The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

- 2 -

Section 1.4 Effects of the Merger. The effects of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation, all as provided under the DGCL.

Section 1.5 Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law and the applicable provisions of such certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

Section 1.6 Officers and Directors of the Surviving Corporation. Subject to applicable Law, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal.

ARTICLE II.

CONVERSION OF SHARES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any of the Parties or the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock or common stock of Merger Sub:

(i) Conversion of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.1(b) and less any applicable withholding Tax, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Cancelled Shares, any Converted Shares, any Dissenting Shares and any shares subject to a Company Restricted Stock Award) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive the following consideration (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”), without interest: (A) $46.00 in cash (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii), the “Cash Consideration”) and (B) a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii)) (the “Stock Consideration”). From and after the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock (including all uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) and each certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”))

- 3 -

shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each applicable holder of such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration (including the right to receive, pursuant to Section 2.1(d), the Fractional Share Cash Amount and dividends pursuant to Section 2.2(e), if any) upon the surrender of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2, together with the amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e).

(ii) Adjustments. If the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger (including all shares of Parent Common Stock which may be issued after the Effective Time pursuant to Adjusted RSU Awards or Adjusted Restricted Stock Awards) would exceed 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Maximum Share Number”), (A) the Exchange Ratio shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary (rounded down to the nearest one thousandth) such that the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger (including all shares of Parent Common Stock which may be issued after the Effective Time pursuant to Adjusted RSU Awards and Adjusted Restricted Stock Awards) does not exceed the Maximum Share Number (such reduction, the “Exchange Ratio Reduction Amount”) and (B) the Cash Consideration for all purposes under this Agreement will be increased on a per share basis by an amount equal to the Parent Signing Trading Price multiplied by the difference between the initial Exchange Ratio and the Exchange Ratio as determined in accordance with this Section 2.1(a)(ii) (rounded down to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.1(a)(iii) shall be deemed to limit or impair any right of Parent to invoke the failure of any condition set forth in Article VI of this Agreement, or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement if Parent would otherwise have such right under Article VI or Article VII, respectively.

(iii) Cancellation of Company Common Stock; Certain Subsidiary Owned Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned or held in treasury by the Company and each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned by Parent or Merger Sub shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist (the “Cancelled Shares”), and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or Parent (other than Merger Sub) (the “Converted Shares”) shall be converted into such number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation such that each such Subsidiary’s ownership percentage in the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time is the same as such Subsidiary’s ownership percentage in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (after taking into account the conversion of Merger Sub common stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iv)).

- 4 -

(iv) Treatment of Merger Sub Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub shall be automatically converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall (together with any Converted Shares converted into shares (or fractional shares) of common stock of the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii)) constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Shares of Dissenting Stockholders. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder of record who did not vote in favor of the approval and adoption of this Agreement (or consent thereto in writing) and is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“DGCL 262” and any such shares meeting the requirement of this sentence, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead at the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive payment of such amounts as are payable in accordance with DGCL 262 (it being understood and acknowledged that at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the fair market value of such Dissenting Shares to the extent afforded by DGCL 262); provided, however, that if any such holder (including any holder of Proposed Dissenting Shares) shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to payment of the fair market value of such Dissenting Shares under DGCL 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair market value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, without interest or duplication, the Merger Consideration. “Proposed Dissenting Shares” means shares of Company Common Stock whose holders provide demands for fair market value to the Company prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting and do not vote in favor of the approval and adoption of this Agreement, in each case in accordance with DGCL 262. The Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for fair market value of any Company Shares, of any withdrawals of such demands and of any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to DGCL 262 and any alleged dissenter’s rights, and Parent shall have the opportunity, at Parent’s expense, to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(c) Certain Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class of shares by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change; provided that nothing in this Section 2.1(c) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

- 5 -

(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be delivered upon the conversion of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i), and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock. In lieu of fractional shares, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive as a result of the Merger a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all shares represented by the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof and upon surrender thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount determined by multiplying (i) the Parent Closing Trading Price, rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent by (ii) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder at the Effective Time and rounded to the nearest one thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled (the “Fractional Share Cash Amount”). No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock that would otherwise have been issuable as part of the Merger Consideration.

Section 2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Appointment of Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint Parent’s transfer agent as exchange agent or another bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration in the Merger and shall enter into an agreement (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) relating to the Exchange Agent’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

(b) Deposit of Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration payable in the Merger and the Fractional Share Cash Amount (to the extent determinable) as is necessary for the payment to holders of Company Common Stock and shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent evidence of Parent Common Stock in book-entry form (and/or certificates representing such Parent Common Stock, at Parent’s election) representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Stock Consideration payable in the Merger to holders of Company Common Stock (but not with respect to shares subject to Company Restricted Stock Awards) (such cash, book-entry shares and certificates, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, the “Exchange Fund”). In the event that the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to pay the aggregate amount of all Cash Consideration and Fractional Share Cash Amounts (including as a result of any investment of the Exchange Fund), Parent shall promptly deposit additional funds with the Exchange Agent in an amount that is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to make, and the Exchange Agent shall make, delivery of the Cash Consideration and Fractional Share Amounts in accordance with this Agreement. The Exchange

- 6 -

Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as reasonably directed by Parent. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent upon demand.

(c) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within five Business Days, after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent shall reasonably designate (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration and the Fractional Share Cash Amount and any dividends or other distributions to which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.2(e).

(d) Surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Upon surrender of Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Exchange Agent, or any similar information from the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, such holder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration into which the shares represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement, together with the Fractional Share Cash Amount and any dividends or other distributions to which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.2(e). Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to pay such Merger Consideration and Fractional Share Cash Amount within five Business Days following the later to occur of (x) the Effective Time or (y) the Exchange Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. Any dividends or other distributions to which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.2(e) shall become payable in accordance with Section 2.2(e). In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer or stock records of the Company, any cash to be paid upon, or shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued upon, due surrender of the Certificate or Book-Entry Share formerly representing such shares of Company Common Stock shall be paid or issued, as the case may be, to such a transferee if such Certificate or Book-Entry Share is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent and Parent that any applicable stock transfer or other similar Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the Merger Consideration into which the shares represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement, together with the Fractional Share Cash Amount and any dividends or other distributions to which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.2(e).

- 7 -

(e) Treatment of Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions, if any, with a record date after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock, shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered share of Company Common Stock to be converted into shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) until such holder shall surrender such share in accordance with this Section 2.2. After the surrender in accordance with this Section 2.2 of a share of Company Common Stock to be converted into Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i), Parent shall cause the holder thereof to be paid, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock. After the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Company to pay on the applicable payment date the amount of dividends or other distributions on shares of Company Common Stock that have a record date prior to the Effective Time and a payment date after the Effective Time, such payment to be made to the holders of Company Common Stock on such record date.

(f) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The shares of Parent Common Stock delivered and cash paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II in respect of any shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been delivered and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock (subject to DGCL 262). From and after the Effective Time, (i) all holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the shares represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement upon the surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with Section 2.2(d) (together with the Fractional Share Cash Amount and any dividends or other distributions to which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.2(e)), without interest, and (ii) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent for any reason, such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, subject to applicable Law in the case of Dissenting Shares.

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest or other amounts received with respect thereto) that remains unclaimed by, or otherwise undistributed to, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon Parent’s demand, and any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall

- 8 -

thereafter look only to Parent or the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws), as general creditors thereof, for satisfaction of its claim for Merger Consideration and any dividends and distributions which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article II without any interest thereon.

(h) No Liability. None of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any portion of the Exchange Fund or the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official if required by any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, any portion of the Merger Consideration or the cash to be paid in accordance with this Article II that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares immediately prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration or such cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(i) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent (or, if subsequent to the termination of the Exchange Fund and subject to Section 2.2(g), Parent) shall deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration and any dividends and distributions deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.3 Company Equity Awards.

(a) Each restricted stock unit award in respect of shares of Company Common Stock granted under a Company Stock Plan or otherwise that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company RSU Award”) shall (i) if such Company RSU Award automatically becomes vested by its terms at the Effective Time, be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but no later than 10 Business Days thereafter), the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU Award, less applicable Tax withholding or (ii) if such Company RSU Award is not vested by its terms at the Effective Time, be converted as of the Effective Time into an adjusted award with the same terms and conditions (including vesting) as were applicable to the corresponding Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that: (x) if the Company RSU Award is not an Interim Award, such adjusted award shall be in the form of (A) an award representing an unfunded, unsecured promise of Parent to deliver to the holder thereof an amount in cash (an “Adjusted Cash Award”) equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the unvested Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (after taking into account any vesting acceleration that occurs at or prior to the Effective Time) and (2) the Cash Consideration, and (B) an award (an “Adjusted RSU Award”) of Parent restricted stock units relating to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded to the nearest whole number of shares) of (1) the number of shares

Section 4.12 Financing. Parent has delivered to the Company a correct and complete copy of the Commitment Letter and any related fee letters (which, with respect to any such fee letters, may be redacted for provisions related to fees, “flex” terms, economic terms, original issue discount amounts and other confidential terms, provided that no redaction (other than with respect to original issue discount amounts) covers terms that would adversely affect the aggregate amount, conditionality, availability or termination of the financing contemplated therein).

There are no conditions precedent related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing under the Commitment Letter that are not expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter. The Commitment Letter has not been amended or modified in any manner prior to the date of this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, the commitments contained in the Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect.

As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects and the performance of all obligations and compliance with all covenants and agreements required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with at or prior to the Closing by the Company in all material respects, Parent has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing under the Commitment Letter will not be satisfied on the Closing Date or that the Financing will not be made available to Parent on the Closing Date. Assuming the Financing is funded in accordance with the Commitment Letter, Parent will have at Closing all funds necessary to consummate the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby and pay the fees and expenses of Parent due on the Closing Date (including after giving effect to any original issue

- 44 -

discount amounts and the exercise of any “flex” rights with respect thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) in no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing by Parent or any of its Affiliates be a condition to any of Parent or Merger Sub’s obligations hereunder and (ii) it is understood and agreed that a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 4.12 shall not result in the failure of a condition precedent to the Company’s obligations under this Agreement if, notwithstanding such breach, Parent and Merger Sub are willing and able to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms hereof.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than forty-eight hours after, to the knowledge of the Company or its financial advisor, its receipt) notify Parent in writing in the event that the Company or any of its Representatives receives a Company Takeover Proposal or a request for information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries that is reasonably likely to lead to a Company Takeover Proposal, including the identity of the person making the Company Takeover Proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof (including an unredacted copy of such Company Takeover Proposal or, where such Company Takeover Proposal is not in writing, a description of the financial and other

- 52 -

material terms thereof). The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis, as to the status of (including any material developments related thereto) such Company Takeover Proposal, inquiry or request, shall promptly (and in any event within forty-eight hours) provide Parent with any draft agreements relating to such Company Takeover Proposal and shall promptly (and in any event within forty-eight hours) notify Parent of any material modifications to the financial or other material terms of any such Company Takeover Proposal, inquiry or request. The Company agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not enter into any agreement with any person subsequent to the date of this Agreement which prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with, or otherwise complying with, this Section 5.4.

(e) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.4(e), the Company Board of Directors shall not (i) (A) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus when disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, (B) change, qualify, withhold, withdraw or modify, or publicly propose or announce an intention to change, qualify, withhold, withdraw or modify, in either case, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation or (C) adopt, approve or recommend to stockholders of the Company, or publicly propose or announce its intention to adopt, approve or recommend to stockholders of the Company, a Company Takeover Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) authorize, cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement (including an acquisition agreement, merger agreement, joint venture agreement or other agreement), commitment or agreement in principle with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 5.4(c)) (a “Company Acquisition Agreement”). Anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement notwithstanding, prior to the time that the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, but not after, the Company Board of Directors may, with respect to a bona fide, unsolicited Company Takeover Proposal that did not result from a breach by the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Representatives of this Section 5.4, make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(g) (including paying the Company Termination Fee) in order to enter into a definitive agreement relating to such Company Superior Proposal if, and only if, prior to taking either such action the Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith after consultation with the Company’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel that such Company Takeover Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal; provided, however, that, prior to making such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(g), (A) the Company has given Parent at least four Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action and has provided to Parent the identity of the person making such Company Takeover Proposal, a copy of any proposed Company Acquisition Agreements constituting such Company Takeover Proposal, and a copy of any financing commitments relating thereto (or, in each case, if not provided in writing to the Company, a written summary of the material terms thereof), (B) following the end of such notice period, the Company Board of Directors shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent, and shall have determined, after consultation with the Company’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the Company Superior Proposal would nevertheless continue to constitute a

- 53 -

Company Superior Proposal if the revisions proposed by Parent were to be accepted by the Company and given effect, and (C) in the event of any change to any of the financial terms (including the form, amount and timing of payment of consideration) or any other change to the material terms of such Company Superior Proposal, the Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Parent an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (A) above of this proviso and a new notice period under clause (A) of this proviso shall commence (except that the four Business Day notice period referred to in clause (A) above of this proviso shall instead end at the later of (1) 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the second Business Day immediately following Parent’s receipt of such notice and (2) the end of the original notice period; during which time the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of clauses (B) and (C) above of this proviso. The actions of the Company Board of Directors in making a determination that a Company Takeover Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal and the Company’s authorizing and providing the notices to Parent required by this Section 5.4(e), if done in accordance with this Section 5.4(e), shall not in and of itself, constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, a violation of this Section 5.4 or a termination of this Agreement. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any Company Acquisition Agreement unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms.

(f) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, other than in connection with a Company Takeover Proposal, the Company may, at any time prior to, but not after, the date the Company Shareholder Approval has been obtained, make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Company Intervening Event if the Company has complied with its obligations under this Section 5.4 and prior to taking such action, the Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the members of the Company Board of Directors under applicable Law; provided, however, that prior to making such Company Adverse Recommendation Change, (i) the Company has given Parent at least four Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, and specifying the reasons therefor, including specifying in reasonable detail the applicable Company Intervening Event and (ii) following the end of such notice period, the Company Board of Directors shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent, and shall have determined, after consultation with the Company’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the members of the Company Board of Directors under applicable Law; provided, that the actions of the Company Board of Directors in making such determination and the Company’s authorizing and providing of such notice pursuant to this Section 5.4(f) shall not, if done in accordance with Section 5.4(f), in and of itself, constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, a violation of this Section 5.4 or a termination of this Agreement.

(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company (i) a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act pending disclosure of its position thereunder

- 54 -

or (ii) directing any person (or the representative of that person) that makes a Company Takeover Proposal to the provisions of this Section 5.4; provided that in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) no such action, position or disclosure that would amount to a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall be permitted, made or taken other than in compliance with Section 5.4(e).

(h) Any violation of the restrictions contained in this Section 5.4 by any of the Company’s Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.4 by the Company.

Section 5.5 Employee Matters.

(a) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to each employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries who continues to be employed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries following the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Employees”) for so long as such Company Employee remains employed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation during such period, (i) a base salary or base wage rate no less than that provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) a Target Cash Bonus Opportunity, with the actual amount of any Performance Bonus paid to such Company Employee to be determined by the business unit leader for the legacy Company business, subject to the review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) by the Parent Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer, or, if applicable, Target Commission Opportunity, (iii) a Target Equity Incentive Opportunity, (iv) continued eligibility (to the extent that such Company Employee was eligible immediately prior to the Effective Time) for the Company’s sabbatical program on the terms set forth on Section 5.5(a)-2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and (v) aggregate employee benefits (excluding benefits provided for in Section 5.5(a)(i)-(iv)) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to such Company Employee immediately prior the Effective Time; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Company Employees will be eligible to participate in the severance plan maintained by Parent with the material terms set forth on Section 5.5(a)-1 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Parent Severance Plan”) and (y) Parent may cause the Company Employees to commence participation in Parent’s 401(k) plan and/or Parent’s plans providing for medical, dental and vision insurance benefits, on terms that are the same as those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries, prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Time. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall honor, fulfill and assume all the obligations under the Company Benefit Plans set forth on Section 5.5(a)-2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, in accordance with their terms on the date hereof.

(b) Following the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause any employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by Parent or the Surviving Corporation or their Subsidiaries in which the Company Employees are eligible to participate following the Closing Date (collectively, the “Post-Closing Plans”) to recognize the service of each Company Employee with the Company and its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual under such Post-Closing Plans (including, but not limited to, the Parent Severance Plan), in each

- 55 -

case, to the same extent such service was recognized immediately prior to the Effective Time under a comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that such recognition of service shall not (i) apply for purposes of any defined benefit retirement plan or plan that provides retiree welfare benefits, (ii) operate to duplicate any benefits of a Company Employee with respect to the same period of service, or (iii) apply for purposes of any plan, program or arrangement (x) under which similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries do not receive credit for prior service or (y) that is grandfathered or frozen, either with respect to level of benefits or participation. With respect to any Post-Closing Plan that provides medical, dental or vision insurance benefits, for the plan year in which such Company Employee is first eligible to participate, Parent shall (A) cause any preexisting condition limitations or eligibility waiting periods under such plan to be waived with respect to such Company Employee to the extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under the Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) credit each Company Employee for an amount equal to any medical, dental or vision expenses incurred by such Company Employee in the plan year in which such Covered Employee is first eligible to participate in such Post-Closing Plan, for purposes of any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements under any such Post-Closing Plan to the extent such expenses would have been credited under the Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time. Such credited expenses shall also count toward any annual or lifetime limits, treatment or visit limits or similar limitations that apply under the terms of the applicable plan.

(c) If requested by Parent in writing delivered to the Company not less than ten Business Days before the anticipated Effective Time, the Company Board of Directors (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions and take such corporate action as is necessary to terminate the Company’s 401(k) plans (collectively, the “Company 401(k) Plan”), effective as of the day prior to the Effective Time. Following the Effective Time and as soon as practicable following receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS on the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, the assets thereof shall be distributed to the participants, and Parent shall, to the extent permitted by Parent’s applicable 401(k) plan (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”), permit the Company Employees who are then actively employed to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code, inclusive of loans to participants), in the form of cash (or in the case of loans, notes), in an amount equal to the full account balance distributed to such Company Employee from the Company 401(k) Plan to the Parent 401(k) Plan.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Company Employee or other service provider any right to continue in the employ or service of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Affiliate of Parent, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Company Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Company Benefit Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates; or (ii) alter or limit the

- 56 -

ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Company Benefit Plan or any other compensation or benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Closing Date. Without limiting the generality of Section 8.13 and any provision in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 5.5(d) shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any person other than the parties hereto, including any Company Employee or current or former service provider of the Company or its Affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

(e) Within five Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Time, the Company shall provide Parent with a correct and complete list of all Company Stock Awards outstanding as of the applicable date of delivery, specifying, on a holder-by-holder basis, (i) the name or identification number of each holder, (ii) the number of shares subject to each such Company Stock Award, (iii) the grant date of each such Company Stock Award, (iv) the vesting schedule of each such Company Stock Award (including, if applicable, any vesting as a result of the occurrence of the Closing, either alone or in combination with another event), and (v) the Company Stock Plan pursuant to which the Company Stock Award was granted.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all reasonable actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all reasonable things necessary, proper or advisable under any applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger, including (i) the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the Merger, (ii) the satisfaction of the conditions to consummating the Merger, (iii) taking all reasonable actions necessary to obtain (and cooperating with each other in obtaining) any consent, authorization, Order, waiting period expiration or approval of, or any exemption by, any third party, including any Governmental Entity (which actions shall include furnishing all information and documentary material required under the HSR Act and those jurisdictions set forth on Schedule 5.6(a) required to be obtained or made by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger or the taking of any action contemplated by this Agreement, and (iv) the execution and delivery of any reasonable additional instruments necessary to consummate Merger and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Additionally, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to not take any action after the date of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to materially delay the obtaining of, or result in not obtaining, any permission, approval or consent from any such Governmental Entity necessary to be obtained prior to the Closing.

(b) Parent and the Company shall each keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Merger and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required consents, authorizations, Orders, waiting period expirations or approvals of, or any exemptions by, any Governmental Entity undertaken pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.6. In that regard, prior to the Closing, each Party shall promptly consult with the other Parties to this Agreement with respect to and provide any necessary information and assistance as the other Parties may reasonably request with respect to (and, in the case of correspondence, provide the other Parties (or their counsel) copies of) all notices, submissions, or filings made by

- 57 -

such Party with any Governmental Entity or any other information supplied by such Party to, or correspondence with, a Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the Merger. Each Party to this Agreement shall (A) promptly inform the other Parties to this Agreement, and if in writing, furnish the other Parties with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the other Parties orally of) any communication from or to any Governmental Entity regarding the Merger, (B) permit the other Parties to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other Parties in connection with, any proposed communication with any such Governmental Entity, and (C) to the extent permitted by any applicable Governmental Entity, give the other Party a reasonable opportunity to attend and participate in any in-person meetings with such Governmental Entity regarding the Merger. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Parties agree that it is Parent’s primary right to devise and implement the strategy for all filings, notifications, submissions and communications in connection with any filing, notice, petition, statement, registration, submission of information, application or similar filing subject to this Section 5.6 after consulting with, and taking into account in good faith any comments of, the Company or its Representatives relating to such strategy. If any Party to this Agreement or any Representative of such Parties receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger, then such Party will use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, promptly and after consultation with the other Parties to this Agreement in good faith, an appropriate response in substantial compliance with such request. Each Party shall furnish the other Parties with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between it and any such Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement and the Merger, and furnish the other Parties with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other Parties may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of necessary filings or submissions of information to any such Governmental Entity; provided, however, that Parent and the Company may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 5.6 as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Parent or the Company, as the case may be) or its legal counsel. Anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.6 notwithstanding, materials provided pursuant to this Section 5.6 may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of Parent, the Company and the Merger and other confidential information, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns.

(c) The Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to file, as promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than 15 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, all notifications required under the HSR Act. In the event that the Parties receive a request for information or documentary material pursuant to the HSR Act (a “Second Request”), the Parties will use their respective reasonable best efforts to respond to such Second Request as promptly as practicable, and counsel for both Parties will closely cooperate during the entirety of any such Second Request review process. The Parties agree to use reasonable best efforts to supply as promptly as practicable and advisable any additional information and documentary material that may be required under any other Antitrust Law and to take all other actions necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under any other Antitrust Law prior to the Outside End Date.

- 58 -

(d) In the event that any litigation, claim, suit, action or proceeding is commenced challenging the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Law, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such litigation, claim, suit, action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order resulting therefrom, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement notwithstanding, Parent and Merger Sub agree to take any and all steps necessary to ensure the absence at the Outside End Date of any (x) requirement for any non-action, consent or approval of any state attorney general or other Governmental Entity, (y) Order in any suit or proceeding and (z) other matter relating to any Antitrust Law which would preclude consummation of the Merger by the Outside End Date, so as to enable the Parties to complete the Merger as promptly as practicable, including committing to or taking by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license, holding separate, or other disposition of or restriction on any assets, licenses, product lines, operations or businesses of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or accepting any operational restrictions or otherwise taking or committing to take actions that would, after the Effective Time, limit Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’ freedom of action with respect to any of the assets, licenses, product lines, operations or businesses of any of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided, that, anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement notwithstanding, Parent shall not be required to (i) sell, divest, exclusively license, hold separate, or otherwise dispose of, or (ii) grant any non-exclusive license, accept any operational restrictions or take or commit to take any actions which restrictions or actions would limit Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’ freedom of action with respect to, assets, licenses, product lines, operations or businesses of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries that individually or in the aggregate, generated total collective revenues in excess of $125 million in Parent’s or the Company’s fiscal year 2016, as applicable (the “Revenue Cap”), except that, in the case of clause (ii), the revenues of the asset, license, product line, operation or business impacted by such non-exclusive license, operational restriction or action, respectively, shall be considered in determining whether the Revenue Cap has been achieved only if: (A) such restrictions or actions would limit Parent’s or its Affiliate’s freedom of action after the Effective Time with respect to such impacted asset, product line, operation or business, respectively, of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries in a respect that is material to such impacted asset, product line, operation or business, respectively, of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries (it being understood that an obligation to continue selling or supporting a product in any jurisdiction shall not, in and of itself, be construed to be a material limitation, or (B) in the case of a non-exclusive license, the adverse effect of such non-exclusive license is non-de minimis with respect to the impacted asset, license, product line, operation or business, respectively of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement notwithstanding, Parent shall not be required to agree to or accept any obligation to permit any third party to invest (whether directly or indirectly, including via joint venture or similar arrangement) in Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

- 60 -

(b) If, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or Parent, should be set forth in an amendment of, or a supplement to, any of the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties, and the Company and Parent shall cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment of, or supplement to, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 and, to the extent required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to stockholders of the Company.

(c) The Company shall take, in accordance with applicable Law and the Company Organizational Documents, all action necessary to mail the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective by the SEC and to convene a meeting of the Company’s stockholders to consider the proposal to adopt this Agreement (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (including setting an appropriate record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting). The Company shall, through the Company Board of Directors, make the Company Recommendation, include such Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and solicit and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval, except, in each case, during such time as a valid Company Adverse Recommendation Change is in effect, and shall not submit any other proposal (other than, if the Company Stockholder Meeting is also the Company’s annual stockholder meeting, proposals customarily brought in connection with the Company’s annual stockholder meeting) to such holders in connection with the Company Stockholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.7(c) notwithstanding, the Company shall have the right, without the prior consent of Parent, to make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Company Stockholder Meeting (A) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus required under applicable Law is timely provided to the stockholders of the Company within a reasonable amount of time, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board of Directors (after consultation with its outside counsel), in advance of the Company Stockholder Meeting, (B) if required by applicable Law or a request from the SEC or its staff or (C) if, on a date for which the Company Stockholder Meeting is scheduled, the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present; provided that (1) the duration of any such adjournment or postponement shall be limited to the minimum duration reasonably necessary to remedy the circumstances giving rise to such adjournment or postponement: (2) no single such adjournment or postponement shall be for more than five Business Days except as may be required by federal securities Laws; and (3) in the case of clause (C), the Company Stockholder Meeting shall not be postponed to later than the date that is 20 Business Days after the date for which the Company

- 61 -

Stockholder Meeting was originally scheduled without the prior written consent of Parent. All other postponements or adjournments shall require the prior written consent of Parent. Nothing contained in this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, shall be deemed to relieve the Company of its obligations to submit this Agreement to its stockholders for a vote on the approval and adoption thereof.

Section 5.8 Takeover Statutes. The Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts (a) to take all action necessary so that no “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “supermajority,” “affiliate transactions” or “business combination statute or regulation” or other similar state anti-takeover Laws and regulations becomes applicable to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b) if any such Law may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise eliminate or minimize the effects of such Law on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.10 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) All rights to indemnification and exculpation from Liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and related advancement of expenses now existing in favor of any present and former director, officer and employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and each person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (collectively, together with their respective heirs, executors and administrators, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) as provided in the Company Organizational Documents (or Company Subsidiary Organizational Documents) or any indemnification agreements in existence as of the date hereof, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of such Company Indemnified Parties. The foregoing notwithstanding, if any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is made against any Company Indemnified Party with respect to matters subject to indemnification hereunder on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the rights to indemnification and exculpation from Liabilities and advancement of expenses referenced in the preceding sentence shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless each Company Indemnified Party against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, damages or Liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other fiduciary in any entity, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise at the request or for the benefit of the Company and pertaining to matters existing or occurring or actions or omissions taken prior to or at the Effective Time, including with respect to this Agreement and the Merger, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, also advance expenses to the Company Indemnified Parties as incurred to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law; provided that the Company Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a final and nonappealable judicial determination that such Company Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.10 or otherwise.

(c) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company (provided that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims arising from facts or events, or actions or omissions, which occurred or are alleged to have occurred at or before the

- 63 -

Effective Time; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to make annual premium payments for such insurance to the extent such premiums exceed 300% of the annual premiums paid as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance (the “Premium Cap”), and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Premium Cap, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance which, in the Surviving Corporation’s good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap. In lieu of the foregoing, Parent or the Company may obtain at or prior to the Effective Time a six-year prepaid “tail” policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence; provided that if the total cost for such prepaid “tail” policy exceeds the Premium Cap, then the Surviving Corporation may obtain a prepaid “tail” policy with the maximum coverage available for a total cost of the Premium Cap. If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(d) In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then proper provision shall be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.10.

(e) The rights of each Company Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Company Indemnified Party may have under the Company Organizational Documents (or Company Subsidiary Organizational Documents) or under applicable Law. The provisions of this Section 5.10 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives. In the event of any breach by the Surviving Corporation or Parent of this Section 5.10, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the Company Indemnified Parties in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.10 as such fees are incurred upon the written request of such Company Indemnified Party.

Section 5.11 Control of Operations. Without in any way limiting any Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that (a) nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or the Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the other Party’s operations prior to the Effective Time and (b) prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company and Parent shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its operations.

Section 5.12 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) or acquisitions of shares of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Parent Common Stock) resulting from the Merger by each individual who is subject to the

- 64 -

reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to Parent, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to obtain the Financing on or prior to the Closing Date in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration payable in the Merger and all fees and expenses of Parent due on the Closing Date, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter in accordance with its terms (provided that the Commitment Letter may be amended, supplemented, modified and replaced as set forth below and the commitment amounts may be reduced as set forth below), (ii) comply with its obligations under the Commitment Letter, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent to the funding of the Financing set forth in the Commitment Letter and within Parent’s control, (iv) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto no later than the Closing Date on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Commitment Letter (including, if necessary, any “flex” provisions) and (v) draw up to the full amount of the Financing and cause the Financing Sources party thereto to fund the Financing in accordance with its terms on the Closing Date in the event that the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 and the conditions precedent to the Financing have been satisfied or, upon funding would be satisfied, in each case to the extent the Financing is needed to consummate the Merger.

(b) Parent shall not, and shall not permit Merger Sub to, agree to or permit any amendment, replacement or other modification of, or waive any of its rights or remedies under, the Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements with respect thereto without the Company’s prior written consent; provided that Parent or Merger Sub may, without the Company’s prior written consent (x) enter into any amendment, replacement or other modification to or waiver of any provision of the Commitment Letter or any definitive agreement with respect thereto that (i) would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the Merger or make the timely funding of the Financing or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing materially less likely to occur, (ii) does not reduce the commitment amount of the Financing unless the aggregate amount of the Financing following such reduction, together with other financial resources available to Parent (including any amounts funded into an escrow account with release provisions no less favorable in any material respect to Parent than the conditions precedent set forth in the Commitment Letter), is sufficient to consummate the Merger or (iii) does not materially and adversely affect the ability of Parent or its Subsidiaries to enforce their rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letter or any definitive agreement with respect thereto; and (y) amend, replace or otherwise modify the Commitment Letter or any definitive agreement with respect thereto to add lenders, lead arrangers, book runners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement or to reassign titles to such parties who had executed the Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement. Parent shall furnish the Company with any such amendments, modifications or waivers to the Commitment Letter or definitive agreement with respect thereto (which may be redacted as provided in Section 4.12). Upon any such amendment, replacement or modification, the term “Commitment Letter” shall mean the Commitment Letter as so amended, replaced or modified.

- 65 -

(c) If funds in the amounts set forth in the Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements with respect thereto, as applicable, or any portion thereof, becomes unavailable, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, use its or their reasonable best efforts to obtain substitute financing sufficient, together with other financial resources available to Parent, to consummate the Merger (any such financing, a “Substitute Financing”). In the event any Substitute Financing is obtained, references in this Agreement to the Financing shall also be deemed to refer to such Substitute Financing, and references in this Agreement to the Commitment Letter and the definitive financing agreements with respect thereto shall also be deemed to refer to the Substitute Financing and the definitive financing agreements with respect thereto, and all obligations of Parent pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall be applicable thereto as to the same extent as Parent’s obligations with respect to the Financing.

(d) Parent shall have the right to reduce the commitments under the Commitment Letter (i) by the amount of the proceeds of consummated offerings or other incurrences of debt after the date of this Agreement; provided that (A) such debt does not mature prior to the Closing Date and (B) to the extent such debt has a scheduled special or mandatory redemption right, such right is not exercisable prior to the earliest of the consummation of the Merger on the Closing Date, the termination of this Agreement or the End Date and (ii) in accordance with the mandatory prepayment and commitment reduction provisions set forth in the Commitment Letter; provided that any substitute commitments that result in any such mandatory prepayment and commitment reduction are on terms that (A) would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the Merger or make the timely funding of the Financing or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing materially less likely to occur, and (B) do not materially and adversely affect the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letter with respect to any remaining commitments. The representations, warranties, covenants and other restrictions of Parent and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement with respect to the Financing and the Commitment Letter apply equally to such substitute commitments.

(e) Parent shall give the Company prompt notice of any breach of any part of the Commitment Letter or any definitive agreement with respect thereto of which Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware or any termination thereof that is reasonably likely to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the Merger or make the timely funding of the Financing or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing materially less likely to occur. Upon the reasonable request of the Company, Parent shall provide the Company information in reasonable detail about the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing.

(f) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to provide (and to use their reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representative to provide) such cooperation that is necessary, customary or advisable and reasonably requested by Parent to assist Parent in arranging, obtaining and syndicating the Financing, including without limitation (i) making senior management and advisors of the Company and its Subsidiaries available to participate at reasonable times and in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, road shows and due diligence sessions that are requested a reasonable period of time in advance with proposed lenders, underwriters, initial purchasers or

- 66 -

Section 7.3 Company Termination Fees.

(a) If (i) Parent or the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b) (and at the End Date all of the conditions to the Company’s obligations to close other than receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval have been satisfied, or are capable of satisfaction had the Closing occurred on the End Date) or Section 7.1(d), (ii) a Company Takeover Proposal shall have been publicly announced or publicly disclosed after the date of this Agreement and prior to the End Date (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.1(b)) or the Company Stockholder Meeting (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.1(d)), and was not definitively withdrawn at least ten Business Days prior to the End Date (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.1(b)) or at least five Business Days before the Company Stockholder Meeting (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.1(d)) and (iii) at any time on or prior to the 12-month anniversary of such termination, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, a transaction included within the definition of a Company Takeover Proposal with any Person (a “Company Takeover Transaction”), the Company shall pay Parent the Company Termination Fee, by wire transfer (to an account designated by Parent) in immediately available funds, upon the earlier of entering into such definitive agreement with respect to any Company Takeover Transaction or the consummation of any Company Takeover Transaction; provided that for the purposes of clause (iii) only, all references in the definition of Company Takeover Proposal to 25% shall instead be references to “50%.”

(d) “Company Termination Fee” shall mean $490,000,000, in cash. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, if the Company Termination Fee shall become due and payable in accordance with this Section 7.3, from and after such termination and payment of the Company Termination Fee in full pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 7.3, the Company and its Affiliates and Representatives (in the case of a payment of the Company Termination Fee by the Company) shall have no further Liability of any kind for any reason in connection with this Agreement or the termination contemplated hereby other than as provided under this Section 7.3, except in the case of fraud or a Willful Breach of this Agreement. Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges that the Company Termination Fee is not intended to be a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent in the circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee is due and payable and which do not involve fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. In no event shall Parent be entitled to more than one payment of the Company Termination Fee in connection with a termination of this Agreement pursuant to which such Company Termination Fee is payable. For the avoidance of doubt, while Parent and Merger Sub may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 8.5(a) and the payment of the Company Termination Fee under this Section 7.3, under no circumstances shall Parent and Merger Sub be permitted or entitled to receive the Company Termination Fee (if entitled under this Section 7.3) if the Merger is consummated.

(e) The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the Merger, and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay in a timely manner any amount due pursuant to this Section 7.3, then (i) the Company shall reimburse Parent for all costs and expenses (including disbursements and reasonable fees of counsel) incurred in the collection of such overdue amount, including in connection with any related claims, actions or proceedings commenced and (ii) the Company shall pay to Parent interest on such amount from and including the date payment of such amount was due to but excluding the date of actual payment at the prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

(a) Parent will pay to the Company a termination fee of $700,000,000 in cash (the “Parent Termination Fee”) if this Agreement is terminated as follows:

(i) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(b), if, as of the time of such termination, the only conditions to Closing set forth in Article VI that have not been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, provided such conditions would have been capable of being satisfied if the Closing Date were the date the notice of termination is delivered) are those set forth in Section 6.1(c) (solely due to an Order arising under, or a Law that is an, Antitrust Law) or Section 6.1(d), such payment to be made concurrently with such termination, in the case of a termination by Parent, or within three Business Days following such termination, in the case of a termination by the Company, in each case by wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company) in immediately available funds; or

(ii) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(c), if (A) the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 would have been capable of being satisfied if the Closing Date were the date the notice of termination is delivered, and (B) the Law is an Antitrust Law or the Order is issued pursuant to an Antitrust Law, such payment to be made concurrently with such termination, in the case of a termination by Parent, or within three Business Days following such termination, in the case of a termination by the Company, in each case by wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company) in immediately available funds.

(b) Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, if the Parent Termination Fee shall become due and payable in accordance with this Section 7.4, from and after such termination and payment of the Parent Termination Fee in full pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 7.4, Parent and its Affiliates and Representatives (in the case of a payment of the Parent Termination Fee by Parent) shall have no further Liability of any kind for any reason in connection with this Agreement or the termination contemplated hereby other than as provided under this Section 7.4, except in the case of fraud or a Willful Breach of this Agreement. Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges that the Parent Termination Fee is not intended to be a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company in the circumstances in which the Parent Termination Fee is due and payable and which do not involve fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. In no event shall the Company be entitled to more than one payment of the Parent Termination Fee in connection with a termination of this Agreement pursuant to which the Parent Termination Fee is payable. For the avoidance of doubt, while the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 8.5(a) and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee under this Section 7.4, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive the Parent Termination Fee (if entitled under this Section 7.4) if the Merger is consummated.

- 76 -

(c) Parent and Merger Sub each acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 7.4 are an integral part of the Merger, and that, without these agreements, the Company would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Parent fails to pay in a timely manner any amount due pursuant to this Section 7.4, then (i) Parent shall reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses (including disbursements and reasonable fees of counsel) incurred in the collection of such overdue amount, including in connection with any related claims, actions or proceedings commenced and (ii) Parent shall pay to the Company interest on such amount from and including the date payment of such amount was due to but excluding the date of actual payment at the prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.
