ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

THIS ACQUISITION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 18, 2015 by and among Seagate HDD Cayman, an exempted company with limited liability organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Parent”), Denali Acquisition Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Dot Hill Systems Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). All capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in Annex A.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Parent desires to acquire the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

WHEREAS, in order to effect the foregoing acquisition, Parent and the Company have agreed that Merger Sub shall commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding Company Shares at a price of $9.75 per Company Share, net to the holder thereof in cash, without interest (such amount, or any higher amount per Company Share that may be paid pursuant to the Offer, being hereinafter referred to as the “Offer Price”), all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

WHEREAS, in order to complete the foregoing acquisition, following the completion of the Offer, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, each Company Share (other than Canceled Company Shares or Dissenting Company Shares) that is then outstanding will thereupon be cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Offer Price, and the Company will survive the foregoing merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

WHEREAS, Parent and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Merger will be governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL and will be effected as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

WHEREAS, each of the respective Boards of Directors of Parent and Merger Sub has approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously (i) determined that this Agreement is advisable, (ii) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, taken together, are at a price and on terms that are fair to, and in the best interests of the Company and the Company Stockholders (iii) approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, (iv) agreed that the Merger shall be governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL, and (v) resolved to recommend that the Company Stockholders tender their shares to Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

-1-

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as a condition and inducement to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company, in their respective capacities as stockholders of the Company, are entering into Support Agreements with Parent (each, a “Support Agreement” and collectively, the “Support Agreements”) pursuant to which the signatories thereto are agreeing to tender their Company Shares into the Offer and to take (and refrain from taking) certain other actions in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree as follows:

(b) Offer Conditions. Subject to the rights and obligations of Merger Sub to extend and/or amend the Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall not be required to (and Parent shall not be required to cause Merger Sub to) accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC (including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act), pay for any tendered Company Shares, and Merger Sub may (and Parent may cause Merger Sub to) delay the acceptance for payment of or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC (including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act) the payment for, any Company Shares that are validly tendered in the Offer (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer, in the event that:

(i) at the scheduled expiration of the Offer, there shall not have been validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Offer (after giving effect to any withdrawals of previously tendered Company Shares) a number of Company Shares that, taken together with any Company Shares then owned by Parent and Merger Sub, represent a majority of all then outstanding Company

-2-

(iii) the Company shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement to be complied with or performed prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer, or the Company shall have failed to perform its obligations under Section 6.15 in any respect; or

(iv) (A) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(a) (Organization and Good Standing), Section 3.2 (Authorization and Enforceability), Section 3.11(a) (Absence of Certain Changes – Company Material Adverse Effect) and Section 3.29 (Brokers) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), shall not have been true and correct as of the date of this Agreement or shall not be true and correct as of immediately prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such time (other than any such representation or warranty that is made only as of a specified date, which need only to be true and correct as of such specified date); (B) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.5 (Capitalization) (the “Capitalization Representation”) shall not have been true and correct as of the date of this Agreement or shall not be true and correct as of immediately prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such time (other than any such representation or warranty that is made only as of a specified date, which need only to be true and correct as of such specified date), except where the failure to be true and correct would not reasonably be expected to result in additional cost, expense or liability to the Company, Parent and their Affiliates, individually or in the aggregate, of more than $1,000,000; or (C) any of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement (other than the Fundamental Representations or the Capitalization Representation), disregarding any “materiality,” “Company Material Adverse Effect” or other similar qualifications set forth in all such representations or warranties, shall not have been true and

-3-

correct as of the date of this Agreement or shall not be true and correct as of immediately prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such time (other than any such representation or warranty that is made only as of a specified date, which need only to be true and correct as of such specified date), except in the case of this clause (C), to the extent that the facts and circumstances causing or resulting in any such representations and warranties not to be true and correct as of the date hereof, as of immediately prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer or as of the specified date in the representation or warranty have not had and would not reasonably be expected have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect; or

(v) any Company Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred or exist on or prior to, and shall be continuing on the date of, the scheduled expiration of the Offer (whether or not events or circumstances occurring prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement caused or contributed to the occurrence of such Company Material Adverse Effect); or

(vi) the Company shall not have delivered to Parent and Merger Sub a certificate dated as of the Expiration Date signed on its behalf by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company to the effect that the conditions set forth in clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of this Section 1.1(b) have been satisfied; or

(vii) any Governmental Authority shall have (A) enacted, issued, promulgated, entered, enforced or deemed applicable to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer or the Merger) any applicable Law that has the effect of making the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger) illegal or prohibiting or otherwise preventing the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger), or (B) issued or granted any Order that remains in effect and has the effect of making any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger) illegal or which has the effect of prohibiting or otherwise preventing the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger); or

(viii) there shall be pending any Legal Proceeding brought by any Governmental Authority against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (A) seeking to enjoin the acquisition by Merger Sub (or Parent on Merger Sub’s behalf) of any Company Shares pursuant to the Offer or, seeking to restrain or prohibit the making or consummation of the Offer or the Merger or the performance of any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Support Agreements (including the voting provisions thereunder), (B) seeking to impose limitations on the ability of Merger Sub (or Parent on Merger Sub’s behalf), or render Merger Sub (or Parent on Merger Sub’s behalf) unable, to (1) accept for payment, pay for or purchase some or all of the

-4-

Company Shares pursuant to the Offer and the Merger or (2) exercise full rights of ownership of the Company Shares, including the right to vote the Company Shares purchased by it on all matters properly presented to the Company Stockholders, (C) seeking to (1) compel Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to sell, license, assign, transfer, divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any assets, business or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (2) compel Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change the assets, business or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries in any manner, or (3) impose any restriction, requirement or limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (D) which otherwise would be reasonably expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect (other than of the type described in clause (x) of the definition of “Company Material Adverse Effect”); or

(ix) this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms

(the conditions set forth in the preceding clauses (i) – (ix), inclusive, of this Section 1.1(b) being referred to herein, collectively, as the “Offer Conditions”).

(i) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub may waive the Minimum Condition without the prior written consent of the Company.

(ii) Other than the Minimum Condition, the Offer Conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Merger Sub and, accordingly, Parent and Merger Sub may waive any such Offer Conditions, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to the expiration of the Offer, in their sole and absolute discretion. The failure by Parent and Merger Sub at any time to exercise the foregoing right to waive any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition) shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

(d) Amendment of Offer Terms and Conditions.

(i) Parent and Merger Sub may, and hereby expressly reserve the right to, increase the Offer Price or otherwise amend, modify or make changes to the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that unless otherwise provided by this Agreement or previously approved by the Company in writing, neither Parent nor Merger Sub may make any change to the terms and conditions of the Offer that:

(A) decreases the Offer Price;

-5-

(B) changes the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer;

(D) waives, amends, modifies or otherwise changes the Minimum Condition;

(E) amends, modifies or otherwise changes any Offer Conditions (other than the Minimum Condition) in a manner that adversely impacts or reasonably could adversely impact the Company Stockholders in any material respect;

(F) imposes conditions to the Offer that are in addition to the Offer Conditions set forth in Section 1.1(b);

(G) extends or otherwise changes the Expiration Date in a manner other than as required or permitted by this Agreement; or

(H) provides any “subsequent offering period” within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(ii) The Offer Price shall be automatically adjusted to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Shares), cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Shares occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to Merger Sub’s acceptance for payment of, and payment for, Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer.

(e) Expiration and Extension of Offer. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the Offer, the Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on the twenty-first (21st) Business Day following the date the Offer is first commenced, determined in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company) (the “Initial Expiration Date,” and such date or such subsequent date to which the expiration of the Offer is extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in no event will the Offer be scheduled to expire prior to 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on October 6, 2015, and provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement:

(iii) in the event that the condition set forth in Section 1.1(b)(iv) or Section 1.1(b)(v) is not satisfied or waived as of any scheduled Expiration Date as a result of the occurrence of a Company Material Adverse Effect of the type described in clause (x)(1), (x)(2) or (x)(3) of the definition of a “Company Material Adverse Effect,” Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) extend the Offer for successive extension periods of ten (10) Business Days each in order to enable the Company to seek to satisfy the foregoing conditions;

(iv) in the event that any of the Offer Conditions is not satisfied or waived as of any scheduled Expiration Date, Merger Sub may (but shall not be required to) extend the Offer for one or more successive extension periods of up to ten (10) Business Days each in order to seek to satisfy the Offer Conditions; and

(v) in the event that each Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition) shall have been satisfied or waived as of any scheduled Expiration Date but the Minimum Condition shall not have been satisfied as of such scheduled Expiration Date, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) extend the Offer for one extension period of ten (10) Business Days in order to seek to satisfy the Minimum Condition.

provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (i) - (v) of this Section 1.1(e), inclusive, in no event shall Merger Sub be required to (or permitted to, without the prior written consent of the Company) extend the Offer beyond the First Termination Date or the Extended Termination Date, as applicable; and provided further, that the foregoing clauses (i) - (v) of this Section 1.1(e), inclusive, shall not be deemed to impair, limit or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of Parent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Article VII; and provided, further, that Merger Sub shall not withdraw or terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Date without the prior written consent of the Company except in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms of Article VII.

(f) Payment for Company Shares; Depositary Agent. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the Offer, promptly after the expiration of the Offer (but on the same date as such expiration), Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) accept for payment (such time of the acceptance, the “Acceptance Time”) and promptly after the Expiration Date pay for all Company Shares that are validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer. The Offer Price payable in respect of each Company Share that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid without interest, net to the holder thereof in cash, and subject to reduction for any applicable U.S. federal withholding, back-up withholding or other applicable Tax withholdings. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VII, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) promptly (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24)

-7-

hours of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer, and Merger Sub shall not acquire any Company Shares pursuant to the Offer. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub, Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered Company Shares to the registered holders thereof. Prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the depositary agent for the Offer (the “Depositary Agent”).

Subject to the terms of this Section 1.2(b), the Company Board shall (A) unanimously recommend that the Company Stockholders accept the Offer and tender their Company Shares to Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer (the “Company Board Recommendation”) and (B) include the Company Board Recommendation (with respect to the Offer) in the Schedule 14D-9 and (C) permit Parent and Merger Sub to include a description of the Company Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that the Company Board Recommendation is not withheld, withdrawn, amended or modified in accordance with this Section 1.2(b).

For avoidance of doubt, a termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(h) shall not constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change, and any Company Board Recommendation Change effected simultaneously with such termination shall not require a separate notice period under Section 1.2(b)(iii) below.

-10-

(iii) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 1.2(b)(ii), the Company Board may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, if (A) the Company Board has received an unsolicited, bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal and after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized standing and outside legal counsel, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, (B) such Acquisition Proposal did not arise out of a breach of the provisions of this Section 1.2(b) or Section 6.1, (C) the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and after considering in good faith any proposal made by Parent pursuant to clause (E) below), that, in light of the foregoing Superior Proposal, the Company Board is reasonably required to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Delaware Law, (D) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company Board shall have given Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice thereof (a “Determination Notice”) (which Determination Notice shall not constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change), which Determination Notice shall attach such Superior Proposal and all Contracts and other written materials provided by the Person making such Superior Proposal (including any definitive agreements and financing commitment letters relating thereto), and the opportunity to meet (which may be telephonic) with the Company Board (or its designees) and its outside legal counsel during such five-Business Day period, with the purpose and intent of enabling Parent and the Company to discuss in good faith a modification of the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of the foregoing Determination Notice is no longer a Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that in the event of any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of a previously delivered Determination Notice, the Company Board shall not be permitted to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, as so amended, unless and until the Company shall have given Parent another Determination Notice based on such Acquisition Proposal, as so amended, at least three (3) Business Days prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change on the basis of such Acquisition Proposal, as so amended, and the opportunity to meet (which may be telephonic) with the Company Board (or its designees) and its outside legal counsel during such three-Business Day period), and (E) Parent shall not have made, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Determination Notice referenced in the preceding clause (D) (or within three (3) Business Days in the event of a material amendment to the Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of a previously delivered Determination Notice), a proposal for a transaction on the basis of which the Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of the Determination Notice referenced in the preceding clause (D) no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal relative to any transaction proposed by Parent and; (F) after the expiration of the five-Business Day period referenced in the preceding clauses (D) and (E) (or the three-Business Day period in the event of a material

-11-

amendment to the Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of a previously delivered Determination Notice) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that it is still reasonably required to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in respect of the Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of the Determination Notice referenced in the preceding clause (D) in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Delaware Law after considering in good faith any proposals made by Parent during the five-Business Day period referenced in the preceding clauses (D) and (E) (or the three-Business Day period in the event of a material amendment to the amendment to the Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of a previously delivered Determination Notice). The Company shall keep confidential any such proposals made by Parent to revise the terms of this Agreement, whether pursuant to this Section 1.2(b), Section 7.1(h) or otherwise, other than in the event of any amendment to this Agreement and to the extent required to be disclosed in any SEC Reports.

(iv) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 1.2(b)(ii), the Company Board may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change at any time prior to the Acceptance Time in response to an Intervening Event if (A) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that, in light of such Intervening Event, the Company Board is reasonably required to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Delaware Law, (B) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company Board shall have given Parent a Determination Notice at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice thereof, which Determination Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the facts underlying the Company Board’s determination that an Intervening Event has occurred and the rationale and basis for such Company Board Recommendation Change and the opportunity to meet (which may be telephonic) with the Company Board (or its designees) and its outside legal counsel, with the purpose and intent of enabling Parent and the Company to discuss in good faith a modification of the terms and conditions of this Agreement so as to obviate the need to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change on the basis of such Intervening Event so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be effected, and (C) following the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) and after giving good faith consideration to any offer or proposal from Parent, that, in light of such Intervening Event, the Company Board is reasonably required to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Delaware Law.

(v) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board from taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or making any

-12-

“stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 14d9-(f), provided, however, that any statement(s) made by the Company Board pursuant to Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act shall be deemed to be a Company Board Recommendation Change unless accompanied by a clear, unqualified and unconditional reaffirmation of the Company Board Recommendation.

(c) Company Information. In connection with the Offer, the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, promptly furnish Parent with such information, including a list of the Company Stockholders as of the most recent practicable date, mailing labels and any available listing or computer files containing the names and addresses of all record and non-objecting beneficial Company Stockholders as of the most recent practicable date, and lists of security positions of Company Shares held in stock depositories (including updated lists of stockholders, mailing labels, listings or files of securities positions as requested by Parent from time to time), and with such assistance as Parent, Merger Sub or their respective agents may reasonably request, in order to mail, disseminate and otherwise communicate the Offer to the record and non-objecting beneficial Company Stockholders. Subject to any and all applicable Laws, and, except for such steps as are necessary to mail and disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents required to consummate the Merger, Parent and Merger Sub and their agents shall (i) hold in confidence the information contained in any such lists of stockholders, mailing labels and listings or files of securities positions, (ii) use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger, and (iii) if Parent and Merger Sub shall withdraw the Offer or the Offer shall otherwise expire or terminate in accordance with the terms hereof without Merger Sub (or Parent on Merger Sub’s behalf) having accepted for payment any Company Shares pursuant to the Offer, and/or this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Article VII, Parent and Merger Sub shall either, in Parent’s sole discretion, (A) destroy any and all copies and any extracts or summaries from such information then in their possession or control (and if requested by the Company, certify in writing to such destruction) or (B) deliver (and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause their agents to deliver) to the Company, any and all copies and any extracts or summaries from such information then in their possession or control.

(d) Rights of First Refusal. Solely in connection with, and subject to (i) the consummation of the tender and purchase of Company Shares pursuant to the Offer and (ii) the consummation of the Merger, the Company hereby waives any and all rights of first refusal it may have with respect to Company Shares owned by, or issuable to, any Person, other than rights to repurchase unvested shares, if any, that may be held by Persons pursuant to the grant of restricted stock purchase rights or following exercise of employee stock options.

(i) Certificate of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read identically to the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and such amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation shall become the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law and such Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Dot Hill Systems Corp.”

Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Company Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Company Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such Company Shares in the manner provided in Section 2.6.

(B) The Company shall give Parent (1) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company in respect of Dissenting Company Shares and (2) the opportunity and right (at Parent’s election) to direct and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Delaware Law in respect of Dissenting Company Shares.

2.6 Payment of Merger Consideration.

(a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent”).

(b) Exchange Fund. On or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) the aggregate Merger Consideration with the Payment Agent, for payment to the Company Stockholders pursuant to the provisions of this Article II (such cash amount being referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund”).

(c) Payment Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter), Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) or non-certificated Company Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”), which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares (other than Canceled Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Payment Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Upon (i) surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Payment Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of the transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a transfer of Book-Entry Shares, the holders of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and the Certificates so surrendered or Book-Entry Shares so transferred shall forthwith be canceled. The Payment Agent shall accept such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of such Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Section 2.6. Until so surrendered or transferred, outstanding Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(d) Transfers of Ownership. In the event that a transfer of ownership of Company Shares is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if Merger Consideration is to be paid in a name other than that in which the surrendered Certificate or transferred Book-Entry Shares are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or transferred Book-Entry Shares are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Certificate is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer or such Book-Entry Shares are properly transferred and the Person requesting such payment has paid to Parent (or any agent designated

-18-

by Parent) any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, or established to the satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such transfer or other Taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Article II; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(f) Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Merger Sub, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Law. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of Company Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(h) Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent.

The Company has the requisite power and authority to carry on its respective business as it is presently being conducted and to own, lease or operate its respective properties and assets. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned or leased or the nature of its activities make such qualification necessary (to the extent the “good standing” concept is applicable in the case of any jurisdiction outside the United States), except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has delivered or made available to Parent true, correct and complete copies of the certificates of incorporation and bylaws, as amended to date, of the Company. The Company is not in violation of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, except for such violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, (i) be or reasonably be expected to be, material to business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken together as a whole, or (ii) reasonably be expected to materially impede the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger) in accordance with the terms hereof and applicable Law.

If any party hereto or Affiliate thereof receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger), then such party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. Neither Parent nor the Company shall commit or agree (or permit their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to commit or agree) with any Governmental Authority to stay, toll, restart or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or other applicable Antitrust Laws, without the prior written consent of the other (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Subsidiaries shall be required to, and the Company may not, without the prior written consent of Parent, become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order to (A) sell, license, assign, transfer, divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any assets, business or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (B) conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change the assets, business or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries in any manner, or (C) impose any restriction, requirement or limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that, if requested by Parent, the Company will become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order so long as such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order is only binding on the Company in the event the Closing occurs or (ii) file or defend any lawsuit or Legal Proceeding, appeal any judgment or Order or contest any injunction issued in a Legal Proceeding initiated by a Governmental Authority.

6.4 Anti-Takeover Statutes.

-64-

properties, books and records and personnel of the Company to enable Parent to obtain all information concerning the Leased Real Property (including any inspections, evaluations, surveys or tests which Parent may deem necessary or appropriate), the Assets and the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including the status of product development efforts, properties, results of operations and personnel of the Company, as Parent may reasonably request; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted at Parent’s expense, at a reasonable time, under the supervision of appropriate personnel of the Company and in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of the business of the Company. Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose any information to Parent if such disclosure would, in Company’s reasonable discretion (i) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege (so long as the Company has reasonably cooperated with Parent to permit such inspection of or to disclose such information on a basis that does not waive such privilege with respect thereto) or (ii) contravene any applicable Law; provided, however, that information shall be disclosed subject to execution of a joint defense agreement in customary form, and disclosure may be limited to external counsel for Parent, to the extent doing so may be reasonably required for the purpose of complying with applicable Antitrust Laws; and provided, further, that the parties will cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to find a way to allow diligence of such information in a manner that would not cause the results in clauses (i) or (ii); and provided, further, that no information or knowledge obtained by Parent in any investigation conducted pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive (i) any right or claim of Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to any representation or warranty of the Company or a Subsidiary set forth herein, or (ii) any condition to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, or the remedies available to the parties hereunder; and provided further, that the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information provided to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.5.

6.6 Notification Obligations.

(a) At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII and the Effective Time, the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent (i) upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, (ii) upon receiving any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) upon receiving any notice or other communication that any Legal Proceedings have commenced, or to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, that are related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth herein or the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby,

6.8 Treatment of Company Options and Company Warrant.

(a) Company Options.

(i) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Ultimate Parent, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any other parties, each Company Option that is then outstanding, unvested and held by a Continuing Service Provider (a “Continuing Option”) shall be assumed by Ultimate Parent. Each Continuing Option assumed by Ultimate Parent shall continue to have, and be subject to the same terms and conditions of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the vesting restrictions, except for administrative changes that are not adverse to the holder of the Continuing Option or to which the holder consents and except that: (x) each Continuing Option shall be exercisable for a number of shares of common stock of Ultimate Parent (“Ultimate Parent Common Stock”) equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the Continuing Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by a quotient obtained by dividing (I) the Merger Consideration by (II) the average closing price of Ultimate Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market for the five trading days immediately preceding (but not including) the Effective Time (the “Exchange Ratio”), rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Ultimate Parent Common Stock; and (y) the per share exercise price for the Ultimate Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Continuing Option shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the per share exercise price for such Continuing Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; and (z) all references to the “Company” in the applicable Company Stock Plans and the applicable Company Option agreements shall be references to Ultimate Parent. It is the intention of the parties that each Company Option so assumed by Ultimate Parent shall qualify following the Effective Time as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code and to the extent such Company Stock Option qualified as an incentive stock option prior to the Effective Time, and comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities hereunder will be resolved in a manner to maintain such exemption from or compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

(ii) By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Ultimate Parent, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any other parties, each Company Option that is outstanding and vested by its terms (after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting that occurs at or prior to the Effective Time as a result of the consummation of the Merger) and each outstanding and unvested Company Option that is not a Continuing Option (each, a “Terminating Option”) shall be cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time and shall be converted

-67-

automatically into the right to receive, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time (but not later than thirty 30 days after the Effective Time, an amount in cash determined by multiplying (x) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price of such option by (y) the number of Company Shares subject to each Terminating Option, less all applicable deductions and withholdings required by applicable Law to be withheld in respect of such payment. Each Terminating Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time that has an exercise price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time without consideration therefor and the holder of such Terminating Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall satisfy all notification requirements under the terms of the Company Warrant to the extent the Company Warrant is outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time.

(c) No later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, net of any withholding Taxes required to be deducted and withheld by applicable Laws in accordance with Section 2.6(f), payable with respect to Terminating Options that are not tendered in the Offer.

(d) Company Action. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take or cause to be taken any and all actions necessary to give effect to the treatment of the Company Options pursuant to this Section 6.8. As promptly as practicable (and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days) following the date hereof, the Company shall deliver a written notice to the holders of Company Options, setting forth the treatment in this Section 6.8 and providing that Company Options shall be exercisable until no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time. Any materials to be submitted to the holders of Company Options in connection with the written notice required under this Section 6.8 shall be subject to the reasonable review and approval of Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

6.9 Company Employee Matters.

(a) Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary or required under the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Company ESPP”) and applicable Law to, contingent on the Effective Time, (i) ensure that no new offering period or purchase period shall be authorized, commenced or extended on or after the date of this Agreement and (ii) if the Closing shall occur prior to the end of the offering period in existence under the Company ESPP on the date of this Agreement, cause the rights of participants in the Company ESPP with respect to any such offering period (and purchase period thereunder) then underway under the Company ESPP to be determined by treating the last Business Day prior to the Acceptance Time as the last day of such offering period and purchase period and by making such other pro-rata adjustments as may be necessary to reflect the shortened offering period and purchase period but otherwise treating such shortened offering period and purchase period as a fully effective and completed offering period and purchase period for all purposes under the Company ESPP. The Company shall terminate the Company ESPP in its entirety effective as of the Acceptance Time, contingent upon the Effective Time. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall take all actions (including, if appropriate, amending the terms of the Company ESPP) that are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 6.9(a).

-68-

(b) 401(k) Plan. The Company shall terminate any and all 401(k) plans maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary (each a “401(k) Plan”), in each case effective as of the day immediately preceding the date the Company becomes a member of the same controlled group of corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code) as Parent, unless Parent provides written notice (at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the date the Company becomes a member of the same controlled group of corporations as Parent) to the Company that such 401(k) Plan(s) shall not be terminated. The Company shall provide Parent evidence that the 401(k) Plan(s) of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been terminated pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board or the board of directors of its Subsidiaries, as applicable. The Company shall also take such other actions in furtherance of terminating any such 401(k) Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably request.

(c) Termination of Company Plans. The Company shall terminate any and all group severance, separation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements maintained by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates, each of which such group plans, programs and arrangements is set forth Section 6.9(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, in each case effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the last day of the initial period of the Offer. For the avoidance of any doubt, the termination of all group severance, separation and salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be effected without any payment or benefits (or giving rights to any payment or benefits) thereunder. The Company shall provide Parent evidence that such plans have been terminated pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board or the board of directors of its Subsidiaries, as applicable (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent).

(d) No Third Party Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation to terminate, any Employee for any reason, or (ii) require Parent or the Surviving Corporation to continue any Employee Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof on and after the Effective Time.

6.10 Company Director and Officer Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under their respective certificates of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) and all indemnification agreements in effect as of the date of this Agreement between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors and officers (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) (which, to the extent under Delaware Law, shall be honored for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date, and any claim made requesting indemnification pursuant to such indemnification rights within such six-year period shall continue to be subject to this Section 6.10(a) and the indemnification rights provided under this Section 6.10(a) until disposition of such claim).

-69-

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Acceptance Time, covering each person covered by the D&O Insurance as of the date of this Agreement, on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those of the D&O Insurance in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may, at its option, substitute therefor policies of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries containing terms with respect to coverage and amounts no less favorable, in the aggregate, to such persons than the D&O Insurance, provided, further, that in satisfying its obligations under this Section 6.10(b) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of two hundred percent (200%) of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such two hundred percent (200%) amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”) (which premiums the Company represents and warrants to be as set forth in Section 6.10(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule), provided, further, that that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium. Prior to the Acceptance Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may purchase a six-year “tail” prepaid policy (the “Tail Policy”) on the D&O Insurance on terms and conditions no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the D&O Insurance. In the event that the Company purchases such a Tail Policy prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such Tail Policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under the first sentence of this Section 6.10(b) for so long as such Tail Policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(c) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 6.10.

(d) The obligations under this Section 6.10 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Company Indemnified Party (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the Tail Policy referred to in Section 6.10(b) (and their heirs and representatives)) without the prior written consent of such affected Company Indemnified Party or other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the Tail Policy referred to in Section 6.10(b) (and their heirs and representatives). Each of the Company Indemnified Parties or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the Tail Policy referred to in Section 6.10(b) (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the Company Indemnified Parties (and other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the Tail Policy referred to in Section 6.10(b) (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 6.10 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).

-70-

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act any dispositions of shares of Company Shares (including derivative securities with respect to such shares) that are treated as dispositions under such rule and result from the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby by each director or officer of the Company who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company.

6.12 Compensation Committee Approval of New Compensation Arrangements. Prior to the Effective Time, if and to the extent not already approved by the Compensation Committee as of the date of this Agreement, the Company (acting through its Compensation Committee) will take all steps that may be necessary or advisable to cause (i) each compensation arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with an executive officer of the Company within one (1) year prior to the date of this Agreement, and (ii) each compensation arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on or after the date of this Agreement to be approved by the Compensation Committee (comprised solely of “independent directors” determined within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange Act) as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act and to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d)(1) of the Exchange Act. To the extent such actions are taken by resolution or consent, the form and substance of such resolutions or consents shall be in writing and be subject to review and approval of Parent, which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.

6.13 Termination of Certain Agreements. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate each of the agreements listed in Section 6.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Terminated Agreements”), effective as of and contingent upon the Closing, including sending all required notices, such that each such agreement shall be of no further force or effect immediately following the Effective Time.
