W I T N E S S E T H:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements

Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), at the
Effective Time, (a) Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), and
(b) the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue its

immunities, powers and franchises, shall continue unaffected by the Merger.
1.2. Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at
10:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on a date to be specified by the parties (the “Closing Date”),
which shall be no later than the fourth Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at
the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), at the
offices of Xxxxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, unless

in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed and filed
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Section 251(c) of the DGCL.
The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date or time as may be agreed
by Merger Sub and the Company in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance
with the DGCL (the effective date and time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the
“Effective Time”).
1.4. Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this
Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.
1.5. Certificate of Incorporation; By-laws.
(a) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as the Surviving Entity shall be amended
and restated to read the same as the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that Article I
-2-
of the Certificate of Incorporation
of the Surviving Entity shall read as follows: “The name of this corporation is Interwoven, Inc.”.
As so amended and restated, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Entity until thereafter changed or amended as
provided therein or by the DGCL or other applicable Law.
(b) The By-laws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be
the By-laws of the Surviving Entity until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by

be amended as necessary to comply with the obligations of the Surviving Entity set forth in Section
6.4 hereof.
1.6. Directors. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be the directors of the Surviving Entity at the Effective Time until the earlier of their
resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly designated, as the case may
be.
1.7. Officers. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be the officers of the Surviving Entity at the Effective Time until the earlier of their
resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the
case may be.
ARTICLE II
Effect of the Merger on the Capital Stock of the Constituent Entities;
Exchange of Certificates; Company Stock Options
Exchange of Certificates; Company Stock Options
2.1. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and
without any action on the part of Merger Sub or the Company or the holder of any capital stock of
Merger Sub or the Company or any other person:
(a) Merger Consideration. Each share (a “Share” or, collectively, the
“Shares”) of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company
Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than (i)
Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent, and (ii)
Shares owned by the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, and in each case
not held on behalf of third parties (each, an “Excluded Share” and collectively,
“Excluded Shares”) shall be converted into the right to receive $16.20 in
cash from Merger Sub (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time,
all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and
each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than
Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger
Consideration, without interest.
-3-
(b) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share shall, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of the Excluded Share, cease to be
outstanding, be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.
(c) Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.001
per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Entity.
(d) Dissenting Shares.
(i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders of the
Company who have demanded and perfected appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with Section
262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares” ) shall not be converted into or
represent the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. Such stockholders shall be
entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Common Stock held by
them in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until such stockholders fail to perfect
or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL. All
Shares held by Company stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively
withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares under Section 262 of the DGCL shall
thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the
Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in cash, without any
interest thereon (subject to any applicable withholding taxes), upon the surrender or transfer, in
the manner provided in Section 2.1(a), of the corresponding Certificate.
(ii) The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by
the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other related instruments served pursuant to the
DGCL and received by the Company and (B) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and
proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except
with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for
appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.
2.2. Exchange of Certificates.
(a) Paying Agent. On or promptly following the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to a paying agent selected prior to the Closing Date by Parent with the
Company’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (the “Paying Agent”),
amounts sufficient in the aggregate to make all payments of the Per Share Merger Consideration
pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange
Fund”). The Exchange Fund will be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of record of
Shares (other than Excluded Shares). Any interest and
-4-
other income resulting from such investment
shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under
Section 2.1(a) shall be promptly returned to Parent.
(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable (and in any event within two
Business Days) after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall cause the Paying Agent to mail
to each holder of record of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal in
customary form specifying 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 of
the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(e)) to the Paying Agent, such letter of transmittal to
be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and
(ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in
lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(e)) in exchange for the Per Share Merger
Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as
provided in Section 2.2(e)) to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of
transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange
therefor a cash amount in immediately available funds (after giving effect to any required tax
withholdings as provided in Section 2.2(f)) equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such
Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.2(e))
multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Certificate so surrendered shall
forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due
surrender of the Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not
registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be exchanged upon due
surrender of the Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Certificate formerly
representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to
evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have
been paid or are not applicable.
(c) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the
stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Paying Agent, it
shall be cancelled and exchanged for the cash amount in
immediately available funds to which the holder of the Certificate is entitled pursuant to
this Article II.
(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the
proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the
Company for 365 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Entity. Any
holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article II
shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Entity and Parent for payment of the Per Share Merger
Consideration (after giving effect to any required tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.2(f))
upon due surrender of such holder’s Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the
Certificates),
-5-
without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving
Entity, Parent, the Paying Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares
for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property,
escheat or similar Laws.
(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event 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, the posting by such
person of a bond in customary and reasonable amount and upon such customary and reasonable terms as
may be required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the
Surviving Entity with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue a check in the
amount (after giving effect to any required tax withholdings) equal to the number of Shares
represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Per Share Merger
Consideration.
(f) Withholding Rights. Parent and the Surviving Entity shall each be entitled to
deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any
holder of Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making
of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any
other applicable state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by
the Surviving Entity or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by
Parent or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Authority, and (ii)
shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares in
respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Entity or Parent, as the
case may be.
2.3. Company Equity Awards; ESPP.
(a) Options. At the Effective Time, all Company Stock Options outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time with an exercise price at or below $40.00 per share of Company Common
Stock (a “Lower Priced Option”) shall be assumed by Parent in accordance with, and to the
extent provided in, Section 6.10. At the Effective Time, all Company Stock Options
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with an exercise price in excess of $40.00
per share of Company Common Stock (a “Higher Priced Option”) shall not be assumed by Parent
and shall accordingly be cancelled with no cash or other consideration to be paid to the holders of
such cancelled Company Stock Options. At the Effective Time, all of such Higher Priced Options
shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist.
(b) Contingent Option Exercises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement or the Company Stock Plans, the Company shall be permitted to take such actions as it may
deem necessary or appropriate to permit the exercise of all vested Company Stock Options (including
Company Stock Options that will vest upon the consummation of the Merger) on a cashless basis
contingent upon the Closing. With
-6-
respect to each current or former employee of the Company or its
Subsidiaries who exercises one or more Company Stock Options on such a cashless basis, the Company
shall at the time of such exercise collect, either in the form of cash or through the withholding
of a portion of the shares of Company Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such exercise, all
federal, state and local income, employment and other payroll withholding taxes at the applicable
rates and shall pay all such withholding taxes in cash to the appropriate taxing authorities
promptly when due. The holders of Company Stock Options exercised on the foregoing basis shall be
entitled to receive, promptly following the Effective Time, cash in respect of each share of
Company Common Stock issued in connection with such cashless exercise, net of any shares withheld
to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes, in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the
Per Share Merger Consideration, over (ii) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at
which such Company Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(c) Treatment of Company RSUs. At the Effective Time, each Company RSU outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by Parent in accordance with Section 6.11.
(d) ESPP. All purchase rights under the ESPP outstanding on the earlier of (a) April
30, 2009 and (b) the day immediately prior to the Effective Time (such earlier date, the “ESPP
Purchase Date”), shall automatically be exercised, in accordance with the terms of the ESPP and
resolutions of the Board relating thereto to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the ESPP,
on the ESPP Purchase Date, and the shares of Company Common Stock purchased under those exercised
rights shall at the Effective Time be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the
consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1. No further purchase rights shall be granted or
exercised under the ESPP thereafter. No consent or approval of the participants in the ESPP is
required in connection with the final purchase date and termination of the ESPP in accordance with
this Section 2.3(d), and the ESPP and the agreement or agreements evidencing each outstanding
purchase right under the ESPP permit each of the actions contemplated by this Section 2.3(d).
2.4. Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that after the date hereof and
prior to the Effective Time, the Company changes the number of Shares or securities convertible or
exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a
result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or
distribution, recapitalization or other similar transaction, the Per Share Merger Consideration
shall be equitably adjusted.

ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties of the Company
The Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that, except as set forth in the
disclosure letter (with specific reference to the Section or Subsection of this Agreement to which
the information stated in such disclosure relates) delivered by the Company to Parent concurrently
with the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”), provided,
however, that disclosure in any Section of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to
have been set forth in all other applicable Sections of the Company Disclosure Letter where the
applicability of such disclosure to such other Sections is reasonably apparent notwithstanding the
omission of any cross-reference to such other Section in the Company Disclosure Letter;
provided, further, that the mere listing of the name of a Contract, the parties
thereto and the date thereof shall not make the applicability of such disclosure “reasonably
apparent” for purposes of the immediately preceding proviso unless such listing contains other
descriptive language making the applicability of such disclosure reasonably apparent:
3.1. Organization, Standing and Corporate Power. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of
the jurisdiction in which it is formed and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its
business as now being conducted. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or
licensed to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its
business or the ownership, leasing or operation of its properties makes such qualification or
licensing necessary, other than (A) in any jurisdiction that does not recognize the concept of good
standing, and (B) in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or to be
in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
The Company has Made Available to Parent complete and correct copies of its Certificate of
Incorporation (the “Company Certificate”) and By-laws (the “Company By-laws”). The
Company has Made Available to Parent or its representatives correct and complete copies of the
minutes of all meetings of stockholders, the Company Board and each committee of the Company Board
held since December 31, 2004.
3.2. Subsidiaries. Section 3.2 of the Company Disclosure Letter lists all of the
Subsidiaries of the Company and, for each such Subsidiary, the state of
formation. All the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each
such Subsidiary have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned
directly or indirectly by the Company (other than shares owned of record by other persons as
nominee for, or on behalf of, the Company or a Subsidiary), free and clear of all pledges, claims,
liens, charges, title defects, easements, encumbrances, rights of first offer or refusal or
security interests of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, “Liens”), and free of
any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock or other
equity interests. Except for the capital stock or other equity or voting interests of its
Subsidiaries and publicly traded securities held for investment that
-8-
do not exceed 5% of the
outstanding securities of any entity, the Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital
stock or other equity or voting interests in any person.
3.3. Capital Structure.

equity or at law)), of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary, and the Company or
the applicable Subsidiary has performed all of its material obligations under, and is not in
violation or breach of or default under, any such Contract or agreement except for such violation
or breach which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
To the Knowledge of the Company, as of the date of this Agreement, the other parties to any such
Contract or agreement have performed all of their obligations under, and are not in violation or
breach of or default under, any such Contract or agreement except for such violations or breaches
which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
(c) The Company has Made Available all Contracts of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
containing “standstill” or similar provisions that purport, after the Effective Time, to restrict
any Affiliate of the Company that would include Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
3.11. Compliance with Laws.
(a) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has been since December 31, 2004 and is in
compliance with all statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, judgments, orders and decrees
of any Governmental Authority (collectively, “Laws”) applicable to it, its properties or
other assets or its business or operations, except where any failures to be in compliance have not
had and would not reasonably be expected to have individually or in the aggregate a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received, since December 31,
2004 and prior to the date of this Agreement, a notice or other written communication alleging or
relating to a possible material violation of any Laws applicable to its businesses or operations
that would reasonably be expected to have individually or in the aggregate a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries
have in effect all material permits, licenses, variances, exemptions, authorizations, operating
certificates, franchises, orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities (collectively,
“Permits”) necessary to carry on their businesses as now conducted, and there has occurred
no material violation of, default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under, or event
giving to others any right of termination, amendment or cancellation of, with or without notice or
lapse of time or both, any Permit. There is no event that has occurred that, to the Knowledge of
the Company, would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation, cancellation, non-renewal or
adverse modification of any such Permit that individually or in the aggregate would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Assuming all Closing Consents are made or obtained,
the Merger, in and of itself, would not cause the revocation or cancellation of any such Permit.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action covered by the Worker
Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended (WARN Act), or any similar
applicable state, local or foreign Law and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries are
currently engaged in any layoffs or employment terminations sufficient in number to trigger
application of any such Laws.
-21-
(b) Since December 31, 2004, (i) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received,
nor otherwise has any Knowledge of, any written notice from any Governmental Authority that (x)
alleges any material noncompliance (or that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is under
investigation or the subject of an inquiry by any such Governmental Authority for such alleged
material noncompliance) with any applicable Law, or (y) would be reasonably likely to result in a
material fine, assessment or cease and desist order, or the suspension, revocation or material
limitation or restriction of any material Permit; and (ii) neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has entered into any agreement or settlement with any Governmental Authority with
respect to its non-compliance with, or violation of, any applicable Law.
(c) The Company and each of its officers and directors are in compliance with, and have
complied, in all material respects with (i) the applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of
2002 and the related rules and regulations promulgated under such act (“Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx”) or
the Exchange Act and (ii) the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of
Nasdaq. To the Knowledge of the Company, as of the date of this Agreement, there are no
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of the Company’s
internal controls which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize
and report financial data. To the Knowledge of the Company, as of the date of this Agreement,
there is no fraud relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or their respective businesses
that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal
controls. To the Knowledge of the Company, as of the date of this Agreement, none of the Company
SEC Documents is the subject of ongoing SEC review or outstanding SEC comment. As of the date of

years or during the current fiscal year-to-date which was required to be reported to the Company’s
Board of Directors. The books and records of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have been,
and are being maintained in all material respects in accordance with applicable Law and accounting
requirements and the SEC Financial Statements are consistent in all material respects with such
books and records.
3.12. Notes and Accounts Receivable. All notes and accounts receivable of the Company
and its Subsidiaries shown on the balance sheet included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2008 as filed with the SEC, or thereafter

thereof on the Company’s books, less the allowance for uncollectible accounts provided on the
above-referenced balance sheet, as such allowances may have been adjusted on the Company’s books in
the ordinary course of business to date, which adjustment, if material, is disclosed in Section
3.12 of the Company Disclosure Letter. As of the date of this
-22-
Agreement, no note or receivable of
the Company or its Subsidiaries is subject to an asserted counterclaim or setoff that if successful

benefits after employment or services have been terminated except as required by applicable Law)
maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries contributed or is obligated to contribute thereunder for current employees of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Employees”) and current and former directors of the Company (collectively, the “Company Plans”).

(ii) the most recent Forms 5500 and all schedules thereto and the most recent actuarial report, if
any; (iii) the most recent IRS determination or opinion letter; and (iv) the most recent summary
plan descriptions.
(c) The Company Plans have been maintained in accordance with their terms and with all
provisions of ERISA, the Code and other applicable Laws, and neither the Company (or any of its
Subsidiaries) nor any “party in interest” or “disqualified person” with respect to the Company
Plans has engaged in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 4975 of
the Code or Section 406 of ERISA. No fiduciary has any liability for breach of fiduciary duty or
any other failure to act or comply in connection with the administration or investment of the
assets of any Company Plan.
-23-
(d) To the Knowledge of the Company, the Company Plans intended to qualify under Section 401
of the Code are so qualified and any trusts intended to be exempt from Federal income taxation
under Section 501 of the Code are so exempt and the Company is not aware of any circumstances
likely to result in the loss of the qualification of any such Company Plan under Section 401(a) of
the Code or trusts under Section 501 of the Code.
(e) Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries nor any trade or business (whether or not
incorporated) that is treated as a single employer, with any of them under Section 414(b), (c), (m)
or (o) of the Code has any current or contingent liability with respect to (i) a plan subject to
Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 or 4971 of the Code or (ii) any “multiemployer
plan” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA). Each Company Plan that is intended to meet the
requirements for tax-favored treatment under Subchapter B of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code
meets such requirements.
(f) All material contributions (including all employer contributions and employee salary
reduction contributions) required to have been made under any of the Company Plans (including
workers compensation) or by Law (without regard to any waivers granted under Section 412 of the
Code), to any funds or trusts established thereunder or in connection therewith have been made by
the due date thereof (including any valid extension).
(g) All material reports, returns and similar documents with respect to the Company Plans
required to be filed with any Governmental Authority have been timely filed.
(h) There are no pending actions, claims or lawsuits that have been asserted or instituted
against the Company Plans, the assets of any of the trusts under the Company Plans or the sponsor
or administrator of any of the Company Plans, or against any fiduciary of the Company Plans with
respect to the operation of any of the Company Plans (other than routine benefit claims), nor does
the Company have any Knowledge of facts that could form the basis for any such action, claim or
lawsuit.
(i) Except as set forth in Section 3.13(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter, none of the
Company Plans provides for post-employment life or health insurance, benefits or coverage for any
participant or any beneficiary of a participant, except as may be required under the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), or Law. Each of the
Company and any ERISA Affiliate that maintains a “group health plan” within the meaning of Section
5000(b)(1) of the Code is in material compliance with the notice and continuation requirements of
Section 4980B of the Code, COBRA, Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and the regulations
thereunder.
(j) Except as set forth in Section 3.13(j) of the Company Disclosure Letter (to the extent
applicable, in each case broken down as to each item), neither the
-24-
execution and delivery of this
Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Company
Stockholder Approval or the Merger, will (i) result in any payment becoming due to any Employee,
including severance pay or any increase in severance pay upon termination of employment after the
date hereof, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Company Plan, (iii) result in
the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits under any Company Plan,
increase the amount payable, or result in any material obligation pursuant to, any Company Plan,
(iv) result in any obligation to fund any trust or other arrangement with respect to compensation
or benefits under a Company Plan or (v) limit or restrict the right of the Company or, after the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Parent to merge, amend or terminate any
Company Plan. Except as set forth in Section 3.13(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter, since
September 30, 2008, the Company, including the Company Board, any committee thereof and any officer
of the Company, has not taken any action to increase the compensation or benefits payable after the
date hereof to any officer having the title of senior vice president or higher of the Company.
(k) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has a contract, plan or commitment,
whether legally binding or not, to create any additional Company Plan or to modify any existing
Company Plan, except as required by applicable Law or tax qualification requirement. There has
been no amendment to, announcement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to, or change
in employee participation or coverage under, any Company Plan that would increase materially the
expense of maintaining such plan above the level of the expense incurred therefor for the most recent
fiscal year.
(l) Any individual who performs services for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other
than through a contract with an organization other than such individual) and who is not treated as
an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Federal income tax purposes by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, to the Knowledge of the Company, not an employee for such
purposes.
(m) Section 3.13 of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of all Company Plans
covering employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and maintained by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries outside of the United States (the “Foreign Plans”). The Foreign Plans

applicable Laws in all material respects. There are no unfunded material liabilities under or in
respect of the Foreign Plans, and all material contributions or other material payments required to
be made to or in respect of the Foreign Plans prior to the Closing Date have been made or will be
made prior to the Closing Date;
(n) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any contract, agreement or
other arrangement providing for the payment of any amount that
-25-

not be deductible by reason of Section 162(m) or Section 280G of the Code.
(o) Section 3.13(o) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of all plans, programs,
Contracts or arrangements to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or to which
either is subject, which, to the Knowledge of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, provide
for the payment of deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code (collectively, the
“Section 409A Plans”). The Company has operated each such Section 409A Plan in good faith
compliance with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the final and proposed
Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and all other applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance
provided thereunder. To the Knowledge of the Company, the Company has adopted the requisite
amendments to bring each Section 409A Plan into documentary compliance with the applicable
requirements of the final Treasury Regulations under Section 409A of the Code. Except as set forth
on Section 3.13(o) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company has not entered into any agreement
or arrangement to, and does not otherwise have any obligation to, indemnify or hold harmless any
individual for any liability that results from the failure to comply with the requirements of

taxing authority in any presently pending tax audit that could be material and adverse to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any period after the Effective Time. Neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries has any outstanding agreements, waivers or arrangements extending the
statutory period of limitations applicable to any claim for, or the period for the collection or
assessment of, any Federal, state or local income or other material taxes.
(h) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is currently receiving any tax benefit or
credit or other favorable tax treatment that will not be extended and available to the Company and

Section 382(g) of the Code.

Representations and Warranties of Parent and Merger Sub

disclosure letter (with specific reference to the Section or Subsection of this Agreement to which
the information stated in such disclosure relates) delivered by Parent to the Company concurrently
with the execution of this Agreement (the “Parent Disclosure Letter”), provided,
however, that disclosure in any Section of the Parent Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to
have been set forth in all other applicable sections of the Parent Disclosure Letter where the
applicability of such disclosure to such other Sections is reasonably apparent notwithstanding the
omission of any cross-reference to such other Section in the Parent Disclosure Letter;
provided, further, that the mere listing of the name of a Contract, the parties
thereto and the date thereof shall not make the applicability of such disclosure “reasonably
apparent” for purposes of the immediately preceding proviso unless such listing contains other
descriptive language making the applicability of such disclosure reasonably apparent:
-36-
4.1. Organization, Standing and Corporate Power. Each of Parent and Merger Sub is an
entity respectively duly incorporated and validly existing and duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed and in each case has all
requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted. Each of Parent and
Merger Sub is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or operation of its
properties makes such qualification or licensing necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where
the failure to be so qualified or licensed individually or in the aggregate has not resulted in,
and would not reasonably be expected to result in, material direct or indirect costs or liabilities
to Parent. Parent has provided the Company with complete and correct copies of the certificate of
incorporation and by-laws of Parent and Merger Sub, in each case as amended to the date of this
Agreement.
4.2. Capital Structure of Merger Sub. The authorized capital stock of Merger Sub
consists solely of 1,000 shares of common stock, par value 0.001 per share, all of which are
validly issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Merger Sub is
owned by Parent free of any Lien. Merger Sub has not conducted any business prior to the date of
this Agreement and has no assets, liabilities or obligations of any nature other than those
incident to its formation and pursuant to this Agreement and the Merger, the Financing Agreements
and the other transactions contemplated by such agreements.
4.3. Authority; Noncontravention.
(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub has all requisite power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Financing
Agreements. The Board of Directors of Parent, at a meeting duly called and held, duly resolved (A)
to approve this Agreement, the Merger, the Financing Agreements and the other transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby (“Parent Board Approval” ), (B) that it is in the best
interests of Parent and its shareholders that Parent and Merger Sub enter into this Agreement, and
that Parent enter into the Financing Agreements, and that Parent and Merger Sub consummate the
Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and therein, (C) to convene an
extraordinary general meeting of Parent (the “Parent General Meeting” ) to approve the
consummation of the Merger upon the terms of this Agreement, to be held as promptly as practicable
after the date of this Agreement (the “Parent Board Recommendation” ). The affirmative
vote of a simple majority of the votes of those shareholders present in person or by proxy at the
Parent General Meeting or, if a poll is called, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the votes cast at the Parent General Meeting (whether in person or by proxy) for approval of the
consummation of the Merger upon the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (insofar as shareholder approval is required) (the “Parent Shareholder
Approval” ) are the only votes of the holders of any class or series of share capital of Parent
necessary to enable Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
Financing
-37-
Agreements. No vote, other than the Parent Shareholder Approval, is required by Law, the
memorandum and articles of association of Parent or otherwise in order for Parent to approve this
Agreement or the Financing Agreements or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other
organizational action on the part of Merger Sub (except for the approval by the sole stockholder of
Merger Sub, which approval Parent shall cause to be obtained immediately following the execution
and delivery of this Agreement) and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Merger Sub are
necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and Merger Sub, and the Financing
Agreements have been duly executed and delivered by Parent and, assuming the due authorization,
execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, each constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, enforceable against Parent and Merger Sub, as
applicable, in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, solvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time
to time in effect and by general principles of equity).
(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Financing Agreements do not, and the
consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
Financing Agreements and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Financing
Agreements will not, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or
without notice or lapse of time or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to the loss of a benefit under, or result in the
creation of any Lien in or upon any of the properties or other assets of Parent or Merger Sub under
(i) the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Parent or certificate of incorporation or by-laws
of Merger Sub, (ii) any Contract to which Parent or Merger Sub is a party or to which any of their
respective properties or other assets is subject or (iii) subject to the Necessary Consents
referred to in Section 4.4 hereof, any Law applicable to Parent or Merger Sub or their respective
properties or other assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), any such conflicts,
violations, breaches, defaults, rights, losses or Liens that individually or in the aggregate
(A) would not reasonably be expected to impair in any material respect the ability of Parent or
Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Financing Agreements and
(B) would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Financing Agreements.
4.4. Governmental Approvals. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, action,

Merger Sub in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub
or the Financing Agreements by Parent, or the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the Merger
or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and, with respect to Parent, the
Financing
-38-
Agreements), except for Necessary Consents (provided, that, for purposes of this
Section 4.4, clause (e) of the definition of “Necessary Consents” shall be deleted and restated in
its entirety to include such other consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations,
declarations and filings the failure of which to be obtained or made individually or in the
aggregate would not reasonably be expected to (x) impair in any material respect the ability of
Parent or Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Financing Agreements
or (y) prevent or materially delay the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and by the Financing Agreements).
4.5. Litigation. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no suit, claim, action,
investigation or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent or Merger Sub, overtly
threatened against or affecting Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective assets or
properties before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would
reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impede or delay the consummation of the Merger and
the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor is there any Order of any Governmental
Authority or arbitrator outstanding against Parent or Merger Sub that, individually or in the
aggregate, would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the
Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Parent or Merger Sub specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy
Statement will, at the date it is first mailed to the stockholders of the Company and at the time
of the Company Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

three years of the date of this Agreement, as those terms are used in Section 203 of the DGCL.

of engaging in the transactions contemplated hereby, has not engaged in any other business
activities other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
Financing Agreements.

copies of the Financing Agreements as of the date of this Agreement. As of the date of this
Agreement, there is no breach or default on the part of any party to either of the Financing
Agreements, and as of the date of this Agreement Parent has no Knowledge that the financing
contemplated by either of the Financing Agreements will not be obtained prior to the Effective
Time. To the Knowledge of Parent, as of the date of this Agreement no fact, event or circumstance
has occurred or otherwise exists that would reasonably be expected to entitle any of the parties to
the Financing Agreements to terminate the applicable Financing Agreement or preclude or materially
impede the performance by Parent of any of its covenants or agreements in the Financing Agreements
or the satisfaction by Parent of any the conditions set forth in the Financing Agreements.

comparable replacement policies to the extent available for a reasonable cost;
(xiv) change its fiscal year, revalue any of its material assets, or make any changes
in financial, actuarial, reserving, statutory or tax accounting methods,
principles or practices, except in each case as required by GAAP or applicable Law;
-43-
(xv) change any material tax election or settle or compromise any material tax
liability, or agree to an extension of a statute of limitations with respect to material
taxes; or
(xvi) authorize any of, or commit or agree to take any of, the foregoing actions.
(b) Prior to making any written communications to the directors, officers or employees of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected
by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of
the intended communication, Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on
the communication, and Parent and the Company shall cooperate in providing any such mutually
agreeable communication.
(c) Advice of Changes; Filings. Each of the Company and Parent shall as promptly as
practicable advise the other party orally and in writing upon obtaining Knowledge of (i) any
representation or warranty made by it (and, in the case of Parent, made by Merger Sub) contained in
this Agreement that is qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be,
becoming untrue or inaccurate in any respect or any representation or warranty that is not so
qualified becoming untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or (ii) the failure of it (and, in
the case of Parent, of Merger Sub) to comply with or satisfy in any respect any covenant, condition
or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided,
however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements of the parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the
obligations of the parties under this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall promptly provide the
other copies of all filings made by such party with any Governmental Authority in connection with
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
5.2. No Solicitation by the Company.
(a) The Company agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall it
authorize or permit any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees or any investment
banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other advisor, agent or representative of the
Company or any Subsidiary (collectively, “Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly,
(i) solicit, initiate, cause, or knowingly encourage or facilitate, any inquiries or the making of
any proposal or offer that constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Company Takeover
Proposal or (ii) participate in any negotiations or substantive discussions regarding any Company
Takeover Proposal, or furnish to any person any non-public information in connection with or in
furtherance of, or otherwise cooperate with or knowingly assist any person in connection with, any
Company Takeover Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is
-44-
agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any
Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be a breach of this Section 5.2(a)
by the Company. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and instruct its
Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or
negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal and
request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval (and
in no event after obtaining such Company Stockholder Approval), in response to an unsolicited bona
fide written Company Takeover Proposal made after the date hereof that the Company Board determines
in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and its outside counsel) constitutes
or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Superior Proposal, the Company may, if the
Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel) that failure
to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the
stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, and subject to compliance with Section 5.2(c) and
after giving Parent one Business Day written notice of such determination, (A) furnish information
with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the person making such Company Takeover
Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less
restrictive of such person than the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that all such
information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or Made Available
to Parent) is provided or Made Available to Parent, as the case may be, prior to or substantially
concurrent with the time it is provided or Made Available to such person, as the case may be, and
(B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such Company Takeover
Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such Company Takeover Proposal, and otherwise
cooperate with and assist the person making such Company Takeover Proposal with respect to such
Company Takeover Proposal.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Takeover Proposal” shall mean any inquiry,
proposal or offer, whether or not conditional, with respect to a proposed or potential Acquisition
Transaction from a person other than Parent or its Affiliates or their respective Representatives
(in their capacities as such). An “Acquisition Transaction” means (a) a merger,
consolidation, dissolution, recapitalization or other business combination involving the Company or
its Subsidiaries, (b) for the issuance of, in a single transaction or series of related
transactions, 15% or more of the equity securities of the Company as consideration for the assets
or securities of another person or (c) to acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, in a
single transaction or series of related transactions, 15% or more of the equity securities of the
Company or assets (including equity securities of any Subsidiary of the Company) that represent 15%
or more of the total consolidated assets of the Company, other than the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide
written offer made by a third party, that if consummated would result in
-45-
such person (or its stockholders) owning, directly or indirectly, greater than 50% of the
Shares then outstanding (or of the surviving entity in a merger or the direct or indirect parent of
the surviving entity in a merger) or all or substantially all of the total consolidated assets of
the Company on terms that the Company Board determines in good faith (following consultation with
its financial advisor and its outside counsel and in light of all relevant circumstances, including
all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement) to (i) be more favorable to the
stockholders of the Company from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and (ii) be reasonably likely to be completed, taking into account any financing and
approval requirements and all other financing, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such
proposal.
(b) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw (or modify in a
manner adverse to Parent), or resolve to withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), the
approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by such Company Board or any such committee
thereof of this Agreement or the Merger (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no
position with respect to a Company Takeover Proposal (other than in connection with a “stop, look
and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange
Act) shall be considered an adverse modification), or (B) recommend, adopt or approve, or propose
publicly to recommend, adopt or approve, any Acquisition Transaction (any action described in this
clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve
or recommend, or resolve to approve or recommend, or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in
principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement,
partnership agreement or other similar agreement constituting or related to, any Acquisition
Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement pursuant to Section 5.2(a)); provided,
that the foregoing shall not prohibit accurate disclosure (and such disclosure shall not be deemed
a Company Adverse Recommendation Change for any purpose under this Agreement) of the fact that a
Company Takeover Proposal has been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Board may make
a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if the Company Board determines in good faith (following
consultation with its financial advisor and its outside counsel) that failure to take such action
would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the
Company under applicable Law; provided, however, that no Company Adverse
Recommendation Change may be made in response to a Company Takeover Proposal until after 72 hours
following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company (an “Adverse Recommendation
Notice”) advising Parent that the Company Board has determined that such Company Takeover
Proposal is a Company Superior Proposal, that the Company Board intends to make such Company
Adverse Recommendation Change and containing all information required by Section 5.2(c), together
with copies of any written offer or proposal in respect of such Company Superior Proposal (it being
understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such
Company Superior Proposal shall require a new Adverse Recommendation Notice and a new 72-hour
period). During such 72 hour
-46-
period, the Company shall, if so requested by Parent, negotiate in good faith with Parent with
respect to any revised proposal from Parent in respect of the terms of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. In making the determination that a Company Takeover Proposal
constitutes a Company Superior Proposal, the Company Board shall take into account any changes to
the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent (in response to an Adverse Recommendation Notice or
otherwise).
(c) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
Section 5.2, the Company shall promptly, and in no event later than 24 hours after any officer of
the Company becomes aware of the receipt thereof by the Company, advise Parent orally and in
writing of any request for information or other inquiry that the Company reasonably believes could
lead to any Company Takeover Proposal, the terms and conditions of any such request, Company
Takeover Proposal or inquiry (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the person making
any such request, Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry. The Company shall (i) promptly keep Parent
informed in all material respects of any material change in the status of, or any material
modification or material amendment of any such request, Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry and
(ii) provide Parent as soon as practicable copies of any written offer, all correspondence and any
other written material sent or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from any person
that describes any of the terms or conditions of any such request, Company Takeover Proposal or
inquiry.
(d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and
disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) or Item
1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any required disclosure
to the stockholders of the Company if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (after
consultation with its outside counsel), failure to so disclose would be reasonably likely to result
in a breach of its fiduciary duties or other obligations to the stockholders of the Company under
applicable Law.
(e) Without limiting any other rights of Parent under this Agreement, neither any Company
Adverse Recommendation Change nor any termination of this Agreement shall have any effect on any of
the approvals or other actions referred to herein for the purpose of causing the Takeover Laws to
be inapplicable to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, which
approvals and actions are irrevocable.
ARTICLE VI
Additional Agreements
6.1. Preparation of the Proxy Statement; Stockholder Meetings.
(a) As soon as practicable, using its commercially reasonable efforts to do so within seven
days following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare
-47-
and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement. The Company shall respond promptly to any comments
from the SEC or the staff of the SEC on the Proxy Statement. The Company shall use its reasonable
efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company as promptly as
practicable. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement will made by the
Company, without providing Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment
thereon. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to the Company or
Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the
Company or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so
that it 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 that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties
hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly
filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the
Company. The Company shall notify Parent promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or
the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or
supplements to the Proxy Statement for additional information and shall supply Parent with copies
of all correspondence between the Company or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the
SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the Merger.
(b) The Company shall, as soon as practicable following the clearance of the Proxy Statement
by the SEC, establish a record date for and promptly take any and all actions in connection
therewith, and duly call, give notice of, convene and hold, a meeting of its stockholders (the
“Company Stockholders Meeting”) solely for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder
Approval and the approval of any adjournment of the Company Stockholders Meeting. Subject to
Section 5.2(b), the Company Board shall recommend to the Company’s stockholders adoption of this
Agreement and the Merger.
(c) The Company Board, or a committee thereof consisting of non-employee directors (as such
term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act), shall adopt a resolution in
advance of the Effective Time authorizing the disposition by the Company Insiders of their Shares
for cash and the disposition of their outstanding Options, in each case pursuant to the
transactions contemplated hereby, for purposes of qualifying those dispositions for the exemption
provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Company Insiders” means those officers and directors of the Company who are subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
6.2. Parent General Meeting; Other Actions.
(a) Subject to any applicable Laws and regulations, Parent shall promptly prepare and use its
commercially reasonable efforts to post to its shareholders, as soon as practicable following the
date of this Agreement, the UK Class 1 Circular. The
-48-
Company agrees to provide Parent with such cooperation in connection with the preparation of
the UK Class 1 Circular as may be reasonably requested in writing by Parent. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish the
foregoing within seven days following the date of this Agreement, and Parent agrees that it will:
(i) respond promptly to any comments from the Financial Services Authority (the “FSA”)
on the draft UK Class 1 Circular, provide copies of such comments promptly to the Company and its
advisors, and consult with the Company in a reasonably timely manner as to the form and content of
the UK Class 1 Circular;
(ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that in each case the relevant draft(s)
or redraft(s) of the UK Class 1 Circular shall be provided as soon as practicable to the Company so
that the Company and its advisors can review and comment upon the relevant draft(s) and redraft(s)
to the extent related to the Company or the Merger;
(iii) consider the reasonable comments of Company and its advisors related to the Company or
the Merger on the draft(s) and redraft(s) referred to in Section 6.2(a)(ii); and
(iv) convene the Parent Shareholder Meeting and conduct the vote to approve the Merger and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (insofar as shareholder approval is required) as soon
as reasonably practicable following the posting of the UK Class 1 Circular.
(b) Subject to Section 6.2(c), Parent agrees that the UK Class 1 Circular shall incorporate a
unanimous recommendation from Parent’s Directors to Parent’s shareholders to vote in favor of the
shareholder resolutions necessary to effect the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (insofar as shareholder approval is required).
(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Parent Directors from withdrawing or modifying
or proposing to withdraw or modify their recommendation in favor the Parent Shareholder Approval (a
“Change of Parent Recommendation”) if, in the exercise of their fiduciary obligations as
Parent Directors (as determined in good faith by the Parent Directors after consultation with its
financial advisors and outside legal counsel) the failure to take such actions would be reasonably
likely to result in a breach of the Parent Directors’ fiduciary obligations to Parent.
(d) If Parent is required to issue any supplement to shareholders relating to information
contained in the UK Class 1 Circular (the “Supplement ”), Parent shall notify the Company
as soon as reasonably practicable of such requirement and shall:
-49-
(i) respond promptly to any comments from the FSA on the Supplement, provide copies of
such comments promptly to the Company and its advisors, and consult with the Company as to the form
and content of all the documentation relating to the Supplement relating to the Merger;
(ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that in each case the relevant draft(s)
or redraft(s) of the Supplement shall be provided as soon as practicable to the Company so that the
Company and its advisors can review and comment upon the relevant draft(s) and redraft(s) to the
extent related to the Company or the Merger;
(iii) consider the reasonable comments of Company and its advisors related to the Company or
the Merger on the draft(s) and redraft(s) referred to in Section 6.2(d)(ii); and
(iv) if required, convene a shareholder meeting of Parent to approve any material change to
the terms of this Agreement.
Parent agrees that none of the information included or incorporated by reference in the UK
Class 1 Circular or any Supplement will (except to the extent revised or superseded by amendments
or supplements contemplated hereby), at the date the UK Class 1 Circular or any Supplement is filed
with the United Kingdom’s Financial Services Authority or mailed to Parent’s shareholders or at the
time of the Parent General Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided,
however, that no representation is made by Parent with respect to statements made in the UK
Class 1 Circular or any Supplement based on information supplied by the Company in writing
expressly for inclusion in the UK Class 1 Circular or any Supplement. The UK Class 1 Circular and
any Supplement will comply as to form with the requirements of the Listing Rules of the United
Kingdom Listing Authority made pursuant to the Financial Services and Markets Act.
6.3. Access to Information; Confidentiality.
(a) The Company shall afford to Parent, and its Representatives, reasonable access during
normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time or the termination of this
Agreement to all its and its Subsidiaries’ properties, books, tax returns, contracts, commitments,
personnel, records, statutory filings and databases and, during such period, the Company shall
furnish promptly to Parent (a) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other
document filed by the Company during such period pursuant to the requirements of Federal or state
securities Laws and (b) consistent with its legal obligations all other information concerning the
Company and its Subsidiaries’ business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to permit any access, or
to deliver or make available to Parent any information, to the extent that in
-50-
the reasonable judgment of the Company, such action would (a) result in the disclosure of any
trade secrets of third parties, (b) violate any contractual obligation of the Company with respect
to confidentiality, (c) jeopardize protections afforded the Company under the attorney-client
privilege or the attorney work product doctrine, or (d) violate any Law. Except for disclosures
expressly permitted by the terms of the confidentiality agreement, dated as of September 16, 2008,
between Parent and the Company (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality
Agreement”), each party shall hold, and shall cause its Representatives to hold, all
information received from the other party, directly or indirectly, in confidence in accordance with
the Confidentiality Agreement.
(b) During the period prior to the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, the
Company shall provide, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, employees,
representatives and advisors, including legal and accounting, to provide, to Parent and to the
officers, employees, attorneys, accountants and other representatives of Parent, all cooperation
that may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with Parent’s financing of the
consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(a), including (i) participation in meetings,
presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions and sessions with rating agencies, and (ii)
assisting with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, offering documents,
private placement memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents required in connection with
Parent’s financing of the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(a); provided,
however, that nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would involve
or result in the Company or any of its directors, officers or representatives incurring any
liability, or would interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or its
Subsidiaries or otherwise result in any significant interference with the prompt and timely
discharge by such employees of their normal duties.
6.4. Reasonable Best Efforts.
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the
parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and
to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things
necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner
practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using
reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the taking of all acts necessary to cause
the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as practicable, (ii) the obtaining of all
necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities and
the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental
Authorities) and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from,
or to avoid an action or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, (iii) the obtaining of all
necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties and (iv) the execution and delivery of
any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully
carry out the purposes of, this Agreement. In connection with and without limiting the first
sentence of this Section 6.4,
-51-
each of the Company and the Company Board and Parent and the Parent Board shall (A) take all
action reasonably necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or
regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and (B) if any state takeover statute or similar statute becomes
applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the
terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or
regulation on this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing shall be
deemed to require Parent to (1) agree to, or proffer to, divest or hold separate any assets or any
portion of any business of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or, assuming the consummation of the
Merger, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (2) not compete in any geographic area or line of
business, (3) restrict the manner in which, or whether, Parent, the Company, the Surviving Entity
or any of their respective Affiliates may carry on business in any part of the world or restrict
the exercise of the full rights of ownership, (4) agree to any terms or conditions that would
impose any obligations on Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or, assuming the consummation of the
Merger, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to maintain facilities, operations, places of
business, employment levels, products or businesses or any other restriction, limitation or
qualification or (5) make any payments that, in the case of any of clauses (1) through (5), would,
or would reasonably be likely to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect
on the Company and its Subsidiaries or on Parent and its Subsidiaries (each, a “Negative
Regulatory Action”).
(b) Each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all
respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Authority
in connection with the Merger and in connection with any investigation, approval process or other
inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority relating to the Merger, including any proceeding
initiated by a private party, and (ii) keep the other party informed in all material respects and
on a reasonably timely basis of any communication received by such party from, or given by such
party to, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the
Department of Justice (the “DOJ”)or any other Governmental Authority and of any material
communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case
regarding the Merger. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Parent and the Company
each agree to file a premerger notification under the HSR Act within seven days after the date of
this Agreement, and (ii) each of Parent and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain promptly any clearance required under the HSR Act for the consummation of the
Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
comply promptly with any inquiries or requests for additional information from the FTC and the DOJ.
No Party hereto shall independently participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental
Authority in respect of any filings, applications, investigations, or other
-52-
inquiry without giving the other Parties hereto prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent
permitted by the relevant Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend and participate (which
shall be limited to outside antitrust counsel only). Each party will consult with the other party
in connection with the preparation of all written presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments,
opinions, proposals, or other written submissions to any Governmental Authority that are prepared
in connection with obtaining the clearance required under the HSR Act for the consummation of the
Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby.
6.5. Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.
(a) All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts, omissions or
other matters occurring or existing at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the
current or former directors, officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the
“Indemnified Parties”) as provided in the Company Certificate, the Company By-laws or any
agreement between the Company and any Indemnified Parties (in each case, as in effect on the date
hereof) shall be assumed by the Surviving Entity in the Merger, without further action, as of the
Effective Time and shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in
accordance with their terms. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless, and provide advancement of
expenses to the Indemnified Parties to the same extent such persons have the right to be
indemnified and held harmless, or have the right to advancement of expenses, by the Company
pursuant to the Company Certificate, the Company By-laws or any agreement between the Company and
any Indemnified Parties, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
(b) For six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall (and Parent shall cause
the Surviving Entity to) maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’
liability insurance in respect of acts, omissions or other matters occurring or existing at or
prior to the Effective Time (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with the
approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) covering
the Indemnified Parties currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance policy (a correct and complete copy of which has been heretofore Made Available to
Parent) on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such
policy in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that Parent may substitute
therefor policies of Parent containing terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable
to such Indemnified Parties; provided, further, however, that in satisfying
its obligation under this Section 6.4(b), Parent shall not be obligated to pay aggregate premiums
in excess of 250% of the amount paid by the Company in its last full fiscal year (the “Maximum
Premium”), it being understood and agreed that Parent shall nevertheless be obligated to
provide such coverage as may be obtained for the Maximum Premium. In lieu of the foregoing,
Parent or the Company shall be entitled to purchase an extended reporting period endorsement with
respect to the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (a “Reporting
Tail Endorsement”) providing the same coverage and
-53-
amounts and containing substantially the same terms and conditions as the current policies of
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company, covering the period of six
years after the Effective Time, and maintain such endorsement in full force and effect for its full
term. If the Company’s existing insurance expires, is terminated or canceled during such six-year
period or exceeds the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Entity shall obtain, and Parent shall cause
the Surviving Entity to obtain, as much directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as can be
obtained for the remainder of such period for an annualized premium not in excess of the Maximum
Premium, on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties than the Company’s
existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
(c) The covenants contained in this Section 6.5 are intended to be for the benefit of, and
shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal
representatives, and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified
Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, contract or otherwise. Parent shall pay all expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by Indemnified Parties and their
respective heirs and legal representatives in connection with their enforcement of their rights
provided in this Section 6.5.
6.6. Fees and Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with this
Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by
the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated, except that
each of the Company and Parent shall bear and pay one-half of the fees and expenses (other than the
fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants) incurred in connection with the printing and filing
of the Proxy Statement with the SEC and any amendments or supplements thereto and the premerger
notification and report forms under the HSR Act.
6.7. Public Announcements. Parent and the Company shall consult with each other
before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release
or other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including the Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement
prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by
obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with, or regulations of, any national securities
exchange or national securities quotation system (including the FSA/UKLA’s Listing Rules and
Disclosure and Transparency Rules), provided, however, that the Company need not
consult with Parent in connection with any press release or public statement to be issued or made
solely with respect to any Company Adverse Recommendation Change, any Acquisition Transaction or
any Company Takeover Proposal. The parties agree that the initial press releases to be issued
with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the forms heretofore
agreed to by the parties.
6.8. Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall promptly advise Parent orally and in
writing of any stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its
-54-
directors relating to this Agreement, the Merger and/or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and shall keep Parent fully informed regarding any such stockholder litigation. The
Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company regarding the defense or
settlement of any such stockholder litigation, shall give due consideration to Parent’s advice with
respect to such stockholder litigation and shall not settle any such litigation prior to such
consultation and consideration.
6.9. Employee Matters.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, if requested to do so by Parent with not
less than five Business Days’ written notice, terminate its defined contribution 401(k) plans.
Parent shall provide, or cause the Surviving Entity to provide, that the Employees are eligible to
participate in a defined contribution 401(k) plan immediately following the Effective Time and that
such defined contribution plan shall accept “eligible rollover distributions” for Employees from a
terminated Company defined contribution 401(k) plan.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall provide the
employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who remain employed after the Effective Time
(“Continuing Employees”) with substantially similar types and levels of benefits as those
provided to similarly situated employees of Parent. With regard to any Company Plans for which
service with Parent or any affiliate of Parent is relevant for purposes of eligibility to
participate and vesting, including applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation, but
not for benefit accrual or accrual rates, Parent shall treat and cause its corresponding benefit
and equity compensation plans to treat the service of the Continuing Employees with the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company prior to the Effective Time as service rendered to Parent or any
affiliate of Parent for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting, including applicability
of minimum waiting periods for participation, but not for benefit accrual or accrual rates.
Following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Parent a true and correct
schedule setting forth such service for each employee of the Company. Parent shall ensure that (i)
no Continuing Employee, nor any eligible dependents of a Continuing Employee who, at the Effective
Time, are participating in the Company group health plans, shall be excluded from Parent’s group
health plans, or limited in coverage thereunder, by reason of any waiting period restriction or
pre-existing condition limitation and (ii) Continuing Employees are given credit for amounts paid
under a Company Plan during the plan year that includes the Effective Time for purposes of applying
deductibles, co-payments, and out-of-pocket maximums, as though such amounts had been paid in
accordance with the terms and conditions of a similar benefit plan maintained by Parent for the
plan year in which the Effective Time occurs; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be required to provide any coverage, benefits, or
credit under clause (i) or (ii) above that is not permitted under the terms of Parent’s
corresponding benefit plans.
-55-
(c) Parent or the Surviving Entity shall assume and honor in accordance with their terms all
written employment, severance, retention and termination agreements (including any change in
control provisions therein) applicable to Continuing Employees.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall (1) be treated as an
amendment of any particular Company Plan, (2) give any third party any right to enforce the
provisions of this Section 6.9 or (3) obligate Parent, the Surviving Entity or any of their
Affiliates to (i) maintain any particular Company Plan or (ii) retain the employment of any
particular employee.
6.10. Company Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each Lower Priced Option
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not then vested or exercisable),
together with each of the Company Stock Plans under which such Lower Priced Options are
outstanding, shall be assumed by Parent subject to and in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Each such Lower Priced Option so assumed by Parent under this Agreement (an “Assumed
Option”) shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including
the terms and conditions set forth in the Company Stock Plan under which it was granted and the
applicable stock option agreement) as are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except
that (i) such Assumed Option shall be exercisable for that number of whole Parent Ordinary Shares
equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon
exercise of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the
Exchange Ratio and rounded down to the nearest whole number of Parent Ordinary Shares, and (ii) the
per share exercise price for the Parent Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such Assumed
Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company
Common Stock at which such Assumed Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time
by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent (or, if greater, the nominal value of
Parent Ordinary Shares). It is the intention of the parties that the Company Stock Options assumed
by Parent hereunder qualify, to the maximum extent permissible, following the Effective Time as
“incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent those Assumed Options
qualified as incentive stock options prior to the Effective Time.
(b) None of the Higher Priced Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be assumed by Parent. Accordingly, the Company shall take all requisite or appropriate
action, including appropriate action by the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of the
Board, to assure that each such Higher Priced Option, whether or not then vested or exercisable,
shall terminate or expire at the Effective Time without any required consent or approval of the
holder of the terminated or expired Company Stock Option and without any cash or other
consideration payable to the holder of the Company Stock Option in connection with the termination
or expiration of that Company Stock Option (subject to any right of the holder of such Company
Stock Option
-56-
to exercise such Company Stock Option prior to the Effective Time), and the holder
shall as of the Effective Time cease to have any further right to acquire any shares of Company
Common Stock (and shall not obtain any right to acquire any Parent Ordinary Shares) under such
terminated or expired Company Stock Option.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Exchange Ratio” shall be equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing the Per Share Merger Consideration by the Parent Fair Market Value,
and (ii) “Parent Fair Market Value” means the average of the volume weighted average
selling price per share of Parent Ordinary Shares as quoted on the London Stock Exchange on the
five consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day preceding the Closing Date (as
converted to U.S. Dollars at the currency exchange rate as quoted in the New York edition of The
Wall Street Journal on the Effective Time).
(d) For so long as Parent Ordinary Shares are listed for trading on the London Stock Exchange
or any other listing exchange, Parent shall cause all Parent Ordinary Shares issued with respect to
each Company Stock Option so assumed to be admitted to the Official List of the United Kingdom
Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange or such other listing exchange prior
to or upon issuance of any such Parent Ordinary Shares.
(e) No consent or approval of the holders of the Lower-Priced Options is required in
connection with Parent’s assumption of those options in accordance with Sections 2.3(a) and 6.10.
The Company Stock Plans and the agreement or agreements evidencing each outstanding Company Stock
Option permit each of the actions contemplated by this Section 6.10.
(f) In the case of Lower Price Options granted under (i) the Interwoven Inc. 1999 Equity
Incentive Plan, Inland Revenue Approved Rules for UK Employees, and (ii) the UK Subplan under the
iManage, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan, Parent shall offer the grant of new stock options in
consideration of the surrender of some or all of such Lower Priced Options on terms agreed with Her
Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (an “Approved Rollover Offer ”) (unless such terms agreed with
Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs require the use of an exchange ratio materially more generous than
the Exchange Ratio provided in Section 6.10(c) hereof), provided, that if and to the extent
that either no Approved Rollover Offer is made, or an Approved Rollover Offer is made but is not
accepted by all or any of the holders of the relevant Lower Priced Options, the provisions of
sub-paragraphs (a) — (e) above shall apply to such Lower Priced Options.
6.11. Company RSUs. At the Effective Time, each Company RSU outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall be assumed by Parent in accordance with
the following provisions:
(a) Each such Company RSU so assumed by Parent under this Agreement (an “Assumed RSU”)
shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including the terms and conditions set
forth in the Company Stock
-57-
Plan under which it was granted and the applicable restricted stock unit
agreement) as are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that each Assumed RSU
that vests shall be settled for that number of whole Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the product of
the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon settlement of such Company RSU
immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and rounded down to the
nearest whole number of Parent Ordinary Shares.
(b) For so long as Parent Ordinary Shares are listed for trading on the London Stock Exchange
or any other listing exchange, Parent shall cause all Parent Ordinary Shares issued with respect to
each Company RSU so assumed to be admitted to the Official List of the United Kingdom Listing
Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange or such other listing exchange prior to or
upon issuance of any such Parent Ordinary Shares.
(c) No consent or approval of the holders of the Company RSUs is required in connection with
Parent’s assumption of the Assumed RSUs in accordance with this Section 6.11. The Company Stock
Plans and the agreement or agreements evidencing each outstanding Company RSU permit each of the
actions contemplated by this Section 6.11.
6.12. Cooperation. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries will, and will cause each
of its Representatives to, use its reasonable efforts, subject to applicable Laws, to cooperate
with and assist Parent and Merger Sub in connection with planning the integration of the Company
and its Subsidiaries and their respective employees with the business operations of Parent and its
Subsidiaries.
6.13. Operations of Merger Sub. Prior to the Closing, Merger Sub shall not, and
Parent shall not permit Merger Sub to, engage in any other business activities other than in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the obtaining of financing for the
consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(a).
6.14. Financing Agreements.
(a) Without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed in situations where the matter for which consent is sought would not reasonably be
expected to preclude or materially impede the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, Parent shall not terminate the Placing Agreement or amend or modify any term of the
Placing Agreement or agree to or permit any termination of the Placing Agreement or any amendment
or modification to any term of the Placing Agreement, waive any provision or remedy under the
Placing Agreement, or fail to enforce any of its rights or remedies under the Placing Agreement.
Without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed in situations where the matter for which consent is sought would not reasonably be expected
to preclude or materially impede the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent shall not
-58-
terminate the Loan Agreement or amend or modify any term of the Loan Agreement or agree to or permit any
termination of the Loan Agreement or any amendment or modification to any term of the Loan
Agreement, waive any provision or remedy under the Loan Agreement, or fail to enforce any of its
rights or remedies under the Loan Agreement if any such action or failure to take action would
preclude or materially impede the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Parent shall keep the Company informed in all material respects on a timely basis of any material
modification or material amendment to either of the Financing Agreements. Parent shall notify the
Company promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) of Parent having Knowledge of (i) any
inaccuracy in any representation or warranty in the Financing Agreements of Parent or any other
party to the Financing Agreements, (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement in either of the
Financing Agreements by Parent or any other party to either of the Financing Agreements, (iii) the
expiration, termination, modification or amendment of the Financing Agreements, (iv) the existence
of any fact, event or circumstance that, individually or in the aggregate with all other facts,
events or circumstances, has had or would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on
Parent’s ability to obtain the financing contemplated by the Financing Agreements, and (v) any
proposal by any party to a Financing Agreement to terminate, modify or amend such Financing
Agreement in any material respect. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) satisfy all
conditions set forth in the Financing Agreements, (ii) consummate the financings contemplated by
the Financing Agreements, including by complying with all reasonable requests or requirements of
the other parties to the Financing Agreements, (iii) perform all of its obligations under the
Financing Agreements, (iv) take any and all other actions necessary or appropriate to consummate
the transactions contemplated by the Financing Agreements, and (v) not commit any breach of or
otherwise cause or permit any default under the Financing Agreements.
(b) If any portion of the financing contemplated by the Financing Agreements becomes
unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Financing Agreements as in effect on
the date hereof, or if any of the Financing Agreements shall be terminated or modified in a manner
materially adverse to Parent for any reason, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to
consummate the Merger (“Alternate Financing”). Parent shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all things necessary, proper or advisable to
arrange promptly and consummate the Alternate Financing, including (i) using commercially
reasonable efforts to (x) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto; and (z)
consummate the Alternate Financing at or prior to the Closing and (ii) seeking to enforce its
rights under such agreements. In the event Alternate Financing is obtained and Parent enters into
definitive agreements with respect thereto, references in this Agreement to the Financing
Agreements shall be deemed to include such definitive agreements, as applicable.
(c) Parent and Merger Sub agree and acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement or the Financing Agreements to the contrary,
-59-
(a) the respective obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to effect the Merger will not be subject to the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by either of the Financing Agreements or to Parent obtaining any of the financing
contemplated thereby, (b) neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall have any right to terminate this
Agreement on account of the termination of either of the Financing Agreements or the failure of
Parent to obtain any of the financing contemplated thereby or any other financing necessary to
enable Parent to pay the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(a), and (c) for the
avoidance of doubt, the respective obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to effect the Merger shall
not be affected or excused by the performance by Parent of its obligations under Section 6.14(a)
and (b), or by any failure of Parent to obtain the financing contemplated by either of the
Financing Agreements or by the Alternate Financing.

“Termination Date”); provided, however, that if on June 22, 2009
the condition to Closing set forth in Section 7.1(c) or 7.1(d) shall not have been
satisfied but all other conditions to Closing shall have been satisfied (or in the case of
conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, shall be capable of
being satisfied on June 22, 2009), then the Termination Date shall be extended to September
22, 2009 if Parent notifies the Company, or the Company notifies Parent, in writing on or
prior to June 22, 2009 of its election to extend the Termination Date to September 22,

to be satisfied shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable;

adoption at the Company Stockholder Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement
thereof) and the Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained at such meeting
(including any adjournment or postponement thereof); provided, however,

the Parent General Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) and the
Parent Shareholder Approval shall not have been obtained at such meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof);

Section 8.1(b)(iv) shall not be available to any Party if the failure to obtain the Parent

to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.
(c) by Parent, if 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 Section 7.2(a) or
(b) and (B) is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by the Company within 20 calendar days
following receipt of written notice from Parent of such breach or failure to perform (a
“Company Material Breach”) (provided, that there is not then pending any Parent
Material Breach);
(d) by the Company, if Parent 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 (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or
(b) and (ii) is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by Parent within 20 calendar days
following receipt of written notice from the Company of such breach or failure to perform (a

Material Breach);
(e) by Parent, if (i) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred, (ii) the

declaration of advisability of this Agreement and the Merger within five Business Days after a
written request by Parent that it do so, (iii) the Company Board adopts a resolution approving,
endorsing or recommending an Acquisition Transaction, (iv) the Company enters into a definitive
agreement providing for the consummation of a transaction that constitutes an Acquisition

and the Company Board fails to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer
by its shareholders within ten Business Days after commencement of such tender offer or exchange
offer (provided that any right to terminate pursuant to this clause (v) must be exercised,
if at all, by Parent within 10 days of the expiration of such ten Business Day period), or (vi) the
Company Board publicly announces its intention to do any of the foregoing;
(f) by the Company, at any time prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is
obtained, if (i) the Company Superior Proposal did not result, directly or indirectly, from a
willful breach of Section 5.2(a), (ii) the Company Board authorizes the Company, subject to complying with the terms of Section 5.2, to enter into an
Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Company Superior Proposal and the Company
notifies Parent in writing that it intends to enter into such an Alternative Acquisition Agreement,
attaching the most current version of such agreement (including
-64-
all exhibits and other attachments thereto) to such notice, (iii) Parent does not make, within 72 hours of receipt of the Company’s
written notification of its intention to enter into a binding agreement for a Company Superior
Proposal, (which period may be concurrent with the 72-hour period set forth in Section 5.2(b)), a
binding, unconditional offer (including the complete form of definitive acquisition agreement
executed on behalf of Parent and all exhibits and other attachments thereto, subject only to
acceptance by the Company by countersignature on behalf of the Company, that the Company Board
determines in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors, is (A) at least as
favorable, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders of the Company as the Company
Superior Proposal and (B) reasonably likely to be completed, and (iv) the Company concurrently
with such termination pays to Parent in immediately available funds any fees required to be paid
pursuant to Section 8.2. The Company agrees that it will not enter into an Alternative Acquisition
Agreement referred to in clause (i) above until after it has provided the 72-hour notice to Parent
required above, and during such 72-hour period, to negotiate in good faith with Parent with respect
to any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent
in response to a Company Superior Proposal, if any;
(g) by Parent, if any director or officer of the Company shall have willfully and materially
breached Section 5.2(a);
(h) by the Company if (i) there shall have occurred (A) the failure of the Board of Directors

transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or fails to close the transactions contemplated herein
(whether or not as a result of a breach of Section 6.14), by the earlier of (a) the date 15
Business Days after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (excluding
conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but which would be
reasonably capable of being satisfied at Closing) and (b) the day preceding the Termination Date.
8.2. Termination Fee.
(a) In the event that:
(i) this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or the Company pursuant to
Section 8.1(b)(iii) and (A) after the date of this Agreement a bona fide Company Takeover
Proposal shall have been made or communicated to the
-65-
Company or shall have been made directly to the stockholders of the Company generally, or any person shall have announced
an intention to make or communicate a Company Takeover Proposal, in each case which, on the
date of the Company Stockholder Meeting, has not been withdrawn, and (B) within twelve
months after such termination the Company shall have entered into an Alternative
Acquisition Agreement which is subsequently consummated, or shall have consummated, within
such twelve-month period, an Acquisition Transaction (provided, that for purposes
of Section 8.2(a)(i), all references to “15%” in the definition of Acquisition Transaction
and Company Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to refer to “50%”); or
(ii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(e) or Section
8.1(g); or
(iii) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(f),
then the Company shall (1) in the case of a Termination Fee payable pursuant to clause (i) of this
Section 8.2(a), upon the date of such consummation of the Acquisition Transaction, (2) in the case
of a Termination Fee payable pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 8.2(a), within two Business
Days after the date of such termination, and (3) in the case of a Termination Fee payable pursuant
to clause (iii) of this Section 8.2(a), concurrently with such termination, pay Parent a fee equal
to $25,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of same-day funds,
provided, that the amount of the Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall
be reduced by any amount that the Company has paid, or is required to pay, pursuant to Section
8.2(b).
(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section
8.1(b)(iii), then the Company shall pay Parent a fee equal to $7,000,000 by wire transfer of
same-day funds. Such fee shall be payable within two Business Days after the date of termination
by Parent, or shall be payable concurrently with such termination in the case of a termination by
the Company.
(c) In the event that the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h) or
Section 8.1(i), or in the event that either the Company or Parent terminates this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iv), then Parent shall pay to the Company a fee equal to $25,000,000
(the “Parent Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of same-day funds. Such fee shall be
payable within two Business Days after the date of termination by the Company, or shall be
payable concurrently with such termination in the case of a termination by Parent.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Parent
Termination Fee (inclusive of the amounts in paragraph (f) below) exceeds the maximum
-66-
amount that may be paid without violating the Laws of England and Wales, the rules of the FSA/UKLA or the
London Stock Exchange plc, then the amount of the Parent Termination Fee shall be reduced to be
equal to the maximum amount that may be paid without violating the Laws of England and Wales, the
rules of the FSA/UKLA or the London Stock Exchange plc (in each case, such maximum being that which
may be paid without shareholder approval).
(e) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in Section 8.2 are an
integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these
agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement. If the Company fails promptly to pay the
amount due pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or (b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent
commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for such fee, the Company shall pay
to Parent its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
incurred in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee from the
date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime rate of Citibank,
N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.
(f) Parent acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in Section 8.2 are an
integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these
agreements, the Company would not enter into this Agreement. If Parent fails promptly to pay the
amount due pursuant to Section 8.2(c), and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences
a suit that results in a judgment against Parent for the Parent Termination Fee, Parent shall pay
to the Company its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) incurred in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the Parent
Termination Fee and expenses from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of
payment at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be
made.
(g) Each of the parties hereto further acknowledges that neither the payment of the
Termination Fee or the fee described in Section 8.2(b) by the Company nor the payment of the Parent
Termination Fee by Parent is a penalty, but in each case is liquidated damages in a reasonable
amount that will compensate Parent or the Company, as the case may be, in the circumstances in
which such fees are payable and which do not involve fraud for the efforts and resources expended
and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and reliance on this Agreement and
on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would
otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.
8.3. Effect of Termination.
(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided
in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any
liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, other than the provisions
of the last sentence of Section 6.3(a), Sections 6.6 and 8.2, this Section 8.3 and Article IX,
which provisions shall survive such
-67-
termination; provided that, subject to Section 8.3(b),
nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liability for any willful breach hereof.
(b) In the event (i) the Company pays the Termination Fee to Parent pursuant to Section 8.2(a)
(and/or, if applicable, the fee payable to Parent pursuant to Section 8.2(b)), the Company (and its
stockholders, controlling persons, managers, employees, representatives, members, directors,
officers, Affiliates, assignees and agents) shall have no further liability with respect to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to Parent or its Affiliates
(provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall relieve such party from liability arising
out of fraud); it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the
Termination Fee on more than one occasion; and (ii) Parent pays the Parent Termination Fee to the
Company pursuant to Section 8.2(c), Parent (and its stockholders, controlling persons, managers,
employees, representatives, members, directors, officers, Affiliates, assignees and agents) shall
have no further liability with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement to the Company or its Affiliates (provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall
relieve such party from liability arising out of fraud); it being understood that in no event shall
Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion.
8.4. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time
before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval or the Parent Shareholder Approval;
provided, however, that after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained,
there shall be made no amendment that by Law requires further approval by the stockholders of the
Company without such approval having been obtained; provided, further, that after
the Parent Shareholder Approval is obtained, there shall be made no amendment that by Law requires
further approval by the shareholders of Parent without such approval having been obtained. This
Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the
parties hereto.
8.5. Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties may
(a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other
parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in
any document delivered pursuant hereto or (c) subject to the provisos to the first sentence of
Section 8.4, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any
agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth
in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its
rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.
8.6. Procedure for Termination or Amendment. A termination of this Agreement pursuant
to Section 8.1 or an amendment of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.4 shall, in order to be effective, require, in the case of the Company, action by the Company Board, or, with respect to
any amendment of this Agreement pursuant to
-68-
Section 8.4, the Company Board or the duly authorized
committee or other designee of the Company Board to the extent permitted by Law.
