AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of January 13, 2020 (the “Agreement Date”), by and among: Cott Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of Canada (“Parent”); Cott Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Holdings”); Fore Merger LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (“Merger Sub 2”); Fore Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merger Sub 2 (“Purchaser”); and Primo Water Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) (each of the Company, Purchaser, Merger Sub 2, Holdings and Parent a “Party”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

A. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Parent has agreed to cause Purchaser to commence an exchange offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted under this Agreement, the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Shares”) for the consideration and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

B. Following the consummation of the Offer, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Purchaser will be merged with and into the Company (the “First Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the First Merger (the “First Surviving Corporation”), whereby, except as expressly provided in Section 2.6, (i) each issued and outstanding Share not owned by Parent, Purchaser, or any Acquired Corporation as of the First Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and (ii) the Company shall become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Merger Sub 2 as a result of the First Merger.

C. Immediately following the First Merger, the First Surviving Corporation shall merge with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 being the surviving entity (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”).

D. The Company Board has unanimously (i) determined that this Agreement and the Transactions are advisable and fair to, and in the best interest of, the Company and its stockholders, (ii) agreed that the First Merger shall be governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL, (iii) approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, and (iv) resolved to recommend that the holders of Shares accept the Offer and tender their Shares to Purchaser pursuant to the Offer (the recommendation of the Company Board, the “Company Board Recommendation”).

E. The Parent Board has determined that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement and the Transactions are advisable and in the best interest of Parent and its stockholders, and has approved the execution, delivery and performance by Parent of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions.

F. The Board of Directors of Purchaser has determined that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement and the Transactions are advisable and in the best interest of Purchaser and its stockholder, and has approved the execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions.

G. Each of Parent and the Company acknowledges and agrees that the First Merger shall be governed by, and effected pursuant to, Section 251(h) of the DGCL and shall be consummated as soon as practicable following the Acceptance Time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

H. Each of Parent and the Company acknowledges and agrees that, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, it is intended that the acquisition of the Shares pursuant to the Offer and the Mergers together constitue a single integrated transaction that will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Treasury Regulations”), and this Agreement constitutes and is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code (including within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a)).

I. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Parent and Purchaser entering into this Agreement, certain holders of the Shares (the “Principal Stockholders”) have entered into tender and support agreements, dated as of the Agreement Date, in substantially the form set forth in Annex II, pursuant to which, among other things, each of the Principal Stockholders has agreed to tender his, her or its Shares to Purchaser in the Offer (the “Tender Agreements”).

AGREEMENT

The Parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

SECTION 1. THE OFFER

1.1 The Offer.

(a) Commencement of the Offer. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 8, as promptly as practicable after the Agreement Date, but in no event more than 10 Business Days after the Agreement Date, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to commence the Offer if the Company is not prepared to file the Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC substantially contemporaneously with Purchaser’s filing of the Offering Documents with the SEC.

(b) Terms and Conditions of the Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the prior satisfaction of the Minimum Condition (as defined in Annex I) and the satisfaction or waiver by Purchaser of the other conditions set forth in Annex I (collectively, the “Offer Conditions”), as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) consummate the Offer in accordance with its terms. In the Offer, each Share accepted by Purchaser in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer shall be exchanged for the right to receive, at the election of the holder:

(i) $14.00 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), (ii) 1.0229 shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”), or (iii) $5.04 in cash and 0.6549 shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Mixed Consideration”) (each of the Cash Consideration, Stock Consideration and Mixed Consideration, as applicable, the “Offer Consideration”), in each case subject to proration as set forth in Section 1.1(d) and the other provisions of this Section 1.

(c) The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that contains terms not inconsistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Purchaser and Parent expressly reserve the right to (i) increase the Offer Consideration, (ii) waive any Offer Condition other than the Minimum Condition and (iii) make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company (which the Company may withhold in its sole discretion), Purchaser shall not (A) decrease the Offer Consideration, (B) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (C) decrease the maximum number of Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, (D) impose conditions to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions, (E) change the Minimum Condition, (F) amend, modify, or supplement any of the Offer Conditions in a manner adverse to the holders of the Shares, (G) extend or otherwise change the Expiration Date of the Offer (except to the extent permitted or required pursuant to Section 1.1(e)), (H) provide any “subsequent offering period” in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act or (I) take any action (or fail to take any action) that would result in the First Merger not qualifying for consummation pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. The Offer may not be terminated prior to the Expiration Date (or any rescheduled Expiration Date) of the Offer without the prior written consent of the Company, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.

(d) Elections; Proration; Fractional Shares.

(i) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 1.1(d), each holder of Shares validly tendered in the Offer shall be entitled to elect (1) the number of Shares which such holder desires to exchange for the right to receive the Mixed Consideration (a “Mixed Election,” and such shares, the “Mixed Election Shares”), (2) the number of Shares which such holder desires to exchange for the right to receive the Cash Consideration (a “Cash Election,” and such shares, the “Cash Election Shares”), and (3) the number of Shares which such holder desires to exchange for the right to receive the Stock Consideration (a “Stock Election,” and such shares, the “Stock Election Shares”). Any Cash Election, Stock Election or Mixed Election shall be referred to herein as an “Election,” and shall be made on a form for that purpose prepared by Parent that is reasonably acceptable to the Company (a “Form of Election in Offer”), included as part of the letter(s) of election and transmittal accompanying the Offer. Holders of record of Shares who hold such Shares as nominees, trustees or in other representative capacities may submit multiple Forms of Election in Offer on behalf of their respective beneficial holders.

(ii) Any Election pursuant to the Offer shall have been properly made only if the depositary for the Offer shall have actually received a properly completed Form of Election in Offer by the expiration date of the Offer. Any Form of Election in Offer may be revoked or changed by the authorized Person properly submitting such Form of Election in Offer by written notice received by the depositary for the Offer prior to the expiration date of the Offer. In the event an Election is revoked prior to the expiration date of the Offer, the Shares represented by such Form of Election in Offer shall become Mixed Election Shares (to the extent such Shares

remain tendered in the Offer and are not validly withdrawn from the Offer), except to the extent a subsequent election is properly made with respect to any or all of such Shares prior to the expiration date of the Offer. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Form of Election in Offer, the depositary for the Offer shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in any Form of Election in Offer, and any good-faith decisions of the depositary for the Offer regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. None of Parent, Purchaser, the Company or the depositary for the Offer shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in a Form of Election in Offer.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Cash Elections and the Stock Elections shall be subject to proration as described in this Section 1.1(d).

(1) The maximum number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer which shall be eligible to receive the Cash Consideration shall equal 35.98% of the aggregate number of Shares tendered in the Offer (and not validly withdrawn) (excluding Mixed Election Shares and No Election Shares) (the “Maximum Cash Shares in Offer”).

(2) If the total number of Cash Election Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer exceeds the Maximum Cash Shares in Offer, such Cash Elections shall be subject to proration as follows: for each such Cash Election, the number of Shares that shall be exchanged for the right to receive the Cash Consideration shall be (A) the total number of Cash Election Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer multiplied by (B) the Offer Cash Proration Factor, rounded down to the nearest Share. The “Offer Cash Proration Factor” means a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Maximum Cash Shares in Offer and (y) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Cash Election Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer. The Cash Election Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer that are not exchanged for the right to receive the Cash Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.1(d)(iii)(2) shall instead be exchanged for the right to receive the Stock Consideration.

(3) The maximum number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer which shall be eligible to receive the Stock Consideration shall equal 64.02% of the aggregate number of Shares tendered in the Offer (and not validly withdrawn) (excluding Mixed Election Shares and No Election Shares) (the “Maximum Stock Shares in Offer”).

(4) If the total number of Stock Election Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer exceeds the Maximum Stock Shares in Offer, such Stock Elections shall be subject to proration as follows: for each such Stock Election, the number of Shares that shall be exchanged for the right to receive the Stock Consideration shall be (A) the total number of Stock Election Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer multiplied by (B) the Offer Stock Proration Factor, rounded down to the nearest Share. The “Offer Stock Proration Factor” means a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Maximum Stock Shares in Offer and (y) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Stock Election Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer. The Stock Election Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer that are not exchanged for the right to receive the Stock Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.1(d)(iii)(4) shall instead be exchanged for the right to receive the Cash Consideration.

(iv) All prorations resulting from either Section 1.1(d)(iii)(2) or Section 1.1(d)(iii)(4) shall be applied on a pro rata basis, such that each holder of Shares who validly tenders Cash Election Shares or Stock Election Shares, as applicable, bears its proportionate share of the proration, based on a percentage of the total Cash Election Shares or Stock Election Shares, as applicable, validly tendered in the Offer (and not validly withdrawn) by such holder of Shares bears to all Cash Election Shares or Stock Election Shares, as applicable, validly tendered in the Offer (and not validly withdrawn) by all holders of Shares.

(v) Each Share validly tendered into the Offer (and not validly withdrawn) but which is not the subject of a valid Election (a “No Election Share”) received prior to the expiration of the Offer shall be deemed to be a Mixed Election Share. In no event shall any Mixed Election Shares or No Election Shares be subject to proration pursuant to Section 1.1(d)(iii)(2) or Section 1.1(d)(iii)(4).

(vi) No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to the Offer, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Shares who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all shares represented by the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) pursuant to the Offer shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash, without interest, in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by the Parent Trading Price, rounded to the nearest cent.

(e) Expiration and Extension of the Offer. Unless extended pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on the 21st Business Day (for this purpose determined as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act) following the commencement date of the Offer (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company) (the “Initial Expiration Date,” and such date or such subsequent date to which the expiration of the Offer is extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the Parties’ respective termination rights under Section 8: (i) if, as of the scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, if permitted hereunder and under applicable Laws, Purchaser may, in its discretion (and without the consent of the Company or any other Person), extend the Offer on one or more occasions, for an additional period of up to 10 Business Days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied; (ii) Purchaser shall extend the Offer from time to time for: (A) the minimum period required by any Law, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or an applicable stock exchange or its staff, in each case, applicable to the Offer, and (B) periods of up to 20 Business Days per extension, until any waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Offer under the HSR Act or any applicable foreign Antitrust Laws shall have expired or been terminated; and (iii) if, as of the

scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, at the request of the Company, Purchaser shall extend the Offer on one or more occasions for an additional period of up to 10 Business Days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied, it being agreed that Purchaser shall not, and Parent shall not be required to cause Purchaser to, extend the Offer pursuant to this clause (iii) on more than two occasions only if all Offer Conditions other than the Minimum Condition are satisfied on the date on which the Offer is scheduled to expire, but the Minimum Condition is not satisfied; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser: (1) be required to extend the Offer beyond the earliest to occur of (the “Extension Deadline”) (x) the valid termination of this Agreement in compliance with Section 8 and (y) the End Date; or (2) be permitted to extend the Offer beyond the Extension Deadline without the prior written consent of the Company.

(f) Payment for Shares. On the terms of and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offer, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) accept for payment, and pay for, all Shares that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly (within the meaning of Section 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 1.1(e)) (or, at Parent’s election, concurrently with the expiration of the Offer if all conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or waived). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser on a timely basis the funds and shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to pay for any Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not accept for payment, or pay for, any Shares if, as a result, Purchaser would acquire less than the number of Shares necessary to satisfy the Minimum Condition. The consideration in the Offer payable in respect of each Share validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid net to the holder thereof in cash or shares of Parent Common Stock, as applicable, without interest and subject to reduction for any applicable Taxes required to be deducted or withheld in respect thereof. The Company shall register (and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to register) the transfer of Shares accepted for payment immediately after the Acceptance Time (such registration to be effective as of the Acceptance Time). Parent shall cause each of Purchaser and the Surviving Company to perform, on a timely basis, all of Purchaser’s and the Surviving Company’s obligations under this Agreement, and Parent shall be jointly and severally liable with Purchaser and the Surviving Company for the due and timely performance and satisfaction of each of such covenants, obligations and liabilities.

(g) Offer Consideration Adjustment. The Mixed Consideration, the Cash Consideration, the Stock Consideration, the Maximum Cash Shares in Offer, the Offer Cash Proration Factor, the Maximum Stock Shares in Offer and the Offer Stock Proration Factor shall be adjusted appropriately and proportionately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock or shares of Parent Common Stock occurring or having a record date on or after the Agreement Date and at or prior to the Acceptance Time, and such adjustment to the Offer Consideration shall provide to the Company Stockholders the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action; provided that nothing in this Section 1.1(g) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any such action with respect to its securities that is otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(h) Termination of Offer. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) promptly (and, in any event, within two Business Days of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer and shall not acquire any Shares pursuant to the Offer. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Purchaser, Purchaser shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Purchaser to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof.

(i) Schedule TO; Offer Documents; Form S-4.

(i) As promptly as practicable following the commencement of the Offer (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act), Parent and Purchaser shall (i) file with the SEC a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) that will contain or incorporate by reference the Offer to Purchase and form of the related letter of transmittal and (ii) cause the Offer to Purchase and related documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. Parent and Purchaser agree that they shall cause the Schedule TO and all amendments, supplements or exhibits thereto (which together constitute the “Offer Documents”) filed by either Parent or Purchaser with the SEC to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and other applicable Laws. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company agrees to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Parent further agrees to use its reasonable efforts to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be promptly filed with the SEC and to be promptly disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws. The Company and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. Parent and Purchaser agree to provide the Company and its counsel with any comments Parent, Purchaser or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments. Parent and Purchaser shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the SEC or its staff and a reasonable opportunity to participate in any discussions with the SEC or its staff concerning such comments. Each of Parent and Purchaser shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents or the Offer.

(ii) Concurrently with the filing of the Offer Documents with the SEC, Parent shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 to register under the Securities Act the offer and sale of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and the First Merger (the “Form S-4”). The Form S-4 will include a preliminary prospectus containing the information required under Rule 14d-4(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(iii) The Offer Documents and the Form S-4 may include a description of the determinations, approvals and recommendations of the Company Board described in this Agreement (and a change to such determinations, approvals and recommendations to the extent applicable at the relevant time). Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, (B) ensure that the Form S-4 complies as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act or Securities Act, and (C) keep the Form S-4, if the Form S-4 is declared effective by the SEC, effective for so long as necessary to complete the Mergers. The Company shall furnish in writing to Parent and Purchaser all information concerning the Acquired Corporations (including financial information) that is reasonably requested by Parent or is required by applicable Law or the rules of the SEC and its staff, including the comment process, to be included in the Offer Documents and the Form S-4 so as to enable Parent and Purchaser to comply with their obligations under this Section 1.1(i), including providing such reasonable cooperation and information as may be necessary or appropriate to include any pro forma financial statements (to the extent required) in the Offer Documents and the Form S-4 in accordance with the rules of the SEC and its staff. Parent, Purchaser and the Company shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to determine the information regarding the Company that is necessary to include in the Offer Documents and the Form S-4 in order to satisfy applicable Laws and the rules of the SEC. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it or any of its respective Representatives for use in the Offer Documents and the Form S-4 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. Parent and Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents and the Form S-4, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws, or by the SEC or its staff or by Nasdaq, the NYSE or the TSX or their respective staff. Unless the Company Board has made a Company Adverse Change Recommendation to the extent permitted by Section 6.1, Parent and Purchaser shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents and the Form S-4 prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and Parent and Purchaser shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel (it being understood that the Company and its counsel shall provide any comments thereon as soon as reasonably practicable). Unless the Company Board has made a Company Adverse Change Recommendation to the extent permitted by Section 6.1, Parent and Purchaser shall provide in writing to the Company and its counsel any and all written comments or other material communications that Parent, Purchaser or their counsel receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents and the Form S-4 promptly after such receipt, and Parent and Purchaser shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the SEC or its staff (including a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such response, to which Parent and Purchaser shall give reasonable and good-faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel (it being understood that the Company and its counsel shall provide any comments thereon as soon as reasonably practicable)) and to participate in any discussions with the SEC or its staff regarding any such comments. Purchaser and Parent shall as promptly as practicable respond to any comments of the SEC or its staff regarding the Offer Documents or the Form S-4. Parent shall notify the Company promptly of the time when the Form S-4 or any amendment or supplement thereto has become effective and of the issuance of any stop order or suspension of the qualification of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Offer and the Mergers for offering or sale in any jurisdiction. Parent shall also take any other action required to

be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the issuance of the Parent Common Stock in the Offer or the Mergers, and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company and the holders of the Company Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such actions.

1.2 Company Actions.

(a) Schedule 14D-9. Substantially contemporaneously with the filing by Parent and Purchaser of the Schedule TO, the Company shall file with the SEC and disseminate to holders of Shares (as and to the extent required by applicable Laws) a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any amendments, supplements or exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that (A) unless the Company Board has made a Company Adverse Change Recommendation to the extent permitted by Section 6.1(b), shall reflect the Company Board Recommendation and (B) includes the notice of appraisal rights required to be delivered pursuant to Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL. The Company shall affirmatively set a record date for the Company Stockholders to receive such notice of appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL and shall disseminate the Schedule 14D-9, including such notice of appraisal rights, to the Company’s stockholders as of such record date. The Company agrees that it will cause the Schedule 14D-9 to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company agrees to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff and to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company further agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be promptly filed with the SEC and to be promptly disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. Parent and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendment thereto prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. The Company agrees to provide Parent and its counsel with any comments the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of such comments. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the SEC or its staff and a reasonable opportunity to participate in any discussions with the SEC or its staff concerning such comments. The Company shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9.

(b) Stockholder Lists. The Company shall furnish or cause its transfer agent to promptly furnish to Parent a list, as of the most recent practicable date, of its stockholders of record and non-objecting beneficial holders, mailing labels and any available listing or computer file containing the names and addresses of all record and beneficial holders of Shares and lists of securities positions of Shares held in stock depositories, in each case accurate and complete as of the most recent practicable date, and shall provide to Parent such additional information (including updated lists of stockholders, mailing labels and lists of securities positions), and such other assistance as Parent or its agents may reasonably request in connection with the Offer or the Mergers. The information contained in any such labels, listings and files shall be subject in all respects to the Confidentiality Agreement.

SECTION 2. MERGER TRANSACTIONS

2.1 The Mergers. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and, in respect of the First Merger, in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL, and, in respect of the Second Merger, in accordance with the Limited Liability Act of the State of Delaware (the “DLLCA”), (a) at the First Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall consummate the First Merger, whereby Purchaser shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate existence of Purchaser shall cease and the Company shall continue as the First Surviving Corporation, and the separate corporate existence of the Company, with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, and (b) immediately thereafter, and as part of the same plan, at the Second Effective Time, the First Surviving Corporation shall be merged with and into Merger Sub 2, whereupon the separate existence of the First Surviving Corporation will cease, with Merger Sub 2 surviving the Second Merger (Merger Sub 2, as the surviving entity of the Second Merger, sometimes being referred to herein as the “Surviving Company”), such that following the Second Merger, the Surviving Company will be a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Holdings.

2.2 Effects of the Mergers. The First Merger shall be governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL. The Parties shall take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the First Merger to become effective as soon as practicable following the Acceptance Time, without a meeting of stockholders of the Company in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL. The First Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. The Second Merger shall have the effects provided in this Agreement and as specified in the DGCL and the DLLCA.

2.3 Closing; Effective Times.

(a) Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 8, and unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Company, Parent, Purchaser, Holdings and Merger Sub 2, the consummation of the Mergers (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Company counsel, at 7:45 a.m. Eastern Time, as promptly as practicable (but in any event no later than the third Business Day) following the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Section 7 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), unless another date or place is agreed to in writing by the Company and Parent. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, concurrently with or as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, the Parties shall file or cause to be filed (a) a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with respect to the First Merger (the “First Certificate of Merger”), in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL and (b) following the filing of the First Certificate of Merger, a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with respect to the Second Merger (the “Second Certificate of Merger”), in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL and DLLCA. The First Merger shall become effective upon the date and time of the filing of such First Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such later date and time as is agreed upon in writing

by the Parties and specified in the certificate of merger (such date and time, the “First Effective Time”). The Second Merger shall become effective upon the date and time of the filing of such Second Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such later date and time as is agreed upon in writing by the Parties and specified in the certificate of merger (such date and time, the “Second Effective Time”).

(ii) the manager of Merger Sub 2 immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be and become the manager of the Surviving Company; and

(iii) the officers of the First Surviving Corporation immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Company.

2.5 Tax Consequences. The parties intend that for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, (a) the acquisition of the Shares pursuant to the Offer and the Mergers together constitute a single integrated transaction that will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and (b) this Agreement, including any amendment thereto, be and is hereby adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for such reorganization for purposes of Section 354 and Section 361 of the Code.

2.6 Conversion of Shares.

(a) At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Purchaser, the Company or any Company Stockholder:

(i) any Shares then held by the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury) shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) any Shares then held by Parent, Purchaser or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) any Shares irrevocably accepted for purchase in the Offer shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

(iv) except as provided in clauses “(i)”, “(ii)” and “(iii)” above and subject to Section 2.7, Section 2.8 and Section 2.13, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares, as defined below, but including Shares paid to a holder of a vested Company Equity Award immediately prior to the First Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.11(a), Section 2.11(c), Section 2.11(e) or to the holder of a Company Warrant pursuant to Section 2.11(k)) shall, subject to any applicable Taxes required to be deducted or withheld, be converted into the right to receive, without interest, at the election of the holder: (i) the Cash Consideration, (ii) the Stock Consideration, or (iii) the Mixed Consideration (in each case, the “Merger Consideration”), in each case subject to proration as set forth in Section 2.7(c) and the other provisions of this Section 2, and each holder of a Certificate or a Book-Entry Share shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with Section 2.9; and

(v) each share of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Purchaser outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock of the First Surviving Corporation.

(b) At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any further action on the part of any of the Parties or holders of any securities of the First Surviving Corporation or of Merger Sub 2, (i) each membership interest of Merger Sub 2 issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall remain outstanding as a membership interest of the Surviving Company and (ii) all shares of common stock of the First Surviving Corporation shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any consideration being payable therefor.

2.7 Elections; Proration.

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.7, each holder of Shares (including Shares paid to the holder of a vested Company Equity Award immediately prior to the First Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.11(a), Section 2.11(c), Section 2.11(e) or to the holder of a Company Warrant pursuant to Section 2.11(k)), as applicable, as of immediately prior to the consummation of the First Merger entitled to Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv) shall be entitled to elect (1) a number of Cash Election Shares, (2) a number of Stock Election Shares, and (3) a number of Mixed Election Shares. Any Cash Election, Stock Election or Mixed Election shall be made on a form for that purpose prepared by Parent that is reasonably acceptable to the Company (a “Form of Election in Merger”), which shall be mailed to such holders of Shares promptly after the Closing Date (such date, the “Mailing Date”). The deadline for submitting an effective, properly completed Form of Election in Merger to the Exchange Agent shall be 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 20th day following the Mailing Date (or such other time and date as the Parties may mutually agree) (the “Election Deadline”). The Election Deadline shall not be waived unless such Election Deadline is waived with respect to all Company Stockholders, the new election deadline is publicly disclosed to all holders on a date mutually agreed to by Parent and the Company, and Parent has otherwise given its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such waiver. Holders of record of Shares who hold such Shares as nominees, trustees or in other representative capacities may submit multiple Forms of Election in Merger on behalf of their respective beneficial holders.

(b) Any election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Form of Election in Merger by the Election Deadline. Any Form of Election in Merger may be revoked or changed by the authorized Person properly submitting such Form of Election in Merger, by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline. In the event a Form of Election in Merger is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the Shares represented by such Form of Election in Merger shall become Mixed Election Shares, except to the extent a subsequent election is properly made with respect to any or all of such Shares prior to the Election Deadline. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Form of Election in Merger, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in any Form of Election in Merger, and any good-faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. None of Parent, Purchaser, the Company or the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in a Form of Election in Merger.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Cash Election Shares and Stock Election Shares eligible to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv) shall be subject to proration as described in this Section 2.7(c).

(i) The maximum number of Shares which shall be eligible to receive the Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv) shall equal 35.98% of the aggregate number of Shares entitled to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to 2.6(a)(iv) (excluding Mixed Election Shares and No Election Shares) (the “Maximum Cash Shares in Merger”).

(ii) If the total number of Cash Election Shares eligible to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv) exceeds the Maximum Cash Shares in Merger, such Cash Elections shall be subject to proration as follows: for each such Cash Election, the number of Shares that shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration shall be (A) the total number of Cash Election Shares eligible to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv) multiplied by (B) the Merger Cash Proration Factor, rounded down to the

nearest Share. The “Merger Cash Proration Factor” means a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Maximum Cash Shares in Merger and (y) the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares eligible to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv). The Cash Election Shares that were not converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.7(c)(ii) shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration.

(iii) The maximum number of Shares which shall be eligible to receive the Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv) shall equal 64.02% of the aggregate number of Shares entitled to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv) (excluding Mixed Election Shares and No Election Shares) (the “Maximum Stock Shares in Merger”).

(iv) If the total number of Stock Election Shares eligible to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv) exceeds the Maximum Stock Shares in Merger, such Stock Elections shall be subject to proration as follows: For each such Stock Election, the number of Shares that shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration shall be (A) the total number of Stock Election Shares eligible to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv) multiplied by (B) the Merger Stock Proration Factor, rounded down to the nearest Company Share. The “Merger Stock Proration Factor” means a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Maximum Stock Shares in Merger and (y) the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of Stock Election Shares eligible to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv). The Stock Election Shares that were not converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.7(c)(iv) shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.

(d) All prorations resulting from either Section 2.7(c)(ii) or Section 2.7(c)(iv) shall be applied on a pro rata basis, such that each holder of Shares eligible to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv) bears its proportionate share of the proration, based on a percentage of the total Cash Election Shares or Stock Election Shares, as applicable, elected by such holder of Shares bears to all Cash Election Shares or Stock Election Shares, as applicable, elected by holders of Shares in the First Merger.

(e) Each Share eligible to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv) for which an election shall not have been properly made by the Election Deadline shall be deemed to be a Mixed Election Share and shall only be entitled to the right to receive the Mixed Consideration in accordance with Section 2.6(a)(iv). In no event shall any Mixed Election Shares be subject to proration pursuant to Section 2.7(c)(ii) or Section 2.7(c)(iv).

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock (A) issued pursuant to the Offer, (B) issuable pursuant to the First Merger, (C) issuable pursuant to the Company Warrants, (D) covered by equity awards granted by Parent pursuant to Section 2.11(b) and Section 2.11(d) and (D) issuable upon exercise or conversion of all convertible securities assumed by Parent in the Mergers, constitute such a percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock the issuance of which would require any stockholder action under the NYSE Rules or TSX Rules.

2.8 Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration, Maximum Cash Shares in Merger, Merger Cash Proration Factor and Merger Stock Proration Factor shall be adjusted appropriately, without duplication, to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the number of Shares or shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding after the date hereof and prior to the First Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 2.8 shall 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.

2.9 Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Fund. Prior to the First Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the exchange agent in connection with the First Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). The Exchange Agent shall also act as the agent for the holders of the Shares for the purpose of receiving and holding their Certificates and Book-Entry Shares and shall obtain no rights or interests in the shares represented thereby. At or immediately after the First Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (i) evidence of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv) in book-entry form equal to the aggregate Parent Common Stock portion of the Merger Consideration (excluding any Fractional Share Consideration) and (ii) cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration, including the Cash Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.11(g) and the Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.13 (such evidence of book-entry shares of Parent Common Stock and cash amounts, together with any dividends or other distributions with respect thereto, the “Exchange Fund”), in each case, for the sole benefit of the holders of Shares and holders of Company DSU awards; provided that no such deposits shall be required to be made with respect to any Dissenting Shares and any such deposit that is made shall be returned to Parent upon demand. In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient (other than as a result of payment of the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement) to pay the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration, including the Cash Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.11(g) and the Fractional Share Consideration, and any amounts payable in respect of dividends or other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.13, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Exchange Agent in an amount that is equal to the shortfall that is required to make such payment. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to make, and the Exchange Agent shall make, delivery of the Merger Consideration, including the Cash Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.11(g) and payment of the Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.13, out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated P-1 or A-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Shares pursuant to this Section 2. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

(b) Procedures for Surrender.

(i) Company Common Stock Certificates. Promptly after the First Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the First Effective Time represented outstanding Shares (the “Certificates”) and whose shares of Shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration into which such Shares have been converted pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv), including any amount payable in respect of Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.13, and any dividends or other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.9(f). Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2, including any Fractional Share Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.13, for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the validly surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that (x) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (y) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid.

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. Any holder of non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) and whose Shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one (1) or more Book-Entry Shares shall

automatically upon the First Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the First Effective Time the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2, including any Fractional Share Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.13, for each Share formerly represented by such Book-Entry Share, and the Book-Entry Share so exchanged shall be forthwith cancelled. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(iii) Company DSUs. Any holder of Company DSUs whose Company DSUs were cancelled pursuant to Section 2.11(g) in exchange for the right to receive the Cash Consideration shall automatically upon the First Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as set forth in Section 2.11(g), the applicable Cash Consideration payable to such holder pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11(g). The Company shall automatically upon the First Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as set forth in Section 2.11(g), the applicable Cash Consideration payable to the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11(g).

(iv) No Interest. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of any Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or in respect of any Book-Entry Share.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. At the First Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Common Stock on the records of the Company. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.9, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the First Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Section 2, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10. If, after the First Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to Parent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund; No Liability. At any time following the twelve-month anniversary of the First Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) remaining in the Exchange Fund that have not been disbursed, or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Exchange Agent’s routine administrative procedures, to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the applicable Merger Consideration, including any amount payable in respect of Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.13, payable upon due surrender of their Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.9(b), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Parent, the Company, Purchaser, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration or other amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share two years after the First Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall become, to the extent permitted by Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond, the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv), including any amount payable in respect of Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.13.

(f) Dividends or Distributions with Respect to Parent Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the First Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable hereunder, and all such dividends and other distributions shall be paid by Parent to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the valid surrender of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to applicable Law, following valid surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) or Book-Entry Share there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, (i) 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 to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement 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 and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock.

2.10 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time other than shares cancelled in accordance with Section 2.6(a)(i) or Section 2.6(a)(ii), and held by holders who are entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL and have properly exercised and perfected their respective demands for appraisal of such shares in the time and manner provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and, as of the First Effective Time, have neither effectively withdrawn nor lost their rights to such appraisal and payment under the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration, but shall be entitled only to payment of the fair value of such Shares as shall be determined pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL in respect of any such shares; provided that if any such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to appraisal, such holder’s Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the First Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon (less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.12), and such shares shall not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands for appraisal of any Shares, of any withdrawals of such demands and of any other instruments received by the Company under Section 262 of the DGCL, and Parent shall have the right to participate in (at its own expense) all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, without the

prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands. The Company shall provide each of the holders of Company Common Stock as of the record date for the purpose of receiving the notice required by Section 262(d) of the DGCL with the notice contemplated thereby as part of the Schedule 14D-9.

2.11 Treatment of Company Equity Awards; Company Warrants.

(a) Vested Company RSUs. Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, the portion of each Company RSU award that is then outstanding and either (i) then vested in accordance with the terms of the Company Equity Plan and award agreement evidencing such Company RSU award, as applicable or (ii) subject to accelerated vesting as a result of the completion of the Transactions, shall, without any action on the part of Parent, Purchaser, the Company, the holder thereof, or any other Person, be settled and paid to such holder in Shares (net of any Shares equal in value to any applicable Tax to be deducted or withheld in respect thereof) and such holder shall have the right to submit an election with respect to such settled and paid Shares in accordance with the applicable procedures set forth in Section 2.7 hereof.

2.13 Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent.

(c) All non-public or other confidential information provided by the Company or any of its Representatives to Parent pursuant to this Agreement will be kept confidential by Parent and each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Representatives in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Parent will be permitted to disclose such information to any financing sources or prospective financing sources that are or may become parties to the Financing (and, in each case, to their respective counsel and auditors) so long as such information is furnished by Parent subject to a binding confidentiality, non-disclosure or similar agreement between Parent and such financing source or prospective financing source, as applicable.

(d) Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation described above in this Section 6.16. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities or losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), in each case, except to the extent such liabilities or losses are suffered or incurred directly as a result of the bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, in each case, their respective Representatives.

(e) The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos and other trademarks in connection with the Financing in a manner that is customary for similar transactions; provided, that such logos and trademarks are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, and is not reasonably likely to, harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their reputation or the goodwill of any of them or of any of their marks.

6.17 Further Assurances. If, at any time before or after the Acceptance Time, the Company or Purchaser reasonably believes that any further instruments, deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Transactions or to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement, then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company and Purchaser shall, and Purchaser shall cause Parent to, execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments, instruments and assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Transactions and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

SECTION 7. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE FIRST MERGER

The obligations of the Parties to effect the First Merger are subject to the satisfaction, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions:

7.1 No Restraints. There shall not have been issued by any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction and remain in effect any judgment, temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order preventing the consummation of the Mergers, nor shall there be any pending or threatened (in writing) Action by any Governmental Entity, or any Law or order promulgated, entered, enforced, enacted, issued or deemed applicable to the Mergers by any Governmental Entity which prohibits, or makes illegal the consummation of the Mergers.

7.2 Consummation of Offer. Purchaser (or Parent on Purchaser’s behalf) shall have accepted for payment all of the Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not validly withdrawn.

SECTION 8. TERMINATION

8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the First Effective Time:

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(b) by either Parent or the Company if the Offer (as may be extended in accordance with this Agreement) shall have expired as a result of the non-satisfaction of one or more Offer Conditions, or is terminated or withdrawn prior to the Acceptance Time in accordance with this Agreement, without Purchaser having accepted for payment any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that a Party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) if the non-satisfaction of any such Offer Conditions, termination or withdrawal of the Offer is attributable to a failure on the part of such Party to perform in any material respect any covenant or obligation in this Agreement required to be performed by such Party at or prior to the Acceptance Time and such Party has not cured such failure within 10 days after having received notice thereof from the other Party;

(c) by either Parent or the Company if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling, or shall have taken any other action, having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to the Offer or the Mergers or making consummation of the Offer or the Mergers illegal, which order, decree, ruling or other action shall be final and nonappealable; provided, however, that a Party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if a breach by such Party of any provision of this Agreement shall have been the primary cause of, or resulted in, such event;

(d) by Parent at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, if, whether or not permitted to do so: (i) the Company Board or any committee thereof shall have made a Company Adverse Change Recommendation or otherwise approved, endorsed or recommended an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) the Company, any Acquired Corporation or any of their respective Representatives has intentionally and materially breached any of their respective obligations under Section 5.6 (each of the foregoing “Triggering Event”);

(e) by either Parent or the Company if the Acceptance Time shall not have occurred on or prior to the close of business on July 13, 2020 (such date, the “End Date”); provided, however, that a Party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if the failure of the Acceptance Time to occur prior to the End Date is attributable to the failure on the part of such Party to perform in any material respect any covenant or obligation in this Agreement required to be performed by such Party;

(f) by the Company, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, in order to accept a Superior Offer and, concurrent with such termination, to enter into a binding written definitive acquisition agreement providing for the consummation of a transaction constituting a Superior Offer (a “Specified Agreement”), if (i) the Company has complied in all material respects with the requirements of Section 5.6 and Section 6.1 with respect to such Superior Offer, (ii) the Company Board shall have authorized the Company to enter into such Specified Agreement and (iii) prior to or substantially concurrently with such termination, the Company pays the Termination Fee as provided in Section 8.3(b);

(g) by Parent at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, if (i) neither Parent nor Purchaser is in material breach of this Agreement and (ii) (A) the Company shall have breached, failed to perform or violated its covenants or agreements under this Agreement or (B) any of the representations or warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have become inaccurate, in either case of clauses (A) or (B), in a manner that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions to the Offer set forth in clauses (b) or (c) of Annex I and such breach, failure to perform, violation or inaccuracy is not capable of being cured by the End Date or, if capable of being cured by the End Date, is not cured by the Company within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice from Parent of such breach, failure to perform, violation or inaccuracy;

(h) by the Company at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, if (i) the Company is not in material breach of this Agreement and (ii) (A) Parent or Purchaser shall have breached, failed to perform or violated its covenants or agreements under this Agreement or (B) any of the representations or warranties of Parent or Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall have become inaccurate, in either case of clauses (A) or (B), which such breach, failure to perform, violation or inaccuracy (without giving effect to any qualification as to materiality or Parent Material Adverse Effect contained therein) would reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, or any other material adverse effect on the ability of Parent or Purchaser to consummate the Transactions, including the Offer and the Mergers, prior to the End Date, and in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B) such breach, failure to perform, violation or inaccuracy is not capable of being cured by the End Date or, if capable of being cured by the End Date, is not cured by Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice from the Company of such breach, failure to perform, violation or inaccuracy; or

(i) by the Company, if (i) the conditions set forth in Annex I have been satisfied or waived at the Expiration Date (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Acceptance Time, but subject to those conditions being able to be satisfied) and (ii) Purchaser shall have failed to consummate (as defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL) the Offer within five Business Days following the Expiration Date; provided, that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.1(i) to the contrary, the Company shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(i) during any such five Business Day period.

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other Party or Parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Purchaser or the Company or their respective Representatives, stockholders and Affiliates following any

such termination; provided, however, that (a) this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect, (b) the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and (c) the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any Party from any liability for common law fraud or, except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of Section 8.3(b), any Willful Breach of this Agreement prior to the date of termination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that any failure of Parent or Purchaser to satisfy its obligation to accept for payment or pay for Shares following satisfaction of the Offer Conditions, and any failure of Parent to cause the Mergers to be effected following satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7, will be deemed to constitute an Willful Breach of this Agreement. Nothing shall limit or prevent any Party from exercising any rights or remedies it may have under Section 9.5(b) in lieu of terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1.

8.3 Expenses; Termination Fees.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 6.2(a) and in this Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Offer and Merger are consummated.

(b) In the event that:

(i) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(f);

(ii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.1(e), in each case, within ten calendar days after the occurrence of a Triggering Event; or

(iii) (x) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(g), (y) any Person shall have publicly disclosed an Acquisition Proposal or otherwise communicated an Acquisition Proposal to the Company Board after the Agreement Date and prior to such termination (unless withdrawn prior to such termination) and (z) within 12 months of such termination (A) the Company shall have entered into a definitive agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal or consummates such Acquisition Proposal (provided that for purposes of this clause (z) the references to “15%” in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”);

then, in any such event under clause “(i)”, “(ii)” or “(iii)” of this Section 8.3(b), the Company shall pay to Parent or its designee the Termination Fee by wire transfer of same day funds (x) in the case of Section 8.3(b)(i), prior to or substantially concurrently with the termination of this Agreement and execution of the Specified Agreement, (y) in the case of Section 8.3(b)(ii), within two Business Days after such termination or (z) in the case of Section 8.3(b)(iii), upon the earlier to occur of two Business Days after entry into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition Proposal referred to in subclause (iii)(z) above; it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion. As used herein,

“Termination Fee” means a cash amount equal to $18,940,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Termination Fee is payable pursuant to this Section 8.3(b) and the Company has paid the Termination Fee to Parent in accordance with this Section 8.3, Parent’s receipt of the Termination Fee and the payment of any amounts due pursuant to Section 8.3(b) shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Purchaser under this Agreement, and upon payment of such amounts, no Acquired Corporation and no former, current or future Representative of any Acquired Corporation shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Transactions.

(c) The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the Transactions, that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement and that the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is a reasonable amount that shall compensate Parent and Purchaser in the circumstances in which such payment is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

9.1 Amendment. Prior to the First Effective Time, this Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties (as approved by action taken by its board of directors), subject to Section 9.11.

9.2 Waiver. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. No Party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given and be subject to Section 9.11.

9.3 No Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, or contained in any certificate, schedule or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with any of the Transactions, shall survive the Mergers.

9.4 Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement, the Tender Agreement and the other agreements and schedules referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the Parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded and shall remain in full force and effect; provided further that, if the First Effective Time occurs, the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by PDF shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

9.5 Applicable Laws; Jurisdiction; Specific Performance; Remedies.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Subject to Section 9.5(c), in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any of the Transactions: (i) each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom or, if (and only if) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division) and any state appellate court therefrom or, if (and only if) the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division) declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, the United States District Court sitting in New Castle County in the State of Delaware and the applicable appellate courts therefrom (it being agreed that the consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 9.5(a) shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties) and (ii) each of the Parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such Party is to receive notice in accordance with Section 9.8. The Parties agree that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Laws; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any Party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment.

(b) The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, will occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Subject to the following sentence, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 9.5(a) without proof of the inadequacy of monetary damages or irreparable harm, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, (ii) the provisions set forth in Section 8.3 (A) are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement and (B) shall not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party’s right to specific enforcement and (iii) the right of specific performance is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.5(b) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.

9.6 Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights hereunder may be assigned without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any of such rights without such consent shall be void and of no effect; provided, further, however, that Parent or Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any of their Affiliates (provided that such assignment shall not impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions or otherwise impede the rights of the stockholders of the Company under this Agreement); provided that no such assignment or pledge permitted pursuant to this Section 9.6 shall relieve Parent or Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.

9.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the Parties) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; except for: (i) if the Acceptance Time occurs (A) the right of the Company Stockholders to receive the Merger Consideration, as applicable and (B) the right of the holders of Company Equity Awards and holders of Company Warrants to receive the Merger Consideration and Parent equity awards pursuant to Section 2.11; and (ii) the rights of the Indemnified Persons under the provisions set forth in Section 6.5 of this Agreement and (iii) as provided in Section 9.11.

9.8 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to any Party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered, given and received (a) upon receipt when delivered by hand, (b) two Business Days after being sent by overnight express delivery service, (c) if sent by email transmission prior to 6:00 p.m. recipient’s local time, upon transmission to the recipient’s electronic mail address or (d) if sent by email transmission after 6:00 p.m. recipient’s local time to the recipient’s electronic mail address, the Business Day following the date of transmission; provided that in each case the notice or other communication is sent to the physical address or email address set forth beneath the name of such Party below (or to such other physical address or email address as such Party shall have specified in a written notice given to the other Parties):

If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power

to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

ARTICLE 6

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 6.01 Indemnification of Directors and Officers in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other than those by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Sections 6.03 and 6.11, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who serves or has served as a director or officer of the Corporation and who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was such a director or officer, or is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea or nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 6.02 Indemnification of Directors and Officers in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Sections 6.03 and 6.11, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who serves or has served as a director or officer of the Corporation and who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was such a director or officer, or is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

C-8

Section 6.03 Procedure. Any indemnification under this Article 6 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (a) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (b) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (d) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding set forth in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

Section 6.04 Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 6.03, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on good faith reliance on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 6.04 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 6.04 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02, as the case may be.

Section 6.05 Indemnification by a Court. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 6.03, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 6.01 or Section 6.02. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 6.03 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the

C-9

director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

Section 6.06 Expenses Payable in Advance. Subject to Section 6.11, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by a current or former director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding with respect to which indemnification may be provided under Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 above shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article 6. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors or officers may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate, consistent with its obligation to promptly pay all such expenses actually and reasonably incurred.

Section 6.07 Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article 6 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses are or at any time may be entitled under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Certificate of Incorporation, any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 6.01 and Section 6.02 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article 6 shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or otherwise.

Section 6.08 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article 6.

Section 6.09 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article 6, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger with the Corporation which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and

C-10

authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agent so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article 6 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article 6, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect of any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article 6.

Section 6.10 Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article 6 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Accordingly, unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Article 6 to a director or officer shall also include a former director or officer.

Section 6.11 Limitation on Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 6 to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 6.05), the Corporation shall not be obligated under this Article 6 to indemnify, or advance expenses to, any person in connection with (a) a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors, or (b) proceedings or claims involving the enforcement of any employment, severance, lock-up, non-competition, compensation, or other plan or agreement with or of the Corporation or any of its affiliates to which such person may be a party, or of which such person may be a beneficiary, or (c) any proceeding with respect to which final judgment is rendered against such person for payment or an accounting of profits arising from the purchase or sale by such person of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, any similar successor statute, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law.

Section 6.12 No Retroactive Repeal or Modification. The right of any director or officer to indemnification and advancement of expenses under this Article 6 is provided as a contract right in consideration of and as an inducement for such director’s or officer’s service as such, and shall fully vest at the time such officer or director first assumes his or her position with the Corporation. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions granting indemnification or advancement rights shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director or officer occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE 7

CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

Section 7.01 Stock Certificates. Every holder of stock in the Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate in the form prescribed by the Board of Directors signed on behalf of the Corporation by any two authorized officers of the Corporation, representing the number of shares owned by him in the Corporation. Any or all signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.

Section 7.02 Lost Certificates. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 7.03 Transfers of Stock. Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.

Section 7.04 Fixing Record Date. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action. Such record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and such record date shall not be (i) in the case of such a meeting of stockholders, more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of the meeting of stockholders, or (ii) in the case of consents in writing without a meeting, more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, or (iii) in other cases, more than 60 days prior to the payment or allotment or change, conversion or exchange or other action.

FORUM SELECTION BYLAW

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be the sole and exclusive forum for “all internal corporate claims”. For purposes of this Article 9, “internal corporate claims” means claims (i) that are based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director, officer or stockholder in such capacity or (ii) as to which the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery, except for, as to each of (i) and (ii) above, any claim (an “Alternative Court Claim”) as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. In the case of an Alternative Court Claim, unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, all internal corporate claims shall be submitted to any federal or state court sitting in the State of Delaware having jurisdiction over all indispensable parties and having subject matter jurisdiction with respect to such Alternative Court Claim

Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement

shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

9.5 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and any other documents delivered by the parties in connection herewith constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

9.6 Assignment; Binding Effect. No party may assign (by merger, operation of Law or otherwise) either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties; provided, that each of Parent or Purchaser may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any one or more direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries of Parent without the consent of Stockholder, but no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement will be void ab initio.

9.7 Independence of Obligations. Stockholder is signing this Agreement solely in Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company and not, if applicable, in any other capacity (including Stockholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Acquired Corporation, as applicable). The covenants and obligations of Stockholder set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as independent of any other agreement or arrangement between Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Company or Parent, on the other. The existence of any claim or cause of action by Stockholder against the Company or Parent shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of such covenants or obligations against Stockholder.

9.8 Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Subject to Section 9.8(c), in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby: (i) each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom or, if (and only if) such the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division) and any state appellate court therefrom or, if (and only if) the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division) declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, the United States District Court sitting in New Castle County in the State of Delaware and the applicable appellate courts therefrom (it being agreed that the consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 9.8(a) shall not constitute general consents to service of process in

II-10

the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties hereto) and (ii) each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such party is to receive notice in accordance with Section 9.3. The parties agree that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Laws; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment.

(b) The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, will occur in the event that the parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Subject to the following sentence, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 9.8(a) without proof of the inadequacy of monetary damages or irreparable harm, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (ii) the right of specific performance is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, none of the parties hereto would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.8(b) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

9.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by portable document format (PDF) or other electronic transmission, including by e-mail attachment, shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

9.10 Waiver. No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of such party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power,

II-11

right, privilege or remedy. No party shall not be deemed to have waived any claim available to it arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy of it under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

9.11 Termination. This Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate, and no party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder and thereunder, and this Agreement shall be revoked and become null and void on, and have no further effect as of, the Expiration Date (other than this Article IX). Nothing in this Section 9.11 shall relieve any party from any liability for any willful, knowing and material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to the termination of this Agreement.

9.12 Directors and Officers. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict a director or officer of the Company in the taking of any actions (or failure to act) in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any Acquired Corporation, or in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any Acquired Corporation, or prevent or be construed to create any obligation on the part of any director officer of the Company or any Acquired Corporation from taking any action in his or her capacity as such director or officer.
