AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (hereinafter referred to as this “Agreement”), dated as of December 13, 2015, among Jarden Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Rubbermaid Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), NCPF Acquisition Corp. I, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and NCPF Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Successor Sub”).

RECITALS

A. The parties wish to effect a business combination through (i) the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity (the “First Merger”), and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, the merger of the Company, as the surviving entity of the First Merger, with and into Successor Sub, with Successor Sub being the surviving entity (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”);

B. The board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”), the board of directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”), the board of directors of Merger Sub and the board of directors of Successor Sub have each unanimously determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and stockholders to consummate the Mergers;

C. The parties intend that the Mergers will qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code and that this Agreement will constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the Code; and

D. The parties desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Mergers and also to prescribe certain conditions precedent to consummation of the Mergers.

Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which hereby is acknowledged, Parent, the Company, Merger Sub and Successor Sub, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

I. THE MERGERS; CLOSING; EFFECTIVE TIME

1.1. The Mergers. On the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), (a) at the First Effective Time, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, with the Company surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (the Company, as the surviving entity in the First Merger, sometimes being referred to herein as the “First Surviving Corporation”), and (b)

immediately after the First Effective Time, and as part of the same plan of reorganization, at the Second Effective Time, the First Surviving Corporation will be merged with and into Successor Sub, whereupon the separate existence of the First Surviving Corporation will cease, with Successor Sub surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (Successor Sub, as the surviving entity of the Second Merger, sometimes being referred to herein as the “Ultimate Surviving Corporation”). The Mergers will have the effects provided in this Agreement and as specified in Section 259 of the DGCL.

1.2. Closing. Unless Parent and the Company agree otherwise in writing, the closings of the Mergers (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇ Day, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, at 9:30 a.m. local time on the 12^th Business Day following the day on which the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) have been satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement, provided, that in no event may the Closing take place prior to March 31, 2016. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

1.3. Effective Times. Prior to the Closing, the parties will have prepared, and on the Closing Date, the parties will cause (a) a certificate of merger with respect to the First Merger (the “First Certificate of Merger”) to be duly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as provided under the DGCL and make all other filings, recordings and publications required to be made by the Company or Merger Sub under the DGCL in connection with the First Merger and (b) immediately following the First Effective Time, a certificate of merger with respect to the Second Merger (the “Second Certificate of Merger”) to be duly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as provided under the DGCL and make all other filings, recordings and publications required to be made by the First Surviving Corporation or Successor Sub under the DGCL in connection with the Second Merger. The First Merger will become effective at such time as the First Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or on such later date and time as may be agreed upon by the Company and Parent and expressly set forth in the First Certificate of Merger (such date and time being hereinafter referred to as the “First Effective Time”). The Second Merger will become effective at such time as the Second Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or on such later date and time as may be agreed upon by the Company and Parent and expressly set forth in the Second Certificate of Merger (such date and time being hereinafter referred to as the “Second Effective Time”). The First Effective Time will, in all events, precede the Second Effective Time.

1.4. Governing Documents. (a) At the First Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be amended and restated in their entirety to read as the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub (except as to the name of the Company, which will be Jarden Corporation, the name of the incorporator, which will be deleted, the name of the registered agent and the address of the registered office) and, as so amended, will be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the First Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(b) At the Second Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Successor Sub in effect immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Ultimate Surviving Corporation (except as to the name of the Ultimate Surviving Corporation, which will be Jarden Corporation) until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

1.5. Directors and Officers of the Surviving Entities. (a) From and immediately after the First Effective Time, (i) the officers of Merger Sub will be the officers of the First Surviving Corporation and (ii) the directors of Merger Sub will be the initial directors of the First Surviving Corporation, in each case, until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, incapacity, resignation or removal.

(b) From and immediately after the Second Effective Time, (i) the officers of the First Surviving Corporation will be the officers of the Ultimate Surviving Corporation and (ii) the directors of the First Surviving Corporation will be the initial directors of the Ultimate Surviving Corporation, in each case, until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, incapacity, resignation or removal.

1.6. Plan of Reorganization. The parties intend that, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Mergers, taken together, will constitute integrated steps in a single “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3, which plan of reorganization the parties adopted by executing this Agreement.

II. EFFECT OF THE MERGERS; EXCHANGE

2.1. Effect on Capital Stock. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub, Successor Sub, Parent or the holders of any securities of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or Successor Sub:

(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”, and each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than an Excluded Share) will be converted into the right to receive, and become exchangeable for (i) a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Stock Consideration”), and (ii) $21.00 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Consideration” and, together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). At the First Effective Time, all Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) will cease to be outstanding, will be canceled and will cease to exist, and (i) each certificate that immediately prior to the First Effective Time represented any

such Shares (a “Certificate”) and (ii) each uncertificated Share represented by book entry on the stock transfer books of the Company (a “Book-Entry Share”), in each case, will thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and the right, if any, to receive pursuant to Section 2.3(e) cash in lieu of fractional shares into which such Shares have been converted pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) and any distribution or dividend pursuant to Section 2.3(c).

(b) Treatment of the Company Equity Awards. (i) Each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will, as of the First Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, fully vest (to the extent unvested) and, in exchange for the cancellation of such Company Option, entitle the holder thereof to receive, for each Net Option Share underlying each such Company Option, the Merger Consideration.

(ii) Each unvested Company Restricted Stock Award (other than a Rollover Restricted Stock Award) that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will, as of the First Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof become vested and be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration for each Share underlying such Company Restricted Stock Award.

(iii) Each Rollover Restricted Stock Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will, as of the First Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled in exchange for a restricted stock award covering a number of shares of Parent Common Stock, rounded up to the nearest whole share, equal to (A) the total number of Shares subject to such award of Rollover Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the First Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the sum of (1) the Stock Consideration plus (2)(I) the Cash Consideration divided by (II) the Parent Closing Price (a “Substitute Restricted Stock Award”). From and after the First Effective Time, each Substitute Restricted Stock Award will be subject to similar vesting conditions and payment terms as were applicable to such Rollover Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the First Effective Time, and the terms set forth in Section 4.1(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(iv) Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) will adopt resolutions providing for the treatment of the Company Options and the Company Restricted Stock Awards (collectively, the “Company Equity Awards”) as contemplated by this Section 2.1(b). As soon as practicable (but not later than ten Business Days) after the First Effective Time, Parent will prepare and file with the SEC a Form S-8 (or file such other appropriate form) registering a number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to fulfill Parent’s obligations under this Section 2.1(b).

(v) Payment of any cash amounts to be paid in respect of Company Equity Awards may be made through the Ultimate Surviving Corporation’s payroll system.

(c) Treatment of the Company Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company Board or the appropriate committee thereof will take all reasonable actions, including adopting any necessary resolutions or amendments with respect to the Company ESPP, to (i) terminate the Company ESPP effective immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) provide that any offering period in progress on the Closing Date will be shortened in accordance with Section 24 of the Company ESPP such that the last day of such offering period will be the tenth Business Day prior to the Closing Date (the “Final Purchase Date”), with purchases made on the Final Purchase Date to be contingent on the Closing and (iii) avoid the commencement of any new offering period under the Company ESPP at or after the Final Purchase Date and prior to the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII or the First Effective Time.

(d) Merger Sub Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub will be automatically converted into and become one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the First Surviving Corporation.

(e) Cancellation of Treasury and Parent Owned Shares of the Company. Each Share held in the treasury of the Company or held by Parent or any of the Company or Parent’s wholly owned Subsidiaries immediately prior to the First Effective Time (the “Canceled Shares”) will automatically be canceled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

2.2. Effect of Second Merger. At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of the First Surviving Corporation, Successor Sub, Parent or the holders of any securities of the First Surviving Corporation, Successor Sub or Parent, (a) each share of capital stock of the First Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will be canceled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered therefor and (b) each share of common stock of Successor Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will remain outstanding and will represent shares of common stock of the Ultimate Surviving Corporation.

2.3. Exchange of Shares and Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Not less than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent will designate a bank, trust company or nationally recognized stockholder services provider reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agent in respect of the Mergers (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging, in accordance with this Article II, Certificates and Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration. Parent will deliver to the Exchange Agent, as needed, (i) cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (together with any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.3(e), the “Exchange Fund”) and (ii) certificates or book-entry shares representing a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be delivered as the Stock Consideration in respect of the Shares. Parent will instruct

the Exchange Agent to timely pay the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement. The Exchange Fund will not be used for any purpose other than to fund the payments required pursuant to this Article II.

(b) Exchange Procedures. (i) As promptly as practicable after the First Effective Time, but in any event within two Business Days, Parent will cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Person who was, as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, a holder of record of Shares (other than the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)) entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a): (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Company (including a provision confirming that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title will pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal), and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such holder’s Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration issuable and payable in respect thereof pursuant to such letter of transmittal. Exchange of any Book-Entry Shares will be effected in accordance with the Exchange Agent’s customary procedures with respect to securities represented by book entry.

(ii) Upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share to the Exchange Agent for cancelation, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent (or in the case of DTC, the customary surrender procedures of DTC and the Exchange Agent), the holder of such Shares will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration, together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.3(e), and any distribution or dividend pursuant to Section 2.3(c). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made and shares may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate is properly endorsed or otherwise is in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment pays any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(c) Distributions with respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the First Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or uncanceled Book-Entry Share with respect to any shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares will be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.3(e), in each case until the surrender or cancelation of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this Article II. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender or cancelation of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this Article II, there will be paid to the holder of shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender or cancelation, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional

share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time but prior to such surrender or cancelation and a payment date subsequent to such surrender or cancelation payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in the Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange or cancelation of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Article II (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.3(b), Section 2.3(c) or Section 2.3(e)) will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares previously represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and there will be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares. If, after the First Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to Parent or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they will be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, except as otherwise provided by Law

(e) Fractional Shares. No certificates, receipts or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued upon the conversion of Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(a). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Shares converted pursuant to the First Merger who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all Shares held as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time by such holder) will receive, in lieu thereof, from the Exchange Agent an amount in cash (without interest) rounded up to the nearest whole cent equal to (i) the fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled to pursuant to Section 2.1(a) multiplied by (ii) the closing sale price of Parent Common Stock as reported on the NYSE on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Closing. As promptly as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash to be paid to holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, the Exchange Agent will make that amount available to those holders, without interest.

(f) Return of Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.3(a) that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares following the one-year anniversary of the First Effective Time will be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article II will thereafter be entitled to look only to Parent for payment of their claim for any shares of Parent Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock.

(g) No Liability. None of the parties hereto or the Exchange Agent will be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered

to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share has not been surrendered or canceled prior to seven years after the First Effective Time, or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any cash, any shares of Parent Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock or any dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such shares, cash, dividends or other distributions in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share will, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Investment of Merger Consideration. The Exchange Agent will invest the aggregate Cash Consideration delivered by Parent pursuant to Section 2.3(a) as directed by Parent in direct short-term obligations of (or direct short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by) the United States of America with maturities of no more than 30 days, in commercial paper rated “P-2” or “A-2” or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or S&P, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital in excess of $5 billion (determined by reference to the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), pending payment thereof by the Exchange Agent to the former holders of Shares as required pursuant to this Article II; provided, however, that no investment of such deposited cash funds will relieve Parent or Exchange Agent from promptly making the payments required by this Article II, and that no gain or losses on such investments will affect the cash payable to former holders of Shares pursuant to this Article II and following losses, if any, from any such investment, Parent will provide additional cash funds to the Exchange Agent, for the sole benefit of the former holders of Shares in an amount necessary to ensure that the funds available to the Exchange Agent are at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments to former holders pursuant to this Article II, which additional funds will be held and disbursed in the same manner as the requisite cash funds initially deposited with Exchange Agent. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments will be the property of and will be promptly paid to Parent.

(i) Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the parties and the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law, as determined by the parties in good faith. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to or deposited with the proper Governmental Entity, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(j) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary form and amount as

indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and unpaid dividends and other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, pursuant to this Agreement.

2.4. Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time that are held by any stockholder of the Company that is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such stockholder’s Shares pursuant to, and that complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) (the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(a), but, instead, such holder will be entitled to such rights as are granted by Section 262. At the First Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares will no longer be outstanding and automatically will be canceled and will cease to exist, and, except as otherwise provided by Law, each holder of Dissenting Shares will cease to have any rights with respect to the Dissenting Shares, other than such rights as are granted under Section 262. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder of Dissenting Shares fails to validly perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under Section 262, or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then, in each case, the rights of such holder under Section 262 will cease, and such Dissenting Shares will be deemed to have been converted at the First Effective Time into, and will have become, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(a). The Company will not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, which consent may be given or withheld by Parent in its sole discretion, voluntarily make (or cause or permit to be made on its behalf) any payment with respect to, or settle or make an offer to settle with, any holder of Dissenting Shares regarding its exercise of dissenter’s rights prior to the First Effective Time. The Company will give Parent notice of any such demands prior to the First Effective Time, and Parent will have the right to participate in all negotiations and Actions with respect to any exercise by any holder of Dissenting Shares of dissenters’ rights.

2.5. Certain Adjustments. If between the date of this Agreement and the First Effective Time, the outstanding Shares or shares of Parent Common Stock are changed into a different number of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, dividend payable in stock or other securities or other similar transaction, the Exchange Ratio and related provisions will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Shares and Parent Common Stock or the Company Equity Awards the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange, dividend or other similar transaction, except, that (i) nothing in this Section 2.3 will be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement and (ii) cash dividends, share repurchases and grants of equity compensation in each case made in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the terms hereof will not result in any adjustment to the Exchange Ratio.

2.6. Further Assurances. At and after the Second Effective Time, the officers and directors or managers, as applicable, of the Ultimate Surviving Corporation will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company, Merger Sub or Successor Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf thereof, any other actions and things necessary to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in Parent or the Ultimate Surviving Corporation, any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by Parent and the Ultimate Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Mergers.

III. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

3.1. Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as (x) set forth in any Company SEC Document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since January 1, 2014 and publicly available at least two Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement (as amended to the date of this Agreement, the “Company Filed SEC Documents”) (excluding any disclosures in any risk factors section that do not constitute statements of fact, disclosures in any forward-looking statements disclaimer and other disclosures that are generally cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature) (it being agreed that the exclusion in this clause (x) will not apply to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(c)) or (y) disclosed in the disclosure letter delivered by the Company to Parent concurrently with or prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”) and making reference to the particular subsection of this Agreement to which exception is being taken (provided, that such disclosure will be deemed to qualify that particular subsection and such other subsections of this Agreement to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that such disclosure also qualifies or applies to such other subsections), the Company represents and warrants to Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub as follows:

(a) Organization, Standing and Corporate Power.

(iv) Except for such matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, there is no (A) unfair labor practice, labor dispute or labor arbitration proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) lockout, strike, slowdown, work stoppage or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threat thereof by or with respect to any employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(v) Since January 1, 2013, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has complied with all Law relating to employment and employment practices, including wages, hours, collective bargaining, unemployment insurance, worker’s compensation, equal employment opportunity, classification of employees and contractors, age and disability discrimination, the payment of withholding Taxes, and the termination of employment, except to the extent that noncompliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, there are no complaints, charges or claims against the Company pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened to be brought or filed with any Governmental Entity based on, arising out of, in connection with, or otherwise relating to the employment of, or termination of employment by, the Company of any Person including Actions under the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.

(vi) The transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not require the consent of, or advance notification to, any works councils, unions or similar labor organizations with respect to employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than any such consents the failure of which to obtain or advance notifications the failure of which to provide as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, there are no complaints, charges or claims against Parent pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened to be brought or filed with any Governmental Entity based on, arising out of, in connection with, or otherwise relating to the employment of, or termination of employment by, Parent of any Person including Actions under the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.

(vi) The transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not require the consent of, or advance notification to, any works councils, unions or similar labor organizations with respect to employees of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, other than any such consents the failure of which to obtain or advance notifications the failure of which to provide as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Change in Recommendation Permitted in Certain Circumstances. Prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change solely in the manner and to the extent hereafter expressly set forth in this Section 4.2(e) in response to (x) a Company Superior Proposal that did not result from a violation of this Section 4.2 or (y) a Company Intervening Event, in each case only if the Company Board determines in good faith, After Consultation, that a failure to do so would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, at no time may the Company make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, unless: (i) the Company notifies Parent in writing of its intention to duly convene a meeting of the Company Board to consider making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, which notice to Parent must be delivered

by the Company within 24 hours after the Company determines to convene such meeting, but in any case, not less than five Business Days before such meeting is convened, and which notice will include, (x) if the meeting of the Company Board at which a Company Adverse Recommendation Change is to be considered is in response to a Company Superior Proposal, the identity of the Person making the Company Superior Proposal and a true and complete copy of all documentation comprising the most current version of such Company Superior Proposal (including all proposed transaction agreements, including exhibits and schedules) or (y) if the meeting of the Company Board at which a proposed Company Adverse Recommendation Change is to be considered is in response to a Company Intervening Event, a detailed description of all underlying facts, conditions and circumstances giving rise to the occurrence and continued existence of the Company Intervening Event, (ii) for five Business Days following receipt by Parent of such notice, the Company and its Representatives negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives with respect to any proposal from Parent to amend or modify the terms of this Agreement (to the extent Parent has notified the Company that it so desires to negotiate such amendment or modification), and (iii) if the meeting of the Company Board at which a proposed Company Adverse Recommendation Change is to be considered is in response to (x) a Company Superior Proposal, Parent does not make, within such five-Business Day period, a binding offer in the form of a proposed definitive amendment to this Agreement (which, if accepted by the Company, will become a binding agreement among Parent, Merger Sub, Successor Sub and the Company) that, as determined by the Company Board in good faith, After Consultation, has caused such Company Alternative Proposal to no longer be a Company Superior Proposal (provided that any proposed amendment or modification to the material terms of a Company Superior Proposal by any Person who previously submitted the same to the Company will require a new written notice to Parent from the Company and a three-Business Day period notice and negotiation period thereupon will commence under this Section 4.2(e)), or (y) a Company Intervening Event, Parent does not make, within such five-Business Day period, a binding offer in the form of a proposed definitive amendment to this Agreement (which, if accepted by the Company, will become a binding agreement among Parent, Merger Sub, Successor Sub and the Company) that, as determined by the Company Board in good faith, After Consultation, obviates the need for the Company Board to make the Company Adverse Recommendation Change. For purposes of clarification and certainty, under no circumstances will the Company be permitted to terminate this Agreement in respect of a Company Superior Proposal unless it concurrently complies in all respects with the requirements of this Section 4.2(e) and Section 7.1(h), and under no circumstances will the Company be permitted to terminate this Agreement solely in respect of, or following any Company Adverse Recommendation Change made by the Company Board solely in response to, a Company Intervening Event. The Company, Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub each hereby expressly confirm and agree that the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 4.2(e), to the extent that it relates to the Company Adverse Recommendation Change solely in response to or in respect of a Company Intervening Event, has been agreed to for all purposes of Section 146 of the DGCL.

(f) Required Notices. The Company will notify Parent or its Representatives, in writing, promptly (and in any event not later than one Business Day)

after it receives or otherwise becomes aware of any Company Alternative Proposal or any written inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Alternative Proposal, which notice must include a description of the material terms of such proposal and the identity of the Person making such proposal, and the Company will keep Parent reasonably informed of the status of any such proposal (including any material changes, modifications or amendments thereto). The Company will promptly provide to Parent (and in any event not later than one Business Day after receipt or delivery thereof) all drafts of Contracts relating to any Company Alternative Proposal and any written proposals containing any material terms of a Company Alternative Proposal. The terms and existence of any such Company Alternative Proposal, and the identity of such Person, will be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(g) Disclosures Under the Law. Nothing contained in this Section 4.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement will prohibit the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the holders of Common Stock a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a), or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A, under the Exchange Act, or (ii) making any disclosure to the holders of Common Stock under applicable Law if the Company Board determines in good faith, After Consultation, that the failure to do so would violate applicable Law (including the fiduciary duties of the Company’s directors under applicable Law), provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.2(g) permits the Company to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change except in the manner and to the extent expressly permitted by Section 4.2(e), and it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that a factually accurate public statement by the Company that describes only the Company’s receipt of a Company Alternative Proposal and the operation of the provisions of Section 4.2 and 7.1(h) of this Agreement, will not be deemed to be a Company Adverse Recommendation Change (if, and only if, such public statement expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation as of the date of such public statement).

4.3. No Solicitation by Parent.

(a) Termination of Existing Discussions. Parent, each of its Subsidiaries, and the respective directors, officers, employees and controlled Affiliates of Parent and of each of its Subsidiaries will, and Parent will cause each of its and its controlled Affiliates’ Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all discussions and negotiations and access to nonpublic information (including procuring the destruction or return of such information) with, to or by any Person (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) regarding any Parent Alternative Proposal if any such discussions or negotiations have occurred or are currently pending, and to the extent any such access heretofore has been granted.

Prior to obtaining Parent Stockholder Approval, the Parent Board may make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change solely in the manner and to the extent hereafter expressly set forth in this Section 4.3(e) in response to (x) a Parent Superior Proposal that did not result from a violation of this Section 4.3 or (y) a Parent Intervening Event, in each case only if the Parent Board determines in good faith, After Consultation, that a failure to do so would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Parent Board under applicable Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, at no time may Parent make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, unless: (i) Parent notifies the Company in writing of its intention to duly convene a meeting of the Parent Board to consider making a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, which notice to the Company must be delivered by Parent within 24 hours after Parent determines to convene such meeting, but in any case, not less than five Business Days before such meeting is convened, and which notice will include, (x) if the meeting of the Parent Board at which a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change is to be considered is in response to a Parent Superior Proposal, the identity of the Person making the Parent Superior Proposal and a true and complete copy of all documentation comprising the most current version of such Parent Superior Proposal (including all proposed transaction agreements, including exhibits and schedules) or (y) if the meeting of the Parent Board at which a proposed Parent Adverse Recommendation Change is to be considered is in response to a Parent Intervening Event, a detailed description of all underlying facts, conditions and circumstances giving rise to the occurrence and continued existence of the Parent Intervening Event, (ii) for five Business Days following receipt by the Company of such notice, Parent and its Representatives negotiate in good faith with the Company and its Representatives with respect to any proposal from the Company to amend or modify the terms of this Agreement (to the extent the Company has notified Parent that it so desires to negotiate such amendment or

modification), and (iii) if the meeting of the Parent Board at which a proposed Parent Adverse Recommendation Change is to be considered is in response to (x) a Parent Superior Proposal, the Company does not make, within such five-Business Day period, a binding offer in the form of a proposed definitive amendment to this Agreement (which, if accepted by Parent, will become a binding agreement among the Company and Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub) that, as determined by the Parent Board in good faith, After Consultation, has caused such Parent Alternative Proposal to no longer be a Parent Superior Proposal (provided that any proposed amendment or modification to the material terms of a Parent Superior Proposal by any Person who previously submitted the same to Parent will require a new written notice to the Company from Parent and a three-Business Day period notice and negotiation period thereupon will commence under this Section 4.3(e)), or (y) a Parent Intervening Event, the Company does not make, within such five-Business Day period, a binding offer in the form of a proposed definitive amendment to this Agreement (which, if accepted by Parent, will become a binding agreement among the Company and Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub) that, as determined by the Parent Board in good faith, After Consultation, obviates the need for the Parent Board to make Parent Adverse Recommendation Change. For purposes of clarification and certainty, under no circumstances will Parent be permitted to terminate this Agreement in respect of a Parent Superior Proposal unless it concurrently complies in all respects with the requirements of this Section 4.3(e) and Section 7.1(g), and under no circumstances will Parent be permitted to terminate this Agreement solely in respect of, or following any Parent Adverse Recommendation Change made by the Parent Board solely in response to, a Parent Intervening Event. The Company, Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub each hereby expressly confirm and agree that the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 4.3(e), to the extent that it relates to Parent Adverse Recommendation Change solely in response to or in respect of a Parent Intervening Event, has been agreed to for all purposes of Section 146 of the DGCL.

(f) Required Notices. Parent will notify the Company or its Representatives, in writing, promptly (and in any event not later than one Business Day) after it receive or otherwise becomes aware of any Parent Alternative Proposal or any written inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Parent Alternative Proposal, which notice must include a description of the material terms of such proposal and the identity of the Person making such proposal, and Parent will keep the Company reasonably informed of the status of any such proposal (including any material changes, modifications or amendments thereto). Parent will promptly provide to the Company (and in any event not later than one Business Day after receipt or delivery thereof) all drafts of Contracts relating to any Parent Alternative Proposal and any written proposals containing any material terms of a Parent Superior Proposal. The terms and existence of any such Parent Alternative Proposal, and the identity of such Person, will be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(g) Disclosures Under the Law. Nothing contained in this Section 4.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement will prohibit the Parent Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the holders of Parent Common Stock a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a), or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A, under the Exchange Act, or (ii) making any

disclosure to the holders of Parent Common Stock under applicable Law if the Parent Board determines in good faith, After Consultation, that the failure to do so would violate applicable Law (including the fiduciary duties of Parent’s directors under applicable Law), provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.3(g) permits Parent to make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change except in the manner and to the extent expressly permitted by Section 4.3(e), and it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that a factually accurate public statement by Parent that describes only Parent’s receipt of a Parent Alternative Proposal and the operation of the provisions of Section 4.3 and 7.1(g) of this Agreement, will not be deemed to be a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change (if, and only if, such public statement expressly reaffirms the Parent Board Recommendation as of the date of such public statement).

V. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

5.1. Preparation of the Form S-4 and the Joint Proxy Statement; Stockholders Meetings. (a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company and Parent will jointly prepare, and Parent will file with the SEC, the Form S-4, in which the Joint Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus. Each of the Company and Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, ensure that the Form S-4 complies in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and keep the Form S-4 effective for so long as necessary to complete the Mergers. Each of the Company and Parent will furnish to the other party all information concerning itself, its Affiliates and the holders of Shares and Parent Common Stock and provide such other assistance as may reasonably be required by such other party in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Form S-4 and Joint Proxy Statement. The Company and Parent will, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide the other party copies of any written comments and advise the other party of any oral comments, with respect to the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement received from the SEC. Each of the Company and Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to the Joint Proxy Statement, and Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to respond as promptly as practicable with respect to any comments received from the SEC with respect to the Form S-4. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no amendment or supplement (including by incorporation by reference) to the Joint Proxy Statement or the Form S-4 will be made without the approval of both the Company and Parent, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that with respect to documents filed by a party that are incorporated by reference in the Form S-4 or Joint Proxy Statement, this right of approval will apply only with respect to information relating to the other party or its business, financial condition or results of operations, or the combined entity, and provided further, that this approval right will not apply with respect to information relating to a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or Parent Adverse Recommendation Change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing the Form S-4 (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or mailing in definitive form the Joint Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or responding to any comments received from the SEC with respect thereto, each of the Company and

Parent will cooperate and provide the other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response). The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Joint Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Company Stockholders Meeting, and Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Joint Proxy Statement to be mailed to Parent’s stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Parent Stockholders Meeting, in each case as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act. Parent will advise the Company promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Form S-4 has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order relating thereto, the suspension of the qualification of the Parent Common Stock issuable in the First Merger for offering and sale in any jurisdiction, or any request by the SEC for amendment of the Joint Proxy Statement or the Form S-4 or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information. Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have any such stop-order or suspension lifted, reversed, vacated and terminated. Parent also will use commercially reasonable efforts to take all such other action reasonably required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Law and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the issuance of the Parent Common Stock in the First Merger, and the Company will furnish all information concerning the Company and the holders of Shares as may be reasonably requested in connection with such actions. If at any time prior to the First Effective Time any information relating to the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by the Company or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not false or misleading, the party which discovers such information will promptly notify the other parties hereto, and the Company and Parent will cooperate, in good faith, in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment or supplement describing such information and, to the extent required by Law, prompt dissemination of such information contained in such amendment or supplement to the stockholders of the Company and Parent, as applicable.

(b) The Company will, as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act, in accordance with applicable Law and the Company Charter and Company Bylaws, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) solely for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval and, if applicable, any approvals related thereto including the advisory vote required by Rule 14a-21(c) under the Exchange Act in connection therewith and will, subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(e), through the Company Board, recommend to its stockholders the adoption of this Agreement in the Joint Proxy Statement, and will solicit and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company may only postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting (i) to solicit (and re-solicit) additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the

Company Stockholder Approval, (ii) for the absence of a quorum, and (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that the Company has determined, After Consultation, is reasonably likely to be required under Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by stockholders of the Company prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting. The Company will permit Representatives of Parent to attend the Company Stockholders Meeting.

(c) Parent will, as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act, in accordance with applicable Law and the Parent Charter and Parent Bylaws, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Parent Stockholders Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval and will, subject to the provisions of Section 4.3(e), through the Parent Board, recommend to its stockholders in the Joint Proxy Statement the approval of the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in the First Merger and will solicit and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Parent Stockholder Approval. Parent may only postpone or adjourn the Parent Stockholders Meeting (i) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval, (ii) for the absence of a quorum, and (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that Parent has determined, After Consultation, is reasonably likely to be required under Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by stockholders of Parent prior to the Parent Stockholders Meeting. Parent will permit Representatives of the Company to attend the Parent Stockholders Meeting.

(d) The Company and Parent will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to hold the Company Stockholders Meeting and the Parent Stockholders Meeting at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the same date, which date will be as soon as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act.

5.2. Access to Information; Confidentiality. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and subject to Law, upon reasonable notice, each of the Company and Parent will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, afford to the other party and to the officers and Representatives of such other party, reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period from the date of this Agreement to the First Effective Time, to all their respective properties, books, Contracts, commitments, employees, and records (provided, however, that such access will not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of such party), and during such period, each of the Company and Parent will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to the other party all information concerning its business, properties and personnel as such other party may reasonably request. Neither party nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would result in (i) the breach of any Contract with any Third Party (provided that such party will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the Third Party to such disclosure), (ii) a waiver of or a risk of loss of the attorney-

client or other privilege held by such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to such information, (iii) a Governmental Entity alleging that providing such information violates any Antitrust Law, or (iv) the violation of any Law. No review pursuant to this Section 5.2 will affect any representation or warranty given by any party hereto. Each of the Company and Parent will hold, and will cause its respective Affiliates, officers, employees and Representatives to hold, any information provided or nonpublic information in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

5.3. Commercially Reasonable Efforts. (a) Except where a different standard of efforts to be undertaken by the Company or Parent, as applicable, is expressly set forth in another Section or provision of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable efforts for (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Entities, including any required action or non-action under the Antitrust Laws (the “Required Consents”) prior to the First Effective Time, and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain a Required Consent from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entity, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from any other Third Parties, (iii) the defending of any Action challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any Action seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed, and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees to make (i) an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, (ii) appropriate filings, if any are required, pursuant to foreign Antitrust Laws as promptly as practicable, and (iii) all other necessary filings with other Governmental Entities relating to the Mergers, and, in each case, to supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be formally or informally requested pursuant to the Antitrust Laws or by such authorities and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the Antitrust Laws and the receipt of the Required Consents as soon as practicable. Subject to Section 5.3(b), Parent and its Affiliates will take any and all action reasonably necessary, including (i) selling or otherwise disposing of, or holding separate and agreeing to sell or otherwise dispose of, assets, categories of assets or businesses of the Company or Parent or their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) terminating existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations of the Company or Parent or their respective Subsidiaries, (iii) terminating any venture or other arrangement, (iv) creating any relationship, contractual rights or obligations of the Company or Parent or their respective Subsidiaries, or (v) effectuating any other change or restructuring of the

Company or Parent or their respective Subsidiaries (and, in each case, entering into agreements or stipulating to the entry of an Order or filing appropriate applications with any Governmental Entity in connection with any of the foregoing and in the case of actions by or with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or its or their businesses or assets, by consenting to such action by the Company (provided that any such action may, at the discretion of the Company, be conditioned upon consummation of the Mergers)) (each a “Divestiture Action”), in each case to the extent necessary to prevent the issuance of an Order or the establishment of any Law preliminarily or permanently restraining, enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Mergers or to obtain the Requisite Regulatory Approvals or expiration of the waiting period under the HSR act by the Outside Date. In the event that any permanent or preliminary Order is entered or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered in any Action that would make consummation of the Mergers unlawful or that would restrain, enjoin or otherwise prevent the Mergers, Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take promptly any and all steps reasonably available to it to vacate, modify or suspend such Order so as to permit such consummation prior to the Outside Date. The Company will cooperate with Parent and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Parent in resisting and reducing any Divestiture Action and, without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may be given or withheld by Parent in its sole discretion), neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives will propose or agree to any Divestiture Action.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will Parent or any of its Affiliates be required to propose or agree to (or to consent to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries proposing or agreeing to) any Divestiture Action that the Parent Board determines in good faith, After Consultation, would, if such Divestiture Action were taken, have a materially adverse effect on the aggregate net benefits (including synergies) expected to be received by Parent arising from the Mergers.

(c) Each of Parent and the Company will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party, hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Law. Each of Parent and the Company will (i) promptly notify the other of any communication received by that party from, or given by it to, any Governmental Entity and, subject to Law, permit the other to review in advance any proposed communication to any such Governmental Entity and incorporate the other’s reasonable comments, (ii) not agree to participate in any meeting or substantive discussion with any such Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement or the Mergers unless, to the extent reasonably practicable, it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend, and (iii) furnish the other with copies of all correspondence, filings and written communications between them and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and Representatives, on one hand, and any such Governmental Entity or its respective staff on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Mergers, except that materials furnished pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) may be

redacted as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent will control and direct the antitrust defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any claim or Action by, or negotiations with, any Governmental Entity or other Person.

5.4. Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance. (a) From and for a period of six years after the First Effective Time, Parent will indemnify and hold harmless each individual who is as of the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the First Effective Time, a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or who is as of the date of this Agreement, or who thereafter commences prior to the First Effective Time, serving at the request of the Company, as applicable, or any of its Subsidiaries as a director or officer of another Person (the “Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim or Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the First Effective Time (including this Agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated hereby)), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director or officer of another Person or in respect of any acts or omissions in their capacities as such directors or officers occurring prior to the First Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the First Effective Time to the fullest extent permissible under applicable Law and to the fullest extent as such Indemnified Parties are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws or the governing organizational documents of any Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable, and any indemnification Contracts with directors and officers of the Company in existence as of the date of this Agreement and listed in Section 5.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. In the event of any such claim or Action, (i) each Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in the defense of any such claim or Action from Parent to the fullest extent permissible under applicable Law and to the fullest extent as such Indemnified Parties are entitled to advance of such expenses as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws or the governing or organizational documents of any Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable, and any indemnification Contracts with directors and officers of the Company in existence as of the date of this Agreement and listed in Section 5.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, provided that any Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, if and to the extent required by Law, the Company Charter or the Company Bylaws or the governing or organizational documents of any the Company Subsidiary, as applicable, and any indemnification Contracts with directors and officers of the Company in existence as of the date of this Agreement and listed in Section 5.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification, and (ii) Parent will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate in the defense of any such matter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4(a) or elsewhere in this

Agreement, Parent and Ultimate Surviving Corporation will not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim or Action for which indemnification has been sought under this Section 5.4(a) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or Action and does not include any admission of liability with respect to such Indemnified Party. In the event that Parent, the First Surviving Corporation, the Ultimate Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent, the First Surviving Corporation or Ultimate Surviving Corporation, as applicable, will provide that the successors and assigns of Parent, the First Surviving Corporation or Ultimate Surviving Corporation, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.4.

(b) For a period of six years from and after the Closing Date, Parent will either, at its election (i) cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries or (ii) provide substitute polices for not less than the existing coverage provided by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by Parent in favor of the directors and officers of Parent with respect to claims arising from, relating to, or otherwise in respect of facts or events that occurred on or before the First Effective Time, except, in each case, that in no event will Parent be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies (or substitute insurance policies) more than 275% of the annual premium payable by the Company for such insurance for the year ending December 31, 2015 (the “Annual D&O Cap”), and if Parent is unable to obtain the insurance required by this Section 5.4(b) for any year within such six-year period, it will obtain the most advantageous insurance obtainable for such year for an annual premium not to exceed the Annual D&O Cap; provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Company may obtain at or prior to the First Effective Time a six-year “tail” prepaid policy under the Company’s existing directors and officers liability insurance policy providing substantially equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence. If such “tail” prepaid policy has been obtained by the Company prior to the First Effective Time, Parent will cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause the Ultimate Surviving Corporation to honor all obligations thereunder.

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 5.4(a), upon learning of any such claim or Action, will promptly notify Parent thereof, but the failure to so notify will not relieve Parent or the Ultimate Surviving Corporation of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent such failure prejudices the indemnifying party. In the event of any such claim or Action (whether arising before, at or after the First Effective Time): (i) Parent or the Ultimate Surviving Corporation will have the right to assume the defense thereof and Parent and the Ultimate Surviving Corporation will not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Parent or the

Ultimate Surviving Corporation elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Parent or the Ultimate Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and Parent or the Ultimate Surviving Corporation will pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that Parent and the Ultimate Surviving Corporation will be obligated pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; provided, that the fewest number of counsels necessary to avoid conflicts of interest will be used; (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter; and (iii) Parent and the Ultimate Surviving Corporation will not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent; provided, further, that Parent and the Ultimate Surviving Corporation will not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if and when a court of competent jurisdiction ultimately determines, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.4 (i) will survive consummation of the Mergers, (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified or insured party (including the Indemnified Parties), his or her heirs and his or her Representatives, and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by Contract or otherwise.

5.5. Fees and Expenses. (a) Except as provided below and as set forth in Section 5.13(f), all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Mergers, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Mergers are consummated, except that (i) Parent and the Company will each bear and pay 50% of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with (A) the filing, printing and mailing of the Form S-4 and the Joint Proxy Statement and (B) the filings of the pre-merger notification and report forms under the HSR Act and other Antitrust Laws (including filing fees) and (ii) if any Action is brought based upon any party’s breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal may be taken, will be entitled to recover fees and expenses in connection with such breach, including attorney’s fees and costs from the other party to the Action.

(b) The Company will pay or cause to be paid to Parent a nonrefundable cash fee equal to $385 million if: (i) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) (Company Enters into Definitive Agreement Providing for a Company Superior Proposal); (ii) (A) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) (Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change) or (B) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) (Lapse of Outside Date) or Section 7.1(b)(ii) (Failure of Company to Obtain Stockholder Approval) at a time when this Agreement could have been terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(e); or (iii) (A) a

Company Alternative Proposal is made and publicly disclosed or announced (substituting, for purposes of this Section 5.5(b), “50%” for each reference to “20%” in the definition of “Company Alternative Proposal”) (a “Company Qualifying Transaction”) and not subsequently publicly withdrawn, and thereafter this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) (Lapse of Outside Date), Section 7.1(b)(ii) (Failure of Company to Obtain Stockholder Approval) or Section 7.1(c) (Company Breach), and (B) within 12 months of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement to consummate, or consummates, a Company Qualifying Transaction. Any fee due under this Section 5.5(b) will be paid to Parent by wire transfer to an account specified in Section 5.5(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter of same-day funds on the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, within two Business Days after termination of this Agreement by Parent pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence (in the case of a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in respect of a Company Intervening Event in accordance with Section 4.2(e)), or on the earlier of the date of execution of such definitive agreement or consummation of a Company Qualifying Transaction in the case of termination of this Agreement pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence. In no event will the Company be required to pay the fee set forth in this Section 5.5(b) on more than one occasion.

(a) Each of the parties hereto will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Mergers to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, including considering and negotiating in good faith such amendments to this Agreement as may reasonably be required in order to obtain such qualification (it being understood that no party will be required to agree to any such amendment). The parties will report the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, in a manner consistent with such qualification. No party will take any action or fail to take any action, or allow any Affiliate to take any action or fail to take any action, that would reasonably be expected to prevent any of the foregoing.

(b) Each of Parent and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Tax opinions described in Section 6.2(e) and Section 6.3(e), respectively (collectively the “Tax Opinions”). The appropriate officers of Parent, Merger Sub, Successor Sub and the Company will execute and deliver to ▇▇▇▇▇ Day, counsel to Parent, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Traurig, LLP, counsel to the Company, certificates substantially in the forms set forth in Section 5.8(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter and Section 5.8(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Representation Letters”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, before the First Effective Time, if and to the extent that Parent deems such a change to be desirable, at Parent’s election (which may be made by delivery of written notice to the Company at any time prior to filing any preliminary Form S-4), the parties hereto will cooperate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to amend this Agreement and, to the extent necessary, modify the Representation Letters, in each case to change the method of effecting the transactions contemplated hereby to reflect the alternative structure set forth in Section 5.8(c) of the Parent Disclosure Letter so that the transactions contemplated hereby will qualify under Section 351 of the Code; provided, that (i) any such change will not adversely affect the U.S. federal income Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated hereby to holders of Shares and (ii) no such change will (A) alter or change the amount or kind of the consideration to be issued to holders of Shares as consideration in the Mergers or (B) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.9. Takeover Statutes. Parent and Company will take all action necessary to ensure that the restrictions on business combinations contained in Section 203 of the DGCL nor any other “business combination,” “interested stockholder,” “freeze out,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium,” or other anti-takeover Laws (collectively with Section 203 of the DGCL, “Anti-Takeover Laws”) are or become applicable to this Agreement or the Mergers. If any Anti-Takeover Law is or may become applicable to the Mergers or any other transactions contemplated hereby, each of the parties hereto and their respective board of directors will (a) grant such approvals

and take all such actions as are legally permissible so that the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and (b) otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any such Anti-Takeover Law on the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

5.10. Employee Benefits. (a) For the period commencing as of the First Effective Time and ending December 31, 2016, Parent will provide, or cause to be provided, to each Company Employee who is employed by Parent and its Subsidiaries, compensation and benefits (except those provided by any equity based Company Benefit Plans or arrangements of Company) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the compensation and benefits provided to each such Company Employee prior to the First Effective Time, or, at Parent’s option, Parent will provide, or cause to be provided, to each such Company Employee compensation and benefits substantially similar to the level of compensation and benefits provided to employees of Parent and its subsidiaries working in a substantially similar positions. This Section 5.10(a) will not apply to collectively bargained employees whether or not they are Company Employees, the terms and conditions of whose employment will be determined by the applicable collective bargaining Contract assumed by or required to be assumed by Parent or one of its Subsidiaries as in effect from time-to-time.

(b) From and after the First Effective Time, Parent will cause to be honored all Company Benefit Plans (except those provided by any equity based Company Benefit Plans or arrangements) in accordance with the terms thereof. For all purposes under each employee benefit plan of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Company Employee after the First Effective Time (the “New Plans”), and subject to Law and obligations under applicable collective bargaining or similar Contracts, each Company Employee will be credited with his or her years of service with the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, before the First Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the First Effective Time, to credit for such service under any Company Benefit Plan of the same type, as applicable, except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits, except that Company Employees will not be entitled to the benefit of any grandfathered benefit formula or to participation in any benefit plan or arrangement provided by Parent, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that would not be provided to any employee first hired by Parent or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates on or after the First Effective Time. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to Law and obligations under applicable collective bargaining or similar Contracts: (i) each Company Employee will be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans which are welfare benefit plans, but only to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a Company Benefit Plan of the same type, as applicable, in which such employee participated immediately before the First Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”) and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent will cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents, and Parent will cause any

eligible expenses incurred by such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Company 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 Company 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) Nothing contained in this Section 5.10 will (i) be construed to establish, amend or modify any Company Benefit Plan or any benefit or compensation plan, program, Contract, policy or arrangement of Parent or its Subsidiaries, (ii) limit the ability of Parent or the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, Contract, policy or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, (iii) create any third-party beneficiary rights or obligations in any Person (including but not limited to any Company Employee or former employee of Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) other than the parties to this Agreement or any right to employment or continued employment or to a particular term or condition of employment with Parent or the Company or any of their Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Affiliates, or (iv) limit the right of Parent or the Company (or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates) to terminate the employment or service of any employee or other service provider thereof following the First Effective Time at any time and for any or no reason.

5.11. Board of Directors of Parent. Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts, and take all necessary actions, to cause the individuals identified in Section 5.11 of the Company Disclosure Letter to become members of the Parent Board effective as of immediately after the First Effective Time, each to serve on the Parent Board until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified in accordance with the Parent Charter and Parent Bylaws.

5.12. Section 16(b). Parent and the Company will each take all such steps as may be reasonably necessary to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) or acquisitions of equity securities of Parent (including derivative securities) in connection herewith by any individual who (a) is a director or officer of the Company or (b) at the First Effective Time, will become a director or officer of Parent, in each case to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

5.13. Financing. (a) Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Financing, on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letters, on or prior to the Closing Date which, together with cash on hand, will be sufficient for Parent to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration and any other cash amounts payable pursuant to, or in connection with, the Mergers, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) negotiate and enter into, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Financing Agreements (and, unless such Financing Agreements are

otherwise publicly available, notify the Company, in writing, promptly (and in any event not later than one Business Day) of the execution of any such Financing Agreement and provide execution copies thereof to the Company upon the reasonable request of the Company), (ii) terminate or amend its Existing Credit Facilities and any other existing debt or financing arrangements to the extent required to satisfy the conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letters, (iii) maintain in full force and effect the Debt Commitment Letters and comply with its obligations and conditions thereunder, (iv) satisfy (or, if deemed advisable by Parent, seek a waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions in the Financing Agreements within the control of Parent and required to be satisfied by it, and (v) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing. Upon the reasonable request of the Company, Parent will keep the Company informed of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing and to satisfy the conditions thereof, including advising and updating the Company, in a reasonable level of detail, with respect to any material developments concerning the status of the Financing and the proposed funding date thereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.13 or in any other provision of this Agreement, in no event will Parent, Merger Sub or Successor Sub be required to amend or waive any of the terms or conditions hereof. Parent will segregate any and all funds obtained which reduce the aggregate commitments under the Debt Commitment Letters in a special account separated from the Parent’ other funds, and will use those segregated funds solely to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration and any other cash amounts payable pursuant to, or in connection with, the Mergers.

(b) Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain and maintain a credit rating for the Financing of BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”), BBB- or higher by Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”) and Baa3 or higher by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investor Service Inc. (“Moody’s”), including making all necessary filings and taking all steps as may be necessary to obtain such ratings as promptly as practicable, supplying as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be formally or informally requested by either S&P, Fitch or Moody’s, seeking to amend and/or restructure, as necessary, any and all of its existing debt or the terms of the Financing, or any Alternative Financing (subject, in each case, to provisions of Section 5.13(c) below regarding the Company’s prior written consent), and to use good faith efforts to cause the commencement and completion of any necessary Debt Offers. Parent will promptly deliver a copy to the Company of any notice from S&P, Fitch or Moody’s no later than one Business Day after such notice is received by the Parent or any of its Affiliates.

(c) Parent will not agree to, permit or consent to any termination, amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification of, or waive any of its rights under, the Debt Commitment Letters or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing without the Company’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that Parent may, without the Company’s prior written consent, (i) enter into any amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification to or waiver of any provision of the Debt Commitment

Letters or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing, if such amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification or waiver (A) does not reduce the aggregate cash amount of proceeds of the Financing, (B) does not change the timing of the funding of the Financing thereunder and would not reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the consummation of all or a portion of the Financing or the Closing, (C) does not adversely change or impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand or adversely amend any of the Financing Conditions from those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters on the date of this Agreement, (D) does not otherwise make the timely funding of the Financing or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing less likely to occur, and (E) materially and adversely impact the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against any other party to any Debt Commitment Letters (clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E), collectively, the “Prohibited Commitment Letter Amendments”) and (ii) amend, replace supplement or otherwise modify the Debt Commitment Letters to add lenders, lead arrangers, book runners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letters as of the date of this Agreement, but only if the addition of such additional parties, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in the occurrence of a Prohibited Commitment Letter Amendment. Parent will not permit or consent to any waiver of any remedy under the Debt Commitment Letters or to any early termination of the Debt Commitment Letters. Upon any such amendment, replacement, supplement or modification, the term “Debt Commitment Letters” means the Debt Commitment Letters as so amended, replaced, supplemented or modified. Parent will promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification or waiver of the Debt Commitment Letters.

(d) Parent will promptly (and, in any event, within three Business Days) notify the Company in writing (i) of its Knowledge of any breach or default by any party to the Debt Commitment Letters or any definitive financing agreement entered into in connection with the Financing, if such breach or default would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the timely availability of, or the amount of, the Financing, (ii) if and when Parent becomes aware that any portion of the Financing contemplated by any Debt Commitment Letter will not be available to consummate the Closing, (iii) if for any reason Parent or any of its Affiliates believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain any portion of the Financing (x) subject to the conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letters, (y) in an amount that is sufficient to consummate the Closing or (z) within the timing contemplated hereby or by the Debt Commitment letters, and (iv) of the receipt by any of Parent or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives of any written notice from any Financing Source, lender or any other Person with respect to any (A) actual, threatened or alleged breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Debt Commitment Letters or any definitive financing agreement entered into in connection with the Financing or any provision of the Financing contemplated pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letters or any definitive financing agreement entered into in connection with the Financing (including any proposal by any Financing Source, lender or other Person to withdraw, terminate or make a material change in the terms of (including the amount of Financing contemplated by) the Debt Commitment Letters that would reasonably be expected to affect the timely availability of, or the amount of, such Financing) or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the

Debt Commitment Letters or any definitive financing agreement entered into in connection with the Financing, if such dispute or disagreement would reasonably be expected to affect the timely availability of, or amount of, the Financing. In the event that all conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letters or the Financing Agreements have been satisfied, Parent will use reasonable best efforts to cause the Financing Source to comply with its funding obligations thereunder. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within two Business Days after the Company delivers to Parent a written request, Parent will provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any of the circumstances referred to in this 5.13(c).

(e) The Company will use reasonable best efforts to provide to Parent, at Parent’s sole cost and expense as provided in this Section 5.13(e), and will use reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to provide, (i) all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent that is customary or necessary in connection with arranging, obtaining and syndicating the Financing and any other financing or refinancing transactions undertaken by Parent or any Subsidiary thereof to the extent that the participation by members of management of, the Company is reasonably necessary in connection therewith and causing the conditions in the Financing Agreements to be satisfied and (ii) provide all assistance that is customarily provided in financings comparable to the proposed Financing or such other financing or refinancing transaction, as the case may be, including using commercially reasonable efforts in (A) assisting with, and designating one or more members of senior management of the Company to participate in, the preparation of customary offering and syndication documents and materials, including registration statements, prospectuses, private placement or offering memoranda, bank information memoranda, bank syndication material and packages, lender and investor presentations, rating agency materials and presentations, and similar documents and materials, in connection with the Financing, and providing reasonable and customary authorization letters to the Financing Sources authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders and containing customary information (all such documents and materials, collectively, the “Offering Documents”), (B) furnishing to Parent all Required Information (including execution of customary authorization and management representation letters) as may be reasonably requested by Parent to assist in the preparation of the Offering Documents, (C) providing information that is reasonably available or readily obtainable regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries reasonably necessary to assist Parent in preparing pro forma financial statements required by SEC Regulation S-X for registered offerings of securities on Form S-3 (unless Parent is no longer eligible to use Form S-3, in which case Form S-1, or any successor forms thereto) in connection with the Financing, and designating, upon request, whether any such information is suitable to be made available to lenders and other investors who do not wish to receive material non-public information, (D) designating one or more members of senior management of the Company to participate, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, in due diligence sessions, drafting sessions, management presentations, rating agency presentations, lender meetings and one or more road shows, (D) assisting Parent in obtaining any corporate credit and family ratings and, if applicable, facility ratings from any ratings agency contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters, (E) requesting the Company’s independent auditors to cooperate with Parent’s independent auditors,

8.4. Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section or Exhibit, such reference will be to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit to, this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “hereto,” “hereby,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “or” is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase will not mean simply “if.” All terms defined in this Agreement will have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any Contract defined or referred to herein or in any Contract that is referred to herein means such Contract as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by waiver or consent, unless otherwise specifically indicated. References to statutes will include all regulations promulgated thereunder and references to statutes or regulations will be construed as including all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending or replacing the statue or regulation, including by succession of comparable successor statutes. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all references to “dollars” and “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America. Whenever a consent or approval of the Company or Parent is required under this Agreement, such consent or approval may be executed and delivered only by an executive officer of such party. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth herein. Any document, list or other item shall be deemed to have been “made available” to Parent or the Company, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement if such document, list or other item was posted in the electronic data

104

room established by the Company or Parent, as applicable, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or was set forth in a Company Filed SEC Document or Parent Filed SEC Document, as applicable, or a physical or electronic copy thereof was delivered or otherwise made available to the Company or Parent, as applicable, or their respective Representatives. Wherever in this Agreement reference is made to any determination of the Company Board or the Parent Board, as applicable, or reference is made to any action required to be made or taken by the Company or Parent pursuant to this Agreement through the Company Board or the Parent Board, as applicable, such references shall be deemed to further state and require (if not already expressly contained in such references) that such determination and/or action required to be made or taken by the Company Board or the Parent Board, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement will be made and taken in good faith, After Consultation.

8.5. Counterparts; .pdf Signature.

8.6. Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries; No Additional Representations. (a) This Agreement (including the documents, Exhibits and instruments referred to herein), taken together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement, including the documents, Exhibits and other instruments referred to herein, are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties rights or remedies, except for (i) Section 5.4, which will inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Parties and the other Persons benefiting therefrom who are expressly intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof and who may enforce the covenants contained therein, and (ii) Section 7.3, this Section 8.6(a), Section 8.9, Section 8.10(b) and Section 8.13, which will inure to the benefit of the Financing Sources and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, all of whom are expressly intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof and with respect to their rights thereunder.

(b) The parties hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the Mergers exclusively in Contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement and the parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement. Furthermore, the parties each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations. All parties to this Agreement specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction. The sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including any representations and warranties set forth herein, made in

105

connection herewith or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) or any claim or cause of action otherwise arising out of or related to the acquisition of the Company or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or this Agreement will be those remedies available at law or in equity for breach of contract only (as such contractual remedies have been further expanded, limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement). The parties hereby agree that no party hereto will have any remedy or cause of action (whether in contract or in tort) for any statements, communications, disclosures, failures to disclose, representations or warranties not set forth in this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, none of the Company, Parent or any other Person has made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the respective businesses of the Company and Parent, or the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding such businesses furnished or made available to the parties.

8.7. GOVERNING LAW; THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) THAT MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY MADE IN OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR AS AN INDUCEMENT OR CONDITION TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT), WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL SUBSTANTIVE AND PROCEDURAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE.

8.8. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement will be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the Company and Parent. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence will be void. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

8.9. Specific Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Agreement, express or implied, the parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties to this Agreement will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 8.10, without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific

106

enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including this Section 8.9), the parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event of a Debt Rating Failure, the Company will not have the right to specific performance or other equitable remedies to enforce Parent’s, Merger Sub’s or Successor Sub’s obligation to proceed to the Closing (but only if Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub shall have complied in all material respects with its covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in Section 5.13). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Parent shall fail to obtain Financing (other than as a result of a Debt Rating Failure), the Company shall have the right to specific performance or other equitable remedies to enforce Parent’s, Merger Sub’s or Successor Sub’s obligation to proceed to the Closing. To the extent any party hereto brings any Action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement when available to such party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Outside Date will automatically be extended by the amount of time during which such action is pending, plus 20 Business Days, or (such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.)

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.10(a) and without limiting the provisions of Section 8.13, the Company (i) agrees that it will not, and will not permit its Affiliates to, bring or support any Action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity and whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any dispute arising out of or relating to the Financing or the performance thereof) in any forum other than the United States District Court for the Southern District

107

(c) Each of the parties agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document in accordance with Section 8.2 (Notices) will be effective service of process for any proceeding brought against it by the other party in connection with Section 8.10(a); provided, however, that nothing contained herein will affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consents to jurisdiction set forth in this Section 8.10(c) will not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and will have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this Section 8.10(c) and will not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties.

(d) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS OR THE FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING TO ITS EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO PARTY OR REPRESENTATIVE OR AFFILIATE THEREOF HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS PARAGRAPH.

8.11. Headings, etc. The headings and table of contents contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

8.12. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as either the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party or

108

such party waives its rights under this Section 8.12 with respect thereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

8.13. Liability of Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company agrees that it will not have any rights or claims against any Financing Source (in their capacity as such) in connection with this Agreement, the Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and no Financing Source will have any rights or claims against the Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives in connection with this Agreement, the Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether at law or in equity, in Contract, tort or otherwise.
