Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are each sometimes referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of Parent and Merger Sub have approved and declared advisable this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

WHEREAS, pursuant to this Agreement, Parent has agreed to cause Merger Sub to commence a cash tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted by this Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase any (subject to the Minimum Condition) and all of the outstanding shares of common stock (other than Shares canceled or converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)), par value $0.001 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock” or the “Shares”), at a price per share of Common Stock of $11.25 (such amount or any higher amount per share of Common Stock that may be paid pursuant to an amended Offer, the “Offer Price”), payable net to the seller in cash, without interest, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Common Stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”);

WHEREAS, as soon as practicable following acceptance for payment of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, which shall be sufficient to satisfy the Minimum Condition (as defined herein), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent in accordance with Section 3-106.1 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) and each Share that is not tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer (other than shares canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof) will thereupon be canceled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Offer Price, without interest, in each case, on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the Merger shall be governed by and effected pursuant to Section 3-106.1 of the MGCL;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”), at a meeting thereof duly called and held, has adopted resolutions unanimously among those voting (a) approving and declaring advisable this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) determining that it is in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders of the Company that the Company enter into this Agreement and

consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, (c) resolving that the Merger shall be effected under Section 3-106.1 of the MGCL and that the Merger shall be consummated as promptly as practicable following the Acceptance Time (as defined herein), and (d) resolving to recommend to the stockholders of the Company that they accept the Offer and tender their shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Offer; and

WHEREAS, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE OFFER; THE MERGER; CLOSING; SURVIVING COMPANY

1.1 The Offer.

(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article VII, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date hereof), Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) commence, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, the Offer to purchase (subject to the Offer Conditions, including the Minimum Condition) all the outstanding Common Stock (other than the Shares cancelled or converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)) at a price per share equal to the Offer Price. The consummation of the Offer, and the obligation of Merger Sub to accept for payment, purchase and pay for any shares of Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer, shall be subject only to: (i) there being validly tendered in the Offer and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date that number of shares of Common Stock (excluding shares of Common Stock tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures but not yet delivered) which, together with the number of shares of Common Stock (if any) then owned by Parent or its Subsidiaries, represents at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding (collectively, the “Minimum Condition”); (ii) this Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms (the “Termination Condition”); and (iii) the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the other conditions and requirements set forth in Annex I (together with the Minimum Condition and the Termination Condition, the “Offer Conditions”).

(b) Subject to the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the Termination Condition and the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the other Offer Conditions, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) (i) promptly (and in any event no later than one (1) Business Day) after the Expiration Date accept for payment and purchase all shares of Common Stock validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer (the time of such acceptance, the “Acceptance Time”) and (ii) promptly (and in any event no later than one (1) Business Day) after the applicable Expiration Date cause the Paying Agent to pay for such shares of Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.9, the Offer Price payable in respect of each share

of Common Stock validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer shall be paid net to the seller in cash, without interest.

(c) The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that describes the terms and conditions of the Offer in accordance with this Agreement, including the Offer Conditions. Unless previously approved by the Company in writing, Parent and Merger Sub shall not: (i) decrease the Offer Price, (ii) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (iii) change the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased in the Offer, (iv) amend or waive the Minimum Condition, the Termination Condition or the conditions set forth in clauses (b) or (c)(i) of Annex I, (v) add any condition to the Offer or any term that is adverse to the holders of Common Stock, (vi) extend the expiration of the Offer except as required or permitted by this Section 1.1, (vii) provide for a “subsequent offering period” (or any extension thereof) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act or (viii) modify, supplement or amend any other term or condition of the Offer in a manner adverse to the holders of Common Stock. Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right (but shall not be obligated) at any time and from time to time, in their sole discretion, to (A) increase the Offer Price, and (B) waive (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) any Offer Condition and make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer, in each case, that are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement (including the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence).

(d) Unless extended or terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days following the commencement of the Offer, as calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) of the Exchange Act (such time and date, the “Initial Expiration Date”) or if the Initial Expiration Date has been extended in accordance with this Agreement, on the date to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date, or such later time and date to which the Initial Expiration Date has been extended in accordance with this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”).

(e) If as of any then scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition has not been satisfied or, to the extent waivable by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement, waived by Parent or Merger Sub, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) extend the Offer for successive periods of up to five (5) Business Days each (or such longer period of up to twenty (20) Business Days if Parent so desires and the Company consents in writing prior to such extension) in order to permit the satisfaction of the Offer Conditions; provided, however, that Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer beyond August 31, 2019 (such date, the “Outside Date”), and shall not extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date without the Company’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for any period or periods required by applicable Law or applicable rules, regulations, interpretations or positions of the SEC or its staff or NASDAQ; provided, however, that Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date, and shall not extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date without the Company’s consent.

(f) Merger Sub shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Date without the prior written consent of the Company, except if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VII. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VII, Merger Sub

shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) promptly terminate the Offer and shall not acquire the shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto. If the Offer is terminated by Merger Sub, or this Agreement is terminated prior to the Acceptance Time, Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depositary acting on behalf of Merger Sub to promptly return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered shares of Common Stock to the registered holders thereof.

(g) As promptly as practicable on the date of the commencement, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall:

(i) file with the SEC, in accordance with Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act, a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”);

(ii) cause a notice that satisfies the requirements of Section 3-106.1(e)(1) of the MGCL (the “Maryland Short Form Notice”) to be given to all holders of shares of Common Stock with the Offer Documents, unless, prior to the date the Offer is first commenced, the Maryland Short Form Notice has been given to all holders of shares of Common Stock who, except for the application of Section 3-106.1 of the MGCL, would be entitled to vote on the Merger on the date such notice is given;

(iii) deliver a copy of the Schedule TO, including all exhibits thereto, to the Company at its principal executive offices in accordance with Rule 14d-3(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act;

(iv) give telephonic notice of the information required by Rule 14d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and, unless waived by NASDAQ or the NASDAQ Listing Rules, mail by means of first class mail a copy of the Schedule TO, to NASDAQ in accordance with Rule 14d-3(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; and

(v) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to all holders of shares of Common Stock as and to the extent required by all applicable Laws, including the Exchange Act.

(h) The Schedule TO shall include as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase, a form of letter of transmittal, a form of summary advertisement, and a form of notice of guaranteed delivery (the Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer shall be made, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, being referred to herein as the “Offer Documents”). The Offer Documents shall include the Maryland Short Form Notice (whether as an exhibit or otherwise) as provided in clause (g)(ii) above and may include a description of the determinations, approvals and recommendations of the Company Board and the Company described in this Agreement (and a change to such determinations, approvals and recommendations to the extent applicable at the relevant time). Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2, the Company consents to the inclusion of a description of the Company Recommendation in the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents. Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agree to use reasonable best efforts to (i) respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents and (ii) cause the Offer Documents when filed to comply with applicable Law and promptly correct any

information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents, if and to the extent that any of them become aware that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law, and Parent and Merger Sub agree to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of shares of Common Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by all applicable Laws, including the Exchange Act. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent all information concerning the Company, its stockholders and the Company Subsidiaries that may be reasonably requested in connection with this Section 1.1(h). The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents before they are filed with the SEC, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments made by the Company and its counsel. In addition, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel promptly with copies of any written comments, and shall inform them of any oral comments, that Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule TO or the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any proposed written or oral responses to the SEC or its staff in respect of the Schedule TO and Offer Documents and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments made by the Company and its counsel and shall give the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in any substantive telephonic communications with the staff of the SEC related thereto, to the extent such participation is not prohibited by the SEC or applicable Law.

1.2 Company Actions.

(a) Schedule 14D-9. On the day that the Schedule TO is initially filed with the SEC by Merger Sub, the Company shall file with the SEC, in a manner that complies with Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall contain, subject to the provisions of Section 5.2, the Company Recommendation and the full text of the opinion of the Company Financial Advisor referred to in Section 3.24; provided that, the Company shall not be deemed to be in violation of its obligations set forth in this sentence if it has used reasonable efforts to prepare the Schedule 14D-9 on an expeditious basis following the date of this Agreement and is prepared to file with the SEC the Schedule 14D-9 no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of this Agreement. The Company agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be disseminated to holders of shares of Common Stock, as and to the extent required by all applicable Laws, including the Exchange Act. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, agree to use reasonable best efforts to (i) respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 and (ii) cause the Schedule 14D-9 when filed to comply with applicable Law and promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9, if and to the extent that any of them become aware that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law, and the Company agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of shares of Common Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by all applicable Laws, including the Exchange Act. Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9

before it is filed with the SEC, and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments made by Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel. In addition, the Company shall provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel promptly with copies of any written comments, and shall inform them of any oral comments, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any proposed written or oral responses to the SEC or its staff in respect of the Schedule 14D-9 and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments made by Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel, and shall give Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in any substantive telephonic communications with the staff of the SEC related thereto, to the extent such participation is not prohibited by the SEC or applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Company in this Section 1.2 shall not apply from and after the time the Company Board effects a Company Change in Recommendation in accordance with Section 5.2.

(b) Company Information. From time to time as requested by Merger Sub or its agents, the Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to Merger Sub mailing labels, security position listings, non-objecting beneficial owner lists and any other listings or computer files available to it containing the names and addresses of the record or beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock, in each case, accurate and complete as of the most recent practicable date, and shall promptly furnish Merger Sub with such information (including, but not limited to, updated lists of holders of the shares of Common Stock and their addresses, mailing labels, security position listings and non-objecting beneficial owner lists) and such other assistance as Merger Sub or its agents may reasonably request in communicating with the record and beneficial holders of shares of Common Stock, in connection with the preparation and dissemination of the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents and the solicitation of tenders of shares of Common Stock in the Offer. Except as required by applicable Law or any Governmental Entity, Parent and Merger Sub and their agents shall hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listings and files, will use such information only in connection with such transactions and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, will, upon request, deliver, and will cause their agents to deliver, to the Company (or destroy, and confirm such destruction to the Company) all copies of such information then in their possession or control.

(c) Acceptance Time. The Company shall cause the transfer of shares of Common Stock accepted for payment to be registered by its transfer agent effective immediately after the time at which Merger Sub accepts for payment and purchases shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer; provided, that Merger Sub causes the Paying Agent to pay for such shares of Common Stock at or immediately after such acceptance.

1.3 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease. The Company shall be the surviving company in the Merger (hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Company”), and the separate corporate existence of the Company with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers

and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects specified in the MGCL.

1.4 Closing.

2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or the holders of any securities of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub:

(a) Cancellation of Company Securities; Subsidiary-Owned Securities.

(i) Each share of Common Stock held by the Company as treasury stock or held by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration or payment shall be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof.

(ii) Each share of Common Stock that is owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or of Merger Sub shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration or payment shall be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof.

(b) Conversion of Company Securities. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares canceled or converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof) shall automatically be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). The holders of certificates or book-entry shares which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Common Stock (respectively, the “Certificates” and “Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Common Stock other than the right to receive, upon surrender of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 2.2 of this Agreement (and such other documents as may be required pursuant to the letter of transmittal), the Merger Consideration.

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. 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 and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Surviving Company, and such converted shares shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Company.

2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Designation of Paying Agent; Deposit of Exchange Fund. Prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent shall designate a paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), the identity and the terms of appointment of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, for the payment of (i) the Offer Price as provided in Section 1.1(b) and (ii) the applicable Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(b). Prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent, cash constituting an amount sufficient to make payment of (x) the aggregate Offer Price payable pursuant to Section 1.1(b) and (y) the aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (all cash deposited with the Paying Agent, the “Exchange Fund”). At or immediately after the Effective Time, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Surviving Company (taking into account the available cash of the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries), and the Surviving Company shall disburse in cash, the amounts payable at Closing in respect of the Company RSUs pursuant to Section 2.4(a), the Company Restricted Stock Awards pursuant to Section 2.4(b), the Company PSUs pursuant to Section 2.4(c), the Company Long-Term Incentive Shares pursuant to Section 2.4(d) and the Company Options pursuant to Section 2.4(e). In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 1.1(b) and Section 2.1(b), Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payments. The Paying Agent shall cause the Exchange Fund to be (i) held for the benefit of the holders of Common Stock and (ii) applied promptly to making the payments pursuant to Section 1.1(b) and Section 2.1(b) hereof. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments pursuant to Section 1.1(b) and Section 2.1(b).

(b) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time and in any event not later than three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Surviving Company shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Common Stock (x) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent and which shall be in the form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify and (y) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) in exchange for the Merger Consideration into which the number of shares of Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with a letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share of Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, promptly following the later to occur of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the Paying Agent’s receipt and acceptance of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof), and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) so surrendered shall be forthwith canceled. The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to

effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof). If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it will be a condition precedent of payment that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed or will be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment will have paid any transfer or similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered or will have established to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Taxes either have been paid or are not payable.

(d) Promptly after the Effective Time and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall issue and deliver to each record holder, as of the Effective Time, of Book-Entry Shares, which have converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.1(b), an amount in cash, equal to the product of (A) the Offer Price and (B) the number of such Book-Entry Shares held by such record holder, without such holder of Book-Entry Shares being required to deliver a Certificate or executed letter of transmittal. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration payable to such holder.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest accrued with respect thereto) which remains undistributed for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Company, upon demand, and any holders of Shares as of the Effective Time who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company as general creditor thereof for payment of their claims for cash, without interest, to which such holders may be entitled upon compliance with this Article II.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Company, 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. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, immediately prior to the date any Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, such Merger Consideration shall become the property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company; provided, that (i) no such investment shall relieve Parent or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article II, (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) such investments shall be in short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated A-l or P-l or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation,

respectively. Any interest or income produced by such investments will become a part of the Exchange Fund.

2.3 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement and other than as contemplated by this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall occur as a result of a reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period, the Offer Price and Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

(i) solicit, initiate, knowingly induce, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries, expressions of interest or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal;

(ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person regarding any Company Acquisition Proposal;

(b) Fiduciary Exception to No Solicitation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.2(a), from and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the Acceptance Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII, the Company may, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal which did not result from a breach of Section 5.2(a) and so long as it has provided prior written notice to Parent in accordance with Section 5.2(c), (i) provide access to non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to the Person who made such Company Acquisition Proposal; provided, that such information has previously been made available to Parent or is provided to Parent substantially concurrently with the making of such information available to such Person and that, prior to furnishing any such material non-public information, the Company receives from the Person making such Company Acquisition Proposal an executed confidentiality agreement with terms at least as restrictive in all material respects on such Person as the Confidentiality Agreement’s terms are on Parent (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not prohibit the making or amending of a Company Acquisition Proposal), and (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person regarding such Company Acquisition Proposal if, and only if, prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation that (A) such Company Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Company Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary or similar duties under applicable Law. The Company shall enforce any preexisting explicit or implicit confidentiality or standstill provisions or similar agreements with any Person or group of Persons, unless the Company Board, after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, determines in good faith that any failure to do so would be reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary or similar duties under applicable Law.

(c) Notice. The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent in writing (with notice by email being sufficient, regardless of time of day or transmission on a non-Business Day, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.6) if (i) any written or other inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to, or that could

reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal are received by the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Representatives, (ii) any non-public information is requested in connection with any Company Acquisition Proposal (or any inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal) from the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Representatives, or (iii) any discussions or negotiation with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal (or any inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal) are sought to be initiated or continued with the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Representatives, in each case, (x) indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers and (y) attaching copies of any materials, documents and correspondence related thereto, including any proposed Company Alternative Acquisition Agreements and any related financing commitments, and thereafter shall keep Parent informed, on a current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments or modifications thereto and updated copies of all materials, documents and correspondence related thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations.

(d) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

“Company Acquisition Proposal” means any inquiry, indication of interest or proposal (other than a proposal or offer by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries), in writing or otherwise, concerning or relating to (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) (i) any merger, consolidation, reorganization, share exchange, business combination, issuance or sale of securities, direct or indirect acquisition of securities, recapitalization, tender offer, exchange offer or other similar transaction in which (x) a person or “group” (as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) of persons directly or indirectly acquires, or if consummated in accordance with its terms would acquire, beneficial or record ownership of securities representing more than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of the Company; or (y) the Company issues securities representing more than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of the Company; (ii) any direct or indirect sale, lease, exchange, transfer, acquisition or disposition of any assets or securities of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries that constitute or account for (x) more than twenty percent (20%) of the consolidated net revenues of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, consolidated net income of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or consolidated book value of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries; or (y) more than twenty percent (20%) of the fair market value of the assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole; (iii) any combination of the foregoing or (iv) any liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

“Company Superior Proposal” means any bona fide, binding, written Company Acquisition Proposal (with all percentages in the definition of Company Acquisition Proposal increased to fifty percent (50%)) on terms which the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation) to be (i) more favorable to the holders of Shares than the Offer and the Merger (taking into account all of the terms and conditions of, and the likelihood of completion of, such proposal and this Agreement (including any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to such offer or otherwise)), (ii) would reasonably be expected to be completed, taking into account all financial, legal, conditionality, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal and (iii) not subject to any due diligence investigation or financing condition and fully financed with available cash on hand or otherwise fully backed by written financing commitments that are in full force and effect.

Except as provided in Section 5.2(f) and Section 5.2(g), the Company Board and each committee of the Company Board shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) (A) withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation, or fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 when disseminated to the stockholders of the Company, or (B) approve, recommend, endorse or otherwise declare advisable (or publicly propose or resolve to approve, recommend. endorse or otherwise declare advisable) any Company Acquisition Proposal or (C) make or authorize the making of any public statement (oral or written) that has the substantive effect of such a withdrawal, qualification, endorsement or modification, or (D) submit any Company Acquisition Proposal to the vote of the stockholders of the Company, (ii) following the public announcement of any Company Acquisition Proposal, fail to issue a public press release within five (5) Business Days thereof that the Company Board expressly reaffirms the Company Recommendation, (iii) cause or permit the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, lease agreement or other similar agreement or Contract (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.2(b) entered into in compliance with Section 5.2(a)) relating to any Company Acquisition Proposal or requiring the Company (or that would require the Company) to abandon, terminate, or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement (a “Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement”); (iv) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to enter into a Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement, or (v) announce its intention, authorize, commit, resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing (each, a “Company Change in Recommendation”).

(f) Company Change in Recommendation Provision Due to Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.2(e), following receipt of a written Company Acquisition Proposal by the Company after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of Section 5.2(a) and the Company Board determining in good faith, after consultation with financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Company Superior Proposal, the Company Board may, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, make a Company Change in Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.3(b) to enter into a Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Company Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 5.2(f)(ii), or authorize, resolve, agree or propose publicly to take any such action, if and only if all of the following conditions are previously met:

(i) the Company shall have (A) provided to Parent four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall state expressly (1) that it has received a written Company Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Company Superior Proposal, (2) the material terms and conditions of the Company Acquisition Proposal (including the form and amount of consideration offered therein and the identity of the Person or group making the Company Acquisition Proposal), and shall have contemporaneously provided an unredacted copy of the Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement and all other documents (other than immaterial documents) related to the Company Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms (including price) or any other material term or condition of such Company Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and an additional two (2) Business Day period) and (3) that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Company Board has determined to effect a Company Change in Recommendation or to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.3(b) in order to enter into the Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement, as applicable, and (B) prior to making such a Company Change in Recommendation or terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.3(b), as applicable, (x) negotiated, and directed its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent elects to negotiate) during such notice period to consider adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement which may be proposed in writing by Parent such that the Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement ceases to constitute a Company Superior Proposal, and (y) in determining whether to make a Company Change in Recommendation and/or to effect such a termination in accordance with Section 7.3(b), the Company Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent; and

(ii) the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, that, (A) in light of such Company Superior Proposal and taking into account any revised terms proposed in writing by Parent, such Company Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Company Superior Proposal and(B) the failure to make such Company Change in Recommendation or to so terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.3(b), as applicable, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary or similar duties under applicable Law.

(g) Company Change in Recommendation Due to Company Intervening Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.2(e), upon the occurrence of any Company Intervening Event, the Company Board may, at any time prior to the

Acceptance Time, take any action that is otherwise prohibited by clause (i)(A) or clause (i)(C) of the definition of Company Change in Recommendation, which action would constitute a Company Change in Recommendation, if and only if all of the following conditions are previously met:

(i) the Company shall have (A) provided to Parent four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall (1) set forth in reasonable detail information describing the Company Intervening Event and the rationale for the Company Change in Recommendation, and (2) state expressly that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Company Board has determined to effect a Company Change in Recommendation, and (B) prior to making such a Company Change in Recommendation, negotiated, and directed its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent elects to negotiate) during such four (4) Business Day period to consider revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement which may be proposed in writing by Parent so that a Company Change in Recommendation would no longer be necessary; and

(ii) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, that in light of such Company Intervening Event and taking into account any revised terms proposed in writing by Parent, the failure to make a Company Change in Recommendation, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary or similar duties under applicable Law.

(h) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable U.S. federal or state Law with regard to a Company Acquisition Proposal; provided, that any “stop look and listen” communication to its stockholders of the nature contemplated by Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act shall include an affirmative statement to the effect that the Company Recommendation is affirmed or remains unchanged; provided, further, that this Section 5.2(h) shall not be deemed to permit the Company or the Company Board to effect a Company Change in Recommendation except in accordance with Section 5.2(f) or Section 5.2(g).

5.3 Filings; Other Actions; Notification.

(a) The Company and Parent shall, subject to Sections 5.2, cooperate with each other and use, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use, their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws and Judgments to consummate and make effective the Offer and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as expeditiously as possible, including (i) preparing and filing all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings (and in any event, by filing within five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement) the notifications, filings and other information required to be filed under the HSR Act and to obtain as expeditiously as possible all Consents, registrations, expirations of waiting periods and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this

Agreement, (ii) satisfying the conditions to consummating the Merger, (iii) defending any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Offer and/or the Merger, (iv) obtaining (and cooperating with each other in obtaining) any Consent or any exemption by, any non-governmental third party, in each case, to the extent necessary, proper or advisable in connection with the Offer and the Merger, (v) satisfying the conditions and obligations with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company to the extent necessary to consummate the Merger, (vi) submitting any filings or notifications to the U.S. Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls required under Section 122.4 of the ITAR, and (vii) executing and delivering any reasonable additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall be responsible for the payment of all filing fees payable to any Governmental Entity in connection with clauses (i) and (vi).

(b) Subject to Section 5.3(c), in the event that the Parties receive a request for information or documentary material pursuant to the HSR Act (a “Second Request”), unless otherwise agreed to by the Company, the Parties will use their reasonable best efforts to submit an appropriate response to, and to certify compliance with, such Second Request as promptly as practicable, and counsel for both Parties will closely cooperate during the entirety of any such Second Request review process. Neither Party shall agree to extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity to delay the transactions contemplated hereby except with the prior written consent of the other Party. None of the Parties shall knowingly take, cause or permit to be taken or omit to take any action which such Party reasonably expects is likely to materially delay or prevent consummation of the contemplated transactions, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties.

(c) Parent and the Company shall cooperate with respect to the Antitrust Laws and shall have joint decision making authority with respect to obtaining the required Consents under the Antitrust Laws and otherwise hereunder, including pursuant to this Section 5.3. No Party or its counsel shall independently participate in any substantive call or meeting relating to the Antitrust Laws with any Governmental Entity in respect of such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without giving the other Party or its counsel prior notice of such call or meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and/or participate. In furtherance of the foregoing and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) each Party shall notify the other, as far in advance as practicable, of any filing or material or substantive communication or inquiry it or any of its Subsidiaries intends to make with any Governmental Entity relating to the matters that are the subject of this Section 5.3, (ii) prior to submitting any such filing or making any such communication or inquiry, such Party shall provide the other Party and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review, and shall consider in good faith the comments of the other Party in connection with, any such filing, communication or inquiry, (iii) promptly following the submission of such filing or making such communication or inquiry, provide the other Party with a copy of any such filing or, if in written form, communication or inquiry and (iv) consult with the other Party in connection with any inquiry, hearing, investigation or litigation by, or negotiations with, any Governmental Entity relating to the Offer and/or the Merger, including the scheduling of, and strategic planning for, any meetings with any Governmental Entity relating thereto. In exercising the foregoing cooperation rights, the Company and Parent each shall act reasonably, in good faith and as promptly as

reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, materials provided pursuant to this Section 5.3 may be reasonably redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, the Offer and the Merger, (B) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, (C) as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns or (D) as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the Parties contained in this Section 5.3, each of the Parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity in connection with the Applicable Antitrust Laws and to avoid the entry of, or effect the dissolution of, any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. For the purposes of this Section 5.3(d), “reasonable best efforts” shall mean taking any and all actions necessary to obtain the Consents or waiting period expirations of any Governmental Entity in connection with the Applicable Antitrust Laws required to consummate the Offer and the Merger prior to the Outside Date, including (i) proposing, negotiating, committing to, effecting and agreeing to, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license, hold separate, and other disposition of the businesses, assets, products or equity interests of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ other businesses, assets, products or equity interests now owned or hereafter acquired by Parent, (ii) creating, terminating, or amending any existing relationships, ventures, contractual rights or obligations of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, (iii) otherwise taking or committing to any action that would limit Parent’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain or hold, directly or indirectly, any businesses, assets, products or equity interests of Parent or the Company (including any of their respective Subsidiaries) and (iv) making, or causing any Subsidiaries to make, any commitment, or committing to (or causing any Subsidiaries to commit to) make any commitment (to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Applicable Antitrust Laws) regarding the future operations of Parent or the Company (including any of their respective Subsidiaries) (the “Regulatory Actions”). Nothing in this Section 5.3 shall require Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries to take or agree to take any action with respect to its business or operations unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Closing. The Parties shall jointly control the process and strategy for pursuing any such Regulatory Actions.

(e) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the Parties contained in this Section 5.3, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the Offer and/or the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Law, each of the Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Offer and/or the Merger.

(f) Information. The Company and Parent each shall, upon request by the other, promptly furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or

advisable in connection with the Offer Documents and any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) Status. The Company and Parent each shall keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notice or other communications received by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect to the Offer and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than immaterial communications.

5.4 Access; Consultation. (a) Upon reasonable notice, and except as may otherwise be required by applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, afford Parent and Parent’s Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to the Company’s, and each of the Company Subsidiaries’ employees, properties, assets, books, records and contracts and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Parent all information concerning its or any of its Subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities, capital stock, business and personnel as may reasonably be requested by Parent or Parent’s Representatives, including using commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Parent and its Representatives in connection with the provision of customary information regarding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as reasonably requested by Parent to the extent required by its bank credit facilities (subject to the confidentiality provisions contained therein) for delivery of certificates and information relating to acquisitions; provided, that no investigation pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company; and provided, further that the foregoing shall not require the Company to permit any invasive environmental sampling or to disclose any information pursuant to this Section 5.4 to the extent that in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Company (after consultation with outside counsel) (i) any applicable Law requires the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information, (ii) in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Company, the information is subject to confidentiality obligations to a third party or (iii) disclosure of any such information or document would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege; provided, further that with respect to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 5.4(a), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (1) obtain the required consent of any such third party to provide such inspection or disclosure, (2) develop an alternative to providing such information so as to address such matters that is reasonably acceptable to Parent and (3) in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to permit the disclosure of such information in a manner to reasonably remove the basis for the objection, including by arrangement of appropriate clean room procedures, redaction or entry into a customary joint defense agreement with respect to any information to be so provided, if the Parties determine that doing so would reasonably permit the disclosure of such information without violating applicable Law or confidentiality obligations or jeopardizing such privilege. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company. All requests for information made pursuant to this

Section 5.4 shall be directed to an executive officer of the Company, or such Person as may be designated by any such executive officer.

(b) The Company, as it deems advisable and necessary, may reasonably designate competitively sensitive material provided to the other as “Outside Counsel Only Material” or with similar restrictions. Such material and the information contained therein shall be given only to the legal counsel of Parent, or otherwise as the restriction indicates, and be subject to any additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement between the Parties. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. To the extent that any of the information or material furnished pursuant to this Section 5.4 or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement may include material subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, the Parties understand and agree that they have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is their desire, intention and mutual understanding that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. All such information that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine.

(c) Each of the Company and Parent shall give prompt notice to one another of any Effect that would reasonably be likely to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect (as applicable), or of any reasonably likely failure of any condition to Parent’s or the Company’s obligations to effect the Merger (as applicable).

5.5 Stock Exchange De-listing and De-registration. The Company shall take all actions necessary to permit the Shares and any other security issued by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and listed on NASDAQ to be de-listed from NASDAQ and de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as possible following the Effective Time.

5.6 Publicity. The initial press release with respect to the entry into this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint press release and thereafter the Company and Parent shall consult with each other and obtain the other Party’s written consent prior to issuing or making, and provide each other the reasonable opportunity to review and comment on, any press releases or other public announcements with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including internal announcements to employees of the Company) and any filings with any third party and/or any Governmental Entity (including any national securities exchange) with respect thereto, and shall incorporate any comments reasonably proposed by the other Party, except (a) as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange (in which case the disclosing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other Party reasonable time to review and comment thereon and shall incorporate any comments reasonably proposed), (b) any press release or public statement that in the good faith judgment of the applicable Party is consistent with prior press releases issued or public statements made in compliance with this Section 5.6 or (c) with

respect to any Company Change in Recommendation made in accordance with this Agreement or Parent’s response thereto.

5.7 Employee Benefits.

(a) Parent agrees that each employee of the Company or a Company Subsidiary who continues to remain employed with the Company or its Affiliates following the Effective Time (a “Continuing Employee”) shall, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Time (the “Continuation Period”), be provided with (i) an annual rate of base salary or base wage that is no less favorable than the base salary or base wages provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) target annual cash bonus opportunities that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the target annual cash bonus opportunities provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and, (iii) to the extent such Continuing Employee was provided a long-term incentive opportunity in the Company’s 2019 fiscal year, a long-term incentive opportunity in Parent’s fiscal year 2020 with a grant date fair value that is consistent with the guidelines set forth on Section 5.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Parent agrees that Continuing Employees shall, during the Continuation Period, be provided with retirement, welfare and other employee benefits (excluding long term incentive opportunities) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to such Continuing Employees as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Parent shall provide or shall cause to be provided the severance payments and benefits set forth on Section 5.7(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter to any Continuing Employee who is laid off, made redundant or whose employment is otherwise involuntarily terminated without cause during the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date (the “Involuntarily Terminated Employees”), except with respect to Involuntarily Terminated Employees who have individualized agreements with the Company or a Company Subsidiary, in which case the terms of such agreements shall remain in force. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Involuntarily Terminated Employee (other than those who are party to the aforementioned individualized agreements) shall receive the severance payments and benefits set forth in the severance plans and arrangements of Parent or its Affiliates in which such Involuntarily Terminated Employee is eligible to participate following the Closing Date (the “Parent Severance”) in lieu of such Involuntarily Terminated Employee’s severance entitlements set forth in the previous sentence (the “Company Severance”) if the Company Severance is less favorable in the aggregate than the Parent Severance.

(c) In the event that the Closing Date occurs in 2019, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, pay to (1) each Continuing Employee who remains employed with Parent, the Surviving Company or their respective Affiliates through September 30, 2019 and (2) each Involuntarily Terminated Employee who terminates employment on or before September 30, 2019 (the “Terminated Employees”), a bonus for the 2019 performance period (the “2019 Annual Bonus”) that is equal to the 2019 Annual Bonus that such Continuing Employee would have been entitled to receive under the Company Plans based on the Continuing Employee’s actual performance as determined reasonably and in good faith by Parent

and prorated to reflect the portion of the 2019 performance period through September 30, 2019; provided that, for each Terminated Employee, the 2019 Annual Bonus amount shall be prorated to reflect the portion of the 2019 performance period until the date of such Terminated Employee’s termination of employment; provided, further, that the foregoing treatment upon termination of employment shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of a prorated bonus amount provided to such Terminated Employee under the terms of the applicable Company Plan. The 2019 Annual Bonuses shall be paid at the same time or times that Parent or the Surviving Company pay annual bonuses in respect of the 2019 performance period to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries, but in no event later than December 31, 2019. Following the Effective Time, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Company to honor all Company Plans (other than those providing for long term incentive opportunities), in accordance with their terms, provided, that, effective as of September 30, 2019, the Continuing Employees then participating in the Company’s annual cash bonus plan shall cease participation therein, and such Continuing Employees shall thereafter commence participation in Parent’s annual cash bonus plan.

(d) Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Company or its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause its insurance carriers to waive, all pre-existing conditions, exclusions or waiting periods that could otherwise apply to any Continuing Employee under the benefit plans provided for such Continuing Employee following the Closing, except to the extent such conditions, exclusions or waiting periods were applicable to the Continuing Employee prior to the Effective Time. With respect to the plan year during which the Effective Time occurs, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each Continuing Employee with credit for deductibles and out-of-pocket requirements paid prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any Parent plan in which such Continuing Employee is eligible to participate following the Closing Date.

(e) From and after the Closing Date, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Company or its Affiliates to provide credit to Continuing Employees for their service recognized by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility, vesting, benefits, continuous service, determination of service awards, vacation, paid time off, and severance entitlements to the same extent and for the same purposes as such service was credited under the Company Plans, provided, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits.

(f) The then-current purchase period under the ESPP (the “Current Purchase Period”) will end on June 28, 2019; provided, that if the Effective Time is prior to June 28, 2019, the Company will end the Current Purchase Period on a specified trading day occurring at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Effective Time occurs; (ii) the Company shall cause each ESPP participant’s accumulated contributions under the ESPP to be used to purchase Shares in accordance with the ESPP as of the end of the Current Purchase Period; and (iii) in all events, the Company shall terminate the ESPP prior to the Effective Time. Promptly after the date hereof, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to limit any increase of any participant’s contribution rate in the ESPP and shall not permit new employees to enroll in the ESPP.

(g) The provisions of this Section 5.7 are solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement, and no Continuing Employee, or any other employee of the Company, Parent, the Surviving Company or any respective Affiliate thereof (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 5.7 shall create such rights in any such persons. Nothing herein shall (i) create any right in any employee, including any Continuing Employee to continued employment by the Company, Parent, the Surviving Company, or any respective Affiliate thereof or (ii) require the Company, Parent, the Surviving Company, or any respective Affiliate thereof to continue any Company Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination of any Company Plan after the Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 5.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed as an amendment to any benefit plan of the Company, the Surviving Company or any respective Affiliate.

5.8 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.3 and 7.5, whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such expense.

5.9 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. (a) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company determined as of the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Parties”), against any costs or expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including this Agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated hereby)), arising out of the fact that such Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another Person prior to the Effective Time, in each case, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted under Maryland Law, any applicable indemnification agreement in effect on the date of this Agreement (and made available to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement) to which such Person is a party, the Company Charter or Company Bylaws in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify such Person (and Parent and the Surviving Company shall also advance expenses as incurred in the defense of any Proceedings with respect to the matters subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.9(a) to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided, that the Person to whom expenses are advanced shall provide an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification). In the event of any Proceeding pursuant to which any Person may claim indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.9(a), (i) the Surviving Company may (at its option) control the defense thereof and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in such Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Surviving Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Parent shall ensure that the organizational documents of the Surviving Company shall, for a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries than are presently set forth

in the Company Charter and Company Bylaws. Any right of indemnification of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified at any time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of such Indemnified Party as provided herein.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall and, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay for “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, employment practices liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby); provided, however that in no event shall the Company expend for such policies an annual premium amount in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance prior to the date of this Agreement. If the Company for any reason fails to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time the D&O Insurance in place as of the date of this Agreement with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement, or the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six (6) year period with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company expend, or Parent or the Surviving Company be required to expend for such policies, an annual amount in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance prior to the date of this Agreement; and, provided, further, that if the premium for such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, the Surviving Company shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. If Parent or any of its successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then and in each such case proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent shall assume all of the obligations of Parent set forth in this Section 5.9.

(c) The provisions of this Section 5.9 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives. The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 5.9 shall be in addition to any rights such individual may have under Maryland Law or, subject to any limitations contained therein, any applicable indemnification agreement to which such Person is a party in effect on the date of this Agreement (and made available to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement), the Company Charter or the Company Bylaws.

(d) Neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual proceeding for which

indemnification has been sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such settlement, compromise or consent.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors or officers, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.9 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

5.10 Takeover Statute. The Company and the Company Board shall use their reasonable best efforts to take all action necessary or reasonably appropriate to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If any state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company and the Company Board shall take all action necessary or appropriate to render such statute or regulation inapplicable to the transactions contemplated hereby and to ensure that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement.

5.11 Control of the Company’s Operations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent directly or indirectly, rights to control or direct the operations of the Company prior to the Acceptance Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision of its operations. Nothing in this Section 5.11 shall limit or affect Parent’s rights under Section 5.1.

5.12 Section 16(b). Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take such further actions, if any, as may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any officer or director of the Company who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act are exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

5.13 Merger Sub Actions. Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Parties, Parent, as sole stockholder of Merger Sub, shall adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger, in accordance with Maryland Law, by written consent. Parent will take all actions necessary to (a) cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Offer and the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and (b) ensure that, prior to the Acceptance Time, Merger Sub shall not conduct any business or make any investments other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement, or incur or guarantee any indebtedness.

5.14 Stockholder Litigation. Each Party shall notify the other Party, in writing and promptly after acquiring knowledge thereof, of any pending or threatened Proceeding related to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby that is brought against such Party, its Subsidiaries and/or any of their respective directors or officers and shall keep the other Party reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis with respect to the status thereof. The Parties agree to cooperate in the defense and settlement of any such litigation, and the Company shall not settle or enter into any negotiations for settlement of any such Proceeding without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Without limiting in any way the Parties’ obligations under Section 5.3, each of the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate in the defense or settlement of any Proceeding contemplated by this Section 5.14 and the Company will give Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of, and consider in good faith Parent’s advice with respect to, such Proceeding.

Prior to the Acceptance Time and to the extent permitted by Law, the Company (acting through the Company Board, its compensation committee or its “independent directors” as defined by Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules, to the extent required) will take all such steps as may be required to cause each agreement, arrangement or understanding that has been or will be entered into by the Company or its Subsidiaries with any of its officers, directors or employees pursuant to which compensation, severance or other benefits is paid to such officer, director or employee to be approved as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act and to otherwise satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange Act. Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any resolutions proposed for adoption by the Company Board or its compensation committee in connection with this Section 5.15 prior to their adoption.

The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach or that the Company or Parent otherwise have an adequate remedy at law.
