The Mergers.

(a) The Saturn Merger. (i) Upon the terms and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the NJBCA, at the Initial Effective Time, Merger Sub 1 shall be merged with and into Saturn.

(ii) As soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties shall cause the Saturn Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger relating to the Saturn Merger (the “Certificate of Saturn Merger”) with the Department of the Treasury of the State of New Jersey, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, the NJBCA. The Saturn Merger shall become effective at such time at which the Certificate of Saturn Merger is filed with the Department of Treasury of the State of New Jersey or at such subsequent time as Mercury and Saturn shall agree and as shall be specified in the Certificate of Saturn Merger (the date and time the Saturn Merger becomes effective being the “Initial Effective Time”).

(iii) At the Initial Effective Time, the effect of the Saturn Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the NJBCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Initial Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Saturn and Merger Sub 1 shall vest in the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Saturn and Merger Sub 1 shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation.

The Mercury Merger shall become effective at such time at which the Certificate of Mercury Merger is filed with the Department of the Treasury of the State of New Jersey or at such subsequent time as Mercury and Saturn shall agree and as shall be specified in the Certificate of Mercury Merger, but in any event immediately after the Initial Effective Time (the date and time the Mercury Merger is effective being the “Subsequent Effective Time”).

(iii) At the Subsequent Effective Time, the effect of the Mercury Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the NJBCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Subsequent Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Mercury and Merger Sub 2 shall vest in the Mercury Merger Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Mercury and Merger Sub 2 shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Mercury Merger Surviving Corporation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Closing may be consummated at such other time or date as Mercury and Saturn may agree to in writing.

If, between the date of this Agreement and the Initial Effective Time or Subsequent Effective Time, as applicable, the outstanding shares of Saturn Common Stock or Mercury Common Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, split, combination, contribution or exchange of shares, the Saturn Merger Consideration and the Mercury Merger Consideration and any

2.2

Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Initial Effective Time, (i) Saturn shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a commercial bank or trust company designated by Mercury and reasonably satisfactory to Saturn (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Saturn Common Stock (x) book-entry shares (which, to the extent subsequently requested, shall be exchanged for certificates) representing the total number of shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock issuable as Stock Consideration pursuant to the Saturn Merger and (y) the Repayment Amount to the extent provided by the Mercury Overseas Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 6.14, in cash, in United States dollars, and (ii) Mercury shall, with the cooperation of Saturn to the extent that Saturn is the borrower under the Financing, cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Saturn Common Stock, proceeds of the Financing, in cash, in United States dollars, which, together with the Repayment Amount, shall be an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate cash amount payable as Cash Consideration (and cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e) in the Saturn Merger) (such shares and cash shall constitute the “Exchange Fund”). Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by shareholders of Saturn entitled thereto one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Initial Effective Time shall be returned to the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation and such shareholders shall thereafter look only to the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation for payment of the Saturn Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon. Any such portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by such shareholders five (5) years after the Initial Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(b) Exchange Procedures. The Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall instruct the Exchange Agent to promptly (and in any event no more than five (5) Business Days) after the Initial Effective Time, mail to each holder of record of a Saturn Certificate (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Saturn Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Saturn Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Saturn Certificates in exchange for the Saturn Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Saturn Common Stock formerly represented by such Saturn Certificates. Upon surrender of a Saturn Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the Exchange Agent shall issue and deliver to the holder of such Saturn Certificate the number of whole shares of Saturn Merger Surviving

Corporation Common Stock (in the form of book-entry shares, unless the holder of such Saturn Certificate expressly requests that such shares be delivered in certificated form of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock) and a check or wire transfer for the amount of cash that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Sections 2.1(a)(i), 2.2(e) and 2.2(i) of this Agreement in respect of the shares of Saturn Common Stock formerly represented by such Saturn Certificate, and the Saturn Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Saturn Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of Saturn, the Saturn Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Saturn Common Stock may be paid to a transferee if the Saturn Certificate formerly representing such shares of Saturn Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Saturn Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Initial Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Saturn Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Saturn Common Stock formerly represented by such Saturn Certificate and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(c), in each case, without any interest thereon. Promptly (and in any event no more than five (5) Business Days) after the Initial Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall issue and deliver to each holder of Saturn Book-Entry Shares the number of whole shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock (in the form of book-entry shares, unless the holder of such Saturn Book-Entry Shares expressly requests that such shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock be delivered in certificated form) and a check or wire transfer for the amount of cash that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i), 2.2(e) and 2.2(i) of this Agreement in respect of such Mercury Book-Entry Shares, without such holder being required to deliver a Saturn Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares of Saturn Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock, with a record date after the Initial Effective Time, shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Saturn Certificate, unless and until the holder of such Saturn Certificate shall surrender such Saturn Certificate. Subject to the effect of abandoned property, escheat or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Saturn Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of whole shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock issuable in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Initial Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Initial Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender, payable with respect to such whole shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock.

(d) Further Rights in Saturn Common Stock and Mercury Common Stock. The Saturn Merger Consideration issued and paid upon conversion of a share of Saturn Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such share of Saturn Common Stock (other than

the right to receive dividends or other distributions, if any, in accordance with Section 2.2(c)). The Mercury Merger Consideration issued upon conversion of a share of Mercury Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such share of Mercury Common Stock.

(e) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock or book-entry credit of the same will be issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Saturn Common Stock, but in lieu thereof each holder of Saturn Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock upon surrender for exchange of Saturn Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock to be received by such holder) shall receive an amount of cash (rounded up to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Mercury Stock Measurement Price. Such payment shall occur as soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to each former holder of Saturn Common Stock with respect to any fractional shares and, in the case of a holder of Saturn Certificates, following compliance by such holder with the exchange procedures set forth in Section 2.2(b) and in the letter of transmittal. No dividend or distribution with respect to Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to any rights of a shareholder of the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation.

(f) Investment of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation on a daily basis in (i) short term direct obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days, (ii) short term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for payment of all principal and interest or (iii) commercial paper obligations receiving the highest rating from either Xxxxx’x Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s; provided, that no gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to former holders of Saturn Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. If for any reason (including losses) the cash in the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made in cash by the Exchange Agent hereunder, the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall promptly deposit cash into the Exchange Fund in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount of cash required to fully satisfy such cash payment obligations. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall promptly be paid to the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation.

(g) No Liability. The Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to any former holder of shares of Saturn Common Stock, for the Saturn Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other applicable Law.

(h) Lost Certificates. If any Saturn Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Saturn Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made

against it with respect to such Saturn Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Saturn Certificate the Saturn Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Saturn Common Stock formerly represented by such Saturn Certificate and any dividend or other distribution to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(c), in each case without any interest thereon.

(i) Withholding. Each of Saturn, the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of local, state, federal, or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by Saturn, the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Saturn, the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

2.3

Stock Transfer Books.

Saturn Options and Other Equity Awards.

(a) Saturn Options. As of the Initial Effective Time, each then-outstanding Saturn Option, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into an option entitling its holders to acquire, upon exercise, a number of shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock equal to the product of the (x) Saturn Award Exchange Ratio and (y) the number of shares of Saturn Common Stock subject to such converted Saturn Option immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time (rounded down to the nearest whole share), at an exercise price per share of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per share of Saturn Common Stock to which such Saturn Option was subject immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time by (y) the Saturn Award Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Except as specifically provided in the preceding sentence, each converted Saturn Option will continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Saturn Option immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time. “Saturn Award Exchange Ratio” means the sum of (A) the number of shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock equal to the Stock Consideration, expressed as a decimal plus (B) the fraction resulting from dividing the Cash Consideration by the closing price per share of the Mercury Common Stock on the last trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

(b) Saturn Deferred Stock Units/Saturn Restricted Stock Units. As of the Initial Effective Time, each then-outstanding Saturn Deferred Stock Unit and Saturn Restricted Stock Unit will be adjusted so that its holder will be entitled to receive, upon settlement thereof, a number of shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock equal to the product of the (x) Saturn Award Exchange Ratio and (y) the number of shares of Saturn Common Stock subject to such Saturn Deferred Stock Unit or Saturn Restricted Stock Unit, as applicable, immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time. Except as specifically provided in the preceding sentence, each Saturn Deferred Stock Unit or Saturn Restricted Stock Unit, as applicable, will continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Saturn Deferred Stock Unit or Saturn Restricted Stock Unit, as applicable, immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time.

(c) Saturn Performance Awards. As of the Initial Effective Time, each then-outstanding Saturn performance-based award or Saturn performance-based share unit award granted under any of the Saturn Equity Plans (each, a “Saturn Performance Award”) will vest in accordance with the final sentence of this paragraph and be adjusted (each, an “Adjusted Saturn Performance Award”) into the number of shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares subject to such Saturn Performance Award that vest pursuant to this paragraph by (ii) the Saturn Award Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided in the preceding sentence, each Adjusted Saturn Performance Award will continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Saturn Performance Award immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time.

(d) Miscellaneous; Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock will be issued upon exercise or settlement of any Saturn Options, Saturn Deferred Stock Units, Saturn Restricted Stock Units and Saturn Performance Awards, as applicable, after the Initial Effective Time, but in lieu thereof each holder of Saturn Options, Saturn Deferred Stock Units, Saturn Restricted Stock Units and Saturn Performance Awards who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock in connection with any such exercise or settlement (after aggregating all fractional shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock to be received by such holder in connection with such exercise or settlement) shall receive an amount of cash (rounded up to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price for the shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock on the NYSE on the trading day immediately prior to such exercise or settlement.

(e) Further Actions. Prior to the Initial Effective Time, Saturn and its Subsidiaries shall pass such resolutions as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.4.

Each Mercury Equity Award so assumed by the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Mercury Equity Award immediately before the Subsequent Effective Time under the Mercury Stock Incentive Plans and the agreements thereunder pursuant to which such Mercury Equity Award was granted, except that each Mercury Equity Award will be exercisable, or settled upon vesting, as applicable, for shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock in lieu of shares of Mercury Common Stock.

(b) Further Actions. Prior to the Subsequent Effective Time, Mercury and its Subsidiaries shall pass such resolutions as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.5. As soon as practicable after the Subsequent Effective Time, Mercury will deliver to the holders of the Mercury Equity Awards appropriate notices, setting out the terms applicable to such Mercury Equity Awards.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.5(b), materials provided to the other party or its outside counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of Saturn and its Subsidiaries.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall require Mercury or any of its Subsidiaries to agree to or take any action that would result in, or be reasonably likely to result in, any Burdensome Condition. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Burdensome Condition” shall mean making proposals, offering remedies, commitments or undertakings, executing or carrying out agreements (including consent decrees) or submitting to Laws or Orders (i) providing for the license, sale, divestiture or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of trust or otherwise) of any capital stock or other Equity Interests of a Subsidiary of Saturn or Mercury, business, assets, categories of assets, or products of Mercury, Saturn or their respective Subsidiaries or the holding separate of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of a Subsidiary of Saturn or Mercury or (ii) otherwise imposing or seeking to impose any limitation on Mercury, Saturn or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ freedom of action with respect to, or their ability to retain, any of the businesses, assets, categories of assets, or products of Mercury, Saturn, the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries (any matter referenced in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii) being a “Regulatory Divestiture”) that, in the case of clause (i) and/or (ii), individually or in the aggregate would result in, or be reasonably likely to result in, in the one year loss of net sales revenues (as measured by 2008 net sales revenues) in excess of $1,000,000,000, but excluding any loss of net sales revenues related to the license, sale, divestiture or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of trust or otherwise) of any capital stock or other Equity Interests or any business, assets, categories of assets, or products listed in Section 6.5(c) of the Mercury Disclosure Letter. For purposes of calculating the loss of net sales revenue in the preceding sentence, (x) the least amount of lost revenues (as measured by 2008 net sales revenue) as may be required to obtain all necessary waivers, consents, approvals, permits, Orders or authorizations from any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or to avoid entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any Order, shall be used in the event that Mercury elects to offer any license, sale, divestiture or other disposition, holding separate, or limitation on freedom of action that would result in a higher loss of net sales revenue (as measured by net 2008 sales revenue) than reasonably required to achieve such result and (y) lost net sales revenue attributable to the license, sale, divestiture or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of trust or otherwise) of any capital stock or other Equity Interests( or any business, assets, categories of assets, or products, as applicable) of an entity the financial results of which were reported on the consolidated financial statements of Mercury or

Saturn included in the Mercury Form 10-K or the Saturn Form 10-K, as the case may be, using the equity method of accounting shall be calculated by (1) multiplying the net 2008 sales revenue of such entity (or of such business, assets, categories of assets or products of such entity, as applicable), by (2) the percentage of the total outstanding capital stock or other Equity Interests of such entity to be licensed, sold, divested or otherwise disposed or held separate by Mercury or Saturn or any of their respective Subsidiary, as the case may be (or in the case of the license, sale, divestiture or other disposition or holding separate of any business, assets, categories of assets or products, as applicable, of such entity, the percentage of the total outstanding capital stock or other Equity Interests of such entity to be held by Mercury or Saturn or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be). Saturn agrees that it (A) shall not publicly, or before any Governmental Entity or third party, offer, suggest, propose or negotiate, and shall not commit to, or enter into, consent to or acquiesce to any Regulatory Divestiture without the prior written consent of Mercury, which may be withheld in the sole discretion of Mercury and (B) shall commit to, enter into, consent to or acquiesce to any Regulatory Divestitures as directed by Mercury. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, neither Mercury nor Saturn shall be required by this Section 6.5 to commit to, enter into, consent to, or acquiesce to any Regulatory Divestiture that is not conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers.

6.6 Certain Notices. From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of (a) the Closing Date and (b) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, each of Saturn and Mercury shall promptly notify the other party of (i) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that would be likely to cause any condition to the obligations of the other party to effect the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied, or (ii) the failure of Saturn or Mercury, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of the other party to effect the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall not cure the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, the failure to comply with any covenant, the failure to meet any condition or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

6.7 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a release mutually agreed upon by Mercury and Saturn. Thereafter, Mercury and Saturn shall consult with and obtain the approval of the other party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before issuing any other press release or other public announcement with respect to the Mergers or this Agreement and shall not issue any such other press release prior to such consultation and approval, except as may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement related to the trading of the shares of either party on any securities exchange, in which case the party proposing to issue such press release or make such public announcement shall use reasonable best efforts to consult in good faith with the other party before issuing any such press release or making any such public announcement; provided, however, that each of Mercury and Saturn may make any public statement in response to specific questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as any such statements are not

inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by Mercury and Saturn and do not reveal material, nonpublic information regarding the other party.

6.8

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) From and after the Subsequent Effective Time, the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing), in the same manner as provided by Saturn immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, each present and former director, officer and employee of Saturn and its Subsidiaries (in all of their capacities) and all fiduciaries under any Saturn Plan, including any person who becomes a director, officer or employee or fiduciary under any Saturn Plan prior to the Subsequent Effective Time (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and disbursements), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that such Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer, employee or fiduciary of Saturn or any of its Subsidiaries or a fiduciary under any Saturn Plan or is or was serving at the request of Saturn or any of its Subsidiaries as a director, officer or employee of any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other business or non-profit enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Subsequent Effective Time (including with respect to acts or omissions by directors or officers of Saturn or its Subsidiaries in their capacities as such arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), and shall provide advancement of expenses to the Indemnified Parties, in all such cases to the same extent that such persons are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses as of the date of this Agreement by Saturn pursuant to Saturn’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements, if any, or by any one of Saturn’s Subsidiaries pursuant to such Subsidiary’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements of any Subsidiary of Saturn, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement.

(b) For six (6) years after the Subsequent Effective Time, the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties an insurance and indemnification policy with an insurer with the same or better credit rating as the current carrier for Saturn that provides coverage for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Subsequent Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) covering each such person covered by the officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy of Saturn on terms with respect to coverage and in amounts no less favorable than those of Saturn’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of 250% of the annual premium currently paid by Saturn for such coverage; and provided, further, that if any annual premium for such insurance coverage exceeds 250% of such annual premium, the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall obtain as much coverage as reasonably practicable for a cost not exceeding such amount. Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 6.8(b) may be satisfied by Mercury, or, with the approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, of Mercury, Saturn, purchasing a “tail” policy from an insurer with substantially the same or better credit rating as the current carrier for Saturn’s

existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy, which (i) has an effective term of six (6) years from the Subsequent Effective Time, (ii) covers each person covered by Saturn’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect on the date of this Agreement or at the Subsequent Effective Time for actions and omissions occurring prior to the Subsequent Effective Time, and (iii) contains terms that are no less favorable than those of Saturn’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect on the date of this Agreement. If such “tail” policy has been obtained by Saturn prior to the Initial Effective Time, the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation.

(c) The Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect for six (6) years after the Subsequent Effective Time in the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation’s (or any successor’s) certificate of incorporation and bylaws provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable to the intended beneficiaries as those contained in the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws as in effect as of the Initial Effective Time or in any indemnification agreements of Saturn or its Subsidiaries with any of their respective directors, officers or employees as in effect immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Proceeding pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Proceeding or resolution of such claim.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.8 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by Contract or otherwise. The Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity obligations provided in this Section 6.8 unless it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to such indemnity.

(e) If the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation, or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation honor the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 6.8.

6.9

Employee Benefits.

(a) For a period from and after the Initial Effective Time through December 31, 2010, (the “Benefits Continuation Period”), the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each employee who is an employee of Saturn or any of its Subsidiaries at the Initial Effective Time (“Saturn Employees”) (i) annual base salary no less than the annual base salary as in effect for such Saturn Employee as of the Initial Effective Time; and (ii) other compensation and employee benefits that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the other compensation and employee benefits that are provided to Saturn Employees immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time; provided, however, that (x) for purposes of

determining “other compensation and employee benefits” required to be provided pursuant to clause (ii) above, change in control or transaction-based retention, transition, stay or similar bonus arrangements shall be excluded, (y) so long as the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation complies with the provisions of Section 6.9(g) as may be applicable to a given Saturn Employee, Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall be deemed to have satisfied the portion of the covenant contained in clause (ii) above with respect to any obligation to provide severance payments and benefits to such Saturn Employee as may otherwise be required to be provided hereunder, and (z) so long as the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation complies with the provisions of Section 6.9(d) and (e), as may be applicable to a given Saturn Employee, Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall be deemed to have satisfied the portion of the covenant contained in clause (ii) above with respect to any obligation to provide short-term incentive compensation and equity compensation, as applicable, to such Saturn Employee as may otherwise be required to be provided hereunder for the period during which Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation has complied with such provisions. The preceding sentence shall not preclude the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries at any time following the Initial Effective Time from terminating the employment of any Saturn Employee for any reason (or for no reason). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, with respect to Saturn Employees who are subject to collective bargaining agreements, compensation and benefits shall be provided in accordance with the applicable collective bargaining agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, with respect to any Saturn Employees who became Saturn Employees as a result of an acquisition by Saturn (“Acquired Saturn Employees”) and whose compensation and benefits have not been fully integrated into Saturn Plans as of the Initial Effective Time, such Acquired Saturn Employees’ compensation and benefits shall continue to be integrated into the applicable Saturn Plan following the Initial Effective Time; provided however that at such time as the integration is complete, such Acquired Saturn Employee’s compensation and benefits shall be continued as described in the first sentence of this Section 6.9(a). From and after the Initial Effective Time, the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall honor all Saturn Plans, Saturn Employment Agreements and Saturn Foreign Plans and compensation arrangements and agreements in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately before the Initial Effective Time, including without limitation the Shining Performance Program.

(b) Each Saturn Employee employed in the United States (a “US Employee”) whose employment is terminated during the Benefits Continuation Period under circumstances entitling the US Employee to severance benefits under the applicable plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement providing severance benefits to such US Employee will receive additional age and service credit under the qualified and non-qualified pension and retirement plans and post-retirement health and welfare plans as if such US Employee had remained employed through the Benefits Continuation Period for purposes of determining whether the US Employee has achieved the following age or number of years of service, as applicable, for the following purposes (but not for purposes of benefit accrual): (u) Age 50: eligibility for post-retirement health coverage; (v) Age 55: portability and continued company paid premiums for retiree life insurance (the “Life Insurance Benefit”), subject to achievement of 5 years of service; (w) Age 60: the 35 percent minimum benefit under the supplemental executive retirement plan (the “SERP Minimum Benefit”), subject to achievement of 10 years of service, and elimination of the reduction for early retirement under the qualified pension plan (the “Qualified Plan Benefit”), subject to achievement of 40 years of service; (x) 5 years of Service: the Life

Insurance Benefit, subject to attainment of age 55, and vesting in the qualified pension plan; (y) 10 years of service: the SERP Minimum Benefit, subject to attainment of age 60; and (z) 40 years of Service: the Qualified Plan Benefit, subject to attainment of age 60. Saturn may amend the qualified and non-qualified pension and retirement plans and post-retirement health and welfare plans in which US Employees participate to reflect and effectuate the foregoing. Such additional age and service credit shall not be provided for purposes of determining pension benefits for any US Employee who actually receives additional age and service credit with respect to such pension benefits under a Saturn Employment Agreement upon a qualifying termination of employment under such agreement, other than the two executives identified on Section 6.9(b) of the Saturn Disclosure Letter.

(c) Each Saturn Employee who is a “Chief Financial Officer” or “General Manager” of an entity based outside of the United States whose employment is terminated during the two-year period commencing on the Initial Effective Time under circumstances entitling such Saturn Employee to severance benefits under such applicable plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement providing severance benefits to such Saturn Employee as of the date hereof shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement, be entitled to a minimum cash severance benefit of two times the sum of such Saturn Employee’s target annual bonus and base salary. Saturn may enter into amendments of such plans, programs, policies, agreements or arrangements to effectuate the foregoing. For the avoidance of any doubt, all cash severance benefits payable under such applicable plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement, including but not limited to any statutory termination benefits provided pursuant to Law in the applicable local jurisdiction, shall be counted as part of the determination of whether the minimum cash severance benefit of two times the sum of such Saturn Employee’s target annual bonus and base salary has been satisfied.

(d) Saturn may set and pay short-term incentive bonuses in the ordinary course of business consistent in all material respects with past practice, provided that, with respect to performance year 2009, (i) if the Initial Effective Time occurs after the end of any short-term performance period and prior to the time that short-term incentive bonuses for such period would be paid in the ordinary course of business consistent in all material respects with past practice, Saturn shall pay, immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time, to each person who is a participant in a short-term incentive program immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time (a “Bonus Plan Participant”) a bonus with respect to such performance period based on actual performance for the performance period, provided to the extent that actual results are not yet available for such period or any portion thereof, such bonus shall be based on actual performance for the period for which such results are available and a good faith estimate of actual performance for the remainder of such period and (ii) if the Initial Effective Time occurs during the 2009 calendar year, Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation will pay a full year bonus to each Bonus Plan Participant who is an employee of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation as of December 31, 2009 based on performance measured through the latest date prior to the Initial Effective Time through which performance against metrics established by Saturn prior to the date hereof can be measured as of the Initial Effective Time, such bonus to be paid no later than March 15, 2010; provided, however that each Bonus Plan Participants whose employment terminates during 2009 and who satisfies the eligibility requirements to receive separation pay under the separation benefits plan applicable to him or her (including, where applicable, signing

a valid release of claims) shall receive a pro rata portion of his/her 2009 target bonus based on the number of full days such Bonus Plan Participant was employed by Saturn or Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries in 2009. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall adversely affect the right of any participant in a short-term incentive bonus program to receive short term incentive bonus payments upon a termination of employment under the terms of the applicable short-term incentive bonus program.

(e) In the event that the Initial Effective Time occurs on or after January 1, 2010, each Bonus Plan Participant shall be paid, at the same time as bonuses are paid for performance year 2010 to Saturn Employees under the plan of the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation, a pro rata portion of his/her 2010 target bonus based on the number of days such Bonus Plan Participant was employed by Saturn or its Subsidiaries in 2010 through the Initial Effective Time. Beginning January 1, 2010 or if the Initial Effective Time occurs on or after January 1, 2010, beginning immediately following the Initial Effective Time, Saturn Employees shall be eligible to participate in any short-term incentive award plans of the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to the same extent and on the same terms and conditions as similarly situated employees of the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries who were not Saturn Employees, provided that, in addition to the amounts described in the first sentence of this Section 6.9(e), the amount of the 2010 bonus payable to such Saturn Employees in respect of the portion of 2010 occurring after the Initial Effective Time under the short term incentive award plans of the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries shall be pro-rated for the portion of 2010 occurring after the Initial Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to performance year 2010, Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation will pay a pro rata portion of the target bonus for performance year 2010 to participants who were Saturn Employees as of the Initial Effective Time whose employment terminates during 2010 who satisfy the eligibility requirements to receive separation pay under the separation benefits plan applicable to them (including, where applicable, signing a valid release of claims) which pro rata portion shall be based on the number of days the Saturn Employee was employed by Saturn or Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries in 2010. Beginning January 1, 2010, Saturn Employees shall be eligible to participate in any equity compensation plans of the Saturn merger Surviving Corporation to the same extent and on the same terms and conditions as similarly situated employees of the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (or of Mercury and its Subsidiaries to the extent that awards are granted in 2010 prior to the Initial Effective Time) who were not Saturn Employees, provided, that in the event that the Initial Effective Time occurs after the date on which equity compensation grants are made to employees of Mercury generally, Saturn Employees shall nonetheless receive a grant of equity compensation awards in 2010 from Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation as soon as practicable following the Initial Effective Time to the same extent and on the same terms and conditions as similarly situated employees of the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries who were not Saturn Employees.

(f) Following the Initial Effective Time, the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall treat former employees of Saturn and its Subsidiaries who, as of the Initial Effective Time, are eligible to receive post-retirement health benefits under the applicable Saturn Plans, no less favorably than similarly situated former employees of the Saturn Merger Surviving

Corporation and its Subsidiaries who are not Saturn Employees with respect to post-retirement health benefits.

(g) For the period required under the terms of Saturn’s Severance Benefit Plan (the “Saturn Severance Plan”), but in no event for shorter than the Benefits Continuation Period, the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall (i) maintain the Saturn Severance Plan for the purpose of providing any severance payments to Saturn Employees and (ii) provide the severance payments and benefits required thereunder in accordance with the terms of the Saturn Severance Plan to any Saturn Employee who is a participant in the Saturn Severance Plan immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time whose employment is terminated during the Benefits Continuation Period.

(h) Prior to the Initial Effective Time, Saturn may establish a retention bonus pool not to exceed 90 million dollars to provide cash retention arrangements equal to no more than one times the sum of the applicable Saturn Employee’s base pay and target bonus to certain Saturn Employees other than (i) Saturn Employees with a Saturn Employment Agreements providing severance pay of at least two times the sum of base pay and target bonus, (ii) Saturn Employees employed outside the U.S. who are eligible to receive guaranteed minimum severance in accordance with Section 6.9(c), and (iii) Saturn Employees who are otherwise eligible for separation pay equal to at least two times the sum of base pay and target bonus under the Saturn Severance Plan; provided, however, that Saturn may provide to the Saturn Employees described in clauses (i) and (iii) above, a cash retention arrangement of up to their annual target bonus not to exceed 100% of base pay. The terms of the retention arrangements provided to Saturn Employees under this paragraph shall provide that no retention bonuses will be paid to such Saturn Employees whose employment terminates for any reason prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Initial Effective Time other than due to termination by the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation other than for cause.

(i) Mercury and the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation hereby agree to the matter set forth on Section 6.9(i) of the Saturn Disclosure Schedule.

(j) For all purposes (including for purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate, and benefit accrual) under the Mercury Plans providing benefits to any Saturn Employees after the Initial Effective Time or any plan adopted by the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries after the Initial Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Saturn Employee shall, subject to applicable Law and applicable tax qualification requirements, be credited with his or her years of service with Saturn and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Initial Effective Time, to the same extent as such Saturn Employee was entitled, before the Initial Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar employee benefit plan of Saturn or any of its Subsidiaries in which such Saturn Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits; and provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to retiree health benefit plans applicable to US-based employees, service credit before age 40 will not be recognized for any Saturn Employee who was either hired or rehired by Saturn or its Subsidiaries on or after January 1, 2003 or had not attained age 50 before January 1, 2003. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the extent permissible by any insurance

carrier or vendor applicable to the New Plan, (i) to the extent a Saturn Employee becomes eligible to participate in a New Plan, such Saturn Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is comparable to the Saturn Plan or Saturn Foreign Plan in which such Saturn Employee participated immediately before the consummation of the Mergers (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (ii) (x) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Saturn Employee, the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Saturn Employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under Old Plan of Saturn or its Subsidiaries in which such Saturn Employee participated immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time, and (y) the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Saturn Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(k) Prior to the Closing, the Saturn Board, or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors thereof, shall adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretive guidance of the SEC so that the disposition by any officer or director of Saturn or acquisition by any person who becomes an officer or director of the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation as of the Initial Effective Time, in each case, who is a covered person of Saturn or will be a covered person of the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (“Section 16”) of shares of Saturn Common Stock, Saturn Options or other equity awards of Saturn or shares of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation Common Stock, Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation options or other equity awards of Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation, as applicable, pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement and the Mergers shall be an exempt transaction for purposes of Section 16. Prior to the Closing, the Mercury Board, or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors thereof, shall adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretive guidance of the SEC so that the disposition by any officer or director of Mercury who is a covered person of Mercury for purposes of Section 16 of shares of Mercury Common Stock, Mercury options or other Mercury equity awards pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement and the Mergers shall be an exempt transaction for purposes of Section 16.

(l) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.9 to the contrary, nothing contained herein, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Saturn Plan or Mercury Plan, or shall limit the right of the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation or Mercury to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Saturn Plan or Mercury Plan following the Effective Time. If (i) a Person other than the parties hereto makes a claim or takes other action to enforce any provision in this Agreement as an amendment to any Saturn Plan or Mercury Plan, and (ii) such provision is deemed to be an amendment to such Saturn Plan or Mercury Plan even though not explicitly designated as such in this Agreement,

then, solely with respect to such Saturn Plan or Mercury Plan, such provision shall lapse retroactively and shall have no amendatory effect with respect thereto.

(m) The parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.9 are included for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, and that nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights (i) in any other Person, including any employees or former employees of Saturn or its Subsidiaries, any participant in any Mercury Plan, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (ii) to continued employment with the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates.

(n) With respect to any Saturn Employees based outside of the United States, the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 6.9 shall be modified to the extent necessary to comply with applicable Laws of the foreign countries and political subdivisions thereof in which such Saturn Employees are based.

(o) Saturn agrees to consult in good faith with Mercury regarding material communications to Saturn Employees that describe the impact of the consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement on Saturn Plans and the Employment Agreements.

6.10

Financing.

(a) Mercury shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter, (ii) negotiate definitive agreements with respect thereto on terms and conditions (including the “flex” provisions) contemplated by the Commitment Letter (any such agreements the “Financing Definitive Agreements”), and execute and deliver to Saturn a copy thereof as promptly as practicable (and no later than one (1) Business Day) after such execution, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to the Financing in the Commitment Letter or the Financing Definitive Agreements that are within the control of Mercury and comply with its obligations thereunder, (iv) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing; provided, that under no circumstances shall Mercury or any of its Subsidiaries be required to issue, or permit Saturn or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, any equity or debt securities, incur, or permit Saturn or any of its Subsidiaries to incur, Indebtedness (other than pursuant to the Financing) or sell, dispose or otherwise transfer, or permit Saturn or any of its Subsidiaries to sell, dispose or otherwise transfer, any assets in order to satisfy any conditions in the Commitment Letter or in order to arrange or obtain any Financing and (v) enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter or the Financing Definitive Agreements in the event of a breach by the financing sources that impedes or delays the Closing, including seeking specific performance of the parties thereunder. In the event that all conditions to the Commitment Letter or the Financing Definitive Agreements have been satisfied or, upon funding will be satisfied, Mercury shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the lenders and the other Persons providing such Financing to fund on the Closing Date the Financing required to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including by taking enforcement action, including seeking specific performance, to cause such lenders and the other Persons providing such Financing to fund such Financing).

Mercury shall have the right from time to time to amend, replace, supplement or otherwise modify, or waive any of its rights under, the Commitment Letter or the Financing Definitive Agreements and/or substitute other debt or equity financing for all or any portion of the Financing from the same and/or alternative financing sources; provided, that any such amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification to or waiver of any provision of the Commitment Letter or the Financing Definitive Agreements that amends the Financing and/or substitution of all or any portion of the Financing shall not (A) expand upon the conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding on the Closing Date of the Financing as set forth in the Commitment Letter or the Financing Definitive Agreements or (B) prevent or impede or materially delay the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Mercury shall be permitted to reduce the amount of Financing under the Commitment Letter or the Financing Definitive Agreements in its reasonable discretion; provided, that Mercury shall not reduce the Financing to an amount committed below the amount that is required, together with the Repayment Amount and the financial resources of Mercury, including cash on hand and marketable securities, to consummate the Mergers; and provided, further, that such reduction shall not (x) expand upon the conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding on the Closing Date of the Financing as set forth in the Commitment Letter or the Financing Definitive Agreements or (y) prevent or materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable or Mercury becomes aware of any event or circumstance that makes any portion of the Financing unavailable, in each case, on the terms and conditions (including the “flex” provisions) contemplated in the Commitment Letter or the Financing Definitive Agreements and such portion is reasonably required to fund the aggregate Cash Consideration, Mercury shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative debt financing from the same and/or alternative financial institutions in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, upon terms and conditions not materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Mercury or the Saturn Merger Surviving Corporation than those in the Commitment Letter or the Financing Definitive Agreements as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event. Mercury shall give Saturn prompt oral and written notice (but in any event not later than one (1) Business Day after the occurrence) of any material breach by any party to the Commitment Letter or the Financing Definitive Agreements or of any condition not likely to be satisfied, in each case, of which Mercury has Knowledge, any termination of the Commitment Letter or the Financing Definitive Agreements. Mercury shall keep Saturn informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to consummate the Financing.

6.14 Overseas Financing. At the Closing, (a) Mercury will cause one or more non-U.S. Subsidiaries of Mercury (the “Mercury Overseas Subsidiaries”) to lend up to $9.4 billion, in the aggregate (such amount, as determined by Mercury in its discretion, the “Repayment Amount”), to Saturn Holdings BV and Saturn Intl CV and (b) Saturn will cause Saturn Holdings BV and Saturn Intl CV to pay the Repayment Amount to Saturn and Saturn Sub in satisfaction of such portion of the Intercompany Notes as equals the amount of such payment (for these purposes, translating currencies at the spot rate in effect on the date of such payment); it being understood that, for administrative convenience, the Mercury Overseas Subsidiaries may advance the Repayment Amount directly to the Exchange Agent, in which case Saturn, Saturn Sub, Saturn Holdings BV and Saturn Intl CV will issue appropriate letters of direction confirming such payments.

(“ISRA” and all such properties, the “New Jersey Properties”), or to obtain a Remediation Agreement (as such term is defined under ISRA) with respect to all New Jersey Properties.

10.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and

100

provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the extent possible.

10.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the exhibits hereto, the Saturn Disclosure Letter, the Mercury Disclosure Letter and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

10.5 Assignment; Merger Subs. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties, in whole or in part (whether by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

10.7 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, other than with respect to the Indemnified Parties solely pursuant to Section 6.8, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

10.8 No Strict Construction. Each party has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties.

10.9

Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New Jersey applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State, including all matters of construction, validity and performance.

(b) Any claim, action or dispute against any party to this Agreement arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be brought in the New Jersey Superior Court in Hunterdon County or in the event (but only in the event) that the New Jersey Superior

101

Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such claim, action or dispute, in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey sitting in Newark in the State of New Jersey. Each of the parties hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such claim, action or dispute; provided, that a final judgment in any such claim, action or dispute shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party irrevocably waives and unconditionally agrees not to assert, by way of a motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this agreement (i) any objection that it may ever have that the laying of venue of any such claim, action or dispute in any federal or state court located in the above named county or city is improper, (ii) any objection that any such claim, action or dispute brought in any of the above named courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (iii) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts. To the extent that service of process by mail is permitted by applicable Law, each party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such claim, action or dispute in such courts by the mailing of such process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address for notices provided for herein.

10.10 Disclosure Letters. The statements in the Saturn Disclosure Letter and the Mercury Disclosure Letter relate to the provisions in the section of this Agreement to which they expressly relate; provided, however, that any information set forth in one section of the Saturn Disclosure Letter or the Mercury Disclosure Letter, as the case may be, shall also be deemed to apply to each other section to which its relevance is reasonably apparent. In the Saturn Disclosure Letter and the Mercury Disclosure Letter, (a) all capitalized terms used but not defined therein shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement, (b) the section numbers correspond to the section numbers in this Agreement and (c) inclusion of any item in a disclosure letter (i) does not represent a determination that such item is material or establish a standard of materiality, (ii) does not represent a determination that such item did not arise in the ordinary course of business and (iii) shall not constitute, or be deemed to be, an admission to any third party concerning such item.

10.11 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in law or equity, including monetary damages, except as limited by Section 8.3) to seek and obtain (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. In circumstances where Mercury or Saturn is obligated to consummate the Mergers and the Mergers have not been consummated (other than as a result of the other party’s refusal to close in violation of this Agreement) each of Saturn and Mercury expressly acknowledges and agrees that the other party and its shareholders shall have suffered irreparable harm, that monetary damages will be inadequate to compensate such other party and its shareholders, and that such other party on behalf of itself and its shareholders shall be entitled to enforce specifically Mercury’s or Saturn’s, as the case may be, obligation to consummate the

102

Mergers. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that neither Saturn nor Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2 shall be entitled to enforce specifically the obligations of Mercury to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 shall have been satisfied or waived and the proceeds of the Financing are then available in full pursuant to the Commitment Letter (or if Financing Definitive Agreements have been entered into, pursuant to such Financing Definitive Agreements). Each party further agrees that no other party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 10.11, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

10.12 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE PARTIES WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR CONCERNING THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

10.14 Amendment. Subject to applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the mutual agreement of the parties at any time prior to the Initial Effective Time only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties.
