Defined terms used herein have the meanings set forth in Section 9.14.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Parent desires to acquire the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, in furtherance thereof and pursuant to this Agreement, Merger Sub has agreed to commence a tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted under this Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase any and all of the outstanding shares of the common stock, par value $0.0017 per share, of the Company, including all associated rights under the Rights Agreement (the “Company Common Stock”), at a price per share of Company Common Stock of $10.00 (such amount or any different amount per share that may be paid pursuant to the Offer being hereinafter referred to as the “Offer Price”) net to the seller in cash, without interest, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, following the consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company with the Company surviving that merger (the “Merger”) and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, in accordance with Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock, other than (i) shares of Company Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company and (ii) the Dissenting Shares, shall be converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the Merger Consideration;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, unanimously (a) determined that the Offer, the Merger, the Support Agreements and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (collectively, the “Transactions”) are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (b) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Transactions, and (c) resolved to recommend that the Company’s stockholders accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer;

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of Parent and Merger Sub have, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, unanimously approved this Agreement and the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Merger shall be governed and effected under Section 251(h) of the DGCL;

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to the willingness of the Company to enter into this Agreement, ADVA Optical Networking SA, a public company registered in Germany is entering into a Guarantee whereby it unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Company the payment and discharge in full by Parent and Merger Sub of the amounts required to be paid by Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to Section 1.1 and Article III of this Agreement if and when due; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Offer and the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Offer and the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE OFFER

Section 1.1 The Offer.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement (but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter (subject to the Company having timely complied with its obligations pursuant to this Article I)), Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”)) the Offer.

(b) The obligation of Merger Sub to (and of Parent to cause Merger Sub to) accept for payment and pay for any shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to: (i) there being validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn immediately prior to any then scheduled Expiration Time that number of shares of Company Common Stock which, together with the shares beneficially owned by Parent or Merger Sub (if any), represents at least a majority of the Company Common Stock then outstanding (determined on a fully diluted basis (which assumes conversion or exercise of all options and other convertible or derivative securities regardless of the conversion or exercise price, the vesting schedule or other terms and conditions thereof), and excluding shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received,” as such term is defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL, by the depositary for the Offer pursuant to such procedures) (the “Minimum Condition”); and (ii) the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the other conditions and requirements set forth in Exhibit A (together with the Minimum Condition, the “Offer Conditions”).

(c) The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that describes the terms and conditions of the Offer as set forth in this Agreement, including the Offer Conditions. The Offer Conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right to waive, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition in their sole and absolute discretion at any time and from time to time, including to increase the Offer Price and to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that unless otherwise provided by this Agreement or as previously approved in writing by the Company, Merger Sub shall not (i) reduce the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Offer, (ii) reduce the Offer Price, (iii) change, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, (iv) add to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A or modify or change any Offer Condition in a manner adverse in any material respect to any stockholders of the Company, (v) except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.1, extend or otherwise change the expiration date of the Offer, (vi) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer or (vii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the terms of the Offer in a manner adverse in any material respect to any stockholders of the Company.

(d) The Offer shall expire at midnight (New York time) at the end of the date that is twenty (20) Business Days (determined in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) following the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer (the “Initial Expiration Time”) or, in the event the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Time, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, is referred to as the “Expiration Time”).

(e) Merger Sub (i) shall extend the Offer for any period required by applicable Law, any interpretation or position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the staff thereof or the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) applicable to the Offer and (ii) shall (subject to Parent’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII), in the event that the Offer Conditions are not satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder) as of any Expiration Time, extend the Offer for successive extension periods of at least two (2) but not more than ten (10) Business Days per extension (or any longer period as may be approved in advance by the Company, but otherwise with the length of any such extension to be determined by Parent in its sole and absolute discretion) in order to allow additional time for the Offer Conditions to be satisfied; provided, however, that in no event shall Merger Sub be required to extend the Offer (A) beyond the first Business Day immediately prior to the January 2, 2018 (the “End Date”), (B) at any time that Parent or Merger Sub is permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, (C) following the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII or (D) beyond the fortieth (40th) Business Day following the Initial Expiration Time if, as of such time, each of the Offer Conditions set forth on Exhibit A is satisfied or has been waived but the Minimum Condition is not satisfied at such time.

(f) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and subject to the prior satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the other Offer Conditions, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, accept and pay for (subject to any withholding of tax pursuant to Section 3.6) all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as

soon as practicable after the Expiration Time (as it may be extended and re-extended in accordance with this Section 1.1), provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, Merger Sub shall not accept for payment or pay for any shares of Company Common Stock if, as a result, Merger Sub would acquire less than the number of shares of Company Common Stock necessary to satisfy the Minimum Condition. Closing of the Offer and acceptance for payment of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to and subject to the Offer Conditions upon the Expiration Time is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing”, and the date on which the Offer Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing Date”. Nothing contained in this Section 1.1 shall affect any termination rights in Article VIII.

(g) Merger Sub shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Time without the prior written consent of the Company, except in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub, or this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII, prior to the acceptance for payment of the Company Common Stock tendered in the Offer, Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, all tendered Company Common Stock to the registered holders thereof.

(h) On the date of the commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO shall include, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase and a form of letter of transmittal and summary advertisement (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”). The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Merger Sub all information concerning the Company required by the Exchange Act or other applicable Law to be set forth in the Offer Documents or as may be reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion in the Offer Documents. Parent and Merger Sub agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the stockholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. Parent and Merger Sub further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the stockholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the Company upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Offer Documents, and shall promptly provide the Company with copies of all correspondence between them and their representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (including any amendments or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the stockholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents or response, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments.

(i) Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub, on a timely basis, the funds necessary to pay for any shares of Company Common Stock that Merger Sub becomes obligated to accept for payment, and pay for, pursuant to the Offer.

Section 1.2 Company Actions.

On the date the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC, the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall (i) reflect the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, contain the Company Board Recommendation; (iii) contain and constitute notice to holders of shares of Company Common Stock informing such holders of their rights of appraisal in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with, and containing such other information required by, Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL, (iv) include the Fairness Opinion, (v) include a summary of the financial analyses conducted by the Company Financial Advisor and (vi) include disclosure of the compensation, if any, paid to the Company Financial Advisor by the Company and any of their respective Affiliates, during the two year period prior to the date of this Agreement. The Company agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be prepared and filed with the SEC and disseminated to the stockholders of the Company, in each case concurrently with the filing and dissemination of the Offer Documents and in accordance with the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. The Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the stockholders of the Company, in each case as promptly as practicable and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Company shall promptly notify Parent and Merger Sub upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Schedule 14D-9, and shall promptly provide Parent and Merger Sub with copies of all such comments and all correspondence between it and its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. Prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendments or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the stockholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, the Company shall provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9 or response, as applicable, and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation contained in the Schedule 14D-9.

(b) In connection with the Offer, and from time to time as requested by Parent or its Representatives, the Company shall promptly (and no later than the date hereof) furnish or cause to be furnished (including causing its transfer agent to furnish) to Parent and Merger Sub mailing labels, security position listings and any other available listings or computer files containing the names and addresses of the record holders or beneficial owners of the shares of

Company Common Stock as of the most recent practicable date, and shall promptly furnish Parent and Merger Sub with such information and assistance (including lists of record holders or beneficial owners of the shares of Company Common Stock, updated from time to time upon Parent’s, Merger Sub’s or either of their respective agent’s request, and the addresses, mailing labels and lists of security positions of such record holders or beneficial owners) as Parent, Merger Sub or its agent may reasonably request for the purpose of communicating the Offer to the record holders and beneficial owners of the shares of Company Common Stock.

(c) The Company shall register (and shall cause its transfer agent to register) the transfer of shares of Company Common Stock accepted for payment by Merger Sub effective immediately after the Offer Closing.

The Merger shall be governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL and shall be effected as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer.

Section 2.2 Closing. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxx Lovells US LLP, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (or remotely by electronic exchange of documents) at 10:00 a.m. (local time) as soon as practicable after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), or such other date, time or place as is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

Section 2.3 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing the parties hereto shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger, duly executed and acknowledged in accordance with, and in such form as is required by, the relevant provisions of the DGCL with respect to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”). The Merger shall become effective upon the acceptance of the Certificate of Merger by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the time at which the Merger becomes effective is herein referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Section 2.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth herein and in the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, from and after the Effective Time, all the properties, 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.

Section 2.5 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, (a) the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended so as to read in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit B, and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof or as provided by applicable Law (subject to Section 6.8), and (b) the by-laws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation or as provided by applicable Law (subject to Section 6.8).

Section 2.6 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) The directors and officers of Merger Sub, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors and officers, respectively, of the Surviving Corporation until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) The Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent at the Closing evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent of (i) the resignation from office as a director and/or officer of the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company of those individuals specified by Parent prior to the Effective Time and, in each case, effective at the Effective Time (which resignation shall also contain a release of liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries reasonably satisfactory to Parent), and (ii) the taking of all such actions (including the adoption of any necessary resolutions by the Board of Directors) as may be necessary to effect as of the Effective Time the actions set forth in Section 2.6. The Company and Parent agree that any such resignation as an officer does not in and of itself terminate any employment relationship of any such individual with the Company, and does not affect the Company’s obligations with regard to such individual pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 6.8 and 6.11.

ARTICLE III

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

Section 3.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock, any other securities of the Company or any shares of capital stock or other securities of Merger Sub or, except as expressly set forth herein, on the part of the Company or Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Any shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 3.1(b) and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted automatically into, and shall thereafter represent the right to receive, subject to Section 3.4, an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price without interest (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”).

(d) Cancellation of Shares. As of the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist; and the holders immediately prior to the Effective Time of non-certificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”), and the holders of certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”), shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Book-Entry Share or Certificate in accordance with Section 3.2, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding Taxes.

Section 3.2 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company, reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration and enter into an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company with the Exchange Agent relating to the services to be performed by the Exchange Agent. Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, the aggregate Merger Consideration required to be paid at Closing with the Exchange Agent prior to or promptly following the Effective Time. The Merger Consideration so deposited with the Exchange Agent shall, pending its disbursement to the holders, immediately prior to the Effective Time, of Company Common Stock, be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that no such investment income or gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of shares of Company Common Stock. Any interest and other income from such investments shall become part of the funds held by the Exchange Agent for purposes of paying the Merger Consideration, subject to Section 3.2(e). No investment by the Exchange Agent of the Merger Consideration shall relieve Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent from making the payments required by this Article III and Parent shall promptly replace any funds deposited with the Exchange Agent lost through any investment made pursuant to this Section 3.2(a). No investment by the Exchange Agent of the Merger Consideration shall have maturities that could reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement. Following the Effective Time, Parent agrees to reasonably promptly make available to the Exchange Agent,

from time to time as needed, any additional cash to pay the Merger Consideration, to the extent required by this Article III. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses of the Exchange Agent in connection with the exchange of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration.

(b) Payment Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Common Stock (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the shares of Company Common Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates representing such shares of Company Common Stock or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal, and shall be in such form and have such other customary provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree and shall be prepared prior to Closing) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, receipt of a satisfactory “agent’s message” in customary form by the Exchange Agent or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request (it being understood that the holders of Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed to have surrendered such Company Common Stock upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions (and such other customary documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent), the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, subject to any required withholding Taxes, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof, without interest, for each share of Company Common Stock surrendered, and any Certificates surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If payment of such Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (A) the Person requesting such exchange present proper evidence of transfer or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of such Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof as contemplated by this Article III, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding Taxes.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The applicable Merger Consideration paid in respect of shares of Company Common Stock upon the surrender for exchange in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock and, at the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding

immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that evidenced ownership of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. Subject to Section 3.2(e), if, after the Effective Time, Certificates are validly presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Exchange Agent, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Exchange Agent or Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond and/or the providing by such Person of an indemnity, in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will pay (less any applicable withholding Taxes and without interest thereon), in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article III.

(e) Termination of Fund. At any time immediately following the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to, upon demand, deliver to it any funds or other property (including all interest received and the other proceeds of any investments with respect thereto) that had been made available to the Exchange Agent and which have not been disbursed in accordance with this Article III, and thereafter Persons entitled to receive payment pursuant to this Article III shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the payment of any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon surrender of any Company Common Stock held by such holders, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case without any interest thereon and subject to any applicable withholding Taxes, upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, in each case, subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.5 in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent, the Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person for any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 3.3 Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, any then outstanding option to acquire shares of Company Common Stock granted under a Company Stock Plan (an “Option”) whether or not then otherwise vested or exercisable, shall be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder of such Option (the “Optionholder”) to receive from the Surviving Corporation a cash amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock then still covered by the Option multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock under such Option, without any interest thereon and subject to all applicable withholding; provided that if the exercise price per share under any such Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Option shall be canceled immediately prior to the Effective Time without any payment or other consideration being made or owed in respect thereof.

(b) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then outstanding share of restricted stock issued pursuant to a Company Stock Plan (“Company Restricted Stock Award”) shall become fully vested and shall participate in the Merger on the same basis as any other outstanding share of Company Common Stock.

(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to the Company or the Surviving Corporation all funds necessary to fulfill the payment obligations under this Section 3.3. All payments required under this Section 3.3 shall be made as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date and shall be processed through the Company’s payroll.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board and the compensation committee of such board, as applicable, shall adopt such resolutions and take such other actions as are necessary to effectuate the provisions of clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.3 and to validly terminate, as of the Effective Time, all Company Stock Plans.

Section 3.4 Adjustments. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur as a result of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period, or any similar transaction or any transaction having the effect of any of the foregoing, in each case, in accordance with the prior written consent of Parent, the Merger Consideration and any other similarly dependent items shall be equitably adjusted to provide Parent and the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.4 shall be deemed to permit or authorize any party hereto to effect any such change that it is not otherwise authorized or permitted to undertake pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 3.5 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time which are held by a stockholder who (a) is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to and (b) complies in all respects with, the provisions

of Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Stockholders”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock (the “Dissenting Shares”), but instead such Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such Dissenting Stockholder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively waived, withdrawn or lost rights to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively waived, withdrawn or lost such rights to appraisal, or if appraisal rights are unavailable to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL in connection with the Transactions, such Dissenting Stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration payable in respect of each such share of Company Common Stock, in accordance with Section 3.1, without any interest thereon and less any applicable withholding Taxes, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such shares or transfer of such Book-Entry Shares, as the case may be. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct, in each case at its own expense, all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, prior to the Effective Time the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 3.6 Withholding Taxes. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to the Offer, the Merger or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, payments under Section 3.3 with respect to outstanding equity compensation awards) such amounts as may be required to be withheld from such payments under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), or under any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Law related to Taxes. To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 4.3 Authority; Noncontravention.

(a) The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions. No vote of the holders of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock is required to approve and adopt this Agreement or the Merger. The execution and delivery of and performance by the Company under this Agreement, and the consummation of the Transactions, have been duly authorized and unanimously approved by the Company Board and no other corporate action on the part of the Company is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of and performance by the Company under this Agreement and the consummation by it of the Transactions. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability (i) may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws of general application affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).

(b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, nor the consummation by the Company of the Transactions, nor compliance by the Company with any of the terms or provisions hereof, will (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company Charter Documents, (ii) assuming that each of the consents, authorizations, waiting periods or terminations, and approvals referred to in Section 4.4 are obtained if required by applicable Laws (and any condition precedent to any such consent, authorization, waiting period or termination, or approval has been satisfied) and each of the filings referred to in Section 4.4 are made and any applicable waiting periods referred to therein have expired, violate any Law or Order applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) result in any breach of, or constitute a default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any Contract to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party, or result in the creation of a Lien, other than any Permitted Lien, upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,

other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), as would not reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(c) The Company Board, by resolutions duly adopted by unanimous vote at a meeting of all directors of the Company duly called and held and, as of the date hereof, not subsequently rescinded or modified in any way, has, (i) determined that this Agreement and the Transactions are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company’s stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Transactions in accordance with the DGCL, (iii) resolved to recommend that Company stockholders accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer (collectively, the “Company Board Recommendation”), (iv) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.10 and 5.11, taken all actions necessary so that the restrictions on business combinations and stockholder vote requirements contained in Section 203 of the DGCL will not apply with respect to or as a result of the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement, the Support Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and (v) properly elected that this Agreement and the Transactions be expressly governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL. No provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (A) requires a vote of the stockholders of the Company to approve the Offer, this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) prohibits the Company and Parent from completing the Merger pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. Absent Section 251(h) of the DGCL, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding would be the only vote of the holders of Company Common Stock necessary to adopt this Agreement and approve the other Transactions under the DGCL, the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and the affirmative vote of the holders of a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the number of shares required to be tendered in the aggregate to satisfy the Minimum Condition would satisfy such requirement. Immediately prior to the Company’s execution of this Agreement, the shares of Company Common Stock are listed on a national securities exchange or are held of record by more than 2,000 holders.

Section 4.4 Governmental Approvals. No consents or approvals of, notices to, or filings, declarations or registrations with, any Governmental Authority are necessary for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions, except for (a) the filing with the SEC in accordance with the Exchange Act of (i) the Schedule 14D-9 and (ii) such other filings as may be required in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions under the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of NASDAQ, (b) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the DGCL and (c) such other consents, approvals, filings, declarations or registrations the failure of which to obtain or make would not be, or reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 4.5 Company SEC Documents; Undisclosed Liabilities.

(a) The Company has filed with or furnished to the SEC, on a timely basis, all periodic reports and proxy statements required to be filed or furnished since January 1, 2014 (collectively, and in each case including all notes, exhibits and schedules thereto and documents

incorporated by reference therein, as such reports and proxy statements may have been amended since the date of their filing, the “Company SEC Documents”). As of their respective filing dates, or in the case of amendments, as of the most recent such amendment, the Company SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, applicable to such Company SEC Documents, and none of the Company SEC Documents as of such respective dates (or, if amended, the date of the filing of such amendment, with respect to the disclosures that are amended) contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a 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.

Since January 1, 2014, subject to any applicable grace periods, the Company has been and is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and the applicable rules and regulations of NASDAQ, except for any such noncompliance that would not have, or reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such material information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. The Company’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and such assessment concluded that such controls were effective. The Company has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation of

such disclosure controls and procedures prior to the date of this Agreement, to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the Company Board (i) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that could adversely affect in any material respect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The Company has made available to Parent all such disclosures made by management to the Company’s auditors and audit committee since January 1, 2014. For purposes of this Section 4.5(c), the terms “significant deficiency” and “material weakness” shall have the meaning assigned to them in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard 2, as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

Section 4.6 Absence of Certain Changes. Between December 31, 2016 through the date of this Agreement, (a) except in connection with the Transactions and the strategic review and sale process leading up to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries has been conducted in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (b) there has not been any (i) change, event, occurrence, fact, circumstance, development or effect that, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Company Material Adverse Effect or (ii) action that, if taken

Section 4.7 Legal Proceedings. There is no pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, Legal Proceeding against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their assets) that (i) is, or would reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or (ii) challenges the validity or propriety, or seeks to prevent, materially impair or materially delay the Offer or the consummation of the Merger or any other Transaction, nor is there any Order imposed upon or applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their assets).

Each Company Plan that is intended to be tax qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is covered by a current favorable determination or opinion letter from the IRS and, to the Company’s Knowledge, no circumstance exists that would be reasonably expected to result in the revocation of any such determination or opinion letter.

employee, director or other service provider to any payment from the Company or a Subsidiary that would be nondeductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code.

From the date hereof until the earlier of the Offer Closing or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and employees not to, and shall not authorize or permit any of its or its Subsidiaries other Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any Takeover Proposal or the making or consummation thereof or the making of any inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Takeover Proposal, (ii) enter into, engage in or otherwise participate in any discussions (except to notify such Person of the existence of the provisions of this Section 6.3) or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public information in connection with, any Takeover Proposal, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by, any third party that is seeking to make, or has made, any Takeover Proposal, (iii) approve or recommend, or make any public statement approving or recommending, a Takeover Proposal, (iv) enter into any letter of intent, merger agreement or other agreement providing for a Takeover Proposal, (v) submit any Takeover Proposal to a vote of the stockholders of the Company, (vi) amend 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, (vii) approve any transaction under, or any third party becoming an “interested stockholder” under, Section 203 of the DGCL or (viii) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, and shall cause its and their Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any data room access (or other diligence access) of, any Person and its Representatives with respect to a Takeover Proposal, and use reasonable best efforts to obtain the return from all such Persons or cause the destruction of all copies of nonpublic information previously provided to such parties by the Company, its Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any action taken by any Subsidiary of the Company or any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that, if taken by the Company, would be a violation of this Section 6.3, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.3 by the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 6.3(a), if at any time on or after the date hereof and prior to the Offer Closing, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective Representatives, receives an unsolicited, bona-fide written Takeover Proposal from any Person or group of Persons, which Takeover Proposal did not result from a breach of this Section 6.3, the Company, the Company Board (or a duly authorized

committee thereof) and their Representatives may engage in negotiations and discussions with, and furnish any information and other access to, any Person making such Takeover Proposal and any of its Representatives or potential sources of financing but, in each case, only if the Company Board (or duly authorized committee thereof) first determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors, that such Takeover Proposal is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and that not taking such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that prior to furnishing any material non-public information to any such Person, the Company receives from the Person making such Takeover Proposal an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement. The Company will notify Parent in writing (i) promptly (but in no event more than 48 hours) of the receipt of any such Takeover Proposal, or of any inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to, or any request for non-public information in connection with, a Takeover Proposal and will communicate the material terms of any such Takeover Proposal inquiry, offer or proposal (including the identity of the Person making such Takeover Proposal inquiry, offer or proposal) to Parent and will keep Parent reasonably apprised of the status of any such Takeover Proposal (including a change in the price or any material terms or scope thereof) and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days prior to taking any of the actions described in the preceding sentence and at least three (3) Business Days prior to the convening of any meeting of the Company Board (or any committee thereof) to consider any Takeover Proposal or taking any such action. The Company shall promptly provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries that is provided to such Person (to the extent such information was not previously provided to Parent or its Representatives).

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company and the Company Board shall not (i) (A) fail to make, withdraw, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation, (B) approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, to the stockholders of the Company a Takeover Proposal or Superior Proposal, (C) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 or any amendment thereof when disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, (D) fail to reject and recommend against any Takeover Proposal or any tender offer or exchange offer for Company Common Stock (including, for these purposes, by taking no position with respect to the acceptance by the stockholders of the Company of a tender offer or exchange offer, which shall constitute a failure to reject such Takeover Proposal) within ten (10) Business Days after the making public thereof, or failing to publicly reconfirm the Company Board Recommendation within two (2) Business Days after any request from Parent to do so, (E) make any public statement inconsistent with the Board Recommendation or (F) resolve or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (any of the foregoing actions being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”), (ii) authorize the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, merger, acquisition or similar agreement with respect to any Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) or (iii) resolve or agree to change or modify the election that this Agreement and the Merger be governed pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.3, the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to either (x) a Superior Proposal or (y) an Intervening

Event (and, solely with respect to a Superior Proposal, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii)), if:

(i) the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (after taking into account all adjustments to the terms of this Agreement that may be offered by Parent pursuant to this Section 6.3(d)); and

(ii) solely with respect to a Superior Proposal: (A) the Company provides Parent prior written notice of its intent to make any Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii), together with a copy of the acquisition agreement (and any other relevant transaction documents) with respect to such Superior Proposal, if any, at least five (5) Business Days prior to taking such action, to the effect that the Company Board has received a Superior Proposal and, absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company Board has resolved to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii), which notice shall include the identity of the Person making such inquiry, proposal or request and specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or termination, including the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) (it being understood that such Notice of Superior Proposal shall not in itself be deemed a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and that any material revision or amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notice and, in such case, a new five (5) Business Day notice period), (B) during such five (5) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company shall have made its Representatives reasonably available to discuss with Parent’s Representatives, and shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent and its Representatives (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate), any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Takeover Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal, (C) Parent has not, within such five (5) Business Day period, made a written, binding and irrevocable offer capable of being accepted by the Company to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement such that such Takeover Proposal, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors (and taking into account any adjustment or modification of the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent), would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal and (D) the Company Board, after taking into account any modifications to the terms of this Agreement and the Transactions agreed to by Parent and Merger Sub after receipt of such notice, continues to believe that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; and

(iii) solely with respect to any Intervening Event: (A) at least five (5) Business Days before making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Intervening Event, the Company notifies Parent in writing of its intention to do so, specifies the reasons therefor and provides a reasonably detailed description of such Intervening Event; and (B) if Parent makes a written, binding and irrevocable offer capable of being accepted by the Company during such five (5) Business Day period to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement, the Company Board, after taking into

consideration the adjusted terms and conditions of this Agreement as proposed by Parent, continues to determine in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors (and taking into account any adjustment or modification of the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent)) that the failure to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with applicable Law, (iii) informing any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 6.3 or (iv) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the stockholders of the Company). No disclosures under this Section 6.3(e) shall be, in themselves, a breach of this Section 6.3 or a basis for Parent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII; provided, that any such disclosure pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above shall be deemed to be a Company Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly publicly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation (x) in such communication or (y) within two (2) Business Days after requested to do so by Parent.

(f) As used in this Agreement, “Takeover Proposal” shall mean any bona fide inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub and any of its Affiliates thereof) or “group” (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) to purchase or otherwise acquire, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (i) assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including securities of Subsidiaries, but excluding sales of assets in the ordinary course of business) that account for 20% or more of the Company’s consolidated assets (based on the fair market value thereof) or from which 20% or more of the Company’s revenues or earnings on a consolidated basis are derived, (ii) 20% or more of the outstanding Company Common Stock pursuant to a merger, consolidation, amalgamation or other business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, tender offer, exchange offer, share exchange, share repurchase reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, extraordinary dividend, or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) any direct or indirect acquisition or transaction, including any tender offer or exchange offer which, if consummated would result in the stockholders of the Company immediately preceding such transaction holding less than 80% of the equity in the Company or the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction immediately following such transaction, or any combination of the foregoing.

(g) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written Takeover Proposal that did not arise from a breach of this Section 6.3, made by a third party, which Takeover Proposal on terms which the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors, to be more favorable to the holders of Company Common Stock (including from a financial point of view) than the Transactions (after taking into account

any revisions to this Agreement set forth in any written, binding and irrevocable offer by Parent capable of being accepted by the Company), taking into account, to the extent applicable, the legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal and this Agreement that the Company Board considers relevant including taking into account at the time of such determination (i) any changes to the terms of this Agreement that as of that time had been proposed by Parent in writing and (ii) the ability and timing of the Person making such proposal to consummate the transactions contemplated by such proposal (based upon, among other things, the availability of financing and the expectation and timing of obtaining required approvals); provided, for purposes of the definition of Superior Proposal, clause (ii) of the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be disregarded unless any such action described in such clause (ii) would result in the consequences described in clause (iii) of the definition of Takeover Proposal; provided that for purposes of the definition of Superior Proposal, the references to “20% or more” in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50% or more”, and references to “less than 80%” shall be deemed to be references to “50% or less”.

(h) As used in this Agreement, “Intervening Event” shall mean a material event, development or change in circumstance that was not actually known, or reasonable foreseeable, to the Company Board prior to the execution of this Agreement, which material event, development or change in circumstance becomes known to the Company Board prior to the Offer Closing; provided, that in no event shall any of the following constitute an Intervening Event: (A) the receipt, existence or terms of a Takeover Proposal; (B) any matter relating thereto or consequence thereof or (C) any fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances that resulted from or arose out of the announcement, pendency or consummation of the Offer or the Merger.

Section 6.4 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Transactions to be consummated as soon as practicable, (ii) make promptly any required submissions and filings, if any, under applicable Antitrust Laws with respect to the Transactions, (iii) promptly furnish information required in connection with such submissions and filing, if any, under such Antitrust Laws, (iv) keep the other parties reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such submissions and filings, if any, under Antitrust Laws, including with respect to, (A) the receipt of any non-action, action, clearance, consent, approval or waiver, (B) the expiration or termination of any waiting period, (C) the commencement or proposed or threatened commencement of any investigation, litigation or administrative or judicial action or proceeding under Antitrust Laws and (D) the nature and status of any objections raised or proposed or threatened to be raised under Antitrust Laws with respect to the Transactions and (v) make all necessary notices to and obtain all actions or non-actions, approvals, consents, waivers, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority or third party necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event on or prior to the End Date). For purposes hereof, “Antitrust Laws” shall mean the Xxxxxxx Antitrust Act of 1890, as amended, the Xxxxxxx Act of 1914, as amended, the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and all other applicable Laws issued by a Governmental Authority that are designed or intended to prohibit,

restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening of competition through merger or acquisition.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party agrees to (A) supply as soon as reasonably practical any additional information and documentary material that may be required or requested by any Governmental Authority and (B) use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all other actions consistent with this Section 6.4 as necessary to obtain any necessary approvals, consents, waivers, permits, authorizations or other actions or non-actions from each Governmental Authority as soon as practicable.

(c) The Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall, (i) reasonably promptly notify the other parties hereto of, and if in writing, furnish the others with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the others of the contents of) any communication to such Person from a Governmental Authority and permit the others to review and discuss in advance (and to consider in good faith any comments made by the others in relation to) any proposed written communication to a Governmental Authority, (ii) keep the others reasonably informed on a timely basis of any developments, meetings or discussions with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning the Transactions and (iii) not independently participate in any meeting or discussions with a Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning the Transactions without giving the other party prior notice of such meeting or discussions and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend or participate. However, each of Parent and the Company may designate any non-public information provided to any Governmental Authority as restricted to “Outside Antitrust Counsel” only and any such information shall not be shared with employees, officers or directors or their equivalents of the other party without approval of the party providing the non-public information.

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take steps necessary to avoid, eliminate or resolve each and every impediment and obtain all clearances, consents, approvals and waivers under Antitrust Laws that may be required by any Governmental Authority, so as to enable the parties hereto to close the Transactions as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the End Date).

(e) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that any litigation or other administrative or judicial action or proceeding is commenced, threatened or is foreseeable challenging any of the Transactions and such litigation, action or proceeding seeks, or would reasonably be expected to seek, to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions, the parties hereto shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to avoid or resolve any such litigation, action or proceeding and each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate with each other in good faith and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such litigation, action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the End Date.

Section 6.5 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company. Following such initial press release, Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review, comment upon and approve, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Transactions and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and written approval of the other parties hereto (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such party may reasonably conclude in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that is required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system (and then only after as much advance notice and consultation as is feasible); provided, however, that the right of the other parties hereto to approve any such press release or public statements as set forth in this Section 6.5 shall not apply to any release or public statement made or proposed to be made by the Company in connection with a Company Adverse Recommendation Change made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or by Parent in response thereto); and provided, further, that the foregoing shall not limit the ability of any party hereto to, without such consultation or consent, make any public statement regarding the Transactions in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, make internal announcements to employees and make disclosures in Company SEC Reports, so long as in each case such statements are consistent with, and do not contain any information not contained in, previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the parties hereto (or individually, if approved by the other party) in compliance with the terms hereof.

Section 6.6 Access to Information; Confidentiality. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, from the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the Company’s properties, books, Contracts, records, consultants, officers and employees and the Company shall furnish promptly to Parent such information concerning its business and properties as Parent may reasonably request; provided that Parent and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide such access or information to Parent if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment following consultation with outside counsel, that doing so would violate applicable Law or would jeopardize the protection of the attorney-client privilege, or expose the Company to risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive personal information. In the event that the Company does not provide access or information in reliance on the preceding sentence, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate the applicable information to Parent in a way that would not violate the applicable Law, including by providing such information in redacted form as necessary to comply with such Law or otherwise make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements to the extent possible. Until the Effective Time, the information provided will be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2016, between Parent (or one of its Affiliates) and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), and, to the extent provided in the Confidentiality Agreement, Parent shall not, and Parent shall cause its Representatives not to, use such information for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 6.7 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of the Company and Parent shall give prompt written notice to the other party if any of the following occur after the date of this Agreement: (i) receipt of any notice or other communication in writing from any Person alleging that the consent or approval of such third party is or may be required in connection with the Transactions; (ii) receipt of any notice or other material communication in writing from any Governmental Authority or NASDAQ in connection with the Transactions; or (iii) such party becoming aware of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event that would reasonably be expected to materially prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions or that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to (A) the Offer set forth on Exhibit A or (B) the Merger set forth in Article VII not being satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall not limit, expand or otherwise affect any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the parties hereto or the remedies available to the party hereunder receiving such notice or the conditions to such party’s obligations to consummate the Transactions, and no information delivered pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall update any section of the Company Disclosure Letter.

Section 6.8 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless each current and former director, and officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any actual or threatened claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) (each, a “Claim”), whenever asserted, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission relating to their position with the Company or its Subsidiaries occurring or alleged to have occurred before or at the Effective Time (including any Claim relating in whole or in part to the Agreement or the Transactions), to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and (ii) assume, honor and fulfill in all respects all obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of limitation of liability, exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses as provided in the Company Charter Documents and the respective organizational documents of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries as currently in effect as of the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, at the Effective Time for a period of not less than six (6) years immediately following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, or Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, and the organizational documents of each Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation, to include comparable provisions for limitation of liabilities of directors and officers, indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of the Indemnitees no less favorable in the aggregate to the Indemnitees than as set forth in the Company Charter Documents or such Subsidiary’s organizational documents in effect on the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would materially adversely affect the rights thereunder in the aggregate of the Indemnitees except as required by applicable Law.

(b) For a period of not less than six (6) years immediately following the Effective Time, to the extent required by the Company Charter Documents, applicable

organizational documents of Subsidiaries of the Company or applicable indemnification agreements, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay and advance to an Indemnitee any expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any Claim relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 6.8 as and when incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, such payment or advance to be made within thirty (30) days after receipt by Parent of a written request therefor; provided that the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such expenses (but only to the extent required by applicable Law, the Company Charter Documents, applicable organizational documents of Subsidiaries of the Company or applicable indemnification agreements and which advances and undertaking shall be unsecured and interest free). Any determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnitee’s conduct complies with an applicable standard under applicable Law, the Company Charter Documents, applicable organizational documents of Subsidiaries of the Company, or applicable indemnification agreements, as the case may be, shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by Parent.

(c) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect the coverage provided by the policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance in effect as of the date hereof maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time either through the Company’s existing insurance provider or another provider reasonably selected by Parent; provided, however, that, after the Effective Time, Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverages required to be obtained pursuant hereto (which amounts are set forth, and identified by policy name, policy number and the amount of coverage and annual premium, on Section 6.8(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter), but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount; and provided, further, that in lieu of the foregoing insurance coverage, the Company may purchase “tail” insurance coverage, at a cost no greater than the aggregate amount which the Surviving Corporation would be required to spend during the six—year period provided for in this Section 6.8(c), that provides coverage no materially less favorable in the aggregate than the coverage described above.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.8 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for or limitation of, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by Contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.8 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 6.8 applies unless (A) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (B) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 6.8 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.8).

(e) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers

or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 6.8.

Section 6.9 Transaction Litigation. Each party hereto shall keep the other parties hereto reasonably informed, in writing on a reasonably current basis, of, and cooperate with the other parties hereto in connection with, any litigation or claim (each a “Transaction Litigation”) against any party hereto and/or its directors, officers or employees relating to the Transactions; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require any party hereto to take any action if it may result in a waiver of any attorney/client or any other similar privilege. The Company shall cooperate with Parent in connection with, and shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of, any such litigation and shall consult with counsel of the Company regarding the defense or settlement of any Transaction Litigation, and no settlement in connection with any such litigation shall be agreed to prior to the Effective Time without Parent’s prior written consent.

Section 6.10 Section 16. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act any dispositions of shares of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such shares) that are treated as dispositions under such rule and result from the Transactions by each director or officer of the Company who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company.

Section 6.11 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of at least one (1) year following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each Company Employee who is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and not subject to a collective bargaining agreement, (A) cash compensation (including base salary, base wages, commissions, and cash incentive compensation opportunities) that is at least equal to the cash compensation provided to such Company Employee as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (B) employee benefits (excluding equity compensation, defined benefit pension benefits and any change of control or transaction related payments or benefits) that, in each case, are substantially no less favorable in the aggregate than what is provided or made available to, or otherwise in effect with respect to, such Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time. In addition, (i) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall provide or shall cause to be provided to each Company Employee whose employment terminates during the one (1) year period following the Effective Time with severance benefits at levels and on terms substantially no less favorable than such Company Employee would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of the Company’s severance policies as set forth on Section 6.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and (ii) such severance benefits shall be determined taking into account the service crediting provisions set forth in Section 6.11(b).

(b) For all purposes (including vesting, eligibility to participate and level of severance and other benefits based upon credited service, but not for purposes of defined benefit pension plan accrual) under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing

welfare, retirement, severance and vacation or paid-time off benefits to any Company Employee after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her period of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to any New Plans that are “employee welfare benefit plans” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans if and to the extent coverage under such New Plan is replacing comparable coverage under a Company Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing any group coverage, all pre-existing condition and other limitations, exclusions and requirements of such New Plan shall be waived for, or deemed satisfied by such Company Employee and his or her covered spouse and dependents, to the extent permitted under such New Plan and such limitations, exclusions or requirements were satisfied, no longer applicable or waived under the comparable Old Plans prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) any eligible expenses paid or incurred by any Company Employee and his or her covered spouse and dependents during the portion of the plan year of an Old Plan ending on the date such Company Employee’s participation in a corresponding New Plan begins shall be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company Employee and his or her covered spouse and dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid or incurred under the New Plan.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor all obligations binding on the Company and its Subsidiaries under any employment, retention, transaction bonus, separation, change in control or other similar agreement or arrangement made by the Company with or for the benefit of any employee in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately before the Effective Time that are set forth on Section 6.11(c) Company Disclosure Letter.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.11 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Company Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) or any other person shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 6.11 shall create such rights in any such Persons. Nothing herein shall (i) guarantee employment for any period of time or preclude the ability of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to terminate the employment of any Company Employee at any time and for any reason or no reason, or (ii) require Parent or any Surviving Corporation to continue any Company Plans, New Plans or other employee benefit plans or arrangements or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time.

(b) by either of the Company or Parent:

(i) if (x) the Offer shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms or (y) the Offer Closing shall not have been consummated on or before 11:59 pm on the End Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to a party if the failure of the Offer Closing to have been consummated on or before the End Date was primarily due to the failure of such party to timely perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(i) if, prior to the Offer Closing, the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Exhibit A clause (b) or (c), respectively, and (B) cannot be cured by the Company by the End Date or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of written notice thereof from Parent; provided that Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)(i) if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement hereunder which would give the Company the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i);

(d) by the Company:

(i) if, prior to the Offer Closing, Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) is incapable of being cured by the End Date, or if curable, has not been cured within thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of written notice thereof from the Company and (ii) would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation when required by Parent or Merger Sub of the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d)(i) if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement hereunder which would give the Company the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(i); or

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the payment of the Termination Fee is not a penalty and shall be deemed to be liquidated damages but not the sole or exclusive remedy for any losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination thereof), the Transactions (and the abandonment thereof), except for any losses or damages suffered or incurred with respect to the matter forming the basis for such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, payment of the Termination Fee by or on behalf of the Company shall not be considered an exclusive remedy and shall not prejudice or limit any of Parent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, applicable Law or principles of equity or otherwise.

(g) Any amount that becomes payable pursuant to Section 8.3(a) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in Section 8.3(f) of the Parent Disclosure Letter and shall be reduced by any amounts required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Law in respect of Taxes.
