(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 10.01 and none of the events set forth in paragraph (c) of Annex I hereto shall exist or have occurred and be continuing (other than in the case of paragraph (c)(vi) and, with respect to paragraph (c)(iv), only with respect to covenants and obligations that the Company is required to comply with or to perform prior to such time), as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, but in no event later than 15 Business Days following the date of this Agreement, the Investor shall commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer. The Offer shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Annex I hereto (the “Offer Conditions”). The date on which the Investor commences the Offer is referred to as the “Offer Commencement Date.”

(b) The Investor expressly reserves the right to waive any of the Offer Conditions and to make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer; provided that the Investor’s right to waive any Offer Condition is subject to the last paragraph of Annex I hereto; and provided, further, that, without the prior written consent of the Company, the Investor shall not:

(i) decrease the Offer Price;

(ii) change the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer;

(iii) change the Maximum Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer;

(iv) extend or otherwise change the Expiration Time of the Offer except as provided herein;

(v) impose conditions to the Offer other than the Offer Conditions;

(vi) change the Minimum Condition; or

(vii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the terms or conditions of the Offer in a manner that adversely affects the holders of Shares.

(c) Unless extended as provided in this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at midnight, New York City time, on the date that is 20 business days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) after the Offer Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor shall extend the Offer (i) for one or more consecutive increments of not more than ten Business Days from time to time if, at the then-scheduled expiration time of the Offer, any of the Offer Conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived; provided that the Investor shall not be required to extend the Offer pursuant to this clause (i) beyond the earlier of (A) the End Date and (B) the date that is 10 days after the date that all of the Offer Conditions (other than the Minimum Condition and those that by their nature are to be satisfied immediately prior to the Acceptance Time) have been satisfied and (ii) for any period required by (x) any applicable rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof or (y) the rules and regulations of NASDAQ or Applicable Law. The time when the Offer expires (taking into account any permitted or required extensions in accordance with this Section 2.01(c)) is referred to herein as the “Expiration Time.” The Investor shall not terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to the then-scheduled expiration time of the Offer unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms.

(e) If and to the extent that a number of Shares in excess of the Maximum Shares are validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, then, in accordance with Section 14(d)(6) of the Exchange Act, the number of Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn by each tendering holder of Shares shall be deemed decreased on a pro rata basis based on the number of Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn by each tendering stockholder (with fractional Shares rounded to the nearest whole Share) such that the aggregate number of Shares accepted for payment, and paid for, by the Investor in the Offer shall be equal to the Maximum Shares. The parties acknowledge and agree that if such proration is necessary, the Investor shall determine the final proration factor promptly (and in any event within three Business Days) after the expiration of the period during which stockholders may satisfy Shares tendered into the Offer pursuant to a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (such period to expire three NASDAQ Global Select Market trading days after the Offer Closing Date).

The Investor and its agents shall hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listings and files in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and, if this Agreement is terminated, shall return or destroy all copies and any extracts or summaries of such information then in their possession or control; provided that the Investor and each of its agents may each retain one copy of any such information to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law.

Any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.02 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.02 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company hereunder.

Section 7.03. Company Stockholder Meeting.

(a) The Company shall cause a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) to be duly called and held as soon as reasonably practicable after the SEC or its staff advises that it has no further comments on the Company Proxy Statement or that the Company may commence mailing of the Company Proxy Statement for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval and shall comply with all Applicable Law with respect to such meeting and the solicitation of proxies in connection therewith. The Company shall cause the Company Proxy Statement to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company as of the record date established for the Company Stockholders Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter.

(b) Subject to Section 7.04(b), the Company Board shall make the Company Board Recommendation and not effect an Adverse Recommendation Change.

(c) Any adjournment, delay or postponement of the Company Stockholder Meeting shall require the prior written consent of the Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall be permitted to adjourn, delay or postpone the Company Stockholder Meeting (i) with the consent of the Investor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), once for a period not to exceed 30 calendar days (but prior to the date that is two Business Days prior to the End Date), for the absence of a quorum and/or to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval or (ii) after consultation with the Investor, solely to the extent necessary to ensure that any legally required supplement or amendment to the Company Proxy Statement is provided to the stockholders of the Company with adequate time to review. The Investor may require the Company to adjourn, delay or postpone the Company Stockholder Meeting once for a period not to exceed 30 calendar days (but prior to the date that is two Business Days prior to the End Date) for the absence of a quorum and/or to solicit additional proxies necessary to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval. Once the Company has established a record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Company Stockholders Meeting without the prior written consent of the Investor, unless required to do so by Applicable Law. Without the prior written consent of the Investor, the proposals in respect of the Company Stockholder Approval shall be the only matters (other than matters of procedure and matters required by Applicable Law to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders in connection therewith) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

Section 7.04. No Solicitation; Other Offers.

Prior to the Closing, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries authorize or permit any of its or their officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, consultants or other agents or advisors (“Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or take any action to knowingly assist, facilitate or encourage the submission of any Acquisition Proposal; (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by any Third Party that has made, is seeking to make or would be reasonably expected to make an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) fail to make, withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to the Investor the Company Board Recommendation (or recommend an Acquisition Proposal or make any public statement (or statement to any of its stockholders (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, to a director of the Company in his capacity as such)) inconsistent with the Company Board Recommendation (including publicly proposing to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation)) (any of the foregoing in this clause (iii), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”); (iv) fail to enforce, or grant any waiver or release under, any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (v) approve any transaction under, or any Person becoming an “interested stockholder” under, Section 203 of Delaware Law; or (vi) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar instrument relating to an Acquisition Proposal (any such agreement, an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”). It is agreed that any violation of the restrictions on the Company set forth in this Section 7.04 by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be a breach of this Section 7.04 by the Company.

(b) Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 7.04(a), at any time prior to the Acceptance Time:

(i) the Company, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, (A) provided that the Company has complied with Section 7.04(a), may engage in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party and its Representatives that has made after the date of this Agreement a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board reasonably believes is or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) may furnish to such Third Party or its Representatives non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be provided for informational purposes only to the Investor) with such Third Party with terms in all material respects no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and other terms necessary to permit the Company to comply with its obligations to the Investor pursuant to this Section 7.04; provided that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to the Investor) is provided or made available to the Investor, as the case may be, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party;

(ii) subject to compliance with Section 7.04(d), if the Company has received a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.01(d)(i) in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for such Superior Proposal on the terms disclosed to the Investor pursuant to Section 7.04(d); and

(iii) subject to compliance with Section 7.04(d), the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a material event, change or development in circumstances arising after the date hereof that was neither known by nor reasonably foreseeable to the Company Board as of or prior to the date hereof and does not involve or relate to an Acquisition Proposal (an “Intervening Event”);

in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), only if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, provided that the Company has complied with Section 7.04(a), the Company and its Representatives may (x) following the receipt of an Acquisition Proposal from a Third Party, contact such Third Party solely to clarify the terms and conditions of an Acquisition Proposal made by such Third Party so as to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal is or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal or (y) direct any such Third Party to this Agreement, including the specific provisions of this Section 7.04.

In addition, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company Board from complying with Rule 14d-9 (including Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act) or Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided that (i) any such action taken or statement made shall be subject to and only taken in compliance with this Section 7.04 and (ii) any such action taken or statement made that relates to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such statement or in connection with such action; provided, further, that it is understood and agreed that any factually accurate public statement by the Company that merely describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto and contains a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change.

(c) Required Notices. None of the Company Board, the Company, any Subsidiaries of the Company or any of their respective Representatives shall take any of the actions referred to in Section 7.04(b) unless the Company shall have delivered to the Investor a prior written notice advising the Investor that it intends to take such action, and, after taking any such action, the Company shall continue to advise the Investor on a reasonably current basis of the status and material terms of any discussions and negotiations with the Third Party. In addition, the Company shall notify the Investor promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal, any indication that a Third Party is considering making an Acquisition Proposal or any request for information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that has made, is seeking to make or would reasonably be expected to make an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall provide such notice orally and in writing and shall identify the Third Party making, and the material terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request. The Company shall keep the Investor reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis, of the status and material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request, and shall promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours after receipt) provide to the Investor copies of all correspondence and written materials sent or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that describes any material terms or conditions of any Acquisition Proposal (as well as written summaries of any material oral communications addressing such matters). Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the Company’s compliance with this Section 7.04(c).

(d) “Last Look.” Further, the Company Board shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 7.04(b)(ii) or Section 7.04(b)(iii) (or, in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change to be made following receipt of a Superior Proposal pursuant to Section 7.04(b)(ii), terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i) in order to enter into a definitive agreement in respect thereof), unless: (i) the Company promptly provides written notice to the Investor at least four Business Days before taking such action of its intention to do so (such four Business Day period, the “Negotiation Period”), (ii) (A) in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change to be made following receipt of a Superior Proposal pursuant to Section 7.04(b)(ii), such notice specifies in reasonable detail the basis for the Adverse Recommendation Change and attaches the most current version of the proposed agreement under which such Superior Proposal is proposed to be consummated and the identity of the Third Party making the Superior Proposal or (B) in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change to be made in response to an Intervening Event pursuant to Section 7.04(b)(iii), such notice includes a reasonably detailed description of the underlying facts giving rise to, and the reasons for taking, such Adverse Recommendation Change and (iii) during the Negotiation Period, the Company negotiates, and causes its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with the Investor and its Representatives with respect to any proposed changes by the Investor to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and, if applicable, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or with respect to other proposals made by the Investor) and (iv) the Investor does not make, prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the final day of the Negotiation Period, an offer that (A) in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change to be made following receipt of a Superior Proposal pursuant to Section 7.04(b)(ii), is at least as favorable to the stockholders of the Company as such Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Acquisition Proposal shall require a new written notification from the Company and a new three-Business Day period under this Section 7.04(d), which shall also be deemed to be a “Negotiation Period” under this Section 7.04(d)) or (B) in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change to be made in response to an Intervening Event pursuant to Section 7.04(b)(iii), eliminates the basis for such Adverse Recommendation Change under Section 7.04(b).

(e) Definition of Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal for at least a majority of the outstanding Shares or a majority of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on terms that the Company Board determines in good faith by a majority vote, after considering the advice of an outside financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel and taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal, including any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions, conditions to consummation and likelihood of satisfying all such conditions, are more favorable to the Company’s stockholders than as provided hereunder (taking into account any proposal by the Investor to amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.04(d)), which the Company Board determines is reasonably likely to be consummated and for which financing, if a cash transaction (whether in whole or in part), is then fully committed by reputable financing sources or reasonably determined to be available by the Company Board. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the Company Board may determine in good faith in accordance with the above that an Acquisition Proposal to acquire 100% of the outstanding Shares or consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a per share price (or aggregate consideration that equates to a per share price) less than the Offer Price constitutes a Superior Proposal (it being understood that any such Acquisition Proposal shall be subject to Section 7.01(d)).

(f) Obligation of the Company to Terminate Existing Discussions. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party and its Representatives with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such Third Party (together with its Representatives) that has executed a confidentiality agreement within the 24-month period prior to the date hereof and that is in possession of confidential information heretofore furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the consideration of an Acquisition Proposal (and all analyses and other materials prepared by or on behalf of such Person that contain, reflect or analyze that information) to return or destroy all such information as promptly as practicable. The Company represents and warrants to the Investor that, during the 24-month period prior to the date hereof, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries has granted any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 7.05. Stock Exchange Listing. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Issuance Shares to be issued at the Closing pursuant to Article 3 hereof to be listed on NASDAQ at such time of issuance, subject to official notice of issuance.

Section 7.06. Compensation Arrangements. Prior to the Closing, the Company (acting through its Compensation Committee) will take all steps that may be necessary or advisable to cause each Compensation Arrangement that has not previously been subject to the Compensation Arrangement Approvals described in Section 5.18(i) to be approved by the Compensation Committee (comprised solely of “independent directors” determined in the manner described in the last sentence of Section 5.18(i)) as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act and to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) of the Exchange Act.

Section 7.07. Takeover Statutes. The Company shall: (a) take all actions necessary so that no “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium” or other antitakeover or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to the transactions contemplated or permitted by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and (b) if any such antitakeover or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to the transactions contemplated or permitted by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, take all actions necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable and otherwise to take all such other actions as are reasonably necessary to eliminate or minimize to the greatest extent possible the effects of any such statute or regulation on such transactions.

Section 7.08. Stockholder Litigation. From and after the date hereof, the Company shall promptly advise the Investor orally and in writing of any Proceedings (including derivative claims) commenced or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company and/or its directors or executive officers relating to this Agreement, the Offer, the Issuance, the Company Charter Amendment and/or the other transactions contemplated hereby or the other Transaction Documents and shall keep the Investor promptly and reasonably informed regarding any such Proceeding. The Company shall give the Investor the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such Proceeding and shall give due consideration to the Investor’s views with respect thereto. The Company shall not agree to any settlement of any such Proceeding without the Investor’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 7.09. Stop Orders. The Company shall take all actions necessary to impose stop orders to prevent the Transfer of any Subject Shares (as defined in the Tender and Support Agreements) in violation of the Tender and Support Agreements.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the foregoing sentences, if notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given in accordance with this Article 11 to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be deemed Affiliates of the Investor, and the Investor shall not be deemed an Affiliate of the Company and its Subsidiaries for purposes of this Article 11.

The parties acknowledge and agree that the settlement of any Proceeding of the type described in Section 7.08 that includes disclosure by the Company shall not in and of itself evidence an inaccuracy, misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.09.

Section 11.03. Limitations on Indemnification by the Company. With respect to indemnification by the Company for Warranty Breaches under Section 11.02(a), except in respect of breaches of Fundamental Representations and for claims for fraud or intentional misrepresentation:

(b) the Investor’s maximum aggregate liability will be limited to $100,000,000.

Section 11.06. Other Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Damages otherwise indemnifiable under this Article 11 shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds actually recovered by an Indemnified Party in respect of such Damages (net of costs of collection, deductibles and retro-premium adjustments). Damages shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Damages constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

Section 11.07. Third Party Claim Procedures.

(a) The party seeking indemnification under Section 11.02 or 11.04 (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt notice in writing to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Proceeding by any third party (excluding, in the case of the Investor Indemnified Parties, any such Proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates) (a “Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such Section. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 11.07(b) and Section 11.07(c), shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each case at its own expense; provided that prior to assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must acknowledge that it would have an indemnity obligation for the Damages resulting from such Third Party Claim as provided under this Article 11.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) the Indemnifying Party does not deliver the acknowledgment referred to in Section 11.07(b) within 30 days of receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 11.07(a), (ii) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation involving the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) the Third Party Claim relates to Taxes of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iv) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim would be detrimental in any material respect to the reputation or future business prospects of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (v) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (vi) the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend vigorously the Third Party Claim.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.07, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim; provided that consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required for any such settlement if (i) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (ii) such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Investor Indemnified Parties or the Company Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Third Party Claim and does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Investor Indemnified Parties or the Company Indemnified Parties, as the case may be. If the Indemnified Party shall control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.07, the Indemnified Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) In circumstances where the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party; provided that the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall constitute indemnifiable Damages hereunder (i) to the extent incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date that the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim or (ii) if the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that (A) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in the conduct of the defense of such claim or (B) there may be one or more defenses or claims available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party and that could be materially adverse to the Indemnifying Party; and provided further that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Third Party Claim, plus one firm of local counsel in each jurisdiction in which any such Third Party Claim is taking place. In the case of the foregoing clause (ii), the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed with respect to such Third Party Claim and cooperate with the Indemnified Party in connection therewith.

(f) Each party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith; provided that no party shall be required to disclose any such records or information that would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege, but such party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (1) develop an alternative to providing such records or information that is reasonably acceptable to the other party or (2) enter into a joint defense agreement or implement such other techniques if the parties determine that doing so would permit the disclosure of such records or information without violating such attorney-client privilege.

Section 11.08. Direct Claim Procedures. In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 11.02 or Section 11.04 against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice in writing of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing within 30 days following the receipt of a notice with respect to any such claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its indemnity obligation to the Indemnified Party for any Damages with respect to such claim, such Damages shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to prompt payment of all Damages arising out of such claim to the extent provided in this Article 11. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its indemnity obligation for any Damages with respect to such claim, the parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of jurisdiction determined pursuant to Section 12.07.

Section 11.09. Exclusive Remedy. Without limiting any claims arising out of the other Transaction Documents, after the Closing, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including Section 12.03 and Section 12.12) or with respect to claims for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or intentional misconduct, the sole and exclusive recourse for any Damages or claim for Damages under this Agreement shall be the indemnity set forth in this Article 11.

Section 11.10. Purchase Price Adjustment. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any amount paid under Article 11 will be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price in the Issuance.

Section 12.02. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided that (i) after the Acceptance Time, (x) no amendment shall be made that decreases the Offer Price and (y) any agreement by the Company to such amendment or waiver shall require the approval of a majority of the directors then in office who were not designated to the Company Board by the Investor, and (ii) there shall be no amendment or waiver that would require the approval of the stockholders of the Company under Applicable Law without such approval having first been obtained.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

Section 12.03. Expenses.

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

(b) Termination Fee.

(i) If this Agreement is terminated (A) by the Investor pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(i) or Section 10.01(c)(ii) or (B) by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), then in each case the Company shall pay to Investor in immediately available funds $30,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”), in the case of a termination by the Investor, within one Business Day after such termination and, in the case of a termination by the Company, immediately before and as a condition to the effectiveness of such termination.

(ii) If (A) this Agreement is terminated by the Investor or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) or Section 10.01(b)(iii), or by the Investor pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(iii), (B) after the date of this Agreement and (x) prior to such termination (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) or Section 10.01(c)(iii)) or (y) prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(iii)), an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or otherwise communicated to the Company Board and not unconditionally withdrawn (and, if such Acquisition Proposal was publicly announced, publicly and unconditionally withdrawn) and (C) within 12 months following the date of such termination, the Company (x) enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, (y) recommends an Acquisition Proposal to its stockholders or (z) consummates an Acquisition Proposal, then the Company shall pay to the Investor in immediately available funds, concurrently with the occurrence of the applicable event described in clause (C), the Termination Fee. Solely for purposes of this Section 12.03(b)(ii), an “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any transaction described in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” in Section 1.01 of this Agreement except that all references to “15%” therein shall be deemed to be references to “35%”.

(c) Other Costs and Expenses. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 12.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the Investor would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to pay any amount due to the Investor pursuant to this Section 12.03, it shall also pay any costs and expenses incurred by the Investor and its Affiliates in connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment against the Company for such amount, together with interest on the amount of any unpaid fee, cost or expense at the higher of the publicly announced prime rate of Citibank, N.A. and the maximum legal interest rate then-applicable pursuant to Title 6, Chapter 23, § 2301 of the Delaware Code, in either case from the date such fee, cost or expense was required to be paid to (but excluding) the payment date. In the event that the Investor shall receive full payment pursuant to this Section 12.03, without limiting the Investor’s rights in the case of fraud or intentional misconduct, the receipt of the Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all damages or losses suffered or incurred by the Investor or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the termination hereof (or any matter forming the basis for such termination), and neither the Investor nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to bring any Proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates for damages or any equitable relief arising therefrom. For the avoidance of doubt, any payment made by the Company pursuant to this Section 12.03 shall be payable only once and not in duplication even though such payment may be payable under one or more provisions of Section 12.03.

Section 12.04. Disclosure Schedule and SEC Document References.

(a) The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of either the Company Disclosure Schedule shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (i) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (ii) other than with respect to any reference in Section 5.21 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, any other representations and warranties of such party that are contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such other representations and warranties would be readily apparent to a reasonable person who has read that reference and such representations and warranties, without any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter(s) so disclosed.

(b) The parties hereto agree that any information contained in any part of any Company SEC Document described in the first sentence of Article 5 shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) the representations and warranties of the Company if the relevance of that information as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties would be readily apparent to a reasonable person who has read that information concurrently with such representations and warranties, without any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter(s) so disclosed; provided that in no event shall any information contained in any part of any such Company SEC Document entitled “Risk Factors” or containing a description or explanation of “Forward-Looking Statements” or any other statements that are predictive, cautionary or forward-looking in nature, be deemed to be an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) any representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement.

Section 12.05. Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as set forth in Article 11, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto, except that the Investor may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its Affiliates at any time; provided that such transfer or assignment shall not relieve the Investor of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other party hereto or due to the Investor or prejudice the rights of tendering stockholders to receive payment for Shares validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer.

Section 12.06. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims and causes of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

Section 12.07. Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether brought by any party or any of its Affiliates or against any party or any of its Affiliates) shall be brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or other Delaware state court, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Proceeding in any such court or that any such Proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such Proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 12.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 12.08. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 12.09. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 12.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 12.11. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 12.12. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.01, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in the courts referred to in Section 12.07, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
