NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Newco, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree as follows:

Article I
THE MERGER

1.1 The Carry-Forward Share Purchase and the Merger.

(a) Carry-Forward Share Purchase. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, a Person (“TPH”) designated by Newco (by written notice to the Company) shall subscribe for one Share (the “Carry-Forward Share”) in exchange for cash equal to the Merger Consideration, and the Company shall issue the Carry-Forward Share to such Person in exchange for such cash payment.

(b) Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Newco. The Company, as the surviving corporation of the Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation.” Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Newco, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause the Merger to be consummated under the DGCL (and any other applicable Delaware law) by filing a certificate of merger in customary form and substance (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”) in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL. The time of such filing and acceptance by the Delaware Secretary of State, or such later time as may be agreed in writing by Newco and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger, is referred to herein as the “Effective Time.”

1.2 The Surviving Corporation of the Merger.

(a) Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(i) Certificate of Incorporation. Subject to the terms of Section 7.11, at the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read identically to the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and such amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation shall become the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and such Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Informatica Corporation”.

(ii) Bylaws. Subject to the terms of Section 7.11, at the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall become the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws.

(b) Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.

(i) Directors. At the Effective Time, the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

(ii) Officers. At the Effective Time, the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly appointed.

1.3 General Effects of the Merger. The effects of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock of the Merging Corporations.

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 1.4(a), at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Newco, Merger Sub, the Company, or any other Person, (i) each share of class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of class A common stock of the Surviving Corporation, with each certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of class A common stock of Merger Sub thereafter evidencing ownership of shares of class A common stock of the Surviving Corporation and (ii) each share of class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished for no consideration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Newco shall have the right to convert Merger Sub from a Delaware corporation into a Delaware limited liability company prior to the Closing Date (the “Merger Sub Conversion”), provided that Newco shall notify the Company of such conversion no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. In the event that the Merger Sub Conversion is consummated, and only in such event, the first sentence of this Section 1.4(a) shall be inapplicable and of no further force and effect and, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Newco, Merger Sub, the Company, or any other Person, each limited liability company interest of Merger Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of class A common stock of the Surviving Corporation, with each certificate evidencing ownership of such limited liability company interests of Merger Sub, if any, thereafter evidencing ownership of shares of class A common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Common Stock of the Company.

(i) Generally. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Newco, Merger Sub, the Company, or any other Person, other than as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.4(b), each Share that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested or otherwise subject to a repurchase option or obligation, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with the Company or under which the Company has any rights), other than Cancelled Shares, Dissenting Shares and the Carry-Forward Share, shall be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon the surrender of the certificate, if any, representing such Share or the transfer of such non-certificated Shares represented by book entry (“Uncertificated Shares”) in the manner provided in Section 2.3(c) (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit (and bond, if required) in the manner provided in Section 2.3(d)); provided, however, that the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, all Shares (other than the Carry-Forward Share) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of Shares (other than the Carry-Forward Share) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration issuable in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(i). The Merger Consideration issued upon the surrender for exchange of Shares (other than the Carry-Forward Share) in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Shares which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If,

after the Effective Time, a certificate representing Shares (other than the Carry-Forward Share) is presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, then such certificate shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.4(b).

(ii) Cancelled Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Newco, Merger Sub, the Company, or any other Person, each Share that is owned by Newco, Merger Sub or the Company, or by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Newco, Merger Sub or the Company, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Cancelled Shares”), shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor.

(iii) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares and the Carry-Forward Share) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration but instead shall be entitled to payment of the appraised value of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.4(b)(i), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Uncertificated Share, as the case may be. The Company shall provide Newco prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Delaware Law that relates to such demand, and Newco shall have the opportunity and right to participate in and direct all negotiations and Legal Proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Newco, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands.

(iv) Carry-Forward Share. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Newco, Merger Sub, the Company, or any other Person, the Carry-Forward Share shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of class B common stock of the Surviving Corporation (and such share of class B common stock of the Surviving Corporation, along with the shares of class A common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which the shares of class A common stock of Merger Sub (or, in the event that the Merger Sub Conversion is consummated, the limited liability company interests of Merger sub) are converted pursuant to Section 1.4(a), shall be the only shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time).

(i) Stock Options. Newco shall not assume any Company Options in connection with the Merger. At the Effective Time, each Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) shall, without any action on the part of Newco, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into, and shall become a

right to receive, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per share of such Company Option, multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares issuable upon the exercise in full of such Company Option (the “Option Consideration”); provided that, if the exercise price per share of any such Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall be cancelled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof. The payment of the Option Consideration will be subject to withholding for all required Taxes. The Company agrees to take all actions necessary to effect this cancellation of Company Options upon the Effective Time and to give effect to this Section 1.4(c)(i) (including the satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act). As soon as practicable (and in no event more than thirty calendar days) following the Closing, Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each holder of a Company Option the Option Consideration (if any), less any applicable withholding taxes, required to be paid to any such holder of a Company Option. The cancellation of a Company Option as provided in the first sentence of this Section 1.4(c)(i) shall be deemed the termination, and satisfaction in full of, any and all rights the holder had or may have had in respect of such Company Option.

(ii) Restricted Stock Units.

(A) Vested RSUs. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Newco and a holder of a Vested RSU prior to the Effective Time, at the Effective Time, each Vested RSU shall, without any action on the part of Newco, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into, and shall become a right to receive, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares subject to such Vested RSUs (the “Vested RSU Consideration”). The payment of the Vested RSU Consideration will be subject to withholding (pursuant to net share issuance and withholding) for all required Taxes. The Company agrees to take all action necessary to effect this cancellation of Vested RSUs upon the Effective Time and to give effect to this Section 1.4(c)(ii)(A) (including the satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act). As soon as practicable (and in no event more than thirty calendar days) following the Closing, but subject to any payment timing requirements set forth in the applicable plan and/or any applicable agreements governing the Vested RSUs, Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each holder of Vested RSUs, the Vested RSU Consideration, less any applicable withholding taxes, required to be paid to the holder of such Vested RSUs. The cancellation of an award of Vested RSUs as provided in the first sentence of this Section 1.4(c)(ii)(A) shall be deemed the termination, and satisfaction in full of, any and all rights the holder had or may have had in respect of such award of Vested RSUs.

(B) Rollover RSUs. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Newco and a holder of an award covering any Rollover RSUs prior to the Effective Time, at the Effective Time each award covering any Rollover RSUs shall, without any action on the part of Newco, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be assumed and converted into a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares subject to such Rollover RSUs (each, a “Converted RSU Cash Award”). Each portion of any Converted RSU Cash Award shall, subject to the holder’s continued employment with Newco or its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) through the Adjusted Vesting Date relating to the underlying Rollover RSU, vest on the applicable Adjusted Vesting Date and the vested portion of the Converted RSU Cash Award will be paid to the holder of such Converted RSU Cash Award in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan and/or applicable agreements governing the Rollover RSU. The Converted RSU Cash Awards will otherwise retain the same terms and conditions as contained in the original Rollover RSU. For the avoidance of doubt, Newco shall assume the Rollover RSUs as Converted RSU Cash Awards in connection with the Merger subject to the terms and conditions set forth

in this Section 1.4(c)(ii)(B). For the purposes of all Rollover RSUs and Rollover PSUs, each vesting date underlying the applicable award shall be accelerated by twelve months (each an “Adjusted Vesting Date”).

(iii) Performance Restricted Stock Units. With respect to PSUs that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of Shares subject to the applicable PSU shall be determined as follows: (x) if the performance period has already been completed, the number of Shares subject to the applicable PSU shall be based on actual performance during the completed performance period or (y) if the applicable performance period has not been completed, all performance goals shall be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of the applicable target levels, provided that if the applicable plan and/or any applicable agreements governing the PSUs specify that a greater number of Shares subject to the PSUs otherwise would vest on or prior to the Effective Time, then the terms of the applicable plan and/or any applicable agreements governing such PSU shall control. PSUs outstanding as of the Effective Time shall vest and settle as set forth below.

(A) Vested PSUs. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Newco and a holder of a Vested PSU prior to the Effective Time, at the Effective Time, each Vested PSU shall, without any action on the part of Newco, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into, and shall become a right to receive, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares subject to such PSUs (as determined in accordance with this Section 1.4(c)(iii)) (the “Vested PSU Consideration”). The payment of the Vested PSU Consideration will be subject to withholding (pursuant to net share issuance and withholding) for all required Taxes. The Company agrees to take all action necessary to effect this cancellation of Vested PSUs upon the Effective Time and to give effect to this Section 1.4(c)(iii)(A) (including the satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act). As soon as practicable (and in no event more than thirty calendar days) following the Closing, but subject to any payment timing requirements set forth in the applicable plan and/or any applicable agreements governing the Vested PSUs, Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each holder of Vested PSUs the Vested PSU Consideration, less any applicable withholding taxes, required to be paid to the holder of such Vested PSUs. The cancellation of an award of Vested PSUs as provided in the first sentence of this Section 1.4(c)(iii)(A) shall be deemed the termination, and satisfaction in full of, any and all rights the holder had or may have had in respect of such award of Vested PSUs.

(B) Rollover PSUs. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Newco and a holder of an award covering any Rollover PSUs prior to the Effective Time, at the Effective Time each award covering any Rollover PSUs shall, without any action on the part of Newco, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be assumed and converted into a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares subject to such Rollover PSUs (as determined in accordance with this Section 1.4(c)(iii)) (each, a “Converted PSU Cash Award”). Each portion of any Converted PSU Cash Award shall, subject to the holder’s continued employment with Newco or its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) through the applicable Adjusted Vesting Dates relating to the underlying Rollover PSU, vest on the applicable Adjusted Vesting Dates and the vested portion of the Converted PSU Cash Award will be paid to the holder of such Converted PSU Cash Award in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan and/or applicable agreements governing the Rollover PSU. The Converted PSU Cash Awards will otherwise retain the same terms and conditions as contained in the original Rollover PSU. For the avoidance of doubt, Newco shall assume the Rollover PSUs as Converted PSU Cash Awards in connection with the Merger subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.4(iii)(B).

(iv) Treatment of ESPP. The Company shall terminate the ESPP effective as of the Effective Time. If the Purchase Period (as defined in the ESPP) under the ESPP that is in effect on the date of this Agreement (the “Current Purchase Period”) does not conclude prior to the Effective Time, (i) the Current Purchase Period shall terminate immediately prior to the Effective Time; (ii) each Participant’s (as defined in the ESPP) accumulated payroll deduction shall be used to purchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the ESPP; and (iii) such Shares shall be treated the same as all other Shares in accordance with Section 1.4(b)(i). The Company shall take such action as may be necessary to provide that (i) only Participants in the ESPP as of the date of this Agreement may continue to participate in the ESPP after the date of this Agreement; (ii) no Participant in the ESPP may increase after the date of this Agreement the payroll deductions credited to such Participant’s account under the ESPP; and (iii) no further Purchase Periods shall commence under the ESPP on or following the date of this Agreement.

(v) Corporate Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board and the Compensation Committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the provisions of Sections 1.4(c)(i), 1.4(c)(ii), 1.4(c)(iii) and 1.4(c)(iv) and to ensure that neither any holder of an Outstanding Stock Award any other participant in any Company Equity Incentive Plan shall have any right thereunder to acquire any securities of the Company, Newco or the Surviving Corporation or to receive any payment or benefit with respect to any award previously granted under a Company Equity Incentive Plans, except as provided in this Section 1.4(c).

(vi) Payment. The Company or the Surviving Corporation shall pay through its payroll system the Option Consideration, Vested RSU Consideration and Vested PSU Consideration required pursuant to this Section 1.4.

1.5 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes or intent of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the directors and officers of the Company and Merger Sub shall have the authority to take all such lawful and necessary action.

(a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Newco to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent”).

(b) Payment Fund.

(i) Creation of Payment Fund. On the Closing Date, Newco or the Surviving Corporation shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, for payment to the holders of Shares pursuant to the provisions of Article I, an amount of cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the Merger Consideration by (y) the aggregate number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding Cancelled Shares, Dissenting Shares and the Carry-Forward Share) (such cash amount being referred to herein as the “Payment Fund”). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Dissenting Shares, Newco shall only be required to deposit or cause to be deposited with the Payment Agent cash sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration in exchange for any such Dissenting Shares if the holder thereof fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its right to appraisal under the DGCL. From time to time following the Effective Time as required, Newco or the Surviving Corporation shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent additional cash in any amount necessary to enable the Payment Agent to pay any and all Merger Consideration payable hereunder.

(ii) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Shares on the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand, and any holders of Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger who have not theretofore exchanged their Shares for the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.4(b) shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation, as general creditors thereof, for any payment of and claim to the applicable Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article I.

(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time, Newco and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares (other than the Carry-Forward Share) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares (excluding Cancelled Shares, Dissenting Shares and the

Carry-Forward Share) (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or transfer of Uncertificated Shares (excluding Cancelled Shares, Dissenting Shares and the Carry-Forward Share) to the Payment Agent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of Article I. Each holder of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the Shares represented by a Certificate or Uncertificated Share, upon (x) surrender to the Payment Agent of a Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Payment Agent, or (y) 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) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, from and after the Effective Time each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of Article I. If Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article I. No interest shall be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender or transfer of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share. From and after the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Shares 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.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration issuable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i); provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(e) Transferred Shares. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Payment Agent any transfer or other similar Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Payment Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) Tax Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Newco and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under Applicable Law. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Newco, the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto

shall be liable to a holder of Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.

4.9 Financing.

(a) Newco has delivered to the Company complete and accurate copies of executed commitment letters of even date herewith (collectively, the “Equity Commitment Letter”) from the Sponsors pursuant to which the Sponsors have committed to provide, subject only to the terms and conditions expressly set forth therein, equity financing for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the aggregate amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”). The Equity Commitment Letter provides that the Company is a third-party beneficiary thereof and is entitled to enforce such agreement, and that Newco and the Sponsors have waived any defenses to the enforceability of such third party beneficiary rights, in each case, subject only to the express terms and conditions thereof. The Equity Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered to the Company, is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Newco and the Sponsors, enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Equity Commitment Letter may be specifically enforced against the Sponsors.

(b) Newco has delivered to the Company complete and accurate copies of the executed commitment letter of even date herewith, and the executed engagement letter and fee letters (including any “flex” provisions) related thereto of even date herewith (except that the fee amounts, pricing caps and other economic terms, none of which would adversely affect the amount, conditionality, availability or termination of the Debt Financing to be funded at the Closing, set forth therein have been redacted), together with any related exhibits, schedules, annexes, supplements and term sheets (collectively, the “Debt Commitment Letters” and, together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Financing Commitment Letters”), pursuant to which the lender parties thereto (together with their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, employees, directors, equityholders, partners, controlling parties, advisors, agents and representatives and their successors and assigns, the “Debt Financing Sources”) have committed to provide, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, debt financing for the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the aggregate amount set forth therein (the “Debt Financing” and together with the Equity Financing, the “Financing”). Any reference in this Agreement to (i) “Equity Commitment Letter,” “Debt Commitment Letters” or “Financing Commitment Letters” will include such documents as amended or modified in compliance with the provisions of Section 7.3, and (ii) the “Financing” will include the financing contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letters as amended or modified in compliance with the provisions of Section 7.3. Newco has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees that have been incurred and are due and payable in connection with the Financing Commitment Letters prior to or in connection with the execution of this Agreement. The Debt Commitment Letters in the form so delivered to the Company are in full force and effect and are legal, valid and binding obligations of Newco and, to the knowledge of

Newco, the other parties thereto, enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with their terms, subject to the Enforceability Limitations.

(c) The aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letters, as of the date hereof, together with the Company’s available cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities (based on the most recent balance sheet contained in the SEC Reports), in the aggregate are sufficient (after netting out applicable fees, expenses, original issue discount and similar premiums and charges provided under the Debt Commitment Letters, including after giving effect to the maximum amount of the flex, including original issue discount flex) to enable Newco to (i) consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement upon the terms contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) pay all of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of Shares in the Merger pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) pay all amounts payable in respect of Company Options and RSUs (including PSUs) under this Agreement, (iv) pay all liabilities and other obligations of the Company contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letters in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (v) pay all related fees and expenses associated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement incurred by Newco, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates.

(d) As of the date of this Agreement, (i) none of the Financing Commitment Letters has been amended or modified (and no such amendment or modification is contemplated as of the date hereof) and (ii) the respective commitments set forth in the Financing Commitment Letters have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect (and no such withdrawal or rescission is contemplated). Except as set forth in the Financing Commitment Letters, there are no side letters or other agreements, contracts or arrangements relating to the Financing. To Newco’s knowledge, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Newco under any term or condition of the Financing Commitment Letters in the form so delivered to the Company, or otherwise result in any portion of the Financing contemplated thereby to be unavailable or delayed (assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2(a) and (b) of this Agreement). There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than as set forth in the Financing Commitment Letters. Newco has no reason to believe that any term or condition to the Financing set forth in the Financing Commitment Letters will not be fully satisfied on a timely basis or that the Financing will not be available to Newco at the Closing, including any reason to believe that any of the Debt Financing Sources or the Sponsors will not perform their respective funding obligations under the Financing Commitment Letters in accordance with their respective terms and conditions.

(e) None of the Sponsors, Newco, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates has entered into any Contract with any Person (i) awarding any Person any financial advisory role on an exclusive basis, or (ii) prohibiting or seeking to prohibit such Person from providing or seeking to provide debt financing to any Person in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger.

4.10 Funding Agreement. The Funding Agreement is in full force and effect and is a valid and binding obligation of the Sponsors, enforceable against the Sponsors in accordance with its terms (subject to the Enforceability Limitations) and no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could constitute a default on the part of the Sponsors under the Funding Agreement.

The information supplied by Newco, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing will not, at the time that the Proxy Statement or such Other Required Company Filing is filed with the SEC, knowingly 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 misleading.

(iv) Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Newco 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 or any Other Required Newco Filing. If at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting any information relating to the Company, Newco, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates should be discovered by the Company, on the one hand, or Newco or Merger Sub, on the other hand, that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Newco 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 will promptly notify the other, and an appropriate amendment or supplement to such filing describing such information will 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.

(v) The Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Newco, 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, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Newco Filing, as the case may be, without providing the other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such written communication which comments shall be considered by the filing party in good faith.

(vi) The Company, on the one hand, and Newco and Merger Sub, on the other hand, will advise the other, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for (A) any amendment or revisions to the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Newco Filing, as the case may be, (B) any receipt of comments from the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Newco Filing, as the case may be, or (C) any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for additional information in connection therewith.

(vii) Subject to Applicable Law, the Company will 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.

(b) Stockholder Meeting.

(i) The Company shall establish a record date for, call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the Company Stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement for the purpose of voting upon the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with Delaware Law (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”), with the record date and meeting date of the Company Stockholder Meeting to be selected after reasonable consultation with Newco. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing will prevent the Company from postponing or adjourning the Company Stockholder Meeting if (A) there are not holders of a sufficient number of Shares present or represented by proxy at the Company Stockholder Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Stockholder Meeting, (B) the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting by Applicable Law, order or a request from the SEC or its staff, or (C) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that it is necessary or appropriate to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting, including 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).

(ii) The Company shall solicit from Company Stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with Delaware Law, and unless the Company Board has effected a Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to secure the Requisite Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholders Meeting. Unless this

Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Article VIII, the Company shall establish a record date for, call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting for the purpose of voting upon the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with Delaware Law, whether or not the Company Board at any time subsequent to the date hereof shall have effected a Company Board Recommendation Change or otherwise shall determine that this Agreement is no longer advisable or recommends that the Company Stockholders reject it.

(i) Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1(c), (A) the Company Board shall (x) recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law (the “Company Board Recommendation”) and (y) include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, and (B) neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (1) fail to make, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner that is adverse to Newco, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner that is adverse to Newco, or (2) approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Transaction other than the Merger (the actions or inactions referred to in the preceding clauses (1) and (2) being referred to herein as a “Company Board Recommendation Change”).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company Board may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval in the event that:

(A) the Company Board has received a written Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement that was not solicited in material violation of Section 6.2(a);

(B) The Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and its outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal (which determination and any public announcement thereof shall not constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change);

(C) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company Board shall have given Newco at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice of its intention to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 7.1(c)(ii) (the “Board Recommendation Notice Period”) (which notice shall include the most current version of the proposed definitive agreement and, to the extent not included therein, all material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal);

(D) if requested by Newco, during the Board Recommendation Notice Period, the Company shall have met and negotiated with Newco regarding modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to be a Superior Proposal;

(E) prior to the end of the Board Recommendation Notice Period, Newco shall not have made a counter-offer or proposal in writing and in a manner that, if accepted by the Company, would form a binding contract, that the Company Board determines (after consultation with its financial advisor and its outside legal counsel) is at least as favorable to the Company Stockholders as such Superior Proposal (it being understood that (x) any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including, any revision in price, shall require a new written notice pursuant to clause (C) above,

(y) the Board Recommendation Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to the extent necessary to ensure that at least three (3) Business Days remain in the Board Recommendation Notice Period subsequent to each time the Company notifies Newco of any such material revision and (z) there may be multiple extensions of the Board Recommendation Notice Period); and

(F) the Company Board determines (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and after considering any counter-offer or proposal made by Newco pursuant to clause (E) above), that, in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company Board may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event unrelated to a Superior Proposal at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval but only if prior to taking any such action:

(A) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law (taking into account any adjustment or revisions proposed by Newco (including pursuant to clause (C) below);

(B) the Company Board has given Newco at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, which notice shall specify in detail the basis for the Company Board Recommendation Change;

(C) during such five (5) Business Day period, the Company has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Newco to the extent Newco wishes to negotiate, to enable Newco to revise the terms of this Agreement in such a manner that would obviate the need for taking such action;

(D) following such five (5) Business Day period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisers and outside legal counsel) that the revisions proposed by Newco pursuant to the foregoing clause (C) would not obviate the need for a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event.

(iv) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board from taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act or any other Applicable Law; provided, however, that any statement(s) made by the Company Board pursuant to Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, that it shall not constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change for the Company Board to make a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d9-f.

7.2 Regulatory Approvals.

(a) Filings and Cooperation. Each of Newco and the Company shall (a) within fifteen (15) Business Days following the date hereof, file with the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the DOJ a Notification and Report Form relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby

Each party hereto shall promptly inform the other party or parties hereto, as the case may be, of any communication, and furnish the other parties with copies of any written communication, from any Governmental Authority in the U.S. or any Relevant Antitrust Jurisdictions regarding the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If any party hereto or Affiliate thereof receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then such party shall use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request.

(b) Remedies. In furtherance and not in limitation of the provisions of Section 7.2(a), if and to the extent necessary to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to clearance of the Merger pursuant to the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws of the Relevant Antitrust Jurisdictions applicable to the Merger, each of Newco and Merger Sub (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable) will (i) offer, negotiate, commit to and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, (A) the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any and all of the capital stock or other equity or voting interest, assets (whether tangible or intangible), rights, products or businesses of Newco and Merger Sub (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable), on the one hand, and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand; and (B) any other restrictions on the activities of Newco and Merger Sub (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable), on the one hand, and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, and (ii) contest, defend and appeal any Legal Proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate or require Newco, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates to, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, without the prior written consent of Newco, take any action, or agree or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or limitation, in connection with obtaining the foregoing clearances that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, or financial condition of (x) Newco, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, or (y) the Company and its Subsidiaries (in each case of (x) and (y), measured on a scale relative to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole).

(c) Additional Actions. 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, unless the Company otherwise consents, Newco and Merger Sub will not, and will not cause any of their Affiliates (including the Sponsors) to: (a) acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business of any Person or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets if such business competes in any line of business of the Company or its Subsidiaries and the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation could reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorization, consent, order, declaration or approval of any Governmental

Authority necessary to consummate the Merger or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, (iii) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise, or (iv) materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Merger; (b) enter or agree to enter into any definitive agreement (i) for the acquisition of any business or Person or take or agree to take any other action that, in either case, would reasonably be expected to materially interfere with their ability to make available to the Payment Agent immediately prior to the Effective Time funds sufficient to enable Newco and Merger Sub to satisfy all of their obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) that otherwise would be reasonably expected to delay or prevent the consummation of the Merger; and (c) take or agree to take any other action that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger.

7.3 Financing.

(a) No Amendments to Financing Commitment Letters. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Newco and Merger Sub will not permit any assignment of the Financing Commitment Letters, or any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Financing Commitment Letters if such assignment, amendment, modification or waiver would, or could reasonably be expected to, (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing (unless the Equity Financing is increased by an equivalent amount) or reduce the aggregate amount of the Equity Financing, (ii) impose new or additional conditions to the Financing or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing, (iii) adversely impact the ability of Newco or Merger Sub to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Commitment Letters, or (iv) prevent, impede or materially delay the consummation of the Financing. In addition to the foregoing, Newco and Merger Sub shall not release or consent to the termination of the Debt Commitment Letters or of any lender in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letters or release any commitment in connection with the appointment of the Additional Lead Arrangers under Section 2 of the Debt Commitment Letters prior to the first to occur of the Closing and the expiration of the Debt Commitment Letters in accordance with their terms, except (x) for assignments and replacements of a lender under the terms of, and only in connection with, the syndication in connection with the funding and Closing of the Debt Financing under the Debt Commitment Letters, (y) for replacements of the Debt Commitment Letters with alternative financing commitments pursuant to Section 7.3(c) or (z) with the prior written consent of the Company.

(b) Equity Financing. Newco shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions and do (or cause to be done) all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Equity Financing, including by (i) maintaining in effect the Equity Commitment Letter, (ii) complying with its obligations under the Equity Commitment Letter, (iii) satisfying on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Newco or Merger Sub in such Equity Commitment Letter that are within its control, if any, (iv) enforcing its rights under the Equity Commitment Letter, and (v) consummating the Equity Financing at or prior to Closing, including by causing the Sponsors to fund the Equity Financing at the Closing.

(c) Debt Financing and Alternate Debt Financing.

satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to funding that are applicable to Newco and Merger Sub in the Debt Commitment Letters and the definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters, (v) enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letters and (vi) consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing. Newco and Merger Sub will fully pay, or cause to be fully paid, all commitment or other fees arising pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letters as and when they become due. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters, Newco shall use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, (i) obtain alternative financing from alternative sources on terms and conditions not less favorable in the aggregate to Newco, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters and in an amount at least equal to the Debt Financing or such unavailable portion thereof, as the case may be (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 Debt Commitment Letters will replace the existing Debt Commitment Letter in whole or in part. Newco shall promptly provide the Company with a copy of any New Debt Commitment Letters and any fee letter in connection therewith (except that the fee amounts, pricing caps and other economic terms, none of which would adversely affect the conditionality, availability or termination of the Alternate Debt Financing to be funded at the Closing, set forth therein may be redacted). In the event that any New Debt Commitment Letters are obtained, (A) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing Commitment Letters” or the “Debt Commitment Letters” will be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letters to the extent not superseded by one or more New Debt Commitment Letters 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 “Financing” or the “Debt Financing” means the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters as modified pursuant to the foregoing.

(d) Information. Newco and Merger Sub shall (i) keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing or any applicable Alternate Debt Financing, and (ii) promptly (but in any event within one Business Day) provide the Company with copies of all executed amendments, modifications or replacements of Debt Commitment Letters (it being understood that any amendments, modifications or replacements shall only be as permitted herein) or definitive agreements related to the Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Newco and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the Company (A) of any breach (or threatened breach) or default (or any event or circumstance that, with notice or lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to the Financing Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing of which Newco becomes aware, (B) of the receipt by Newco or Merger Sub of any written notice or communication from the Sponsors, any Equity Financing Source or any Debt Financing Source with respect to any breach (or threatened breach), default, termination or repudiation by any party to a Financing Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements related to the Financing of any provisions of any Financing Commitment Letter or such definitive agreements, and (C) if for any reason, Newco or Merger Sub at any time believes it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letters or any definitive agreements related to the Financing.

(e) No Financing Condition. Newco and Merger Sub each acknowledge and agree that obtaining the Financing is not a condition to the Closing. In the event that the Financing has not been obtained, Newco and Merger Sub will each continue to be obligated, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2, to consummate the Merger.

(f) Company Support.

(i) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause each of its Subsidiaries and Representatives to use its respective reasonable best efforts, to provide Newco, at Newco’s sole expense, with all cooperation reasonably requested by Newco to assist it in causing the conditions in the Debt Commitment Letters to be satisfied or as is otherwise reasonably requested by Newco in connection with the Debt Financing, including:

(i) No Exclusive Arrangements. In no event will the Sponsors, the Equity Financing Sources, Newco, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates (which for this purpose will be deemed to include each direct investor in Newco or Merger Sub and the financing sources or potential financing sources of Newco, Merger Sub and such investors) enter into or enforce any Contract prohibiting or seeking to prohibit any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt or equity financing for the Merger or any other transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from providing or seeking to provide debt or equity financing to any Person in connection with the Merger or any other transaction relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(j) Company Logos. The Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ logos may be used in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Nothing in this Section 7.3(k) shall in any way limit or qualify the obligations and liabilities of the parties to the Debt Commitment Letters to each other or in connection therewith.

7.4 Efforts to Close.

(a) Reasonable Best Efforts. In furtherance and not in limitation of the other covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, including Sections 7.2 and 7.3, each of Newco, Merger Sub and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to take (or cause to be taken) all actions, and to do (or cause to be done), and to assist and cooperate with the other party or parties hereto in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the conditions to the Merger set forth in Section 2.2 to be satisfied or fulfilled, (ii) obtain all necessary consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Authorities, the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and all other applicable Antitrust Laws in the Relevant Antitrust Jurisdictions, and (iii) seek all necessary or appropriate consents, waivers and approvals under any Material Contracts to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in connection with this Agreement and the consummation

of the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to maintain and preserve the benefits under such Material Contracts following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger).

(b) Forbearance. In addition to the foregoing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, neither Newco or Merger Sub or their Affiliates, on the one hand, nor the Company, on the other hand, will take any action, or fail to take any action, that is intended to or has (or would reasonably be expected to have) the effect of preventing, impairing, materially delaying or otherwise adversely affecting (i) the consummation of the Merger, or (ii) the ability of such party to fully perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no action by the Company taken in compliance with Section 7.3(f) will be considered a violation of this Section 7.4.

(c) No Consent Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to agree to the payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration (including increased or accelerated payments), or the provision of additional security (including a guaranty), in connection with the Merger, including in connection with obtaining any consent pursuant to any Material Contract.

7.5 Access to the Company. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, the Company shall afford Newco and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and after reasonable advance notice, to all assets, properties, books and records and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Newco may reasonably request; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (a) any 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 Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound 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; provided that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third Person to such Contract; (d) access would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third Persons; or (e) such documents or information are reasonably pertinent to any adverse Legal Proceeding between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Newco and its Affiliates, on the other hand. Nothing in this Section 7.5 will 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 7.5 will be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or 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 insurance requirements 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 Newco or any of its Representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 7.5. All requests for access pursuant to this Section 7.5 must be directed to the General Counsel of the Company, or another person designated in writing by the Company.

7.8 Public Disclosure. The initial press release concerning this Agreement and the Merger will be a joint press release reasonably acceptable to the Company and Newco. Thereafter, except in connection with a Company Board Recommendation Change or following a Company Board Recommendation Change), the Company, on the one hand, and Newco and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to consult with the other parties to this Agreement before (a) participating in any media interviews, (b) engaging in any meetings or calls with analysts, institutional investors or other similar Persons, or (c) providing any statements that are public or are reasonably likely to become public, in any such case to the extent relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Merger; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Company, Newco or Merger Sub will not be obligated to engage in such consultation with respect to communications that are (i) required by Applicable Law or any stock exchange rule or listing agreement, or (ii) principally directed to employees, suppliers, customers, partners or vendors.

7.9 Transaction Litigation. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall promptly notify Newco of all (i) notices other communications received by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, its Subsidiaries or Newco and (ii) Legal Proceedings commenced or threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in each case in connection with, arising from or otherwise relating to the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement (“Transaction Litigation”) (including by

providing copies of all pleadings with respect thereto) and thereafter keep Newco reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. The Company shall (a) give Newco the opportunity to participate in the defense, settlement or prosecution of any Transaction Litigation; and (b) consult with Newco with respect to the defense, settlement and prosecution of any Transaction Litigation. For purposes of this Section 7.9, “participate” means that Newco will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the Transaction Litigation by the Company (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected), and Newco may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Transaction Litigation which the Company shall consider in good faith, but will not be afforded any decision-making power or other authority over such Transaction Litigation.

7.10 Section 16(b) Exemption. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

7.11 Directors and Officers Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Existing Agreements and Protections. The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under any and all indemnification agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Persons”). In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the certificates of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar 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 certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, and during such six-year period such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by Applicable Law.

(b) Indemnification. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 7.11(a), during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry arises directly or indirectly out of or pertains directly or indirectly to (i) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to, at or after the Effective Time), or (ii) any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Newco a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under this Section 7.11(b), then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such time

as such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, (i) the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time (it being understood that, by electing to control the defense thereof, the Surviving Corporation will be deemed to have waived any right to object to the Indemnified Person’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto), (ii) each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to retain his or her own counsel, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control the defense of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, (iii) the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by an Indemnified Person promptly after statements therefor are received, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control the defense of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, and (iv) no Indemnified Person shall be liable for any settlement effected without his or her prior express written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.11(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Surviving Corporation nor any of its Affiliates (including Newco) shall settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person under this Agreement unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all Indemnified Persons from all liability arising out of such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry.

(c) Insurance. During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, covering each person covered by the D&O Insurance, on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are equivalent to those of the D&O Insurance; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligations under this Section 7.11(c), the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such three hundred percent (300%) amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”); provided, however, that that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium. Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may purchase a six-year “tail” prepaid policy on the D&O Insurance. In the event that the Company elects to purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of the Surviving Corporation (and Newco) under the first sentence of this Section 7.11(c) for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(d) Successors and Assigns. If the Surviving Corporation (or Newco) or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation (or Newco) set forth in this Section 7.11.

(e) No Impairment; Third Party Beneficiaries. The obligations set forth in this Section 7.11 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.11(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) without the prior written

consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.11(c) (and their heirs and representatives). Each of the Indemnified Persons or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.11(c) (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.11, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.11(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 7.11 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificates of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable law (whether at law or in equity).

(f) Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations and liability of the Surviving Corporation, Newco and their respective Subsidiaries under this Section 7.11 shall be joint and several.

(g) Preservation of Other Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.11 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

7.12 Employee Matters.

(a) Acknowledgment of Change of Control. Newco hereby acknowledges that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Employee Plans, as applicable, will occur as of the Effective Time, as applicable.

(b) Existing Agreements. From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) honor all Employee Plans and compensation arrangements in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall prohibit the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any such Employee Plans, arrangements or agreements in accordance with their terms or Applicable Law.

(c) Continuation of Company Plans. As of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) continue to employ the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who are employed as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) either (i) maintain for the benefit of each Continuing Employee the Employee Plans and any other employee benefit plans or other compensation and severance arrangements of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (together, the “Company Plans” but excluding equity based benefits and individual employment agreements) at benefit levels that are no less than those in effect at the Company or its Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement, and provide compensation and benefits to each Continuing Employee under such Company Plans, or (ii) provide compensation, benefits and severance payments (other than equity based benefits) to each Continuing Employee that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable in the aggregate than the compensation, benefits and severance payments (other than equity based benefits) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Comparable Plans”), or (iii) provide some combination of (i) and (ii) above such that each Continuing Employee receives compensation,

benefits and severance payments (other than equity based benefits ) that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable in the aggregate than the compensation, benefits and severance payments (other than equity based benefits ) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time. For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Newco will cause the Surviving Corporation to) provide severance benefits to eligible employees in accordance with the Company’s severance plans, guidelines and practices as in effect on the date of this Agreement and that have been made available to Newco prior to the Closing.

(d) Service Credit; Etc. The Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) provide each Continuing Employee with credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries (and their respective predecessors) 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 accrual and severance pay entitlement and excluding for purposes of any defined benefit plan or retiree welfare plan); provided, however, that such service need not be credited to the extent that (i) it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits or (ii) such service credit is not recognized by the Company for similar purposes as of immediately prior to the date hereof. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all employee benefit plans sponsored by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (other than the Company Plans) (such plans, collectively, the “New Plans”) to the extent coverage under any such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision and/or disability benefits to any Continuing Employee, the Surviving Corporation shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, and the Surviving Corporation shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing 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 given full credit under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing 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, and (iii) credit the accounts of such Continuing Employees under any New Plan which is a flexible spending plan with any unused balance in the account of such Continuing Employee under the applicable Company Plan. Any vacation or paid time off accrued but unused by a Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be credited to such Continuing Employee following the Effective Time, and shall not limit future accruals.

(e) No Third Party Beneficiary Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Section 7.12 will not be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Newco, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to terminate any Continuing Employee for any reason; (ii) subject to the limitations and requirements specifically set forth in this Section 7.12, require Newco, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to continue any Company Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time; (iii) create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person; or (iv) establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement.

7.13 Obligations of Merger Sub. Newco shall take all actions necessary to cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement upon the terms and

subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Newco and Merger Sub will be jointly and severally liable for the failure by either of them to perform and discharge any of their respective covenants, agreements and obligations pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement.

7.14 Newco Vote. Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Newco, in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, will execute and deliver to Merger Sub and the Company a written consent approving the Merger in accordance with the DGCL.

7.15 Repatriation. The Company and its Subsidiaries will use their commercially reasonable efforts (in the manner reasonably requested in writing by Newco) to distribute or transfer or cause to be distributed or transferred, immediately before Closing (including pursuant to the repayment of outstanding intercompany obligations), any unrestricted cash balances held in commercial bank accounts of any non-U.S. Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no distribution or transfer will be required to be made (i) to the extent that such distribution or transfer would be subject to withholding or other Taxes or would cause the Company or any Subsidiary to suffer any other adverse Tax consequences in advance of the Effective Time, and (ii) unless and until all of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Section 2.2 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder) at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) of such conditions at the Closing) and Newco has irrevocably confirmed that it is prepared to consummate the Closing.

9.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Company Disclosure Letter, 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; provided, however, the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be

superseded, shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER NEWCO AND MERGER SUB, ON THE ONE HAND, NOR THE COMPANY, ON THE OTHER HAND, MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO THE OTHER, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OTHER INFORMATION, MADE (OR MADE AVAILABLE) BY ITSELF OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES, WITH RESPECT TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DELIVERY OR DISCLOSURE TO THE OTHER OR THE OTHER’S REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY DOCUMENTATION OR OTHER INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING.

9.10 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, 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 hereto. 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.

9.11 Remedies.

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) Specific Performance.

(i) The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree, subject to Section 8.4(e) and Section 9.11(b)(ii), that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Company, on the one hand, or Newco and Merger Sub, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Company, on the one hand, and Newco and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other under this Agreement, and this right

shall include the right of the Company to cause Newco and Merger Sub to fully enforce (A) the terms of the Equity Commitment Letter against the Sponsors to the fullest extent permissible under this Section 9.11(b), the Equity Commitment Letter and Applicable Law, and (B) the terms of the Debt Commitment Letters against the Debt Financing Sources to the fullest extent permissible under the Debt Commitment Letters and Applicable Law, and to thereafter cause the Merger to be consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 9.11(b)(i), it is acknowledged and agreed that the right of the Company to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedy in connection with enforcing Newco’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded will be subject to the requirements that (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(b) have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing), (B) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded on the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.1 if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing, (C) Newco and Merger Sub shall have failed to consummate the Merger by the time the Closing was required by Section 2.1 to occur, and (D) the Company has irrevocably notified Newco in writing that (x) the Company is ready, willing and able to consummate the Merger, and (y) all conditions set forth in Section 2.2(c) have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing) or that it is willing to waive any unsatisfied conditions set forth in Section 2.2(c) and (E) if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, the Closing will occur. In no event will the Company be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Newco’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded 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 hereto hereby agree, subject to Section 8.4(e) and Section 9.11(b)(ii), not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by any party, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of any party under this Agreement. Any party hereto 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 hereto irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. The parties hereto further agree that (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 9.11(b), a party hereto shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement, the Financing Commitment Letters or the Funding Agreement (including monetary damages) in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 9.11(b) are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (y) nothing set forth in this Section 9.11(b) shall require any party hereto to institute any proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 9.11(b) prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article VIII (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any Legal Proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.11(b) or anything set forth in this Section 9.11(b) restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VIII or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement or the Funding Agreement that may be available then or thereafter. While the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance under this Section 9.11(b) and the payment of the Company Termination Fee under Section 8.4(a), under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both (i) a grant of specific performance that permits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) monetary

damages in connection with this Agreement or any termination of this Agreement, including all or any portion of the Company Termination Fee.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if prior to the Termination Date any party initiates a Legal Proceeding to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, then the Termination Date will be automatically extended by (A) the amount of time during which such Legal Proceeding is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days, or (B) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Legal Proceeding.

9.12 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable conflicts of law principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims and actions that may be based upon, arise out of, or relate to, the Debt Financing or involve the Debt Financing Sources shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

9.13 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in such other manner as may be permitted by Applicable Law, and nothing in this Section 9.13 shall 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 action or proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept or does not have jurisdiction over a particular matter, any other state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in the event any dispute or controversy arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger), or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof; (c) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (d) agrees that any actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept or does not have jurisdiction over a particular matter, any other state or federal court within the State of Delaware); (e) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (f) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of Newco, Merger Sub and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding in such courts as provided above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and without in any way limiting Section 7.3(k) of this Agreement, each party to this Agreement acknowledges and irrevocably agrees that any action or proceeding, whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity or otherwise, against any Debt Financing Source arising out of, or relating to, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Debt Financing) shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the Borough of Manhattan (and the appellate courts thereof) and each party to this Agreement submits for itself and its property with respect to any such action or proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court and agrees not to bring any

such action or proceeding in any other court. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 9.14 of this Agreement relating to the waiver of jury trial also applies to this Section 9.13.

9.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF NEWCO, THE COMPANY AND MERGER SUB HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE DEBT FINANCING) OR THE ACTIONS OF NEWCO, THE COMPANY OR MERGER SUB IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

9.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic signature), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
