Company Option); multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise in full of such Company Option (the “Option Consideration”); provided, however, that with respect to each Company Option granted on or after December 7, 2018 (each such Company Option, a “Cash Rollover Company Option”), the Option Consideration will, subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates, vest and be payable at the same time as the Cash Rollover Company Option for which such Option Consideration was exchanged would have vested pursuant to its terms (the Option Consideration payable to holders of Cash Rollover Company Options, the “Cash Replacement Option Amounts”). All Cash Replacement Option Amounts will have the same terms and conditions (including, with respect to vesting (including accelerated vesting on specific terminations of employment, to the extent applicable)) as applied to the award of Cash Rollover Company Options for which they were exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to Company Options for which the exercise price per share attributable to such Company Options is equal to or greater than the Per Share Price, such Company Options will be cancelled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof.

(b) Company RSUs. At the Effective Time each Company RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will, without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into and will become a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (i) the amount of the Per Share Price; multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU (the “RSU Consideration”); provided, that 50% of the RSU Consideration shall be payable on the Closing Date and the remaining 50% of the RSU Consideration (the “Pre ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ Cash Amount”) shall vest and be payable in accordance with the terms of such Company RSU for which such Pre 2018 RSU Cash Amount was exchanged, subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates (or, if earlier than the applicable vesting dates, with one-half of the remaining 50% vesting and payable on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and the remaining portion vesting and payable on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to such continued service). For each Company RSU granted on or after December 7, 2018 (each such Company RSU, a “Cash Rollover Company RSU”), the RSU Consideration (the RSU Consideration payable to holders of Cash Rollover Company RSUs, the “Cash Replacement RSU Amounts”) will, subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates, vest and be payable in accordance with the terms of such Cash Rollover Company RSU for which such Cash Replacement RSU Amount was exchanged, provided that no less than 50% of each applicable Company RSU holder’s Cash Replacement RSU Amount shall vest and be payable on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and any unvested portion of the applicable Company RSU holder’s Cash Replacement RSU Amount shall vest and be payable on the second anniversary of the Closing Date. Except as set forth in this Section with respect to specific vesting dates, all Cash Replacement RSU Amounts and Pre ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ Cash Amounts will have the same terms and conditions (including, with respect to vesting (including accelerated vesting on specific terminations of employment, to the extent applicable)) as applied to the award of Cash Rollover Company RSUs or Company RSUs, as applicable, for which they were exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

-22-

(c) Company PSUs. At the Effective Time (i) each Other Company PSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will, without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled for no consideration and (ii) each Specified Company PSU granted on December 8, 2017 or March 9, 2018 outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will, without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into and will become a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (x) the amount of the Per Share Price; multiplied by (y) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Specified Company PSU, with any performance-based vesting conditions deemed achieved based on actual performance during the applicable performance period, which shall be shortened to end on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “PSU Consideration”); provided, however, that with respect to each Specified Company PSU granted on or after December 7, 2018 (each such Specified Company PSU, a “Cash Rollover Specified Company PSU”), the PSU Consideration shall equal (i) the Per Share Price; multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Specified Company PSU, with any performance-based vesting conditions deemed achieved at target, and such PSU Consideration (the PSU Consideration payable to holders of Cash Rollover Specified Company PSUs, the “Cash Replacement PSU Amounts”) will, subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates, vest and be payable in accordance with the terms of such Cash Rollover Specified Company PSU for which such Cash Replacement PSU Amount was exchanged, provided that no less than 50% of each applicable Cash Rollover Specified Company PSU holder’s Cash Replacement PSU Amount shall vest and be payable on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and any unvested portion of the applicable Cash Rollover Specified Company PSU holder’s Cash Replacement PSU Amount shall vest and be payable on the second anniversary of the Closing Date . Except as set forth in this Section with respect to specific vesting dates, all Cash Replacement PSU Amounts will have the same terms and conditions (including, with respect to vesting (including accelerated vesting on specific terminations of employment, to the extent applicable)) as applied to the award of Cash Rollover Company Specified Company PSUs for which they were exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Payment Procedures. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the aggregate (i) Option Consideration owed to all holders of Company Options that are not Cash Rollover Company Options (such Company Options, “Cashout Company Options”); (ii) RSU Consideration (other than Pre 2018 RSU Cash Amounts) owed to all holders of Company RSUs that are not Cash Rollover Company RSUs (such Company RSUs, “Cashout Company RSUs”); and (iii) PSU Consideration owed to all holders of Specified Company PSUs that are not Cash Rollover Specified Company PSUs (such Specified Company PSUs, “Cashout Specified Company PSUs”). As soon as practicable after the Closing Date but in any event no later than the later of (x) three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date and (y) the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the Closing Date, the applicable holders of Cashout Company Options, Cashout Company RSUs and Cashout Specified Company PSUs

-23-

(collectively, “Cashout Company Equity Awards”) will receive a payment from the Company or the Surviving Corporation, through its payroll system or payroll provider, of all amounts required to be paid to such holders in respect of such Cashout Company Equity Awards that are cancelled and converted pursuant to Section 2.8(a), Section 2.8(b) and Section 2.8(c) as applicable; provided, that if any payment owed to a holder of Cashout Company Equity Awards pursuant to Section 2.8(a), Section 2.8(b) or Section 2.8(c) as applicable, cannot be made through the Company’s or the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system or payroll provider, then the Surviving Corporation will (i) by wire transfer or direct deposit, or (ii) by a check sent by overnight courier to such holder promptly following the Closing Date (but in no event later than the later of (x) three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date and (y) the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the Closing Date) provide such payment owed to such holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such amounts relate to a Company RSU or Specified Company PSU that is nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Surviving Corporation shall pay such amounts at the earliest time permitted under the terms of the applicable agreement, plan or arrangement relating to such Company RSU or Specified Company PSU that will not trigger a tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

(e) Further Actions. The Company will take all action necessary to effect the cancellation of the Company Equity Awards upon the Effective Time and to give effect to this Section 2.8 (including the satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act). If and as required by Parent or Merger Sub, the Company will take all action necessary to terminate all Company Stock Plans prior to or as of the Effective Time.

2.9 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall (i) select a nationally recognized bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent”); and (ii) enter into a payment agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, with such Payment Agent.

(b) Payment Fund. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, for payment to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.7, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which such holders of shares of Company Common Stock become entitled pursuant to Section 2.7. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such cash shall be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, in (i) obligations of or fully guaranteed by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States with a maturity of no more than 30 days; (ii) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively; or (iii) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1,000,000,000 (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available) (such cash and any proceeds thereon, the “Payment Fund”). To the extent that (A) there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Payment Fund; (B) the Payment Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Payment Agent to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by Section 2.7; or (C) all or any portion of the Payment Fund is unavailable for Parent (or the

-24-

Payment Agent on behalf of Parent) to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by Section 2.7 for any reason, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the amount of cash in the Payment Fund so as to ensure that the Payment Fund is at all times fully available for distribution and maintained at a level sufficient for the Payment Agent to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.7. Any income from investment of the Payment Fund will be payable to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as Parent directs. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than the payment to holders of shares of Company Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.7.

(c) Payment Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Owned Company Shares) of one or more certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than Owned Company Shares) (the “Certificates” (if any)) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates will pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent), and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Per Share Price payable with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby pursuant to Section 2.7. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates by (y) the Per Share Price, and the Certificates so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no record holder of uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock (other than Owned Company Shares) (the “Uncertificated Shares”) will be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Payment Agent in order to receive the payment that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.7 with respect of such Uncertificated Shares. In lieu thereof, such record holder, upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Payment Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request), will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s transferred Uncertificated Shares by (2) the Per Share Price, and the transferred Uncertificated Shares will be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the Per Share Price payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and transfer of Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 2.9(c). Until so surrendered or transferred, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7.

(d) DTC Payment. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Payment Agent and the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) with the objective that the Payment Agent shall transmit to DTC or its nominee following the Effective Time on the Closing Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter an amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Owned Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares) held of record by DTC or such nominee immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Price.

-25-

(e) Transfers of Ownership. If payment of the Per Share Price is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or transferred Uncertificated Share in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (i) the Person requesting such exchange present proper evidence of transfer or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Price to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation or Parent that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

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

(g) Distribution of Payment Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent (or the Surviving Corporation as directed by Parent), together with any interest or other income received with respect to the Payment Fund, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time who have not theretofore surrendered or transferred their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall thereafter look for payment of the Per Share Price payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the Per Share Price to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.7. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares five (5) years after the Effective Time, or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority, will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders (and their successors, assigns or personal representatives) previously entitled thereto.

2.10 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, (a) all shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist; and (b) each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares theretofore representing any shares of Company Common Stock will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Price payable therefor in accordance with Section 2.7, or in the case of Dissenting Company Shares, the rights pursuant to Section 2.7(c). The Per Share Price paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there will be no further

-26-

registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they will (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of Section 2.9(c)) be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.11 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange therefor, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. Parent or the Payment Agent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Per Share Price, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such reasonable amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.12 Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Equity Awards, such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom pursuant to any Tax Laws. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(ii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(d) Company Board Recommendation Change; Entry into Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval:

-58-

(1) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least five (5) Business Days in advance to the effect that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) intends to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change, which notice shall specify the basis for such Company Board Recommendation Change, including a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event;

(2) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, during such five (5) Business Day period, the Company has negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent requested to do so) to allow Parent to offer such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Financing Letters in such a manner that would obviate the need to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event; and

(3) following such time period referred to in clause (2) above, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, and taking into account any modifications to this Agreement and the Financing Letters proposed by Parent) that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; or

(ii) if the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that was not the result of a breach of Section 5.3(a) that the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) constitutes a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may (A) effect a Company Board Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal; and/or (B) cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h) to enter into a definitive Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal substantially concurrently with the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) shall not take any action described in the foregoing clauses (A) or (B) unless:

-59-

(4) during the Notice Period, the Company has negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent has requested to do so) to allow Parent to offer such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Financing Letters in such a manner that would obviate the need to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change; and

(5) following the end of the Notice Period, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, and taking into account any modifications to this Agreement and the Financing Letters proposed by Parent) that such Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal and the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(e) Notice. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, the Company will as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify Parent if any Acquisition Proposal (or inquiries, offers or proposals, or any other effort or attempt, that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal) are received by, any non-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or any of its Representatives. Such notice must include (i) the identity of the Person or Group of Persons making such inquiries, offers or proposals; (ii) a summary of the material terms and conditions of such inquiries, offers or proposals; and (iii) copies of any such offers or proposals and drafts of proposed letters of intent, memoranda of understanding, merger agreements, acquisition agreements or other Contracts related thereto provided to the Company or any of its Representatives.

(f) Certain Disclosures. Nothing contained in this Agreement will prohibit the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including a customary “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication); (ii) complying with Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; (iii) complying with the Company’s disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; or (iv) making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders (including regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries) if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (or any committee thereof), after consultation with outside legal counsel, the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable

-60-

Law or violate any disclosure requirements under U.S. federal or state Law; provided that, in each case of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the Company expressly confirms that the Company Board has not changed the Company Board Recommendation in such communication or disclosure and does not include any statement that itself would be a Company Board Recommendation Change.

Prior to the Effective Time, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over their own business and operations.

If the Company determines that it is required to file any document other than the Proxy Statement with the SEC in connection with the Merger pursuant to applicable Law (such document, as amended or supplemented, an “Other Required Company Filing”), then the Company (with the assistance and cooperation of Parent and Merger Sub as reasonably requested by the Company) shall promptly prepare and file such Other Required Company Filing with the SEC. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement and any Other Required Company Filing to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules

-64-

of the SEC and NYSE. The Company may not file the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing (including any amendments to any such filings, but excluding amendments that may be deemed made by incorporation by reference through filings by the Company unrelated to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby) with the SEC without providing Parent and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and the Company shall give good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent and its counsel.

(c) Furnishing Information. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall furnish all information concerning it and its Affiliates, if applicable, as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation and filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement and any Other Required Company Filing. The Company shall ensure that the Proxy Statement and any Other Required Company Filing will not, on the date it is first mailed to stockholders of the Company and at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not false or misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company assumes no responsibility with respect to information supplied in writing by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement. If at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting any information relating to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates should be discovered by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, as the case may be, so that such filing would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other, and an appropriate amendment or supplement to such filing describing such information shall be promptly prepared and filed with the SEC by the appropriate Party and, to the extent required by applicable Law or the SEC or its staff, disseminated to the Company Stockholders.

(d) Consultation Prior to Certain Communications. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, may not communicate in writing with the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing (including with respect to any of the matters described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5.3(d)(ii) below), as the case may be, without providing the other with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such written communication, and such Party shall give good faith consideration to any comments made by the other Party and its counsel.

(e) Notices. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall advise the other, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for (i) any amendment or revisions to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, as the case may be; (ii) any receipt of comments from the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, as the case may be; or (iii) any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for additional information in connection therewith. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve all SEC comments as promptly as practicable.

-65-

(f) Dissemination of Proxy Statement. Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC and confirmation from the SEC that it will not review, or that it has completed its review of, the Proxy Statement (or as promptly as reasonably practicable following the tenth (10^th) calendar day immediately following the date of filing of the preliminary Proxy Statement with the SEC if the Company is not contacted by the SEC during such 10-day period).

6.4 Company Stockholder Meeting.

(a) Call of Company Stockholder Meeting. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and in consultation with Parent, the Company will take all action necessary in accordance with the DGCL, the Company’s Organizational Documents and the rules and regulations of the NYSE to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company Stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval. The Company and Parent agree to cooperate in good faith to establish a timeline for holding the Company Stockholder Meeting as expeditiously as reasonably possible after the date of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall cause the adoption of the Merger Agreement to be submitted to a vote of its stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting notwithstanding any Company Board Recommendation Change, unless such Company Board Recommendation Change is with respect to a Superior Proposal and this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(h).

(b) Adjournment of Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company shall not change the date of, postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing will prevent the Company from postponing or adjourning the Company Stockholder Meeting, and the Company shall postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting if requested by Parent, in either case, (i) to allow additional solicitation of votes in order to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval; (ii) if there are insufficient shares of the Company Common Stock present or represented by proxy at the Company Stockholder Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Stockholder Meeting; or (iii) the Company reasonably determines (after consultation with outside counsel) that the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting by applicable Law or a request from the SEC or its staff, including to the extent that such postponement or adjournment of the Company Stockholder Meeting is required by applicable Law or the SEC or its staff in order to give the Company Stockholders sufficient time to evaluate any information or disclosure that the Company has sent to the Company Stockholders or otherwise made available to the Company Stockholders (including in connection with any Company Board Recommendation Change); provided that, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), and unless there has been a Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit such additional proxies (or the presence in person of the Company Stockholders) as expeditiously as

-66-

reasonably possible; and provided further that, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), the Company shall consult with Parent prior to making such adjournment or postponement and shall make such adjournment or postponement for the minimum amount of time that may be reasonably required, as determined by the Company in good faith after consultation with Parent.

6.5 Financing.

(a) No Amendments to Debt Commitment Letter. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent will not permit any early termination, amendment or modification or replacement to be made to or of, or any waiver or replacement of any provision or remedy pursuant to or of, the Debt Commitment Letter if such amendment, modification or replacement or waiver would, or would reasonably be expected to, (i) reduce the aggregate committed amount of the Debt Financing, to be available on the Closing to satisfy the Financing Uses, unless the Equity Financing is increased by an equivalent amount; (ii) impose new or additional conditions or other terms or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing or any other terms to the Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) delay or prevent the Closing Date; or (B) make the timely funding of the Debt Financing, or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing, less likely to occur in any respect; or (iii) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to enforce its rights against the other Parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or, if applicable, the definitive agreements with respect thereto. Any reference in this Agreement to (1) the “Financing” will include the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as amended, modified, waived or replaced to the extent permitted hereunder; and (2) “Equity Commitment Letter,” “Debt Commitment Letter” or “Financing Letters” will include such documents as amended, modified, waived or replaced to the extent permitted hereunder.

(b) Taking of Necessary Actions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub will use its respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper and advisable to arrange and obtain at Closing the Financing on the terms and conditions (including to the extent required, the full valid exercise of any flex provisions) described in the Financing Letters and any related Fee Letter or on such other terms that are not prohibited by Section 6.5(a), including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Letters in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof; (ii) negotiate, and on the Closing Date, execute and deliver definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and related Fee Letter or other terms which are not prohibited by Section 6.5(a); (iii) taking into account the timing of the Marketing Period and the requirements of Section 2.3, satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to funding that are applicable to Parent in the Debt Commitment Letter and in the Equity Commitment Letter; (iv) consummate the Financing at the Closing, including using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Financing Sources to fund the Financing at the Closing assuming the conditions in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied (except those that by their nature can only be satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date); and (v) comply with its obligations in all material respects pursuant to the Financing Letters. Parent and Merger Sub will fully pay, or cause to be fully paid, all commitment or other fees arising pursuant to the Financing Letters as and when they become due assuming the conditions in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied (except those that by their nature can only be satisfied after giving effect to the Effective Time or the receipt of proceeds from the funding of the Debt Financing).

-67-

(c) Information. To the extent reasonably requested from time to time by the Company, Parent shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub must give the Company prompt notice (A) of any material breach (or written threatened breach) or material default (or any event or circumstance that, with notice or lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach or material default) by any party to the Financing Letters or, if applicable, definitive agreements related to the Financing; (B) of the receipt by Parent or Merger Sub of any written notice or written communication from any Financing Source with respect to any (1) actual or threatened material breach, material default, early termination or repudiation by any party to the Financing Letters or, if applicable, any definitive agreements related to the Financing of any provisions of the Financing Letters or, if applicable, such definitive agreements; or (2) dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Financing Letters or any definitive agreements related to the Financing (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiation with respect to the terms of the Debt Financing or Alternate Debt Financing); and (C) if for any reason Parent or Merger Sub at any time reasonably believes that it will not be able to obtain at or prior to Closing all or any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Letters or, if applicable, any definitive agreements related to the Financing. Parent must provide any information in its possession reasonably requested by the Company relating to any of the circumstances referred to in the previous sentence as soon as reasonably practical (but in any event with two (2) Business Days) after the date that the Company delivers a written request therefor to Parent; provided that, in no event shall Parent be under any obligation to deliver or disclose any information that could reasonably be expected to waive the protection of attorney-client protection or similar privilege.

(d) Alternate Debt Financing. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter, Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to arrange, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, to (i) obtain alternative financing from alternative sources on conditions not less favorable in any respect to Parent and Merger Sub than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letters and the related Fee Letter in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Financing that is available, to pay all Financing Uses (the “Alternate Debt Financing”); and (ii) obtain one or more new financing commitment letters with respect to such Alternate Debt Financing (the “New Debt Commitment Letters”), which new letters will replace the existing Debt Commitment Letters in whole or in part. Parent will promptly provide a copy of any New Debt Commitment Letters (and any fee letter in connection therewith, which may be redacted so long as no redaction covers terms that would adversely affect the aggregate principal amount committed under the Debt Commitment Letters, conditionality, availability or termination of the Alternate Debt Financing) to the Company. In the event that any New Debt Commitment Letters are obtained, (A) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Commitment Letters” will be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letters to the extent not superseded by a New Debt Commitment

-68-

Letter at the time in question and any New Debt Commitment Letters to the extent then in effect; and (B) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing” means the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters as modified pursuant to the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 6.5 shall require, and in no event shall the reasonable best efforts of Parent be deemed or construed to require, Parent to (x) pay any fees or agree to pay any interest rate amounts, in either case, in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof (taking into account any “market flex” provisions contained therein) or to consummate the Debt Financing prior to the date as is required pursuant to Section 2.3 (taking into account the timing of the Marketing Period) or (y) seek or obtain equity financing in excess of the amount provided for in, or form a Person other than the counterparties to, the Equity Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof.

(e) No Financing Condition. Parent and Merger Sub each acknowledge and agree that obtaining the Financing is not a condition to the Closing, but without limiting the Company’s obligations under Section 6.6. If the Financing has not been obtained, Parent and Merger Sub will each continue to be obligated, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, to consummate the Merger.

6.6 Financing Cooperation.

(a) Cooperation. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to, and will use reasonable best efforts to cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers, directors, managers, and employees to use their respective reasonable best efforts and shall use reasonable best efforts to direct its and its Subsidiaries’ respective accountants, advisors and other Representatives to, provide Parent with all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent to assist it in causing the conditions in the Debt Commitment Letters to be satisfied or as is otherwise reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the Debt Financing, including:

(i) participating in, and use reasonable best efforts to cause senior members of management to participate in, a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, due diligence sessions, and sessions with rating agencies;

(ii) assisting Parent and the Debt Financing Sources with, and using reasonable best efforts to cause senior members of management to assist with, the timely preparation of customary rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda related lender presentations and similar documents (including (1) an additional bank information memorandum that does not include material non-public information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries and (2) customary authorization and representation letters contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter), customary pro forma financial statements as required under clause 6 of Exhibit D of the Debt Commitment Letter (which shall be limited to assisting in the preparation of (but not preparing) such pro forma financial statements), and other customary marketing materials reasonably required in connection with the Debt Financing;

-69-

(iii) assisting Parent in connection with the preparation of, and executing and delivering, any pledge, security and other definitive financing documents (including the preparation of schedules thereto) and other Closing certificates, consents and resolutions (including a certificate of the chief financial officer of or person performing similar functions for the Company with respect to solvency matters substantially in the form attached to the Debt Commitment Letter), as may be reasonably requested by Parent or the Debt Financing Sources, in connection with the Debt Financing and to facilitate the pledging and perfection of security interests in the collateral); provided that (A) none of the documents or certificates (other than the authorization and representation letters referred to above) shall be required to be executed and/or delivered prior to the Effective Time except in connection with the Closing and (B) the effectiveness thereof shall be conditioned upon, or become operative upon, the occurrence of the Closing;

(iv) furnishing Parent and the Debt Financing Sources, as promptly as practicable, with (A) the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to paragraph 5 of Exhibit D to the Debt Commitment Letter (such financial information, the “Required Financing Information”) and (B) all other customary and readily available pertinent information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries customarily required in connection with the Debt Financing regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries reasonably requested to be used in connection with the Debt Financing;

(v) provide drafts of the payoff letters and giving (by the date required under the agreements governing such Indebtedness) any necessary notices (including notices of prepayment), to allow for the prepayment, payoff, discharge and termination in full at the Closing of all Indebtedness required by this Agreement to be repaid on the Closing Date; and

(vi) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, provide Parent all documentation and other information with respect to the Closing and its Subsidiaries as shall have been reasonably requested at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and that is required in connection with the Debt Financing by regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act and including, if the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries qualify as “legal entity customers” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, a Beneficial Ownership Certificate (each as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter).

(b) Obligations of the Company. Nothing in this Section 6.6 will require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to (i) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or agree to pay any fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the Effective Time for which it has not received prior reimbursement; (ii) enter into any definitive agreement that is not contingent upon the Closing; (iii) give any indemnities that are effective prior to the Effective Time; (iv) take any action that, in the good faith determination of the Company, would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business or the Company and its Subsidiaries; (v) take any action that could reasonably be expected to result in a contravention of, violation or breach of, or default under, the Agreement, any Organizational Document, material Contract or any applicable Law; or (vi) provide access to or disclose information which would result in waiving any attorney-client privilege or breach of any confidentiality obligation (not entered into in contemplation of this Agreement) in any Material Contract; provided, however, that the Company shall inform Parent of the general nature of the information being withheld. In addition, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers or

-70-

employees or other Representatives shall be required to execute, deliver or enter into, or perform or take any action pursuant to any agreement, arrangement, document or instrument relating to the Debt Financing (other than the authorization and representation letters referred to above) that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Effective Time, the directors and managers of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Debt Financing is obtained unless Parent shall have determined that such directors and managers are to remain as directors and managers of the Company and its Subsidiaries on and after the Effective Time and such resolutions are contingent upon the occurrence of, or only effective as of, the Effective Time and any bank information memoranda and high yield offering prospectuses or memoranda required in relation to the Debt Financing will contain disclosure and financial statements reflecting the Surviving Corporation as the obligor. Nothing in this Section 6.6 will require (1) any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to deliver any certificate or opinion or take any other action under this Section 6.6 that could reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to such Representative; or (2) the Company Board to approve any financing or Contracts related thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have complied with Section 6.6(a) for all purposes of this Agreement (including Article V, Article VI and Article VII) unless the Debt Financing has not been obtained primarily as a result of the Company’s Willful and Material Breach of its obligations under Section 6.6(a). The Parties hereto acknowledge that this Section 6.6 represents the sole obligation of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and other Representatives with respect to the cooperation in connection with the Financing and no other provision of the Agreement (including exhibits and schedules) shall be deemed to expand or modify such obligations.

(c) Use of Logos. The Company hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in a form and manner reasonably acceptable to the Company in connection with the Debt Financing so long as such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended or likely to, and will not, harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and all goodwill arising from the use thereof shall inure to the Company.

(d) Confidentiality. All non-public or other confidential information provided by the Company or any of its Representatives pursuant to this Agreement shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Parent and Merger Sub will be permitted to disclose such information to any financing sources or prospective financing sources and other financial institutions and investors that are or may become parties to the Debt Financing in connection with the Debt Financing (and, in each case, to their respective counsel and auditors), subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(e) Reimbursement. Promptly upon request by the Company, Parent will reimburse the Company for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives in connection with the cooperation of the Company, its Subsidiaries and their Representatives contemplated by this Section 6.6.

-71-

(f) Indemnification. The Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall be indemnified and held harmless by Parent from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), interest, awards, judgments, penalties and amounts paid in settlement suffered or incurred by them in connection with their cooperation in arranging the Financing pursuant to this Agreement or the provision of information utilized in connection therewith, other than to the extent any of the foregoing was suffered or incurred as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company, one of its Subsidiaries or such other related parties as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable order. Parent’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.6(e) and this Section 6.6(f) are referred to collectively as the “Reimbursement Obligations”.

(g) No Exclusive Arrangements. In no event will Guarantor, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates (which for this purpose will be deemed to include each direct investor in Parent or Merger Sub and the financing sources or potential financing sources of Parent, Merger Sub and such investors) enter into any Contract prohibiting or seeking to prohibit any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt or equity financing from providing or seeking to provide debt or equity financing or financial advisory services to any Person, in each case in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or in connection with the Merger.

6.7 Anti-Takeover Laws. The Company and the Company Board shall (a) take all actions within their power to ensure that no “anti-takeover” statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) if any “anti-takeover” statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, take all action within their power to ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as reasonably practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger and such other transactions contemplated hereby.

6.8 Access. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, the Company shall afford Parent and its Representatives (including its Financing Sources) reasonable access, consistent with applicable Law, during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance request provided in writing to the General Counsel of the Company, or another Person designated in writing by the Company, to the properties, books and records and personnel of the Company, and shall make available to Parent and its Representatives (including its Financing Sources), all other information, agreements and documents concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent and its Representatives (including its Financing Sources) may reasonably request in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (a) any Contract in effect as of the date hereof or applicable Law requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information; (b) access to such documents or information would give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other privilege applicable to such documents or information; (c) access to a

-72-

Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound as of the date hereof would violate or cause a default pursuant to, or give a third Person the right to terminate or accelerate the rights pursuant to, such Contract; or (d) access would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third Persons; provided that the Parties shall collaborate in good faith to make alternative arrangements to allow for such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in the events set forth in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) above. Nothing in this Section 6.8 shall be construed to require the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals, opinions or other information. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.8 shall be conducted in a manner that (i) does not unreasonably interfere or otherwise result in any significant interference with the prompt and timely discharge by officers, employees and other authorized Representatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of their normal duties, or (ii) create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Any access to the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries will be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures and will not include the right to perform invasive testing. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement will apply to any information obtained by Parent or any of its Representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.8.

6.9 Section 16(b) Exemption. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable hereto to cause the Merger, and any dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the Merger by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company, to be exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.10 Directors’ and Officers’ Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Indemnified Persons. The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, honor and fulfill the obligations of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any written indemnification agreements that have been made available to Parent between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of their respective current or former directors or officers, on the other hand (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”). In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the Organizational Documents of the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, as of the date of this Agreement. During such six-year period, such provisions may not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any adverse manner except as required by applicable Law.

(b) Indemnification Obligation. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 6.10(a), during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted

-73-

by applicable Law or pursuant to any indemnification agreements with the Company and any of its Subsidiaries in effect on the date of this Agreement, which have been made available to Parent, each Indemnified Person from and against any reasonable costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, penalties, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement or compromise in connection with any Legal Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent that such Legal Proceeding arises out of (i) the fact that an Indemnified Person is or was a director or officer of the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate, or (ii) any action or omission, or alleged action or omission, in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates, including in connection with the Merger or taken at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate as a director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary of another Person (including any employee benefit plan), regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to, at or after the Effective Time, except that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.10(b), then the claim asserted in such notice will survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such Legal Proceeding, the Surviving Corporation shall advance all reasonable fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel, which counsel will be reasonably acceptable to the Surviving Corporation) as incurred by an Indemnified Person in the defense of such Legal Proceeding. Such advancement shall be subject to a written undertaking by such Indemnified Person to promptly repay all such advances in the event that it is finally determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.10(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor any of their respective Affiliates shall settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, or otherwise seek the termination of, any Legal Proceeding for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes a full release of all Indemnified Persons from all liability arising out of such Legal Proceeding. Any determination made with respect to whether the conduct of any Indemnified Person complies or complied with any applicable standard for indemnification will be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Surviving Corporation (which counsel will be reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person), the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation.

(c) D&O Insurance. For six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such person currently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 6.11(c), neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year prior to the date hereof (the “Current Premium”) and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed 300% of the amount paid by the Company for the D&O Insurance for its last full policy period, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that, in

-74-

the Surviving Corporation’s good faith judgment, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 300% of the amount paid by the Company for the D&O Insurance for its last full policy period. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, which policies provide such Persons currently covered by such policies with coverage for an aggregate period of six years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the amount paid for such prepaid policies does not exceed 300% of the Current Premium. If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such policies in full force and effect for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(d) Successors and Assigns.

(c) Employment; Benefits. For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time (the “Continuation Period”), the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the Continuing Employees to be provided with (i) base salary or wages that are no less favorable in the aggregate than such Continuing Employees’ base salary or wages immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) annual target incentive opportunities that are no less favorable in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing, and (iii) other compensation and benefits (excluding equity-based compensation and any pension, post-retirement or deferred compensation benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing, excluding equity based compensation and any pension, post retirement and deferred compensation benefits.

(d) New Plans. To the extent that an Employee Plan is made available to any Continuing Employee at or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to), to the extent allowed under applicable Law cause to be granted to such Continuing Employee credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant (including for purposes of vacation or paid time-off accrual and severance pay entitlement), except that such service shall not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Continuing Employee will be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting period, in any and all employee benefit or compensation plans sponsored by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (other than the Employee Plans) (such plans, the “New Plans”) to the extent that coverage pursuant to any such New Plan replaces coverage pursuant to a comparable Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, the “Old Plans”); (ii) for purposes of each

(ii) If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 under circumstances in which the Company is required to pay the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(b), Parent’s (or its designee’s) receipt of the Company Termination Fee to the extent owed pursuant to Section 8.3(b) and Parent’s right to specific performance pursuant to Section 9.8 will be the sole and exclusive remedies of Parent and Merger Sub and each of their respective Affiliates against (A) the Company, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates; and (B) the former, current and future holders of any equity, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders and assignees of each of the Company, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) in respect of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith (other than the Voting Agreement, which will survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including with respect to any matters relating to CERCLA or any other Environmental Law), and upon payment of such amount, none of the Company Related Parties will have any further liability or obligation to Parent or Merger Sub relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith (other than the Voting Agreement to the extent set forth therein) or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement, including this Section 8.3(f)(ii), shall relieve the Company from liability for any Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement.

-86-

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.3(f), it is agreed that Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief as and to the extent and only as and to the extent provided in Section 9.8(b) (but not, following the valid termination of this Agreement, with respect to the Sections of this Agreement that do not survive such termination).

8.4 Amendment. Subject to applicable Law and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (pursuant to authorized action by the Company Board (or a committee thereof)), except that in the event that the Company has received the Requisite Stockholder Approval, no amendment may be made to this Agreement that requires the approval of the Company Stockholders pursuant to the DGCL without such approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions relating to the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties set forth in Section 8.3(f), Section 8.6, the last sentence of Section 9.6, the proviso to Section 9.9, Section 9.10(b), Section 9.11 and this sentence of Section 8.4 (and the defined terms used therein or any provision of this Agreement related thereto) may not be amended, modified or altered without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources.

8.5 Extension; Waiver.

Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such Party. Any delay in exercising any right pursuant to this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right.

8.6 No Liabilities of Financing Sources. None of the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties will have any liability to the Company or any of its Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing or otherwise, whether at Law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise; provided, that nothing in this Section 8.6 shall limit the rights of the Company and its Affiliates from and after the Effective Time under any Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive debt documents executed in connection with the Debt Financing (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, under this Agreement) to the extent the Company and/or its Affiliates are party thereto.

Any notice received by fax or otherwise at the addressee’s location on any Business Day after 5:00 p.m., addressee’s local time, or on any day that is not a Business Day will be deemed to have been received at 9:00 a.m., addressee’s local time, on the next Business Day. From time to time, any Party may provide notice to the other Parties of a change in its address, fax number or e-mail address through a notice given in accordance with this Section 9.2, except that notice of any change to the address or any of the other details specified in or pursuant to this Section 9.2 will not be deemed to have been received until, and will be deemed to have been received upon, the later of the date (A) specified in such notice; or (B) that is two (2) Business Days after such notice would otherwise be deemed to have been received pursuant to this Section 9.2.

9.3 Assignment. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written approval of the other Parties, except that Parent will have the right to assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement from and after the Effective Time (a) in connection with a merger or consolidation involving Parent or other disposition of all or

-89-

substantially all of the assets of Parent or the Surviving Corporation; or (b) to any Debt Financing Source pursuant to the terms of the Debt Financing for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assigning as collateral in respect of the Debt Financing, it being understood that, in each case, such assignment will not (i) affect the obligations of the parties (including Debt Financing Sources) to the Financing Letters or Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee; or (ii) impede or delay the consummation of the Merger or otherwise materially impede the rights of the holders of Company Equity Awards pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No assignment by any Party will relieve such Party of any of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment of this Agreement without the consent required by this Section 9.3 is null and void.

9.4 Confidentiality Agreement. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby acknowledge that Centerbridge Advisors III, LLC and the Company have previously executed a confidentiality letter agreement, dated October 2, 2018 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), that shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives shall hold and treat all documents and information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries furnished or made available to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives in connection with the Merger in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. By executing this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub agree to be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement as if they were parties thereto.

9.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter, the Voting Agreement, the Guarantee and the Financing Letters, 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement will (a) not be superseded; (b) survive any termination of this Agreement; and (c) continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of the Effective Time and the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement expires in accordance with its terms or is validly terminated by the parties thereto.

9.6 Third Party Beneficiaries. The Parties agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the other Parties in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and this Agreement is not intended to, and will not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the provisions of the last sentence of Section 8.3(f), Section 8.4, Section 8.6, the proviso to Section 9.9, Section 9.10(b), Section 9.11 and this sentence of Section 9.6 shall inure to the benefit of the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties, each of whom are intended to be third party beneficiaries thereof (it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections will be enforceable by the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties), (b) the provisions of Article II and this sentence of Section 9.6 shall inure to the Company Stockholders and the holders of Company Equity Awards entitled to consideration thereunder (and only with regard to the consideration payable thereto under Article II from and after the Effective Time), each of whom is intended to be a third party beneficiary thereof (it being understood and agreed that, from and after the Effective Time, the provisions of such

-90-

Article and Section will be enforceable by the Common Stockholders and holders of Company Equity Awards and their respective successors and assigns), (c) the provisions of Section 6.10 and this sentence of Section 9.6 shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Persons, each of whom is intended to be a third party beneficiary thereof (it being understood and agreed that, from and after the Effective Time, the provisions of such Sections will be enforceable by the Indemnified Persons and their respective successors and assigns), (d) the provisions of Section 8.3(f) applicable to the Parent Related Parties and this sentence of Section 9.6 shall inure to the benefit of the Parent Related Parties, each of whom is intended to be a third party beneficiary thereof (it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections will be enforceable by the Parent Related Parties and their respective successors and assigns) and (e) the provisions of Section 8.3(f) applicable to the Company Related Parties and this sentence of Section 9.6 shall inure to the benefit of the Company Related Parties, each of whom is intended to be a third party beneficiary thereof (it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections will be enforceable by the Company Related Parties and their respective successors and assigns).

9.7 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, or incapable of being enforced under any applicable Law, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

9.8 Remedies.

(a) Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party by this Agreement will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred upon a Party by this Agreement, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. Although the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance and payment of the Parent Termination Fee, under no circumstances will the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in the occurrence of the Closing and payment of the Parent Termination Fee.

(b) Specific Performance.

(i) The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including any Party failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate the Closing) subject in all cases to Section 9.8(b)(ii) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the Parties will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (in each case, other than Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to effect the Closing, which shall be governed exclusively by Section

-91-

9.8(b)(ii)); (B) the provisions of Section 8.3 are not intended to and do not adequately compensate the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement, and will not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party’s right to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief; and (C) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Merger and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 9.8(b)(i), it is acknowledged and agreed that the right of the Company to a remedy of specific performance to enforce Parent’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to consummate the Merger is subject to the requirements that (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, provided that each such condition is then capable of being satisfied at a Closing on such date, assuming for purposes hereof that the date of the order of specific performance is the Closing Date); (B) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing; (C) Parent and Merger Sub fail to complete the Closing in accordance with Section 2.3; and (D) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in a written notice to Parent that if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then it would take such actions that are required of it by this Agreement to cause the Closing to occur. In no event will the Company be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Parent’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to complete the Merger if the Debt Financing has not been funded (or will not be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing).

(iii) The Parties agree not to raise any objections to the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, including on the basis that such injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy or that an adequate remedy exists at law, subject in all cases to Section 9.8(a) and Section 9.8(b)(ii). Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such injunction or enforcement, and each Party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security.

9.9 Governing Law. This Agreement and all actions, proceedings or counterclaims (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, including its statute of limitations, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Laws (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; provided that (except to the extent relating to the interpretation of any provisions in this Agreement (including any provision in any documentation related to the Debt Financing (including the Debt Commitment Letter) that expressly specifies that the interpretation of such provisions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware)) any Legal Proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving any

-92-

Debt Financing Sources Related Party, arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction).

9.10 Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) General Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process (whether inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts) in any Legal Proceeding relating to the Merger or the Guarantee, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with Section 9.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, and nothing in this Section 9.10 will affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (b) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any Legal Proceeding to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Courts”) in the event that any dispute or controversy arises out of this Agreement, the Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby; (c) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (d) agrees that any Legal Proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Chosen Courts; (e) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts or that such Legal Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (f) agrees that it shall not bring any Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the Chosen Courts. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

(b) Jurisdiction for Debt Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties and each Debt Financing Sources Related Party acknowledge and irrevocably agree (i) that any Legal Proceeding, whether in Law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, involving any Debt Financing Sources Related Party arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, the Merger, the Debt Financing or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of New York in the Borough of Manhattan and any appellate court thereof, and the Parties and each Debt Financing Sources Related Party submits for itself and its property with respect to any such Legal Proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court; (ii) not to bring or permit any of their Affiliates to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such Legal Proceeding in any other court; (iii) that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to them at their respective addresses provided in any applicable Debt Commitment Letter will be effective service of process against them for any such Legal Proceeding brought in any such court; and (iv) to waive and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such Legal Proceeding in any such court.

-93-

9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORTIOUS CONDUCT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER, THE FINANCING LETTERS OR THE FINANCING (INCLUDING ANY SUCH LEGAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING FINANCING SOURCES). EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER; (iii) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

9.12 No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may only be made against the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto and no Affiliate of the Company (other than to the extent set forth in the Voting Agreement) and no Parent Related Parties (other than the Guarantor to the extent set forth in the Guarantee or Equity Commitment Letter) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith.

9.13 Company Disclosure Letter References.

9.14 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by fax or .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.
