of which shares are validly issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Merger Sub is, and at the Effective Time will be, owned by Parent. Merger Sub has no outstanding option, warrant, right or any other agreement pursuant to which any Person other than Parent may acquire any capital stock of or other equity interests in Merger Sub.

(b) Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub will not have engaged in any business activities or conducted any operations and have no Liabilities or obligations other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) No shares of Common Stock or securities that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Common Stock are owned (directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record) by any Sponsor, Parent or Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary or controlled Affiliate of any Sponsor, Parent or Merger Sub. Merger Sub has no Subsidiaries. None of the Sponsors, Parent, Merger Sub or their respective controlled Affiliates holds any rights to acquire or vote any shares of Common Stock except pursuant to this Agreement. Before the action of the Company Board taken on the date of this Agreement, neither Parent nor Merger Sub, alone or together with any other Person, was at any time, or became, an “interested stockholder” of the Company as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL, or has taken any action that would cause the restrictions on business combinations with interested stockholders set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL to be applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) As of the date of this Agreement, none of the Sponsors, Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates has any agreement, arrangement or understanding concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with any director of the Company.

Section 4.6 Financing.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub affirms that it is not a condition to Closing under this Agreement (including the payment by Parent and Merger Sub of the Required Payments) that Parent or Merger Sub obtains Debt Financing (including, without limitation, as contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter for or related to any of the transactions contemplated herein, but acknowledging that the Company’s right to specific performance to cause the Equity Financing to be funded under the Equity Commitment Letter are subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8.16(b)). Any failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the payment by Parent and Merger Sub of the Required Payments) as a result of a failure to close any Debt Financing or receive the proceeds of any Debt Financing shall constitute a material breach by Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement.

(b) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent has delivered to the Company a duly executed equity commitment letter to which the Company is an express third party beneficiary on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, dated as of the date hereof (including all exhibits, schedules and annexes to such letter, the “Equity Commitment Letter”), from GTCR Fund X/A LP, GTCR X/C LP and GTCR Co-Invest X LP (collectively, the “Sponsors” and each, a “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the Sponsors have committed, on the terms set forth therein and subject to the conditions contained therein, to provide to Parent equity financing, in the amounts set forth therein, in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Equity Financing”). The Equity Commitment Letter has not been amended, modified, terminated or withdrawn and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and the Sponsors, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, enforceable against Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, the Sponsors in accordance with its terms. There are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements relating to the Equity Commitment Letter that would reasonably be expected to affect the timing of the Closing or the availability of the funding in full of the Equity Financing contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter at the Closing.

(c) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is in breach of any of the terms or conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter, and no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach, default or failure by Parent or Merger Sub to satisfy any condition precedent set forth therein. As of the date hereof, there is no fact or occurrence existing that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to (A) make any of the assumptions or any of the statements set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter inaccurate in any material respect, (B) result in any of the conditions in the Equity Commitment Letter not being satisfied, (C) cause the Equity Commitment Letter to be ineffective or (D) otherwise result in the Equity Financing not being available at the Closing in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, no Sponsor has notified Parent or Merger Sub of its intention to terminate the Equity Commitment Letter or not to provide the Equity Financing. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Company and its Subsidiaries in Section 3.6 on the Closing Date, the net proceeds from the Equity Financing and Debt Financing together with cash on hand at the Company will be sufficient to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the payment of the Required Payments. Parent or Merger Sub has paid in full any and all commitment or other fees required by the Equity Commitment Letter that are due as of the date hereof, and will pay, after the date hereof, all such commitments and fees as they become due to the extent such payment is a condition precedent to the availability of the Equity Financing. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Equity Financing or the conditions precedent thereto, other than as explicitly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter (the “Disclosed Equity Conditions”). No Person has any right to impose, and none of the Sponsors, Parent or Merger Sub has any obligation to accept, any condition precedent to such funding other than the Disclosed Equity Conditions nor any reduction to the aggregate amount available under the Equity Commitment Letter on the Closing Date (nor any term or condition

which would have the effect of reducing the aggregate amount available under the Equity Commitment Letter on the Closing Date). As of the date of this Agreement, and assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VI, neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any conditions to the funding of the full amount of the Equity Financing, or that the Equity Financing will not be available to Parent or Merger Sub on the Closing Date.

(d) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent has delivered to the Company (i) a duly executed debt commitment letter, dated as of the date hereof (including all exhibits, schedules and annexes to such letter and as amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or extended from time to time after the date of this Agreement in compliance with Section 5.20(c), the “Debt Commitment Letter”), from the lenders party thereto, including any lenders who become party thereto by joinder (collectively, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to provide the debt amounts set forth therein (the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, together with any permitted Alternative Debt Financing, is collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Debt Financing”) and (ii) the fee letter referred to in the Debt Commitment Letter (with only fee amounts, pricing caps, original issue discount, market flex and other customary economic terms redacted (none of which would adversely affect the amount (other than through the operation of the original issue discount) or availability of the Debt Financing)) (as amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or extended from time to time after the date of this Agreement in compliance with Section 5.20(c), the “Fee Letter”). As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter has not been amended, modified, terminated or withdrawn and is a valid and binding obligation of Parent and Merger Sub and, to the Knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, enforceable against Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditor’s rights, and by general equitable principles). There are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements relating to the Debt Financing that would reasonably be expected to affect the timing of the Closing or the availability of the funding in full of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter at the Closing.

(e) As of the date of this Agreement, neither Parent nor Merger Sub is in breach of any of the terms or conditions set forth in each of the Debt Commitment Letter or Fee Letter with respect to Parent and Merger Sub and, to the Knowledge of Parent with respect to the Financing Sources, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to constitute a breach, default or failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth therein. As of the date hereof, to the Knowledge of Parent, there is no fact or occurrence existing that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to (A) result in any of the conditions in each of the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter not being satisfied, (B) cause the Debt Commitment Letter or Fee Letter to be ineffective, (C) cause any of the Lenders not to perform their respective obligations to fund the Debt Financing under the Debt Commitment Letter or (D) otherwise result in the Debt Financing not being available on a timely basis in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, no Lender has notified Parent or Merger Sub of its intention to terminate the Debt Commitment Letter or not to provide the Debt Financing. Parent or Merger Sub has paid in full any and all commitment or other fees

required by the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter that are due as of the date hereof, and will pay, after the date hereof, all such commitments and fees as they become due to the extent such payment is a condition precedent to the availability of the Debt Financing. There are no conditions precedent to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing, other than as explicitly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and unredacted portions of the Fee Letter (the “Disclosed Debt Conditions”). No Person has any right to impose, and none of Parent or Merger Sub has any obligation to accept, any condition precedent to such funding other than the Disclosed Debt Conditions nor any reduction to the aggregate gross amount under the Debt Commitment Letter on the Closing Date (nor any term or condition which would have the effect of reducing the aggregate gross amount under the Debt Commitment Letter on the Closing Date). As of the date of this Agreement, and assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any conditions to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing, or that the Debt Financing will not be available to Parent or Merger Sub on the Closing Date.

Section 4.7 Solvency. Assuming that the representations and warranties of the Company and its Subsidiaries set forth in Section 3.6, Section 3.11 and Section 3.12 (in each case disregarding references to Company Material Adverse Effect and other materiality qualifiers contained therein) are true and correct in all material respects, on and as of the Effective Time, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Corporation’s Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be Solvent.

Section 4.8 Litigation. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no Legal Action pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened, against Parent or any of its Affiliates before any Governmental Authority that would or seeks to materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates is subject to any Order of, or, to the Knowledge of Parent, continuing investigation by, any Governmental Authority, or any Order of any Governmental Authority that would or seeks to materially delay or prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.9 FCC Consents. Assuming that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 3.3(f) are true and correct, Parent represents that it does not have direct or indirect foreign ownership interests that are required to be reported in the applications for the FCC Consents.

Section 4.10 Absence of Certain Arrangements. As of the date of this Agreement (and, as of the Closing, except with the express consent of the Company or as otherwise arise out of such discussions as may be approved by the Company Board or a duly authorized committee thereof), none of the Sponsors, Parent or Merger Sub nor any of their respective controlled Affiliates has entered into any employment, management, contribution, rollover or similar agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, or made or entered into any other Contract relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, with any of the Company’s directors, officers or employees.

Section 4.11 Brokers. No broker, finder, adviser or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, success, finder’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Subsidiaries.

Section 4.12 Limited Guaranty. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Sponsors have delivered to the Company the duly executed Limited Guaranty. As of the date hereof, the Limited Guaranty is in full force and effect and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Sponsors, enforceable against the Sponsors in accordance with its terms, in each case, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditor’s rights, and by general equitable principles, and no event has occurred which, with or without notice or lapse of time, or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of the Sponsors under the Limited Guaranty.

Section 4.13 No Additional Representations. Each of Parent and Merger Sub is a sophisticated purchaser, possesses such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment under this Agreement. In entering into this Agreement and each of the other documents and instruments relating to the Merger referred to herein, Parent and Merger Sub have each relied solely upon its own investigation and analysis, and Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree (a) that, except for the specific representations and warranties of the Company contained in Article III, if applicable (which to the extent provided for in this Agreement include and are subject to the Company Disclosure Letter and the Company SEC Reports), none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and their respective stockholders, controlling persons, Representatives or any other Person makes or has made any representation or warranty, either express or implied, with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and their business, operations, technology, assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial condition, prospects, projections, budgets, estimates or operational metrics, or as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information (including any statement, document or agreement delivered pursuant to this Agreement and any financial statements and any projections, estimates or other forward-looking information) provided (including in any management presentations, information or descriptive memorandum, certain “data rooms” maintained by the Company, supplemental information or other materials or information with respect to any of the above) or otherwise made available to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders or Representatives and (b) that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, none of the Company, its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, stockholders, Representatives or any other Person shall have any Liability or responsibility whatsoever to Parent or Merger Sub, their Affiliates or their Subsidiaries, stockholders, Representatives or any other Person on any basis (including in contract or tort, under federal or state securities laws or otherwise) based upon any information provided or made available, or statements made (or any omissions therefrom), to Parent, Merger Sub, their respective Affiliates or any of their respective Subsidiaries, stockholders, Representatives or any other Person, except as and only to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement. Each of Parent and Merger Sub, its Affiliates and its Representatives have received and may continue to receive from the Company, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives certain projections,

estimates and other forward-looking information for the business of the Company and its Affiliates and certain plan and budget information. Parent and Merger Sub are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets so furnished to them, their affiliates or their respective Representatives (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets) and acknowledge and agree that each of Parent and Merger Sub is not relying on any estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or budgets made available or otherwise furnished by the Company, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives, and each of Parent and Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and its Representatives not to, hold any such Person liable with respect thereto (whether in warranty, contract, tort (including negligence or strict liability) or otherwise). There are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make projections, estimates or other forward-looking information, and Parent is familiar with such uncertainties.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Solicitation Period End-Date” means 11:59 p.m. (Chicago time) on December 2, 2016.

(b) From and after the Solicitation Period End-Date, except with respect to Excluded Parties, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and instruct its and their respective Representatives to, (A) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any Third Person that may be ongoing with respect to any Alternative Proposal, and (B) request within two (2) Business Days of the Solicitation Period End-Date that each such Third Person promptly return or destroy all confidential information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries. From the Solicitation Period End-Date until the earlier of termination of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except as expressly permitted by Section 5.4(e), the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and instruct its and their respective Representatives not to, (i) solicit,

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may continue to take any of the actions described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, from and after the Solicitation Period End-Date until the earliest of (A) the date on which the Excluded Party has terminated or withdrawn the Alternative Proposal made prior to the Solicitation Period End-Date (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any amended or modified Alternative Proposal submitted by such Excluded Party shall not be deemed to constitute, in and of itself, an expiration, termination or withdrawal of such previously submitted Alternative Proposal) and (B) 11:59 p.m. (Chicago time) on December 13, 2016 (unless such discussions or negotiations are permitted to continue under Section 5.4(c)), with respect to any Person, group of Persons or group that includes any Person (so long as such Person and the other members of such group, if any, who were members of such group immediately prior to the Solicitation Period End-Date constitute at least 50% of the equity financing of such group at all times following the Solicitation Period End-Date and prior to the termination of this Agreement) that made a bona fide Alternative Proposal before the Solicitation Period End-Date and with whom the Company is having ongoing discussions or negotiations as of the Solicitation Period End-Date regarding such bona fide Alternative Proposal (or any amendment or modifications thereto), in each case, that the Company Board determines, prior to the Solicitation Period End-Date, in consultation with its legal and financial advisors, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (all such Persons, together with their Affiliates, equityholders and co-investors, “Excluded Parties”).

(c) Notwithstanding Section 5.4(b), but without limiting the actions permitted by Section 5.4(a) and Section 5.4(b) (including the right to maintain discussions and negotiations with Excluded Parties), following the receipt by the Company of a bona fide written Alternative Proposal after the Solicitation Period End-Date that was not solicited in violation of this Section 5.4 (other than an unintentional and immaterial violation) and prior to the time the Requisite Company Vote is obtained if (A) the Company Board determines, in consultation with its legal and financial advisors, that such Alternative Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) the Company Board determines in good faith, based on the information then available and after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that failing to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company may, in response to such Alternative Proposal, subject to compliance with this Section 5.4, (i) furnish access and information with respect to the Company and any of its Subsidiaries to the Third Person who has made such Alternative Proposal pursuant to one or more Acceptable Confidentiality Agreements (provided that all such written material non-public information has previously been provided or made available to Parent or is provided or made available to Parent promptly after it is provided or made available to such Third Person)

and (ii) participate in discussions and negotiations regarding such Alternative Proposal. From and after the Solicitation Period End-Date (and including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Alternative Proposal received prior to the Solicitation Period End-Date, the foregoing information with respect to such Alternative Proposal and whether the Company Board has designated the Third Person making such Alternative Proposal as an Excluded Party), the Company shall advise Parent of the receipt of any Alternative Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Alternative Proposal (in each case within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof) and specify the material terms and conditions thereof, including the identity of the Third Person making such Alternative Proposal and an unredacted copy of the Alternative Proposal submitted by such Third Person (including any materials relating to such Third Person’s proposed financing sources, if any). The Company shall notify Parent within two (2) Business Days of any material modifications to the financial or other material terms of such Alternative Proposal or inquiry.

(d) Except as set forth in this Section 5.4, the Company Board shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly or resolve to withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify, in any manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation, or (ii) approve, authorize or recommend or otherwise declare advisable, or propose publicly to approve, authorize or recommend or otherwise declare advisable, any Alternative Proposal (each of (i) and (ii), a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (iii) approve, authorize, endorse, recommend or allow, or propose publicly to approve, authorize, endorse, recommend or allow the Company to enter into a letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or other Contract relating to an Alternative Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement).

(e) Notwithstanding Section 5.4(d), the Company Board may, before obtaining the Requisite Company Vote, in response to a bona fide written Alternative Proposal received by the Company Board after the date of this Agreement but before the Requisite Company Vote and determined by the Company Board in good faith, based on the information then available and after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, to be a Superior Proposal, effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change (and if the Company Board so chooses, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4(a) to enter into a definitive written Contract with respect to such Superior Proposal), but only if:

(i) such Superior Proposal, or Alternative Proposal that was a predecessor thereto, did not result, directly or indirectly, from a breach (other than an unintentional and immaterial breach) by the Company of this Section 5.4 and the Company shall have otherwise complied in all material respects with all of its obligations under this Section 5.4 with respect to such Superior Proposal;

(ii) the Company shall have first provided prior written notice to Parent that it is prepared to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive written Contract with respect to a Superior Proposal, as applicable, which notice shall include (A) the identity of the Third Person making such Superior Proposal, (B) the terms and conditions of the transaction that constitutes such Superior Proposal and (C) an unredacted copy of such Superior Proposal (including any materials relating to such Third Person’s proposed financing sources, if any);

(iii) after providing such notice, the Company shall have negotiated, and shall have caused its Representatives to negotiate, with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) during the three (3) Business Day period after delivery of the notice contemplated by clause (ii) above (it being understood that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notification pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) and a new period of negotiation under this clause (iii) of two (2) instead of three (3) Business Days), to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Equity Commitment Letter and the Limited Guaranty as would permit the Company Board to determine that the Alternative Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal;

(iv) the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Equity Commitment Letter and the Limited Guaranty that may be offered in writing by Parent no later than 5:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the last day of such three (3) Business Day or two (2) Business Day period, as applicable, and referred to (without duplication) in clause (iii) above, in a manner that would form a binding contract if accepted by the Company, and shall have determined that the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if such changes were to be given effect; and

(v) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after the conclusion of the negotiations provided for in clause (iii) above and consideration of any changes to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Equity Commitment Letter or the Limited Guaranty offered by Parent pursuant to clause (iv) above, without duplication, and consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that failure to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive written Contract with respect to a Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time before obtaining the Requisite Company Vote, if, following the occurrence of an Intervening Event, the Company Board has concluded in good faith, following consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor that, in light of such Intervening Event, its failure to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Intervening Event, but only if:

(i) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with all of its obligations under this Section 5.4(f) with respect to such Intervening Event;

(ii) the Company shall have first provided prior written notice to Parent, at least three (3) Business Days in advance, of its determination to effect such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances constituting such Intervening Event; provided that in the event of any material changes to the facts and circumstances constituting such Intervening Event, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.4(f) with respect to such new written notice and a new period of two (2) instead of three (3) Business Days;

(iii) after providing such notice, the Company shall have negotiated, and shall have caused its Representatives to negotiate, with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) during such three (3) or two (2) Business Day period, as applicable, and referred to (without duplication) in clauses (ii) and (iv), to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Equity Commitment Letter and the Limited Guaranty as would permit the Company Board to determine that the Intervening Event would not continue to constitute an Intervening Event;

(iv) the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Equity Commitment Letter and the Limited Guaranty that may be offered in writing by Parent no later than 5:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the last day of such three (3) or two (2) Business Day period, as applicable, and referred to (without duplication) in clauses (ii) and (iii), in a manner that would form a binding contract if accepted by the Company, and shall have determined that the Intervening Event would continue to constitute an Intervening Event if such changes were to be given effect; and

(v) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after the conclusion of the negotiations provided for in clause (iii) above, consideration of any changes to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Equity Commitment Letter or the Limited Guaranty offered by Parent pursuant to clause (iv) above, without duplication, and consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that failure to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 5.4 shall prohibit the Company from complying with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder, or making any other disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law or such disclosure is otherwise required or advisable under applicable Law; provided, further, that any disclosure of the type described in this sentence that does not contain an express reaffirmation of the Company Board Recommendation shall be deemed to be a Company Adverse Recommendation Change for purposes of this Agreement.

(h) The Company agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.4 by its Subsidiaries or the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives, including, with respect to such Representatives, a failure to comply with the instructions given to them pursuant to this Section 5.4, (in each case, other than unintentional and immaterial breaches) shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement (including this Section 5.4) by the Company.

(i) The Company may waive or fail to enforce any standstill or similar provision in any confidentiality or other agreement it has entered into with any Person, whether prior to or after the date hereof, in order to permit non-public Alternative Proposals to be made to the Company Board on or prior to the Solicitation Period End-Date and otherwise only, if and to the extent, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Section 5.7 Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) Compensation and Benefits. For a period of not less than one (1) year following the Closing Date (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to, provide to each individual who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, is an employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries and who continues in such capacity following the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) (i) salary, hourly wage rate, short-term (annual or more frequent) bonus or commission opportunity and other compensation (excluding equity and equity-based awards which will remain discretionary) that are no less favorable, in the aggregate and (ii) benefits that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) than those provided by Parent and its Subsidiaries to similarly situated employees of Parent or such Subsidiaries from time to time.

(b) Cash Bonuses. Notwithstanding any permitted amendment, termination or discretion applicable to any Company Benefit Plan that provides for the payment of annual cash bonuses, Parent agrees to, and agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation and each of their respective Subsidiaries to, pay bonuses to each Continuing Employee in respect of calendar year 2016 (“Cash Bonuses”) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Benefit Plan in effect as of the date of this Agreement at target. The Cash Bonuses shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation at the time or times that such Cash Bonuses would normally be paid by the Company, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the Cash Bonus was earned. Each Continuing Employee will be entitled to receive a prorated portion of the target Cash Bonus applicable to such Continuing Employee in the event that such Continuing Employee’s employment is terminated without Cause (as defined in Section 5.7(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter) or such Continuing Employee resigns for Good Reason (as defined in Section 5.7(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter) prior to the date the Cash Bonuses are paid (provided that the provisions of this sentence shall not result in the duplication of bonus payments to such Continuing Employee), such prorated Cash Bonus to be payable promptly following the date of such termination.

(c) Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, during the Continuation Period, (i) honor any severance, change in control and similar agreements, in each case, in effect as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) provide severance to any Continuing Employee who shall be terminated without cause during the Continuation Period in such amounts and on such terms and conditions that are no less favorable than would have been provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time or, if greater, consistent with Parent’s severance program as applied to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries from time to time.

(d) If requested in writing by Parent to the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall adopt written resolutions of its board of directors to terminate, effective no later than the day immediately preceding the date on which the Company becomes a member of the same “Controlled Group of Corporations” (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code) as Parent, any Company Benefit Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code that contains a cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code.

(e) Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor the Company’s retention program providing for the payment of retention bonuses to certain Continuing Employees in connection with the Merger for the purpose of retaining the services of such Continuing Employees, on the terms set forth on Section 5.7(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Retention Program”). Following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and/or Parent shall pay or cause to be paid the retention bonuses pursuant to the Retention Program, to certain Continuing Employees in connection with the Merger for the purpose of retaining the services of such Continuing Employees.

(f) For all purposes under all employee benefit plans of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Continuing Employee after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Continuing Employee shall receive full credit for such Continuing Employee’s years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries before the Effective Time (including predecessor or acquired entities or any other entities for which the Company and its Subsidiaries have given credit for prior service), to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, prior to the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar or comparable Company Benefit Plan (except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of accrual of benefits). In addition, where applicable, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) at the Effective Time, each Continuing Employee immediately shall be eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in each New Plan to the extent such waiting time was satisfied under a similar or comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”); (ii) subject to any required approval of the applicable insurer, which Parent agrees to use or cause the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiaries to use, reasonable best efforts to obtain, Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions or limitations and actively-at-work requirements of each New Plan to be waived or satisfied for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent waived or satisfied under the analogous Old Plan as of the Effective Time; and (iii) Parent shall cause all eligible expenses incurred by each Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(g) With respect to any accrued but unused paid time off to which any Continuing Employee is entitled pursuant to the paid time off policy applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to, allow such Continuing Employee to use such accrued paid time off in a manner and on such terms and conditions that are consistent with Parent’s paid time off policy as applied to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries from time to time from and after the Effective Time.

(h) Nothing in this Section 5.7, whether express or implied, shall (i) constitute an establishment of, amendment to or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan or New Plan, or (ii) confer upon any current or former employee (or the dependents or beneficiaries thereof) of the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their

respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.7, including (A) any right to employment or continued employment, (B) any particular term or condition of employment for any specified period, or (C) any limitation on the right of Parent to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Company Benefit Plan or New Plan.

Section 5.8 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation now existing in favor of any present or former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the fiduciaries of any Company Benefit Plans (the “Indemnified Parties”) as provided in the Company Organizational Documents, in the comparable organizational document of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, or in any Contract between an Indemnified Party and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries in effect on the date of this Agreement and, in the case of such Contracts, listed on Section 5.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, to survive the Merger and to continue in full force and effect (and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect any rights thereunder or hereunder or any Indemnified Party) for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time or, if longer, for such period as is set forth in any applicable agreement with an Indemnified Party in effect on the date of this Agreement.

(b) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify all Indemnified Parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and the Company Organizational Documents (or in the comparable organizational document of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries) with respect to all acts and omissions prior to the Effective Time arising out of or relating to their service as directors, officers or employees of the Company, its Subsidiaries or another Person, if such Indemnified Party is or was serving as a director, officer or employee of such other Person at the request of the Company or Parent, or fiduciaries of the Company Benefit Plans, whether asserted or claimed at or after or occurring before the Effective Time (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). If any Indemnified Party is or becomes involved in any Legal Action in connection with any matter subject to indemnification hereunder, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, advance as incurred any Damages out of or incurred in connection with such Legal Action, subject to Parent’s or the Surviving Corporation’s, as applicable, receipt of an undertaking in customary form by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party to repay such Damages if it is ultimately determined under applicable Law or the Company Organizational Documents (or in the comparable organizational document of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries) that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified. In the event of any such Legal Action, (i) each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Legal Action and (ii) neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Legal Action pending or threatened in writing to which an Indemnified Party is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could reasonably be expected to 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 Legal Action or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing.

(c) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, maintain in effect for at least six (6) years after the Effective Time the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company or policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) so long as Parent and the Surviving Corporation are not required to pay in the aggregate an annual premium in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance before the date of this Agreement (such 300% amount being the “Maximum Premium”). If Parent or the Surviving Corporation are unable to obtain the insurance described in the prior sentence for an amount less than or equal to the Maximum Premium, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, instead obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of the arrangements contemplated by this Section 5.8(c), before the Effective Time, the Company shall be entitled to (and, at Parent’s request, the Company shall) purchase a “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering the matters described in this Section 5.8(c) for an amount not to exceed the Maximum Premium and, if the Company purchases such a policy before the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 5.8(c) shall be satisfied so long as Parent and the Surviving Corporation cause such policy to be maintained in effect for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time.

(d) Parent hereby acknowledges that the Indemnified Parties may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by other Persons. Parent hereby agrees (i) that Parent and the Surviving Corporation are the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., their obligations to the Indemnified Parties are primary and any obligation of such other Persons to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any such Indemnified Party are secondary), (ii) that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by any such Indemnified Party and shall be liable for the full indemnifiable amounts, without regard to any rights any such Indemnified Party may have against any such other Person and (iii) that Parent irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases (and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to irrevocably waive, relinquish and release) such other Persons from any and all claims against any such other Persons for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. Each of Parent and Surviving Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by any of such other Persons on behalf of any such Indemnified Party with respect to any claim for which such Indemnified Party has sought indemnification from the Surviving Corporation shall affect the foregoing and such other Persons shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnified Party against the Surviving Corporation.

(e) The covenants contained in this Section 5.8 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.8, except to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a Governmental Authority with valid jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its 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 substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall take all necessary action so that the successors or assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.8.

Section 5.9 Reasonable Best Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with applicable Law (but subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the limitations set forth in Section 5.10), each of the parties to this Agreement shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, 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, appropriate or advisable to cause the conditions set forth in Article VI to be satisfied and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable. The terms of this Section 5.9 shall not limit the rights of the Company set forth in Section 5.4.

Section 5.10 Consents; Filings; Further Action.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with applicable Law, each of Parent and the Company shall, and each of Parent and the Company shall cause each of its respective HSR Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to promptly: (i) obtain any consents, approvals or other authorizations or waivers from, and make any filings and notifications required by, any Governmental Authority or other Person reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including under any Contract to which Parent or the Company (as reasonably requested by Parent) or any of their respective Subsidiaries (in the case of Subsidiaries of the Company, as reasonably requested by Parent) is a party or by which their respective properties or assets may be bound, (ii) make any other submissions either required or deemed appropriate by either Parent or the Company, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the HSR Act, the DGCL, Communications Laws, rules and regulations of NASDAQ and any other applicable Law, (iii) take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary, appropriate or advisable consistent with this Section 5.10 to (A) cause the expiration of the applicable waiting periods, (B) remove, mitigate or limit any material conditions that may be imposed by the FCC, a State PUC, or any other Governmental Authority on any such authorization, consent, Order, declaration or approval of, or ability to contract with, any Governmental Authority necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (C) obtain receipt of required consents, approvals or authorizations, including the FCC Consents and State PUC Consents, as applicable,

under Communications Laws as soon as practicable, (iv) defend any Legal Actions, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, until the entry of a judgment on the merits in such Legal Action by a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction (whether such judgment is appealable or not) and (v) execute and deliver any additional documents or instruments necessary to consummate the transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Parent and the Company shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all such filings and notifications. Neither Parent nor the Company shall extend any statutory deadline or waiting period or consent to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the behest of any Governmental Authority without the consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement and in any event no later than (i) ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall file any Notification and Report Forms and related material required to be filed by it with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice, as applicable, to request early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall promptly make any further filings pursuant thereto that may be necessary, appropriate or advisable and (ii) ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall make all notifications and other filings required or appropriate under Communications Laws or any other Regulatory Law (including all required or appropriate notifications, registrations, applications and other filings to or with the FCC, foreign regulatory authorities or State PUCs, including those requesting the FCC Consents and State PUC Consents). Parent shall pay the applicable FCC, HSR and State PUC filing fees with respect to all such notices, filings, and applications seeking all applicable FCC Consents and State PUC Consents. In the event that any petition for reconsideration or appeal is filed, the Company and Parent will cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to oppose or contest any such petition or appeal. In the event that the FCC or any State PUC seeks to impose material conditions on the approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and Parent will cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to oppose, mitigate or limit any such material condition. In the event that the FCC or any State PUC issues a decision rescinding any Permit, the parties will cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to seek reconsideration and to appeal such decision. In the event that, notwithstanding the cooperation and reasonable best efforts of the Company and the Parent, the FCC or any State PUC rescinds any Permit by a final order as to which no further reconsideration or appeal is available, the Company and the Parent agree to cooperate to comply with such final order with the plan of action for that compliance to be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Parent.

(c) Each of Parent and the Company shall, and subject to any restrictions under any Law, shall cause its HSR Affiliates to, promptly inform the other party upon receipt of any communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If Parent or the Company (or any of their respective HSR Affiliates) receives a request for information from any Governmental Authority that is related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then such party shall endeavor

in good faith to make, or cause to be made, to the extent practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response to such request. Prior to delivery of such response, to the extent practicable, such party shall provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such response. No party shall participate in any substantive meeting, or engage in any substantive conversation, with any Governmental Authority without giving the other party prior notice of such meeting or conversation and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend or participate. Parent shall advise the Company promptly of any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) which Parent proposes to make or enter into with any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve any objections that may be asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any antitrust, competition or trade regulatory Law as promptly as practicable.

(d) All obligations under this Section 5.10 applicable to Parent shall also apply to Parent’s HSR Affiliates, mutatis mutandis, and Parent shall cause its HSR Affiliates to comply with such obligations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior consent of the other parties, the Company may (a) communicate with customers, vendors, suppliers, financial analysts, investors and media representatives in a manner consistent with its past practice in compliance with applicable Law to the extent such communications are consistent with information included in a press release or other document previously approved for external distribution by Parent and (b) issue public statements or disseminate information to the extent solely related to the operation of the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.14 Takeover Statutes. If any takeover statute is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of Parent, the Company and their respective boards of directors shall use reasonable best efforts (a) to ensure that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and (b) to otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such takeover statute.

Section 5.17 Resignation of Directors. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain and deliver to Parent at the Closing evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent of (i) the resignation of all directors and officers of the Company and (ii) the resignation of such other officers and directors of the Company’s Subsidiaries as Parent shall have requested in writing and delivered to the Company not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, in each case, effective as of the Effective Time.

Section 5.18 Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) the occurrence of any event known to it which would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, (A) in the case of the Company, have a Company Material Adverse Effect, or, in the case of Parent, have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, (B) cause any condition set forth in Article VI to be unsatisfied at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, that the failure to deliver any notice pursuant to this Section 5.18 shall not be considered in determining whether any such condition has been satisfied or (C) cause any authorization, consent, Order, declaration or approval of any Governmental Authority or third party necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to not be obtained by the Outside Date or (ii) any Legal Action pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company or Parent, threatened which questions or challenges the validity of this Agreement or the ability of any party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.18 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice nor shall the party giving such notice be prejudiced with respect to any such matters solely by virtue of having given such notice.

(b) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, subject to applicable Law, the Company shall provide to Parent copies of all material written notices received from any Governmental Authority by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent such material written notice is related to the consents to be obtained pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or Section 6.1(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

Section 5.19 Certain Litigation.

(a) The Company shall control and defend all stockholder litigation against the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the directors or officers of the Company or its Subsidiaries, in each case, arising out of, in connection with, or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger (collectively, the “Shareholder Litigation”); provided, that Parent shall, at its expense, have the right to participate in such proceedings. For purposes of this Section 5.19, “participate” means that Parent will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the Shareholder Litigation by the Company (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected), and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Shareholder Litigation but will not be afforded any decision-making power or other authority over such Shareholder Litigation except for the settlement consent set forth in Section 5.19(b). The Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable notify Parent in writing of, and shall keep Parent updated about all material developments in, any Shareholder Litigation.

(b) The Company shall obtain the prior written consent of Parent before entering into any settlement, understanding or other agreement relating to such Shareholder Litigation.

Section 5.20 Financing.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the Equity Financing at the Closing on the terms and conditions described in the Equity Commitment Letter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to (a) comply with its obligations under the Equity Commitment Letter, (b) maintain in effect the Equity Commitment Letter in accordance with its terms, (c) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent and Merger Sub contained in the Equity Commitment Letter (including definitive agreements related thereto), and (d) if all conditions applicable to Parent and Merger Sub set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter (including definitive agreements related thereto) have been satisfied or waived, and the Debt Financing has been or will be funded in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter on or prior to the Closing Date if the Equity Financing is funded on or prior to the Closing Date, consummate the Equity Financing on or prior to the Closing Date. Parent shall not, without

the prior written consent of the Company, amend, modify, supplement or waive any of the conditions or contingencies to funding contained in the Equity Commitment Letter (including any Contracts related thereto) or any other provision of, or remedies under, the Equity Commitment Letter (including any Contracts related thereto) that would reasonably be expected to materially impair or delay or prevent the funding of the Equity Financing. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall, directly or indirectly, make all proceeds of the Equity Financing received by Parent available to Merger Sub as are required for Merger Sub to perform its obligations hereunder.

(b) Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter in accordance with their terms, (ii) negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (the “Definitive Debt Agreements”) consistent with the terms and conditions contained therein (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in the Fee Letter) or on such other terms acceptable to Parent and the Financing Sources, so long as such other terms would not reasonably be expected to materially impair or delay or prevent the ability of Parent to consummate the Merger or the Debt Financing and (iii) satisfy (or, if deemed advisable by Parent, obtain the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions precedent set forth in Exhibit D to the Debt Commitment Letter that are within its control. Parent shall not, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates not to, take or refrain from taking, directly or indirectly, any action that would reasonably be expected to result in a failure of any of the conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter.

(c) Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, permit any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision (including any remedy) under, or voluntarily replace (it being understood that any Alternative Debt Financing will not be deemed a voluntary replacement for purposes of the sentence), the Debt Commitment Letter if such amendment, modification, or waiver or voluntary replacement (i) adds new (or adversely modifies any existing) conditions to the consummation of the Debt Financing (giving effect to any flex provisions) as compared to those in the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement, (ii) reduces the aggregate gross amount of the Debt Financing unless the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount or (iii) would otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impede or delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt no consent from the Company will be required for: (A) any amendment, replacement, supplement or modification of the Debt Commitment Letter that is limited to adding lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement (including in replacement of a Lender), (B) implementation or exercise of any “flex” provisions provided in the Fee Letter as in effect as of the date hereof or (C) any amendment, replacement, supplement or modification to the Debt Commitment Letter or Definitive Debt Agreements so long as such action would not be prohibited by the foregoing clauses (i)-(iv).

(d) In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor, Parent shall (1) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative debt financing (the “Alternative Debt Financing”) on terms not less favorable in the aggregate to Parent (as reasonably determined by Parent) than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (taking into account any “flex” provisions) from the same or other sources reasonably acceptable to Parent and which do not include any incremental conditionality to the consummation of such Alternative Debt Financing that are more onerous to Parent or the Company (in the aggregate) than the Disclosed Debt Conditions and (2) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor.

(e) For purposes of this Section 5.20, (i) the term “Debt Commitment Letter” will be deemed to include any commitment letter (or similar agreement) with respect to any Alternative Debt Financing arranged in compliance herewith (and any Debt Commitment Letters remaining in effect at the time in question), (ii) the term “Fee Letter” will be deemed to include any fee letter (or similar agreement) and engagement letter (or similar agreement) with respect to any alternative debt financing arranged in compliance with this Section 5.20, and (iii) the term “Lenders” will be deemed to include any lenders providing the Alternative Debt Financing arranged in compliance herewith. Parent shall, (A) keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis in respect of its efforts to consummate the Debt Financing and (B) in addition to the delivery of the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter, provide the Company with copies of other material Definitive Debt Agreements. Parent will provide the Company with prompt (and in any event within two (2) Business Days of obtaining knowledge thereof) written notice of any breach or default by any party to any Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Debt Agreements of which Parent gains knowledge and the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Lender or other Financing Source with respect to any breach or default or, termination or repudiation by any party to any Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Debt Agreements or any provision thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent will, directly or indirectly, make all proceeds of the Debt Financing received by Parent available to Merger Sub as are required for Merger Sub to perform its obligations hereunder.

Section 5.21 Financing Cooperation.

(a) Prior to Effective Time, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, and will use reasonable best efforts to cause the Representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries to, provide to Parent, at Parent’s expense, such cooperation as may be reasonably and customarily requested by Parent in connection with obtaining the Debt Financing no later than the Closing Date, which reasonable best efforts shall include, but not be limited to:

(ii) furnishing to Parent the Financing Information and assisting Parent with Parent’s preparation of pro forma and projected financial information; provided, the Company shall not be responsible for the preparation of such pro forma and/or projected financial information which shall be prepared solely by the Parent and the Company shall have no liability with respect to such information prepared by the Parent;

(iii) assisting Parent in obtaining corporate and facilities ratings in connection with the Debt Financing required by Section 3(d) of the Debt Commitment Letter; provided that any meetings, presentations, conference calls or other required activities in connection therewith shall be scheduled for times and at location’s to be mutually agreed;

(vii) taking all corporate actions, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, reasonably requested by Parent to permit the consummation of the Debt Financing; provided that none of the boards of directors (or equivalent bodies) of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be required to enter into any resolutions or take similar action approving the Debt Financing until the Closing has occurred.

(b) The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to Parent:

(i) if any Indebtedness remains outstanding as of the Closing, a customary payoff letter with respect to such Indebtedness, from each holder of such outstanding Indebtedness (A) indicating the amount required to discharge such Indebtedness at Closing and/or releasing the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries thereunder, and (B) if such Indebtedness is secured by any liens, agreeing to release such liens upon receipt of the payoff amount; and

(ii) Customary KYC Information at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date to the extent such information was requested in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to closing in accordance with the definition of Customary KYC Information.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.21 to the contrary, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to (i) prior to the Effective Time, bear any out-of-pocket cost or expense that is not reimbursed pursuant to this Section 5.21 or pay any fee in connection with the Debt Financing, or (ii) enter into any agreement or commitment that would be effective prior to the Effective Time. Furthermore, Parent will, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives, in connection with their respective obligations pursuant to this Section 5.21. Parent will, prior to the Effective Time, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Liabilities and Damages suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the Debt Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith. The Company hereby consents to the use of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ names and logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided, that such names and logos are used solely in the matter that is not intended, or reasonably likely, to harm or disparage the Company or its Subsidiaries or the reputation or the goodwill of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

Section 8.16 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties to this Agreement agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

This right to injunctive relief and specific performance is in addition to any other remedy to which the parties to this Agreement are entitled at law or in equity.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that the right of the Company to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedy in connection with enforcing Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded under the Equity Commitment Letter, or consummate the Merger (but not the right of the Company to injunctions, specific performance or other equitable remedies for obligations other than with respect to the Equity Financing or the consummation of the Merger) shall be subject to the requirements that (i) all conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at Closing and which were, at the time of termination, capable of being satisfied), (ii) the Debt Financing has been funded in accordance with the terms thereof or will be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at or before the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at or before the Closing and (iii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed to Parent in writing that if specific performance is granted and the Debt Financing and the Equity Financing are funded, then it is prepared to consummate the Merger.

Section 8.17 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, as if the signatures to each counterpart were upon a single instrument, and all such counterparts together shall be deemed an original of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when, and only when, each party hereto shall have received a counterpart signed by all of the other parties hereto. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .peg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original

executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any such other document, will be disregarded in determining the party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature. At the request of any party hereto, each other party hereto shall re-execute the original form of this Agreement and deliver such form to all other parties. No party hereto shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

Section 8.18 Company Disclosure Letter. The inclusion of information in the Company Disclosure Letter will not be construed as or constitute an admission or agreement that a violation, right of termination, default, liability or other obligation of any kind exists with respect to any item, nor will it be construed as or constitute an admission or agreement that such information is material to the Company. In addition, matters reflected in the Company Disclosure Letter are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Company Disclosure Letter (including the listing of items on any Company Disclosure Letter although such items may not necessarily be required to be included in such Company Disclosure Letter because of the dollar thresholds set forth in this Agreement). Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Neither the specifications of any dollar amount in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Company Disclosure Letter is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Person will use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Company Disclosure Letter is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Further, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Company Disclosure Letter is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and no Person will use the fact of setting forth or the inclusion of any such items or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Company Disclosure Letter is or is not in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 8.19 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against the named parties. All Legal Actions and Damages (whether in contract, tort, equity, law or granted by statute whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to (a) this Agreement or any of the other agreements or documents contemplated hereby, (b) the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any of the documents contemplated hereby (including any representation or warranty made in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement or any of the other agreements or documents contemplated hereby), (c) any breach or violation of this Agreement (including the failure of any representation and warranty to be true or accurate) or any of the

INTELIQUENT, INC.

(a Delaware corporation)

The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, in the county of Kent. The name of its registered agent at such address is National Registered Agents, Inc.

ARTICLE III.

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) as it now exists or may hereafter be amended and supplemented.

ARTICLE IV.

The total number of shares of all classes of stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is one thousand (1,000) shares, all of which shall be common stock with a par value of one tenth of one cent ($0.001).

ARTICLE V.

From time to time any of the provisions of this certificate of incorporation may be amended, altered or repealed, and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted in the manner and at the time prescribed by said laws, and all rights at any time conferred upon the stockholders of the Corporation by this certificate of incorporation are granted subject to the provisions of this Article V.

ARTICLE VI.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the rights, powers, privileges and discretionary authority granted or conferred by the DGCL or other statutes or laws of the State of Delaware, the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation, without any action on the part of the stockholders, but the stockholders may make additional bylaws and may alter, amend or repeal any bylaw whether adopted by them or otherwise. The Corporation may in its bylaws confer powers upon its Board of Directors in addition to the foregoing and in addition to the powers and authorities expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors by applicable law.

ARTICLE VII.

Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

ARTICLE VIII.

To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as it now 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 limitation of liability to its directors than permitted prior thereto), no director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty owed to the Corporation or its stockholders. Any repeal or modification of this Article VIII shall not in any way diminish any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE IX.

(A) Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent of the Corporation or as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, administrator, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan or any trust associated therewith (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 DGCL, 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 permitted prior thereto), against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys’ fees and related disbursements, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time (“ERISA”), penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in Section B of this Article IX 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 of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section A of Article IX shall be a contract right and shall include the obligation of the Corporation to pay the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “advance of expenses”); provided, however, that advancement of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (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 (a “final adjudication”) that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section A of Article IX or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of the Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same or lesser scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

(B) Procedure for Indemnification. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation or advance of expenses (including attorneys’ fees, costs and charges) under Section A of this Article IX shall be made promptly, and in any event within forty-five (45) days (or, in the case of an advance of expenses, twenty (20) days, provided that the director or officer has delivered the undertaking contemplated by Section A of this Article IX), upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the Corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX is required, and the Corporation fails to respond within sixty (60) days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnification or an advance of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within forty-five (45) days (or, in the case of an advance of

expenses, twenty (20) days, provided that the director or officer has delivered the undertaking contemplated by Section A of this Article IX), the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article IX shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for advancement of expenses where the undertaking required pursuant to Section A of this Article IX, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The procedure for indemnification of other employees and agents for whom indemnification is provided pursuant to Section A of this Article IX shall be the same procedure set forth in this Section B of Article IX for directors or officers, unless otherwise set forth in the action of the Board of Directors providing indemnification for such employee or agent.

(C) Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any expense, liability or loss asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

(D) Service for Subsidiaries. Any person serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other enterprise, at least fifty percent (50%) of whose equity interests are owned by the Corporation (a “subsidiary” for purposes of this Article IX) shall be conclusively presumed to be serving in such capacity at the request of the Corporation.

(E) Reliance. Persons who after the date of the adoption of this provision become or remain directors or officers of the Corporation or who, while a director or officer of the Corporation, become or remain a director, officer, employee or agent of a subsidiary, shall be conclusively presumed to have relied on the rights to indemnity, advance of expenses and other rights contained in this Article IX in entering into or continuing such service. The rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses conferred in this Article IX shall apply to claims made against an Indemnitee arising out of acts or omissions which occurred or occur both prior and subsequent to the adoption hereof.

(F) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses conferred in this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or under any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

(G) Merger or Consolidation.. For the purposes of this Article IX, references to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting Corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such

constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under this Article IX, with respect to the resulting or surviving Corporation, as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(H) Savings Clause. If this Article IX or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each person entitled to indemnification under Section A of this Article IX as to all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees and related disbursements, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person and for which indemnification is available to such person pursuant to this Article IX to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article IX that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
