All capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Annex I or as otherwise defined elsewhere in this Agreement unless the context clearly provides otherwise. Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company are each sometimes referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, it is proposed that Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock” or, such shares, “Company Shares”) for the consideration and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, it is also proposed that, as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer, the Parties wish to effect the acquisition of the Company by Parent through the merger of Acquisition Sub with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, this Agreement expressly requires the Merger to be governed by Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and provides that the Merger shall be effected as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer if the Merger is effected under Section 251(h) of the DGCL (unless Section 251(h) of the DGCL is inapplicable);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of the Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares or Dissenting Shares) will be automatically converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board of Directors”) (i) determined that the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Transactions”), including the Offer, are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders, (ii) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement, (iii) adopted and approved the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its covenants and agreements contained herein and the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein and (iv) resolved to recommend that the holders of shares of Company Common Stock accept the Offer, tender their shares of Company Common Stock to Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Offer or, solely in the case that Section 251(h) of the DGCL is inapplicable, adopt the Agreement (the “Company Board Recommendation”);

WHEREAS, the boards of directors of Parent and Acquisition Sub have approved this Agreement and determined that this Agreement and the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, Parent and Acquisition Sub and their respective stockholders; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Offer and the Merger and also prescribe various conditions to the Offer and the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE OFFER

Section 1.1. The Offer.

(a) Terms and Conditions of the Offer. Subject to applicable law and provided that this Agreement shall not have been validly terminated pursuant to Article IX, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (but in no event later than December 4, 2015), Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) the Offer to purchase any and all of the Company Shares. In the Offer, each Company Share accepted by Acquisition Sub in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer shall be exchanged for the right to receive $20.00 in cash (the “Offer Price”). The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that is disseminated to all of the holders of Company Shares and contains the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in Annex II. Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and thereof. The Offer shall be subject only to:

(i) the condition (the “Minimum Condition”) that, prior to the expiration of the Offer, there be validly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer a number of Company Shares that, together with the Company Shares then owned by Parent and Acquisition Sub (if any), represents at least a majority of all then outstanding Company Shares (excluding Company Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received,” as such term is defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL, by the depositary for the Offer pursuant to such procedures); and

(ii) the other conditions set forth in Annex II.

(b) Acquisition Sub expressly reserves the right to waive any of the conditions to the Offer and to make any change in the terms of, or conditions to, the Offer; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, without the prior written consent of the Company in its sole discretion, Acquisition Sub shall not (and Parent shall not permit Acquisition Sub to) (i) waive the Minimum Condition, or

-2-

any of the conditions set forth in clauses (A), (B) or (D)(1) of Annex II and (ii) make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer that (A) changes the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer, (B) except as contemplated by Section 3.1(d), decreases the Offer Price or the number of Company Shares sought in the Offer, (C) extends the Offer, other than in a manner required by the provisions of Section 1.1(c), (D) imposes conditions to the Offer other than those set forth in Annex II, (E) modifies the conditions set forth in Annex II or (F) amends any other term or condition of the Offer in any manner that is adverse to the holders of Company Shares.

(i) Unless the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at midnight, New York City time, at the time that is one (1) minute following 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is twenty (20) business days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Section 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the date the Offer is first commenced (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act). In the event that the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, then the Offer shall expire on the date and at the time to which the Offer has been so extended.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1(c)(i) or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, without the consent of the Company:

(A) Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) extend the Offer for any period required by any Law, or any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or NASDAQ, in any such case, which is applicable to the Offer;

(B) in the event that any of the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex II (including the Minimum Condition) have not been satisfied or waived as of any then scheduled expiration of the Offer, Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) extend the Offer for successive extension periods of up to ten (10) business days each (or, in the case that any such ten (10) business day extension would extend beyond the Outside Date, then such extension shall be made only to the second (2^nd) business day prior to the Outside Date) in order to further seek to satisfy such conditions (including the Minimum Condition); and

(C) (1) in the event that (in the case of the initial Financing Extension Notice) all of the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex II (including (x) the Minimum Condition and (y) the condition set forth in clause (D)(5) of Annex II that the Company shall have furnished Parent with a certificate signed on its behalf of any of the Company’s chairman of the board, its chief executive officer or any individual listed on Section A of the Company Disclosure Letter to the effect that the conditions set forth in clauses (D)(2), (D)(3) and (D)(4) of Annex II have not occurred) have been satisfied or waived as of any then scheduled expiration of the Offer, and (2) in the event that Parent and Acquisition Sub are in compliance in all material respects with their respective covenants and agreements under Section 7.13 and Parent or Acquisition Sub have been and remain unable to obtain proceeds of financing in an amount sufficient (together with any funds available to Parent or Acquisition Sub) to consummate the Transactions on the date on which the Acceptance Time would otherwise occur (such financing, the “Requisite Financing”), Acquisition Sub shall be entitled (A) by written notice from the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Operating Officer of Parent to the Company no later than 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next business day after the then scheduled expiration date of the Offer that certifies that (1) Parent and Acquisition Sub have complied in all material respects with their respective covenants and agreements in Section 7.13, (2) Parent has been and remains unable to obtain the Requisite Financing as of the date that the Acceptance Time would otherwise be required to occur and (3) Acquisition Sub is delivering such notice solely to extend the Offer to obtain the Requisite Financing (such certified written notice, a “Financing Extension Notice”), to extend the Offer to such later time specified by Parent in the Financing Extension Notice (except that in no event shall such extension exceed ten (10) business days and Parent and Acquisition Sub shall not be entitled to extend the expiration to a date that is later than two (2) business days prior to November 18, 2016). Acquisition Sub shall be permitted to deliver multiple Financing Extension Notices to the Company (except that in no event shall any extension pursuant to any such Financing Extension Notice exceed ten (10) business days and Parent shall not be entitled to extend the expiration to a date that is later than two (2) business days prior to November 18, 2016);

provided, however, that any such extension shall not be deemed to impair, limit, or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of the Parties to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Article IX and if, at the time of the applicable expiration date, all of the conditions to the Offer set forth on Annex II (other than the Minimum Condition) are satisfied, all comments of the SEC or its staff applicable to the Offer or the Offer Documents have been resolved and no rule, regulation or interpretation of the SEC or its staff applicable to the Offer would require Parent or Acquisition Sub to extend the Offer, then Acquisition Sub shall only be required to extend the Offer and its expiration date beyond the then-existing expiration date for up to two additional periods not to exceed an aggregate of twenty (20) business days to permit the Minimum Condition to be satisfied.

-3-

(iii) Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer or provide a “subsequent offering period” within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act in any manner other than pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1(c)(ii) without the prior written consent of the Company.

(iv) Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to the then scheduled expiration of the Offer unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article IX, in which case Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer promptly (but in no event more than one (1) business day) after such termination of this Agreement.

(d) Payment for Company Shares. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offer, Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) accept for payment, and pay for, all Company Shares that are validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly (within the meaning of Section 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 1.1(c)(ii)) (such time, the “Acceptance Time”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Acquisition Sub on a timely basis the funds necessary to pay for any Company Shares that Acquisition Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, Acquisition Sub shall not accept for payment or pay for any Company Shares if, as a result, Acquisition Sub would acquire less than the number of Company Shares necessary to satisfy the Minimum Condition. The consideration in the Offer payable in respect of each Company Share validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid net to the holder thereof in cash subject to reduction for any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof. If payment of the Offer Price is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered certificate evidencing Company Shares is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Offer Price to a Person other than the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or shall have established to the satisfaction of Acquisition Sub that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable.

(e) Schedule TO; Offer Documents.

(i) As soon as practicable on the date the Offer is first commenced (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act), Parent and Acquisition Sub shall:

(1) prepare and file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, and including all exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer, which Schedule TO shall contain (A) as an exhibit or incorporate by reference the Offer to Purchase and forms of the letter(s) of transmittal and summary advertisement, if any, and other customary ancillary documents, in each case, in respect of the Offer and (B) notice to holders of Company Shares informing such holders of their rights of appraisal in respect of such Company Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”);

-4-

(2) deliver a copy of the Schedule TO, including all exhibits thereto, to the Company at its principal executive offices in accordance with Rule 14d-3(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act;

(3) give telephonic notice of the information required by Rule 14d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and mail by means of first class mail a copy of the Schedule TO, to NASDAQ in accordance with Rule 14d-3(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; and

(4) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to all holders of Company Shares as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act.

(ii) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, the Offer Documents may include a description of the determinations, approvals and recommendations of the Company Board of Directors set forth in Section 1.2(a) that relate to the Offer. The Company shall furnish in writing to Parent and Acquisition Sub all information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries that is required by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Acquisition Sub or Parent to be included in the Offer Documents so as to enable Parent and Acquisition Sub to comply with their obligations under this Section 1.1(e). Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to determine the information regarding the Company that is necessary to include in the Offer Documents in order to satisfy applicable Law. Each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it or any of its respective Representatives for use in the Offer Documents to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the holders of Company Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law, or by the SEC or its staff or NASDAQ. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and Parent and Acquisition Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall (A) provide in writing to the Company and its counsel any and all written comments that Parent, Acquisition Sub or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after such receipt, (B) provide a reasonably detailed description of any oral comments Parent, Acquisition Sub or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after such receipt, and (C) unless there has been a Change of Recommendation, provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the SEC or its staff (including a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such response, to which Parent and Acquisition Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel) and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the SEC and its staff, to participate in any discussions with the SEC or its staff regarding any such comments.

TREATMENT OF SECURITIES

Section 3.1. Treatment of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Acquisition Sub or the holders of any securities of the Company or Acquisition Sub:

(a) Conversion of Company Securities. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares or Dissenting Shares) shall be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). The holders of certificates (the “Certificates”) or book-entry shares (“Book-

-9-

Entry Shares”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Company Share shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Share other than the right to receive, upon surrender of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 3.2 of this Agreement, the Merger Consideration, or, with respect to Dissenting Shares, the rights set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL.

(b) Cancellation of Company Common Stock. Each Company Share held by the Company as treasury stock (or by any wholly owned subsidiary thereof) or held by Parent or Acquisition Sub (or by any wholly owned subsidiary of Parent) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration or payment shall be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof (such Company Shares collectively, the “Cancelled Shares”).

(c) Conversion of Acquisition Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Acquisition Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Adjustment to Merger Consideration. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement and other than as contemplated by this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall occur as a result of a reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), division or subdivision of shares or other similar transaction, or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period, the Offer Price and Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

Section 3.2. Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), the identity and the terms of appointment of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, for the payment of the funds to which holders of such shares of Company Common Stock shall become entitled pursuant to this Agreement. Parent (or the Surviving Corporation, after the Effective Time) shall pay the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent. At or prior to each of the Acceptance Time and the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall take all steps necessary to enable and cause Acquisition Sub to, deposit with the Paying Agent all of the funds necessary to make the aggregate payments of the Merger Consideration due under Section 3.1 (the “Exchange Fund”). In the event that the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 3.1, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payments. The Paying Agent shall cause the Exchange Fund to be (i) held for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock and (ii) applied promptly to making the payments pursuant to Section 3.2(c) hereof. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments pursuant to Section 3.2(c), except as expressly provided for in this Agreement.

-10-

(b) Procedures for Surrender. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time and in any event not later than the third (3rd) business day thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail (or to make available for collection by hand) to each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares and whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1, (x) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and which shall be in the form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify, and (y) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the applicable merger consideration into which the number of Company Shares previously represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement (which instructions shall provide that, at the election of the surrendering holder, (1) Certificates or Book-Entry Shares may be surrendered by hand delivery or otherwise or (2) the Merger Consideration in exchange therefor may be collected by hand by the surrendering holder or by wire transfer to the surrendering holder). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered are registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Shares shall be properly transferred and the person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(c) Payment Procedures. Following surrender to the Paying Agent of Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed, and such other documents as may be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be paid in exchange therefor cash in an amount (subject to any applicable withholding Tax) equal to the product of the number of Company Shares represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares multiplied by the Merger Consideration, and such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall forthwith be cancelled. 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 the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. From and after the Effective Time and until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2(c), each Certificate and Book-Entry Share (other than Cancelled Shares or Dissenting Shares) shall represent for all purposes solely the right to receive, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Company Shares evidenced by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, without any interest thereon.

(d) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter

-11-

there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that evidenced ownership of Company Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Shares other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration, except as otherwise provided herein. If, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund; No Liability. At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) remaining in the Exchange Fund that have not been disbursed, or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Paying Agent’s routine administrative procedures, to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation and Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the applicable Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and in compliance with the procedures in Section 3.2(b), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration or other amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying 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 and in compliance with the other procedures set forth in this Section 3.2 (other than the surrender of the Certificate) and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof.

Section 3.3. Dissenter’s Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares) and held by a holder who has properly exercised appraisal rights in respect of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration but instead shall be entitled to payment of such consideration as may be determined to be due in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such Company Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1(a), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificates formerly representing such Company Shares or transfer of such Book-Entry Shares, as the case may be.

-12-

(b) The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any Company Shares, of any withdrawals of such demands and of any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to Section 262 of the DGCL, and Parent shall have the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, or agree to do any such appraisal demands.

Section 3.4. Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) Each option to purchase Company Shares (each, a “Company Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, become fully vested (to the extent unvested) and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Company Share of such Company Option by (ii) the total number of Company Shares subject to such Company Option. Parent or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall pay to the holders of Company Options the cash amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any other applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to such payment, within five (5) business days following the Effective Time.

(b) Each award of restricted stock units denominated in Company Shares (each, a “Company RSU Award”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, as of the Effective Time, become fully vested (to the extent unvested) and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of Company Shares subject to such Company RSU Award by (ii) the Merger Consideration. Parent or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall pay to the holders of Company RSU Awards the cash amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any other applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to such payment, within five (5) business days following the Effective Time (or, if applicable, such later date required by Section 409A of the Code).

(c) Each award of performance units denominated in Company Shares (each, a “Company PU Award”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, as of the Effective Time, become fully vested (to the extent unvested) and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of Company Shares subject to such Company PU Award by (ii) the Merger Consideration. In the case of Company PU Awards that are subject to performance periods that are ongoing as of the Effective Time, performance conditions shall be deemed satisfied at the greater of target and actual performance (as determined by the Company Board) as of the Effective Time. Parent or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall pay to the holders of Company PU Awards the cash amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence, less

-13-

such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any other applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to such payment, within five (5) business days following the Effective Time (or, if applicable, such later date required by Section 409A of the Code).

(d) Each award of deferred stock units denominated in Company Shares (each, a “Company DSU Award”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, as of the Effective Time, become fully vested (to the extent unvested) and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of Company Shares subject to such Company DSU Award by (ii) the Merger Consideration. Parent or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall pay to the holders of Company DSU Awards the cash amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any other applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to such payment, within five (5) business days following the Effective Time (or, if applicable, such later date required by Section 409A of the Code).

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary or appropriate action to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 3.4.

Section 3.5. Withholding. Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Paying Agent to deduct and withhold, from the consideration otherwise payable to a holder of Company Common Stock or Company Equity Awards pursuant to this Agreement, any amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted with respect to such consideration under the Code, or any applicable provisions of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock or Company Equity Awards in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 5.5. Absence of Litigation. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no lawsuit, claim, complaint, action, formal investigation or proceeding before or by any Governmental Entity or arbitral tribunal pending, or to the knowledge of Parent, threatened against either Parent or Acquisition Sub which seeks to, or would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair the ability of Parent or Acquisition Sub to consummate the Merger or any of the other Transactions.

Section 5.6. Information Supplied. The information relating to Parent, the Parent Subsidiaries, and Acquisition Sub to be contained in the Offer Documents and the Schedule 14D-9 will not, on the date the Offer Documents and the Schedule 14D-9 (and any amendment or supplement thereto) are first mailed to stockholders of the Company contain any untrue statement of any material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, at the time and in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not false or misleading. The Offer Documents will comply in all material respects as to form with the requirements of both the Exchange Act and the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 5.7. Availability of Financing.

(a) Parent and Acquisition Sub will have available to them at the Acceptance Time and at the Closing, all funds necessary to consummate the Transactions and satisfy all of their obligations hereunder, including the payment of the aggregate Offer Price and aggregate Merger Consideration and the obligations of Parent pursuant to Section 3.4, and to pay any fees and expenses of or payable by Parent, Acquisition Sub, and the Surviving Corporation (the “Aggregate Cash Amount”). In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing by Parent or Acquisition Sub or any other financing or other transactions be a condition to any of Parent’s or Acquisition Sub’s obligations hereunder.

(b) Parent is a party to and has accepted a fully executed commitment letter dated November 18, 2015 (attached hereto as Exhibit A, and together with the fee letters referred to in the following sentence, the “Debt Commitment Letter”) from the financial institution or institutions identified therein (in their capacity as such, the “Debt Providers”) pursuant to which the Debt Providers have agreed to provide, subject to the terms and conditions therein, debt financing in the amounts set forth therein (the “Debt Financing”). Parent has delivered to the Company true, complete and correct copies of the executed Debt Commitment Letter and any fee letters related thereto, subject, in the case of such fee letters, to redaction solely of fee and other economic provisions that are customarily redacted in connection with transactions of this type and that could not in any event affect the availability or amount of the Debt Financing. As of the date hereof, the Debt Commitment Letter has not been amended or modified, the respective obligations and commitments contained in such letter have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect, and to the knowledge of Parent, no

-34-

such amendment, modification, withdrawal, or rescission is contemplated. The existence or exercise of the “flex” provisions contained in the fee letters delivered to the Company with respect thereto shall not constitute an amendment or modification of the Commitment Letter. Parent or Acquisition Sub has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees in connection with the Commitment Letter that are payable on or prior to the date hereof and will pay in full any such amounts due on or before the Closing Date.

(c) As of the date hereof, the Debt Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Parent and Acquisition Sub and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, subject to Enforceability Limitations. As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of Parent, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a failure to satisfy a condition by Parent or a default or breach on the part of Parent or Acquisition Sub or any other parties thereto under the Debt Commitment Letter. As of the date hereof, Parent is not aware of any fact, occurrence or condition that makes any of the assumptions or statements set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter inaccurate in any material respect, nor does it have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Debt Financing will not be satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date or that the Debt Financing will not be available to Parent or Acquisition Sub on or before the date of the Closing; provided that Parent is not making any representation regarding the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV or compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder. The Debt Commitment Letter contains all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the Debt Providers to make the Debt Financing available to Parent on the terms therein, and there are no other conditions to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing or contingencies that would permit the Debt Providers to reduce the total amount of the Debt Financing, including any condition or other contingency relating to the availability of the Debt Financing pursuant to any “flex” provision. As of the date hereof, there are no side letters, understandings, arrangements, or Contracts (other than the Debt Commitment Letter) between Parent or any of its affiliates and any of the Debt Providers or their respective affiliates related to the Debt Financing, except for any customary engagement letters in respect of the Debt Financing that do not impact the availability, conditionality or amount of the Debt Financing.

(d) The Debt Financing, when funded in accordance with the Debt Commitment Letter, together with the funds available to Parent, will provide Parent with cash proceeds at the Acceptance Time and on the Closing Date sufficient to pay the Aggregate Cash Amount.

Section 5.8. Finders and Brokers. Other than Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. and Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has employed any investment banker, broker or finder in connection with the Transactions who might be entitled to any fee or any commission in connection with this Agreement or upon consummation of the Offer and the Merger.

Neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary directly or indirectly owns, and at all times for the past three (3) years, neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary has owned, beneficially or otherwise, any Company Shares.

-35-

Section 5.10. No Acquisition Sub Activity. Since the date of Acquisition Sub’s formation, Acquisition Sub has not engaged in any activities other than in connection with its formation and this Agreement and the Transactions.

Section 5.11. No Vote of Parent Stockholders. No vote of the stockholders of Parent or the holders of any other securities of Parent (equity or otherwise) is required by any applicable Law, Parent Governing Documents or the applicable rules of any exchange on which securities of Parent are traded, in order for Parent to consummate the Transactions.

Section 5.12. Solvency. As of the Closing Date, immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Debt Financing), and assuming (i) the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Article IV and (ii) the performance in all material respects by the Company of its obligations hereunder:

(a) neither the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis nor the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis are insolvent (whether because its financial condition is such that the sum of its debts is greater than the fair market value of its assets or because the fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as they mature, or otherwise);

(b) each of Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis taken as a whole and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis taken as a whole do not have unreasonably small capital with which to engage in its business; and

(c) each of Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be able to pay their liabilities as they mature.

Section 5.13. No Other Representations. Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Article V, none of Parent or Acquisition Sub nor any other Person on behalf of Parent or Acquisition Sub makes any express or implied representation or warranty (and there is and has been no reliance by the Company or any of its affiliates or Representatives on any such representation or warranty) with respect to Parent, Acquisition Sub or their respective businesses or with respect to any other information provided, or made available, to the Company or its affiliates or Representatives in connection with the Transactions, including the accuracy or completeness thereof. Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article IV, Parent acknowledges that neither the Company nor any Representative of the Company makes, and Parent acknowledges that it has not relied upon or otherwise been induced by, any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to any other information provided or made available to Parent in connection with the Transactions, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Parent or to Parent’s Representatives in expectation of the Transactions.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, but subject to Section 6.2(e), at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board of Directors may (i) make a Change of Recommendation in connection with an Intervening Event (other than for a Superior Proposal) if the Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the Company Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, or (ii) make a Change of

-42-

Recommendation and cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(g) in order to enter into an definitive agreement in connection with an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal, which the Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors, in light of such Superior Proposal, failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the Company Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(e) Prior to the Company taking any action permitted (i) under Section 6.2(d)(i), (A) the Company shall provide Parent with three (3) business days’ prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to effect a Change of Recommendation and specifying, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor, and during such three (3) business day period, the Company shall make its Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith any proposal by Parent to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (B) at the end of the three (3) business day period, the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith that the failure to make a Change of Recommendation, in light of such Intervening Event and taking into account any adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement agreed to or proposed by Parent, as a result of any discussions or negotiations, would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the Company Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, or (ii) under Section 6.2(d)(ii), (A) the Company shall provide Parent with three (3) business days’ prior written notice advising Parent that the Company Board of Directors intends to take such action and specifying the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal and attaching the most current draft of any written agreement providing for the transactions contemplated by such Acquisition Proposal (including all ancillary agreements and any financing commitments), and during such three (3) business day period, the Company shall make its Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith any proposal by Parent to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, and (B) at the end of the three (3) business day period, the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith that the failure to make a Change of Recommendation, after taking into account any adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement agreed to or proposed by Parent as a result of any discussions or negotiations, would be reasonably likely to result in a breach by the Company Board of Directors of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, each time a material modification to the terms of an Alternative Proposal determined to be a Superior Proposal is made (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms shall be deemed to be a material modification), the Company shall notify Parent of such modification and the time period set forth in Section 6.2(e)(ii)(B) shall recommence and be extended for three (3) business days from the day of such notification.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors from (i) issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, or taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), or making a statement contemplated by Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Company Board of Directors has reasonably determined in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the Company Board of Directors’ fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under

-43-

applicable Law; provided that this Section 6.2(g) shall not permit the Company Board of Directors to make a Change of Recommendation except to the extent permitted by Section 6.2(d) or Section 6.2(e). For the avoidance of doubt, any “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act shall not constitute a Change of Recommendation.

ARTICLE VII

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 7.1. Access; Confidentiality; Notice of Certain Events.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries, respectively, to afford to Parent and to the Representatives of Parent reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice to all of their respective properties, employees, offices, books and records and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, furnish reasonably promptly to Parent all information (financial or otherwise) concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required by this Section 7.1 to provide the other Party or the Representatives of such other Party with access to or to disclose information (A) the disclosure of which would violate the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party entered into prior to the date of this Agreement or entered into after the date of this Agreement in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice (provided, however, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure and shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure to the extent that such access or disclosure does not result in such violation), (B) the disclosure of which would violate any Law or duty (provided, however, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure not in violation of any Law or duty) or (C) that is subject to any attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege (provided, however, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure to the maximum extent that does not result in a loss of any such attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege). Each of the Company and Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to the businesses of the other Party that may result from the requests for access, data and information hereunder.

(b) Each of the Company and Parent will hold, and will cause its Representatives and affiliates to hold, any nonpublic information, including any information exchanged pursuant to this Section 7.1, in confidence to the extent required by and in accordance with, and will otherwise comply with, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(c) The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, (i) of any notice or other communication received by such Party from any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger

-44-

or other Transactions, or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Offer, the Merger or the other Transactions, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such Party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, (ii) of any legal proceeding or, to the knowledge of the Company, any investigation, commenced or, to any Party’s knowledge, threatened against, such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates or otherwise relating to, involving or affecting such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, in each case in connection with, arising from or otherwise relating to the Offer, the Merger or any other Transaction or (iii) any representation or warranty made in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate such that the conditions set forth in Annex II would not be satisfied or of any failure to comply with any covenant to be complied with under this Agreement such that the conditions in Annex II would not be satisfied. The failure to deliver any such notice shall not affect any of the conditions set forth in Annex II or give rise to any right to terminate under Article IX. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate, at Parent’s expense, in (but not control) the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation or claims against the Company or any of its directors relating to the Offer or the Merger, in each case which seek to prohibit, restrain or modify the terms of the Transactions. The Company shall not settle or agree to settle any litigation against the Company or any director by any stockholder relating to this Agreement, the Offer or the Merger, without the prior written consent of Parent.

(d) The Company and Parent shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) use their respective reasonable best efforts to not take any action that may cause, directly or indirectly, Section 251(h) of the DGCL to be in applicable to this Agreement or the Transactions.

Section 7.2. Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and subject to Sections 7.2(b), 7.2(c) and 7.2(d), each Party will cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and 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, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions as soon as practicable after the date hereof, including (i) preparing and filing, in consultation with the other Party and as promptly as practicable and advisable after the date hereof, all documentation to effect all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings, and other documents and to obtain as promptly as practicable all waiting period expirations or terminations, consents, clearances, registrations, approvals, and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions and (ii) taking all steps as may be necessary to obtain all such waiting period expirations or terminations, consents, clearances, waivers, licenses, registrations, permits, authorizations, orders and approvals. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, but subject to Sections 7.2(b), 7.2(c) and 7.2(d), each Party agrees to make appropriate filings under any applicable Antitrust Laws, including, but not limited to, a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions as promptly as practicable, and to supply as promptly as practicable and advisable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested by any Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable Antitrust Law, including, but

-45-

not limited to, the HSR Act and to take all other actions necessary to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods and to obtain any other required consents, clearances, registrations, approvals, and authorizations as soon as practicable. Subject to Sections 7.2(b), 7.2(c) and 7.2(d), neither Parent nor Company shall take or permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to take any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Subject to Section 7.2(c) and Section 7.2(d), applicable Law and all applicable privileges (including the attorney-client privilege) and except as prohibited by any Governmental Entity, each of Parent and the Company shall, in connection with the efforts referenced in Section 7.2(a) to obtain all waiting period expirations or terminations, consents, clearances, waivers, licenses, orders, registrations, approvals, permits, and authorizations for the Transactions under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law, (i) cooperate in all respects and consult with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, including by allowing the other Party to have a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and comment on drafts of filings and submissions; (ii) promptly inform the other Party of any communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) or any other Governmental Entity, by promptly providing copies to the other Party of any such written communications, and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the Transactions; and (iii) permit the other Party to review in advance any communication that it gives to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting, substantive telephone call or conference with, the DOJ, the FTC or any other Governmental Entity, or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person, and to the extent not prohibited by the DOJ, the FTC or any other applicable Governmental Entity or other Person, give the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate in any in-person meetings with the DOJ, the FTC or any other Governmental Entity or other Person; provided, however, that materials required to be provided pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) may be redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of Parent, Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (B) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (C) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants contained in Section 7.2(a) and Section 7.2(b), the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to contest and defend against the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing on or before the Outside Date, including defending through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in any court with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the FTC, the DOJ or any other applicable Governmental Entity or any private party.

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants contained in Section 7.2(a) and Section 7.2(b), the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law so as to enable the Closing to

-46-

occur as soon as possible (and in any event no later than the Outside Date), including, without limitation, (x) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of such businesses, product lines or assets of Parent, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries and (y) otherwise taking or committing to take actions or accept conditions that after the Closing Date would limit Parent’s, the Company’s and their respective Subsidiaries’ freedom of action with respect to, or its or their ability to retain, one or more of the businesses, product lines or assets of Parent, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries, in each case as may be required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order, or other order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the Closing. Parent and, if requested by Parent, the Company shall agree to divest, sell, dispose of, hold separate, or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits its freedom of action with respect to, or Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries ability to retain, any of the businesses, product lines or assets of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that any such action is conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary shall be required to propose, negotiate, commit to, effect, or accept any of the actions specified in this Section 7.2(d) if such actions would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material and adverse effect on the business, product lines, or assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (B) neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary shall be required to propose, negotiate, commit to, effect, or accept any obligation to, divest, dispose of or hold separate any assets, product lines or businesses of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries if such divestitures, dispositions or holding separate requirements would, individually or in the aggregate, result in a divestiture, disposition or holding separate of assets, product lines or business accounting for five percent (5%) or more of the consolidated gross revenues of the Parent and its Subsidiaries during the last completed fiscal year period.

Section 7.3. Publicity. Subject to Section 6.2(f), neither the Company nor Parent, nor any of their respective affiliates or Representatives, shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to the Offer, the Merger or this Agreement without the prior consent of the other Party, unless such Party determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that it is required by applicable Law or by any listing agreement with or the listing rules of a national securities exchange or trading market to issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to the Offer, the Merger or this Agreement, in which event such Party shall endeavor, on a basis reasonable under the circumstances, to provide a meaningful opportunity to the other Party to review and comment upon such press release or other announcement in advance and shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required by this Section 7.3 to provide any such review or comment to Parent following a Change of Recommendation and matters related thereto; provided, further, that the Parties shall not be required by this Section 7.3 to provide any such review or comment to the other Party in the event of any material dispute between the Parties relating to this Agreement; provided, further, that each Party and their respective affiliates may make statements that are not inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by Parent and the Company in compliance with this Section 7.3.

Section 7.4. Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance and Indemnification.

(a) For not less than six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless all past and present directors, officers and employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any actual or threatened claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by Law; provided such Indemnified Party agrees in advance to return any such funds to which a court of competent jurisdiction has determined in a final, nonappealable judgment such Indemnified Party is not ultimately entitled), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, investigation, suit or proceeding in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions), asserted or claimed against the applicable Indemnified Party, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in connection with such persons serving as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time or of any Person if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, to the fullest extent permitted by Law or provided pursuant to the Company Governing Documents or the organizational documents of any Company Subsidiary or any indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement. The Parties agree that all rights to elimination of liability, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, now existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties as provided in their respective certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) or in any agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Indemnified Party notifies Parent or the Surviving Corporation on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time of a matter in respect of which such Person may seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.4, the provisions of this Section 7.4 shall continue in effect with respect to such matter until the final disposition of all claims, actions, investigations, suits and proceedings relating thereto.

(b) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained in effect the provisions in (i) the Company Governing Documents and the organizational documents of any Company Subsidiary and (ii) any other agreements of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with any Indemnified Party, in each case, regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses that are in existence on the date of this Agreement, and no such provision shall be amended, modified or repealed in any manner that would adversely affect the rights or protections thereunder of any such Indemnified Party in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions).

-48-

(c) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Company’s current directors and officers an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is no less favorable than the Company’s existing policy or, if insurance coverage that is no less favorable is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement; provided, further, that the Company may prior to the Effective Time substitute therefor a single premium tail coverage with respect to D&O Insurance with an annual cost not in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement.

(d) In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.4. The rights and obligations under this Section 7.4 shall survive consummation of the Offer and the Merger and shall not be terminated or amended in a manner that is adverse to any Indemnified Party without the written consent of such Indemnified Party.

(e) The Indemnified Parties shall be express third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.4.

Section 7.5. Takeover Statutes. The Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts (a) to take all action necessary so that no Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions and (b) if any such Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to any of the foregoing, to take all action necessary so that the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to eliminate or minimize the effect of such Takeover Statute on the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions.

Section 7.6. Obligations of Acquisition Sub. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Acquisition Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.7. Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, assume, honor and fulfill all of the Company Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the date of this Agreement. Effective as of the Effective Time and for a period of no less than one (1) year thereafter, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to each employee of the Company and/or the Company Subsidiaries who continues to be employed by Parent or the

-49-

Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof (the “Continuing Employees”): (i) annual rates of base salaries or wage levels and annual target cash incentive opportunities (and in respect of which, for the Company’s fiscal year ending in 2016, the applicable performance metrics shall be adjusted reasonably and in good faith to reflect the fact that the Company shall cease to be a publicly traded entity) which, in each case, shall be no less favorable than those provided to the Continuing Employees by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; (ii) equity-incentive compensation opportunities that, in each case, are no less favorable than those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries and (iii) all other compensation and employee benefits that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than those provided to employees of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for such one (1)-year period following the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide any Continuing Employee who experiences a termination of employment under circumstances that would have entitled such Continuing Employee to severance benefits under either the severance plan or policy of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time or a severance plan or policy of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries applicable to similarly situated employees of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries at the time of such termination, with severance benefits at a level at least equal to the greater of those that would have been provided under the either such severance plan or policy.

(b) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans of Parent and Parent Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Continuing Employees after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), Parent will ensure that each Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that the foregoing shall not apply (i) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits, (ii) with respect to benefit accruals under a defined benefit pension plan or retiree welfare benefit plan, or (iii) with respect to any newly established New Plan for which prior service is not taken into account for employees of Parent or any of its affiliates. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the extent permitted under applicable Law, (x) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is comparable to a Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (y) for purposes of each New Plan providing welfare benefits (including medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits) to any Continuing Employee, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries in which such employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plans ending on the date

-50-

such 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 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.

(c) Parent hereby acknowledges that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Company Benefit Plans will occur at or prior to the Effective Time, as applicable.

(d) Prior to the date on which the Company becomes an ERISA Affiliate of Parent (but not earlier than ten (10) business days prior to such date), the Company shall (unless otherwise instructed by Parent at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the date on which the Company becomes an ERISA Affiliate of Parent) terminate each Company Benefit Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (a “401(k) Plan”) that includes a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code effective as of no later than the day immediately prior to the date on which the Company becomes an ERISA Affiliate of Parent, with such termination subject to the Company becoming an ERISA Affiliate of Parent; provided, however, that Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a New Plan that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code to promptly accept rollovers of account balances from such 401(k) Plan, inclusive of any outstanding loan balances thereunder and related promissory notes of Company Employees. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such plan(s) have been terminated by providing resolutions approving such termination. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the review and approval of Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) Each cash-based long-term award (each, a “Company LTIP Award”) listed on Section 7.7(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested as of the Effective Time and shall be settled within five (5) calendar days following the Effective Time. In the case of Company LTIP Awards that are subject to performance periods that are ongoing as of the Effective Time, performance conditions shall be deemed satisfied at the greater of target and actual performance (as determined by the Company Board) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (and any Company RSU Award that may be issued as a result thereof shall be treated in the same manner as all other Company RSU Awards in accordance with Section 3.4(b) above).

(f) The Company may establish a cash-based retention program in the aggregate amount of $15 million to promote retention and to incentivize efforts to consummate the Closing (the “Retention Program”) with any such payments from such Retention Program to be paid immediately prior to the Effective Time or upon an earlier qualifying termination of employment. Amounts under the Retention Program shall be allocated among the employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries identified, and in the amounts and on such other terms as determined, by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or his designees). If a retention award or portion thereof under the Retention Program is forfeited by a participant, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or his designees) may reallocate the retention award (or unpaid portion thereof) to existing employees or new hires of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

-51-

(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Continuing Employee any right to continue in the employ or service of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any affiliate of Parent, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any affiliate of Parent, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Continuing Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 7.7 shall (i) be deemed or construed to be an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan or employee benefit plan of any of Acquisition Sub, or (ii) create any third party rights in any current or former service provider of the Company or its affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

Section 7.8. Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company and Parent shall, as applicable, take all such steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable hereto to cause any dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the Transactions by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 7.9. Director Resignations. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent resignations executed by each director of the Company in office as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and effective upon the Effective Time.

Section 7.10. 14d-10 Matters. The parties acknowledge that certain payments have been made or are to be made and certain benefits have been granted or are to be granted according to employment compensation, severance and other employee benefit plans of the Company, including the Company Benefit Plans (collectively, the “Arrangements”), to certain holders of Company Shares and holders of Company Equity Awards. The Compensation Committee of the Company Board of Directors (the “Company Compensation Committee”) (a) at a meeting to be held prior to the Acceptance Time, will duly adopt resolutions approving as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act (i) each Arrangement presented to the Company Compensation Committee on or prior to the date hereof, (ii) the treatment of the Company Equity Awards, as applicable, in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement, and (iii) the terms of Section 7.4 and Section 7.7, and (b) will take all other actions necessary to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor under Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act with respect to the foregoing arrangements. Each member of the Company Compensation Committee is an “independent director” in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act.

Section 7.11. Stockholder Meeting. In the event that Section 251(h) of the DGCL is inapplicable to the Merger, then Parent and the Company shall as promptly as practicable, (a) prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement in connection with noticing and convening a meeting of the holders of Company Shares for purposes of obtaining from such holders of the Company Shares the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger (a “Stockholders Meeting”), (b) resolve any comments to such preliminary proxy statement (if any) from the SEC (and the Company shall notify Parent of any such comments from, or correspondence with, the SEC regarding the proxy statement and afford Parent and its

-52-

In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that (1) any portion of the Debt Financing structured as high yield bond financing shall become unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor and (2) all conditions contained in Annex II shall have been satisfied or waived (other than (x) any such conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the expiration of the Offer, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the expiration of the Offer, and (y) those conditions the failure of which to be satisfied is attributable to a breach by Parent or Acquisition Sub of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement), and (3) the term loan credit facilities contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (or alternative facilities obtained in accordance with this Section 7.13) are available on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter (or replacements thereof), then each of Parent and Acquisition Sub shall cause the proceeds of such term financing to be used immediately in lieu of such affected portion of the high yield bond financing.

You hereby appoint (a) DBSI and MLPFS to act, and DBSI and MLPFS hereby agree to act, as joint book running managers and joint lead arrangers for each of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (in such capacity, the “Joint Lead Arrangers”) and (b) DBNY to act, and DBNY hereby agrees to act, as sole administrative agent and collateral agent for each of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter. Each Agent will perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily performed and exercised by it in the foregoing roles. It is agreed that DBSI will have “left side” designation and shall appear on the top left of the cover page of any marketing materials for any of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and will have all rights and responsibilities customarily associated with such position and such name placement.

In connection with the syndication of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, at the Joint Lead Arrangers’ option, any Agent and/or one or more affiliates thereof may also be designated as “Syndication Agent”, “Documentation Agent” or such other titles as may be deemed appropriate or desirable by the Joint Lead Arrangers. In addition, the Joint Lead Arrangers shall have the right (in consultation with you) to award one or more of the roles or titles described above, or such other titles as may be determined by the Joint Lead Arrangers, to one or more other Lenders or affiliates thereof reasonably acceptable to you and below, in each case as determined by the Joint Lead Arrangers. You agree that, except as contemplated above, no other agents, co-agents or arrangers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid in connection with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities unless you and we shall so agree; provided that, at any time on or prior to the 15^th business day following your execution and delivery of this Commitment Letter, you may (in consultation with the Joint Lead Arrangers) appoint up to four additional agents, co-agents, arrangers, bookrunners, or managers reasonably acceptable to the Joint Lead Arrangers for each of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (any such agent, co-agent, arranger, bookrunner or manager, an “Additional Agent”) and the aggregate economics payable to the Additional Agents in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities shall not exceed the sum of (x) the TL Fee Re-Allocation Percentage (as defined below) of the total economics in respect of the Term Loan Facility which would otherwise be payable to the Agents party hereto on the date hereof pursuant to the Fee Letter (exclusive of any fees payable to an administrative agent or collateral agent in its capacity as such) and (y) such fees as are payable to the Additional Agents (or their affiliates) in respect of the RCF Additional Commitments pursuant to the Fee Letter (it being understood that (i) each Additional Agent (or its applicable affiliate) shall commit on a several (and not joint) basis to provide all or a portion of the RCF Additional Commitments, (ii) the commitments assumed by each such Additional Agent (or its applicable affiliate) for the Term Loan Facility will be in proportion to the economics allocated to such Additional Agent (or its applicable affiliate) in respect thereof, and (iii) (a) the commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder in respect of the Term Loan Facility will be reduced on a pro rata basis by the amount of the commitments of each Additional Agent (or its relevant affiliate) under the Term Loan Facility and (b) the commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder in respect of the Initial Revolving Credit Facility

We reserve the right, prior to and/or after the execution of definitive documentation for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Documentation”), to syndicate all or a portion of our commitments with respect to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities to a group of banks, financial institutions and other lenders (together with the Initial Lenders, the “Lenders”) identified by us in consultation with you pursuant to a syndication to be managed exclusively by the Joint Lead Arrangers, provided that we will not syndicate to (i) those persons identified by you in writing to us prior to the date hereof or (ii) bona fide competitors of the Borrower, any of its subsidiaries or the Acquired Business that are identified in writing by you prior to the date hereof (such persons, together with any person that is clearly identifiable as an affiliate of such person on the basis of its name, collectively, the “Disqualified Institutions”); provided, that the Borrower, upon reasonable written notice to the Joint Lead Arrangers after the date hereof (or, after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent), shall be permitted to supplement in writing the list of persons that are Disqualified Institutions to the extent such supplemented person is or becomes a bona fide competitor of the Borrower, any of its subsidiaries or the Acquired Business; provided, however, that such supplementation shall not apply retroactively to disqualify any parties that have previously acquired an assignment or participation interest in the Loans; and provided, further, that a competitor or an affiliate of a competitor shall not include any bona fide debt fund or investment vehicle (other than a person which is excluded pursuant to clause (i) above). All aspects of the syndication of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, including, without limitation, timing, potential syndicate members to be approached, titles, allocations and division of fees, shall be determined by (and coordinated through) the Joint Lead Arrangers in consultation with you.

You hereby acknowledge that (a) the Agents will make available Information (as defined below) and Projections, and the documentation relating to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities referred to in the paragraph below, to the proposed syndicate of Lenders (which will exclude Disqualified Institutions) by transmitting such Information, Projections and documentation through Intralinks, Debtdomain, SyndTrak Online, the internet, email or similar electronic transmission systems and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders

Each Agent reserves the right to employ the services of its affiliates (including, in the case of DB, Deutsche Bank AG) in providing services contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and to allocate, in whole or in part, to its affiliates certain fees payable to such Agent in such manner as such Agent and its affiliates may agree in their sole discretion. You acknowledge that (i) each Agent may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Agent, any information related to the Transaction, you, the Acquired Business (and your and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates), or any of the matters contemplated hereby and (ii) each Agent and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which you or your subsidiaries may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein or otherwise. No Agent will, however, furnish confidential information obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter or its other relationships with you to other companies (other than your affiliates). You also acknowledge that no Agent has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained by it from other companies.

You further acknowledge and agree that (a) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between you and us is intended to be or has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, irrespective of whether we or our affiliates have advised or are advising you on other matters, (b) we, on the one hand, and you, on the other hand, have an arms-length business relationship that does not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor do you rely on, any fiduciary duty on our part, (c) you are capable of evaluating and understanding, and you understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, (d) you have been advised that we and our affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions that may involve interests that differ from your interests and that we and our affiliates have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to you by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship, and (e) you waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims you may have against us or our affiliates for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agree that we and our affiliates shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to you in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of you, including your stockholders, employees or creditors.

You further acknowledge that each of DBSI and MLPFS is a full service securities firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, DBSI, MLPFS and/or their

-88-

respective affiliates may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for their own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, you, the Acquired Business and your and its respective subsidiaries and other companies with which you, your subsidiaries or the Acquired Business may have commercial or other relationships.

You acknowledge that you have been advised of the roles of DB and MLPFS and/or their respective affiliates as buy-side advisors to you in connection with the Transaction and that, in such capacity, DB and MLPFS and/or their respective affiliates are not advising you to enter into this Commitment Letter or advising you with respect to any financing contemplated herein.

You acknowledge and agree to such retentions, and further agree not to assert any claim you might allege based on any actual or potential conflicts of interest that might be asserted to arise or result from, on the one hand, the engagement of DB and MLPFS hereunder or any arrangement, underwriting or provision by DB and MLPFS and/or their respective affiliates of any financing in connection with the Transactions and, on the other hand, DB’s and MLPFS’ and/or their respective affiliates’ roles as buy-side advisors to you in connection with the Transactions. Each of DB and MLPFS acknowledges (i) the role of MLPFS and/or its affiliates as a buy-side advisor to you in connection with the Transaction and (ii) that such relationship does not create any fiduciary duty or responsibilities to the other Agents on the part of either DB or MLPFS and/or their respective affiliates.

Swingline Loans: Up to an amount to be agreed of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be available prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, in the sole discretion of DBNY (in such capacity, the “Swingline Lender”), for swingline loans (the “Swingline Loans” and, together with Revolving Loans and Term Loans, the “Loans”) to be made by the Swingline Lender on same-day notice. Any Swingline Loans will reduce availability under the Revolving Credit Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Each Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility shall acquire an irrevocable and unconditional pro rata participation in each Swingline Loan.

				7.		Up-Front Fee: An up-front fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate amount of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility on the Closing Date shall be paid on the Closing Date ratably to the Lenders that participate in the Revolving Credit Facility.

				8.		Currency: U.S. Dollars; provided that, at the election of the Borrower, the Revolving Credit Facility may be split into a U.S.

B-3


			Dollar-based tranche and a multicurrency tranche providing for Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in certain additional currencies, with multicurrency mechanics substantially consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (including a so-called “collateral allocation mechanism”) and with tranche sizes and multicurrency sub-limits to be mutually agreed.

Incremental Facilities:	The Borrower will have the right to obtain from existing Lenders or prospective lenders incremental commitments consisting of one or more (x) increases to the Revolving Credit Facility (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility”) and/or (y) increases to the Term Loan Facility and/or one or more new tranches of term loans to be made available under the Senior Secured Credit Documentation (each, an “Incremental Term Facility” and, together with the Incremental Revolving Facilities, the “Incremental Facilities”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed an amount equal to the greater of (a) $500.0 million and (b) an amount at such time that, after giving pro forma effect thereto (including use of proceeds), could be incurred without causing the pro forma First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined below) to exceed the pro forma First Lien Net Leverage Ratio on the Closing Date; provided that (i) all Incremental Facilities and permitted refinancings of the foregoing (or prior permitted refinancings) shall be included in the numerator of such ratio regardless of whether, and to what extent, secured, (ii) the proceeds of any Incremental Facilities shall not be netted from indebtedness for the purposes of such calculation and (iii) all Incremental Revolving Facilities shall be deemed to be fully drawn for purposes of such calculation; provided, further, that:

	(i)	no such Incremental Facility will be available until after the later to occur of the Closing Date and the date on which a Successful Syndication has occurred;

	(ii)	(A) no default or event of default exists or would exist after giving effect thereto and (B) the representations and warranties set forth in the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Documentation shall be true and correct in all material respects (except for (x) representations and warranties which expressly relate to an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (y) representations and warranties qualified by materiality, which shall be true and correct in all respects); provided that to the extent the proceeds of any Incremental Facility are intended to be applied to finance a Limited Conditionality Acquisition (as defined below) that is permitted under the Senior Secured Credit Documentation, the availability thereof shall, if agreed by the lenders providing such

B-4


	Incremental Facility, be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality provisions, and the event of default test referred to in immediately preceding clause (A) shall be tested at the time of the execution of the relevant acquisition agreement;

(iii)	any such Incremental Facility shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and shall benefit from the same guarantees as, and be secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral (as defined below) securing, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities;

(iv)	in the case of an Incremental Revolving Facility, such Incremental Revolving Facility shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Credit Facility (and be deemed added to, and made a part of, the Revolving Credit Facility); and

(v)	except for the terms described in this clause (v), loans to be made under an Incremental Term Facility (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”) shall be subject to the same terms as the Term Loans, unless such Incremental Term Loans are made a part of the Term Loan Facility (in which case all terms thereof shall be identical to those of the Term Loan Facility), provided that

		(a)	if the interest rate margins for any Incremental Term Facility incurred prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date are higher than the interest rate margins for the Term Loan Facility by more than 50 basis points, then the interest rate margins for the Term Loan Facility shall be increased to the extent necessary so that such interest rate margins are equal to the interest rate margins for such Incremental Term Facility minus 50 basis points (it being understood that any such increase in the interest rate margin shall not require the consent of any Lender); provided that, in determining the interest rate margins applicable to the Incremental Term Facility and the Term Loan Facility (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by Borrower to the Lenders under the Term Loan Facility or any Incremental Term Facility in the initial primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on assumed four-year life to maturity), (y) customary arrangement, commitment or similar fees payable to the Joint Lead Arrangers (or their affiliates) in connection with the Term Loan Facility or to

B-5


								one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of any Incremental Term Facility shall be excluded and (z) if the Incremental Term Facilities include an interest rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the existing Term Loan Facility, such increased amount shall be equated to interest margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the applicable interest margin under the existing Term Loan Facility shall be required, to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the then-existing Term Loan Facility would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the then-existing Term Loan Facility shall be increased by such increased amount;

						(b)		the final stated maturity date for such Incremental Term Loans may be the same as or later (but not sooner) than the final stated maturity date applicable to the Term Loans;

						(c)		the amortization requirements for such Incremental Term Loans may differ from those of the Term Loans, provided the average weighted life to maturity of such Incremental Term Loans is no shorter than the average weighted life to maturity applicable to the then outstanding Term Loans;

						(d)		any Incremental Term Facility may provide for the ability to participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the term loans under other outstanding term facilities under the Senior Secured Credit Documentation; and

						(e)		other terms may differ if reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans; provided that the other terms of any Incremental Term Facility that are not substantially identical to the then-existing Term Loan Facility (other than pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) above and sub-clauses (a) through (d) above) shall be (taken as a whole) no more favorable (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) to the relevant lenders under the Incremental Term Facility than those applicable to the then-existing Term Loan Facility or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest final maturity date of the loans under the then-existing Term Loan Facility existing at the time of incurrence of the Incremental Term Facility).

B-6


		For the purposes hereof, (x) “First Lien Net Leverage Ratio” means, on any date of determination, with respect to the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, subject to the proviso in clause (i) of the first paragraph of this section, the ratio of (a) consolidated secured indebtedness (excluding indebtedness secured only by the Collateral on a junior lien basis to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and which is subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) of the Borrower and its subsidiaries on such date (less the unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Borrower and its subsidiaries as of such date) to (b) Consolidated EBITDA (to be defined as mutually agreed) of the Borrower and its subsidiaries for the four fiscal quarter period most recently ended for which financial statements have been (or were required to have been) delivered and (y) “Total Net Leverage Ratio” means, on any date of determination, with respect to the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis the ratio of (a) consolidated indebtedness of the Borrower and its subsidiaries on such date (less the unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Borrower and its subsidiaries as of such date) to (b) Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its subsidiaries for the four fiscal quarter period most recently ended for which financial statements have been (or were required to have been) delivered.

		Existing Lenders may, but shall not be obligated without their prior written consent to, provide a commitment and/or make any loans pursuant to any Incremental Facility, and nothing contained herein or in the Commitment Letter constitutes, or shall be deemed to constitute, a commitment with respect to any Incremental Facility. The lenders providing any Incremental Facility shall be reasonably satisfactory to (a) the Administrative Agent and each Primary Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender to the extent required under “Assignments and Participations” below and (b) the Borrower.

		The proceeds of any Incremental Facilities may be used by the Borrower and its subsidiaries for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of permitted acquisitions and other investments and any other use not prohibited by the Senior Secured Credit Documentation.

		For the purposes of determining pro forma compliance with the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio in connection with any Incremental Facilities, the proceeds of which are to be used for a permitted acquisition that the Borrower or its subsidiaries is contractually committed to consummate and whose consummation is not conditioned on the availability of third party financing (a “Limited Conditionality Acquisition”), the date of

B-7


		determination thereof shall, at the Borrower’s option, be the date of entering into the binding definitive agreement for such acquisition and shall be made giving pro forma effect to such acquisition and the other transactions (including the incurrence of indebtedness) to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the applicable test period; provided that (x) such indebtedness (and any associated lien) shall be deemed incurred at the time of such selection and outstanding thereafter for the purposes of pro forma compliance with any applicable ratios and (y) for purposes of any calculation of any ratio with respect to the incurrence of any other debt or liens, or the making of any other acquisition, investment, restricted payment, junior debt repayment or other transaction subject to ratio compliance on or following such date and prior to the consummation of such Limited Conditionality Acquisition (or termination of the definitive agreement with respect thereto), any such ratio shall also be required to be calculated without giving effect to such Limited Conditionality Acquisition.

Guaranties:		Each direct and indirect material subsidiary and each “Qualifying Subsidiary” (as defined below) of the Borrower (each, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”) shall be required to provide an unconditional guaranty (collectively, the “Guaranties”) of all amounts owing under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and, to the extent so designated by the Borrower as “Secured Hedging Agreements”, the obligations of the Borrower under interest rate and/or foreign currency swaps or similar agreements with a Lender or its affiliates or the Administrative Agent or its affiliates (the “Secured Hedging Agreements”). Such Guaranties shall be guarantees of payment and not of collection. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above (i) no “unrestricted subsidiary” (designated as provided below under the heading “Unrestricted Subsidiaries”) or Excluded Foreign Subsidiary (as defined below) shall be required to provide a Guaranty (or constitute a Guarantor) and (ii) no subsidiary of the Borrower that is not an “Eligible Contract Participant” (after giving effect to any keepwell) as defined under the Commodity Exchange Act shall be required to provide a Guaranty (or constitute a Guarantor) with respect to (and solely with respect to) obligations under any Secured Hedging Agreement that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of section 1(a)(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

		As used herein, (I) “Excluded Foreign Subsidiary” means (a) any direct or indirect non-U.S. subsidiary of the Borrower which is a “controlled foreign corporation” (within the meaning of Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code) (each, a “CFC”), (b) any direct or indirect U.S. subsidiary of the Borrower that is treated as a “disregarded entity” for federal income tax purposes the sole assets of which are equity interests in CFCs (each, a “Pass-Through Foreign Holdco”) or other Pass-Through

B-8


		Foreign Holdcos and (c) any direct or indirect subsidiary of a CFC or Pass-Through Foreign Holdco and (II) “Qualifying Subsidiary” means any restricted subsidiary that has guaranteed permitted convertible notes, permitted senior unsecured notes and permitted unsecured indebtedness.

Security:		All amounts owing under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and (if applicable) the Secured Hedging Agreements (and all obligations under the Guaranties) will be secured by (x) a first-priority perfected security interest in all stock, other equity interests and promissory notes owned by the Borrower and the Guarantors; provided that not more than 65% of the total outstanding voting stock of any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to be pledged, and (y) a first-priority perfected security interest in all other tangible and intangible assets (including, without limitation, receivables, inventory, equipment, contract rights, securities, patents, trademarks, other intellectual property, cash, bank and securities deposit accounts, real estate and leasehold interests) owned by the Borrower and the Guarantors (all of the foregoing, the “Collateral”), in each case as may be subject to liens permitted by the Senior Secured Credit Documentation (including liens on assets of the Acquired Business permitted to remain outstanding after the Closing Date under the Acquisition Agreement).

		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Collateral shall exclude the following: (i) any fee owned real property with a value of less than an amount to be mutually agreed (with any required mortgages on properties with a value greater than such amount being permitted to be delivered post-closing) and immaterial leaseholds; (ii) equity interests of non-wholly owned subsidiaries and joint ventures, to the extent prohibited under the organizational documents of such non-wholly owned subsidiaries or joint ventures; (iii) licenses, instruments and agreements (including any governmental licenses or state or local franchises, charters and authorizations) to the extent, and so long as, the pledge thereof as Collateral would violate the terms thereof, but only, to the extent, and for so long as, such prohibition is not terminated or rendered unenforceable or otherwise deemed ineffective by the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”), Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or any other requirement of law and other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the UCC or other applicable law notwithstanding such prohibition or limitation; (iv) motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificate of title to the extent that a security interest therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement, (v) other assets to the extent the pledge thereof is prohibited by applicable law, but only to the extent, and for so long as, such prohibition is not terminated or rendered unenforceable or otherwise deemed ineffective by the UCC, Bankruptcy Code or any other

B-9


		requirement of law and other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the UCC or other applicable law notwithstanding such prohibition or limitation; (vi) intent to use trademark or service xxxx applications; (vii) those assets as to which the Administrative Agent shall determine that the costs of obtaining such security interest or perfection thereof are excessive in relation to the value of the security to be afforded thereby; (viii) any payroll accounts, employee wage and benefit accounts, tax accounts, escrow accounts, or fiduciary or trust accounts; (ix) any voting equity interests of a CFC or a Pass-Through Foreign Holdco in excess of 65% of the total outstanding voting equity interests thereof; and (x) assets to the extent a security interest in such assets would result in material adverse tax consequences to the Borrower or any Guarantor (including, without limitation, as a result of the operation of Section 956 of the IRS Code or any similar law or regulation in any applicable jurisdiction) as reasonably determined by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in good faith.

		All documentation (collectively referred to herein as the “Security Agreements”) evidencing the security required pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and shall effectively create first-priority security interests in the property purported to be covered thereby, with such exceptions as are acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

		Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements of the preceding paragraphs of this “Security” section shall be, as of the Closing Date, subject to the Funds Certain Provisions.

Optional Commitment Reductions:		The unutilized portion of the total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility may, upon three business days’ notice, be reduced or terminated by the Borrower without penalty in minimum amounts to be mutually agreed.

Voluntary Prepayments:		Voluntary prepayments may be made at any time on three business days’ notice in the case of LIBOR Loans, or one business day’s notice in the case of Base Rate Loans (or same day notice in the case of Swingline Loans), without premium or penalty (subject, however, to the Prepayment Premium referred to below), in minimum principal amounts to be mutually agreed; provided that voluntary prepayments of LIBOR Loans made on a date other than the last day of an interest period applicable thereto shall be subject to customary breakage costs. Voluntary prepayments of Term Loans shall apply to reduce future scheduled amortization payments of the Term Loans in direct order of maturity.

B-10


Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions:		Mandatory repayments of Term Loans shall be required from (a) 100% of the proceeds (net of taxes and costs and expenses in connection with the sale) from asset sales by the Borrower and its subsidiaries (including sales or issuances of equity interests of any subsidiary of the Borrower) in excess of an amount to be agreed but subject to certain ordinary course exceptions and reinvestment rights to be mutually agreed, (b) 100% of the net proceeds from issuances or incurrences of debt (including any Refinancing Facilities (as defined below) but with appropriate exceptions to be mutually agreed) by the Borrower and its subsidiaries, (c) commencing with the first full fiscal year of the Borrower to occur after the Closing Date, 50% (reducing, so long as no default or event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is in existence, to 25% and 0% based on meeting specified leverage tests to be mutually agreed) of annual Excess Cash Flow (to be defined to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and to include, in any event, deductions for certain investments and capital expenditures financed with internally generated cash) of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, with any such required repayment amount to be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of voluntary prepayments of Loans made with internally generated funds during the applicable year (excluding Swingline Loans but including Revolving Loans, solely to the extent commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility are permanently reduced by the amount of such repayments) and (d) 100% of the net proceeds from insurance recovery and condemnation events of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (subject to certain reinvestment rights and a materiality threshold to be mutually agreed).

		All mandatory repayments of Term Loans made pursuant to clauses (a) through (d), inclusive, above shall (subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph) apply to reduce future scheduled amortization payments of the Term Loans in direct order of maturity. If the amount of any mandatory repayment which would otherwise be required as provided above exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans then outstanding, such excess shall be applied to repay Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans. In addition, (i) if at any time the outstandings pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility (including Letter of Credit outstandings and Swingline Loans) exceed the aggregate commitments with respect thereto, prepayments of Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans (and/or the cash collateralization of Letters of Credit) shall be required in an amount equal to such excess and (ii) after giving effect to the consummation of the Transaction on the Closing Date, all commitments under the Term Loan Facility (if any) not required to finance the Transaction shall be terminated in their entirety.

		Any Lender (each, a “Declining Lender”) may elect not to accept any mandatory prepayment pursuant to clause (a), (c) or (d) above. Any prepayment amount declined by a Declining Lender (such declined

B-11


		payment, the “Declined Proceeds”) shall first be applied to the prepayment of Term Loans owed to non-Declining Lenders, with any remaining amount of Declined Proceeds after such application to be retained by the Borrower.

Prepayment Premium:		The occurrence of any Repricing Event (as defined below) with respect to Term Loans, in each case prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, will require payment of a fee (the “Prepayment Premium”) of an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount of the Term Loans subject to such Repricing Event.

		As used herein, the term “Repricing Event” shall mean, other than in connection with any transaction involving a Change of Control or a Transformative Acquisition (each, to be defined), (i) any prepayment or repayment of Term Loans with the proceeds of, or any conversion of Term Loans into, any new or replacement indebtedness bearing interest with an “effective yield” (taking into account, for example, upfront fees, interest rate spreads, interest rate benchmark floors and original issue discount) less than the “effective yield” applicable to the Term Loans subject to such event (as such comparative yields are determined by the Administrative Agent) and (ii) any amendment to Senior Secured Credit Documentation which reduces the “effective yield” applicable to the Term Loans (it being understood that any prepayment premium with respect to a Repricing Event shall apply to any required assignment by a non-consenting Lender in connection with any such amendment pursuant to so-called yank-a-bank provisions).

Senior Secured Credit Documentation:		The definitive financing documentation for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Documentation”) shall be based on that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2013, among Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the borrower, the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified through the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), and shall contain the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter and such other terms as the Borrower and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall agree; it being understood and agreed that the Senior Secured Credit Documentation shall: (a) not contain any conditions as to the availability and initial funding of the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility on the Closing Date other than the applicable conditions set forth under the heading “Conditions Precedent” below and in Exhibit C to the Commitment Letter, in each case, subject to the Certain Funds Provisions; (b) be subject to the modifications expressly contemplated by the “Market Flex” provisions in the Fee Letter; (c) contain only those mandatory prepayments,

B-12


		representations and warranties, affirmative, financial and negative covenants and events of default expressly set forth in this Term Sheet, in each case, applicable to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries and subject to standards, qualifications, thresholds, exceptions for materiality or otherwise and “baskets,” grace and cure periods as may be mutually agreed between the Borrower and the Joint Lead Arrangers; (d) give due regard to the customary operational and administrative agency provisions of the Administrative Agent; (e) be negotiated in good faith by the Borrower and the Agents so that the Senior Secured Credit Documentation, giving effect to the Certain Funds Provisions, is finalized as promptly as practicable after the acceptance of the Commitment Letter; and (f) be mutually agreed by the Borrower and the Agents.

Refinancing Facilities; Refinancing Notes:		The Borrower shall have the right to refinance and/or replace the Term Loans (and loans under any Incremental Term Facility) or Revolving Loans and commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility (and loans and commitments under any Incremental Revolving Facility) in whole or in part with (x) one or more new term facilities (each, a “Refinancing Term Facility”) or new revolving credit facilities (each, a “Refinancing Revolving Facility” and, together with any Refinancing Term Facility, a “Refinancing Facility” or the “Refinancing Facilities”) under the Senior Secured Credit Documentation, in each case, with the consent of the Borrower and the institutions providing such Refinancing Facility and/or (y) one or more series of notes or loans, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), that will be pari passu or junior in right of payment and be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu or junior basis with the remaining portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or be unsecured (such notes or loans, the “Refinancing Notes”); provided, that (a) any Refinancing Facility or issue of Refinancing Notes that is pari passu or junior with respect to the security shall be subject to a customary intercreditor agreement, the terms of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, (b) no Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Notes shall mature prior to the maturity date of the applicable term loans being refinanced or replaced, and, in the case of any term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Documentation, no Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Notes shall have a shorter weighted average life to maturity than, or, with respect to Refinancing Notes, have mandatory prepayment provisions (other than related to customary asset sale and change of control offers) that could result in prepayments of such Refinancing Notes prior to, the term loans being refinanced or replaced, (c) no Refinancing Revolving Facility shall mature (or require commitment reductions) prior to the maturity date of the Revolving Loans or commitments being refinanced, (d) such Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes shall have pricing (including interest, fees and premiums), optional prepayment and redemption terms as may be

B-13


		agreed to by the Borrower and the lenders party thereto, (e) such Refinancing Facility or series of Refinancing Notes shall not be secured by any assets other than the Collateral, (f) such Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes shall not be guaranteed by any person other than the Guarantors, (g) the other terms and conditions (excluding those referenced in clauses (b) through (f) above) of such Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes shall be substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) no more favorable (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) to the lenders providing such Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes than, those applicable to the loans or commitments being refinanced or replaced (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest final maturity date of the relevant loans or commitments existing at the time of such refinancing or replacement), (h) the aggregate principal amount of any Refinancing Facility or any Refinancing Notes shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness and commitments being refinanced or replaced therewith, plus interest, premiums, fees and expenses or to the extent otherwise permitted under the Senior Secured Credit Documentation, (i) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Facility, the Senior Secured Credit Documentation shall include certain provisions to govern the pro rata payment, borrowing, participation and commitment reduction of the Revolving Facility and any such Refinancing Revolving Facility, and (h) only a Refinancing Term Facility that is pari passu in right of payment and security with the Term Loan Facility and shall share ratably in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the term loans being refinanced unless the Borrower and the lenders in respect of such Refinancing Term Facility elect lesser payments.

Interest Rates:		At the Borrower’s option, Loans may be maintained from time to time as (x) Base Rate Loans, which shall bear interest at the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin (as defined below) or (y) LIBOR Loans, which shall bear interest at LIBOR (adjusted for statutory reserve requirements) as determined by the Administrative Agent for the respective interest period (but, in the case of Term Loans only, no less than 0.75%), plus the Applicable Margin, provided, that all Swingline Loans shall bear interest based upon the Base Rate.

		“Applicable Margin” shall mean a percentage per annum equal to (i) in the case of Term Loans (A) maintained as Base Rate Loans, 2.50%, and (B) maintained as LIBOR Loans, 3.50%; (ii) in the case of Revolving Loans (A) maintained as Base Rate Loans, 2.00%, and (B) maintained as LIBOR Loans, 3.00%; and (iii) in the case of Swingline Loans, 2.00%; provided that so long as no default or event of default exists under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (and, in any event, not commencing until the delivery of the Borrower’s financial statements in respect of its first full fiscal quarter ending at least six months after the

B-14


		Closing Date), the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans shall be subject to two step-downs of 0.25% each based on meeting specified Total Net Leverage Ratio tests to be mutually agreed.

		“Base Rate” shall mean the highest of (x) the rate that the Administrative Agent announces from time to time as its prime lending rate, as in effect from time to time, (y) 1/2 of 1% in excess of the overnight federal funds rate, and (z) LIBOR for an interest period of one month (determined after giving effect to any applicable “floor”) plus 1.00%.

		Interest periods of 1, 2, 3 and 6 months or, to the extent agreed to by all Lenders with commitments and/or Loans under a given tranche of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, 12 months, shall be available in the case of LIBOR Loans.

		Interest in respect of Base Rate Loans shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last business day of each calendar quarter. Interest in respect of LIBOR Loans shall be payable in arrears at the end of the applicable interest period and every three months in the case of interest periods in excess of three months. Interest will also be payable at the time of repayment of any Loans and at maturity. All interest on Base Rate Loans, LIBOR Loans and commitment fees and any other fees shall be based on a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (or, in the case of Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the prime lending rate, a 365/366-day year and actual days elapsed).

Default Interest:		Overdue principal, interest and other overdue amounts shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2.0% in excess of the rate then borne by the applicable borrowing (or, if any such amount does not relate to a borrowing under a specific tranche of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the rate which is 2.0% in excess of the rate applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans). Such interest shall be payable on demand.

Commitment Fee:	A commitment fee, at a per annum rate of 0.35%, on the daily undrawn portion of the commitments of each Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility (for such purpose, disregarding outstanding Swingline Loans as a utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility), will commence accruing on the Closing Date and will be payable quarterly in arrears; provided that so long as no default or event of default exists under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (and, in any event, not commencing until the delivery of the Borrower’s financial statements in respect of its first full fiscal quarter ending at least six months after the Closing Date), such commitment fee shall be subject to two step-downs of 0.05% each based on meeting specified Total Net Leverage Ratio tests to be mutually agreed.

Letter of Credit Fees:	A letter of credit fee equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as LIBOR Loans on the outstanding stated amount of Letters of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) to be shared proportionately by the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility in accordance with their participation in the respective Letter of Credit, and a facing fee of 1/8 of 1% per annum (the “Facing Fee”) to be paid to the issuer of each Letter of Credit for its own account, in each case calculated on the aggregate stated amount of all Letters of Credit for the stated duration thereof. Letter of Credit Fees and Facing Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, the issuer of a Letter of Credit will be paid its customary administrative charges in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it.

Agent/Lender Fees:	The Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders shall receive such fees as have been separately agreed upon.

		Those conditions precedent set forth in clause (B)(i) below and on Exhibit C to the Commitment Letter.

	B.	To All Loans and Letters of Credit:

	(i)	All representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in all respects, if qualified by materiality) on and as of the date of each borrowing of a Loan and each issuance of a Letter of Credit (although any representations and warranties which expressly relate to a given date or period shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects (or, in

B-16

The Available Amount Basket may be used for, among other things, dividends, investments, acquisitions, junior debt and subordinated debt repayments and other distributions, subject to the absence of a default or any event of default and pro forma compliance with a Total Net Leverage Ratio to be mutually agreed.

Limited to the following and applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility only: maintenance of a Total Net Leverage Ratio and an Interest

B-19


		Coverage Ratio (as defined below), in each case, of a specified level to be mutually agreed for the term of the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Financial Covenants”). The Financial Covenants shall be tested quarterly and be set with a cushion of 30% off model projections delivered to the Joint Lead Arrangers prior to the date of the Commitment Letter. For purposes hereof, “Interest Coverage Ratio” means, on any date of determination, with respect to the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, the ratio of (a) Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its subsidiaries to (b) consolidated interest expense of the Borrower and its subsidiaries paid or payable in cash, in each case, for the four fiscal quarter period most recently ended for which financial statements have been (or were required to have been) delivered.

Unrestricted Subsidiaries:		The Senior Secured Credit Documentation will contain provisions pursuant to which, subject to no default or event of default, limitations on investments, pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenants (whether or not then in effect) and other conditions to be mutually agreed, the Borrower will be permitted to designate any existing or subsequently acquired or organized subsidiary as an “unrestricted subsidiary” and subsequently re-designate any such unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary; provided that (i) any subsidiary previously designated as an unrestricted subsidiary may not thereafter be re-designated as an unrestricted subsidiary, and (ii) no subsidiary may be designated as an unrestricted subsidiary, unless it is also an “unrestricted subsidiary” for purposes of other material debt. The designation of any subsidiary as an “unrestricted” subsidiary shall constitute an investment for purposes of the investment covenant in the Senior Secured Credit Documentation in an amount equal to the fair market value thereof, and the designation of any unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary shall be deemed to be an incurrence of indebtedness and liens by a restricted subsidiary of any outstanding indebtedness or liens, as applicable, of such unrestricted subsidiary for purposes of the Senior Secured Credit Documentation. With limited exceptions to be mutually agreed, unrestricted subsidiaries will not be subject to the representations and warranties, affirmative or negative covenants or events of default provisions of the Senior Secured Credit Documentation, and the cash held by, the results of operations, indebtedness and interest expense of unrestricted subsidiaries will not be taken into account for purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenants or financial tests contained in such Senior Secured Credit Documentation; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, unrestricted subsidiaries will be subject to representations and warranties, covenants and event of default provisions of the Senior Secured Credit Documentation with respect to matters related to Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, OFAC and other sanctions, anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering laws.

B-20


Events of Default:		Events of Default (to be applicable to the Borrower and its subsidiaries) will be limited to the following, in each case (where applicable), with materiality thresholds, exceptions and qualifications to be mutually agreed: (i) nonpayment of principal or Letter of Credit drawings when due or interest, fees or other amounts after a grace period to be mutually agreed; (ii) any representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect in any material respect (or, in any respect, if qualified by materiality) when made or confirmed; (iii) failure to perform or observe covenants set forth in the Senior Secured Credit Documentation, subject (where customary and appropriate) to notice and an appropriate grace period to be mutually agreed; (iv) cross-defaults and cross-acceleration to other indebtedness in an amount to be mutually agreed; (v) bankruptcy, insolvency proceedings, etc. (with a grace period for involuntary proceedings to be mutually agreed); (vi) inability to pay debts, attachment, etc.; (vii) judgment defaults in an amount to be mutually agreed; (viii) customary ERISA defaults; (ix) actual or asserted invalidity of Senior Secured Credit Documentation or subordination provisions or impairment of security interests in the Collateral; and (x) Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach of the Financial Covenants as a “financial maintenance covenant” (and not as a separate governor for other conditions, baskets, etc.) shall not constitute an event of default for the purposes of the Term Loan Facility, unless the Required Revolving Lenders (as defined below) have accelerated the Revolving Credit Facility and/or terminated the commitments in respect thereof as a result of such breach.

Assignments and Participations:		The Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Any Lender may assign, and may sell participations in, its rights and obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, subject (x) in the case of participations, to customary restrictions on the voting rights of the participants and restrictions on participations to the Borrower and its affiliates and (y) in the case of assignments, to such limitations as may be established by the Administrative Agent (including (i) a minimum assignment amount of $1.0 million in the case of any Term Loan and $5.0 million in the case of any Loans and/or commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility (or, if less, the entire amount of such assignor’s commitments and outstanding Loans at such time), (ii) an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 to be paid by the respective assignor or assignee to the Administrative Agent, (iii) restrictions on assignments to any entity that is not an Eligible Transferee (to be defined to exclude Disqualified Institutions (to the extent the identity of such Disqualified Institution has been made available by the Borrower to all Lenders), natural

B-21


		persons and, except in connection with a Borrower Buy-Back (as defined below), the Borrower and its affiliates), (iv) except in the case of an assignment to any Lender, its affiliates or an “approved fund” of a Lender, the receipt of the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no default or event of default exists under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Borrower (such consent, in any such case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided that such consent of the Borrower shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within ten business days of a request for such consents, and (v) in the case of the assignment of any commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, the consent of the Swingline Lender and each Primary Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit (such consent, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities shall provide for a mechanism which will allow for each assignee to become a direct signatory to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and will relieve the assigning Lender of its obligations with respect to the assigned portion of its commitment and/or Loans, as applicable. Assignments will be by novation and will not be required to be pro rata among the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any person is a Disqualified Institution, and the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability (or duties) with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of loans to, or the restrictions on any exercise of any rights or remedies of, any Disqualified Institution. The Senior Secured Credit Documentation shall provide that Term Loans may be purchased by, and assigned to, the Borrower on a non-pro rata basis through Dutch auctions open to all Lenders with Term Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures to be agreed; provided that (i) no default or event of default then exists under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or would result therefrom, (ii) any such purchase is made at a discount to par, (iii) the Borrower shall make a representation that it is not in possession of any material non-public information, (iv) any such Term Loans shall be automatically and permanently cancelled immediately upon purchase by the Borrower, (v) the Borrower shall not be permitted to use the proceeds of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans to purchase Term Loans, and (vi) other conditions as may be required by the Administrative Agent (any such purchase and assignment, a “Borrower Buy-Back”).

Waivers and Amendments:		Amendments and waivers of the provisions of the Senior Secured Credit Documentation will require the approval of Lenders holding commitments and/or outstandings (as appropriate) representing more than 50% of the aggregate commitments and outstandings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “Required Lenders”), except that (a) the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby will be required

B-22

with respect to (i) increases in commitment amounts of such Lender, (ii) reductions of principal, interest or fees of such Lender, (iii) extensions of scheduled payments of any Loans (including at final maturity) or times for payment of interest or fees of such Lender, (iv) amendments to the collateral proceeds waterfall and (v) modifications to the pro rata sharing and payment provisions, assignment provisions or the voting percentages, (b) the consent of all of the Lenders shall be required with respect to releases of all or substantially all of the Collateral or the value of the Guaranties provided by the Guarantors taken as a whole, (c) the consent of each Letter of Credit issuer, the Swingline Lender and/or the Administrative Agent shall, as applicable, be required with respect to any amendment that adversely affects their respective rights and duties and (d) class voting rights for Lenders under each affected tranche of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities shall be required for certain types of amendments and waivers; provided that if any of the matters described in clause (a) or (b) above is agreed to by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall have the right to either (x) substitute any non-consenting Lender by having its Loans and commitments assigned, at par, to one or more other institutions, subject to the assignment provisions described above or (y) with the express written consent of the Required Lenders, terminate the commitment of, and repay the obligations owing to, any non-consenting Lender, subject to repayment in full of all obligations of the Borrower owed to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender (including any Prepayment Premium).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments to and waivers of the Financial Covenants (solely as it applies to the Financial Covenants as “financial maintenance covenants” (and not as a separate governor for other conditions, baskets etc.)) and defined terms as used therein shall only require the approval of Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the commitments and/or outstandings under the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Required Revolving Lenders”).

In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Documentation shall provide for the amendment (or amendment and restatement) of the Senior Secured Credit Documentation to provide for a new tranche of replacement term loans to replace all or a portion of the term loans of a given tranche under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, subject to customary limitations (including as to tenor, weighted average life to maturity, “effective yield” not exceeding that applicable to the tranche of term loans so replaced, prepayment ratability provisions and applicable covenants prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date), with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the lenders providing such replacement term loans.

B-23


		The Senior Secured Credit Documentation will contain customary “amend and extend” provisions pursuant to which the Borrower, with the approval of consenting Lenders, may extend the maturity of Term Loans of such consenting Lenders and, in connection therewith, amend the interest rates, yield, fees, amortization (so long as the weighted average life to maturity is not shortened) and prepayment provisions applicable to such extended Term Loans; provided that the application of voluntary and mandatory prepayments shall not be on a greater than pro rata basis with any non-extending Term Loans.

Defaulting Lenders:		If any Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility becomes a Defaulting Lender (to be defined on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) at any time, then, so long as no default or event of default then exists, the exposure of such Defaulting Lender with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit will automatically be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility pro rata in accordance with their commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility up to an amount such that the aggregate credit exposure of such non-Defaulting Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility does not exceed its commitment thereunder. In the event such reallocation does not fully cover the exposure of such Defaulting Lender (or such reallocation is not then permitted), the Swingline Lender or applicable Letter of Credit issuer may require the Borrower to repay or cash collateralize, as applicable, such “uncovered” exposure in respect of the Swingline Loans or Letter of Credit outstandings, as the case may be, and will have no obligation to make new Swingline Loans or issue new Letters of Credit, as applicable, to the extent such Swingline Loans or Letter of Credit outstandings, as applicable, would exceed the unused commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Indemnification; Expenses:		The Senior Secured Credit Documentation will contain customary indemnities for the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Lenders and their respective affiliates and controlling persons and the employees, officers, agents and advisors of the foregoing as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Lenders incurred after the occurrence, and during the continuance of, an event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities); provided that the Borrower shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, one regulatory counsel in each applicable specialty, one local or foreign counsel for each relevant jurisdiction, one other counsel for all other Lenders and their respective affiliates, employees, officers and agents and, in each case, if reasonably necessary or advisable in the judgment of the affected person in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, an additional regulatory counsel in each applicable specialty and one additional local or foreign counsel in each such applicable jurisdiction,

B-24


		in each case other than as a result of such person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. The Senior Secured Credit Documentation will require the Borrower to pay all reasonable and documented expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, each issuer of Letters of Credit, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders associated with the syndication of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Senior Secured Credit Documentation and any amendment or waiver with respect thereto and in connection with the enforcement of the Senior Secured Credit Documentation.

Governing Law and Forum:		All Senior Secured Credit Documentation shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York (except security documentation that the Administrative Agent determines should be governed by local or foreign law). The Borrower and the Guarantors will submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any New York State court or Federal court sitting in the County of New York, Borough of Manhattan, and appellate courts thereof (except to the extent the Administrative Agent requires submission to any other jurisdiction in connection with the exercise of any rights under any security document or the enforcement of any judgment).

Summary of Additional Conditions Precedent

Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit C but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the commitment letter to which this Exhibit C is attached (the “Commitment Letter”) and in the other Exhibits to the Commitment Letter. In the case of any such capitalized term that is subject to multiple and differing definitions, the appropriate meaning thereof in this Exhibit C shall be determined by reference to the context in which it is used.

The initial borrowing under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities shall be subject to the following additional conditions precedent:

1. The Initial Lenders’ commitments under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will be subject to the execution and delivery by the Borrower and Guarantors of definitive Senior Secured Credit Documentation consistent with the terms of the Commitment Letter and the Term Sheet and this Summary of Additional Conditions Precedent, in each case prepared by counsel to the Agents.

Concurrently with the initial funding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Acquisition shall have been consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, and the Acquisition Agreement shall not have been amended, modified, supplemented or any provision or condition therein waived by the Borrower, and neither the Borrower nor any affiliate thereof shall have consented to any action which would require the consent of the Borrower or such affiliate under the Acquisition Agreement, if such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent would be adverse to the interests of the Lenders in any material respect, in any such case without the prior written consent of the Agents (it being understood and agreed that any amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent (a) that decreases the purchase price in respect of the Acquisition shall not be deemed to be adverse to the interests of the Lenders in any material respect, so long as such decrease is allocated to reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility, (b) that results in any increase in the purchase price in respect of the Acquisition shall not be deemed to be adverse to the interests of the Lenders in any material respect, so long as such increase is funded solely by an issuance of common equity interests of the Borrower, and (c) of the Minimum Condition (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof) shall be deemed to be adverse to the interests of the Lenders in a material respect).

3. (a) Except as set forth in the forms, documents and reports required to be filed or furnished prior to the date hereof by the Target with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filed or furnished with the SEC since December 31, 2013 (including exhibits and other information incorporated by reference therein) and publicly available prior to the date hereof on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (but

excluding any forward-looking disclosures set forth in any “risk factors” section, any disclosures in any “forward-looking statements” section and any other disclosures included therein to the extent they are predictive or forward-looking in nature) where the applicability of such disclosure as an exception to a particular representation is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure or in the Company Disclosure Letter (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement on the date hereof), from December 28, 2014 through the date of the Acquisition Agreement there has not occurred any event, development, occurrence, or change that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Target Material Adverse Effect and (b) no change, event or effect shall have arisen or occurred following the date of the Acquisition Agreement and be continuing as of immediately prior to the expiration of the Tender Offer, which, individually or in the aggregate, constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to constitute, a Target Material Adverse Effect.

4. All obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations for which no claim has been made) of the Borrower, its subsidiaries and the Acquired Business with respect to the indebtedness being refinanced pursuant to the Refinancing shall have been paid in full (or irrevocable notice for the repayment or redemption thereof will be given and accompanied by any prepayments or deposits required to defease, terminate and satisfy in full any related indentures or notes), and all commitments, security interests and guaranties in connection therewith shall have been terminated and released. After giving effect to the consummation of the Transaction, the Borrower and its subsidiaries shall have no outstanding preferred equity or indebtedness, except for (i) indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit

C-2

Facilities, (ii) ordinary course capital leases, purchase money indebtedness, equipment financings, letters of credit and surety bonds permitted by the Existing Credit Agreement, (iii) indebtedness incurred pursuant to any current and noncurrent “Long-term debt” identified in the Borrower’s most recent 10-Q (and the footnotes thereto) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (except for the Existing Credit Agreement), (iv) indebtedness of the Acquired Business permitted to remain outstanding under the Acquisition Agreement (after the consummation of the Transaction), and (v) such other existing indebtedness, if any, as shall be permitted by the Joint Lead Arrangers (the indebtedness described in clauses (ii) through (v), the “Permitted Surviving Indebtedness”).

5. Subject to the Certain Funds Provision, the Guaranties and Security Agreements required by the Term Sheet shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower and Guarantors and, subject to the Funds Certain Provisions, the Lenders shall have a perfected security interest in all assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors constituting Collateral as, and to the extent, required by the Term Sheet.
