ARTICLE I THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, (i) Merger Sub shall be merged (the “Merger”) with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, (ii) the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger and shall continue to be governed by the DGCL and (iii) the separate corporate existence of the Company with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger. The corporation surviving the Merger is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

(b) At the Effective Time, (i) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read in the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement, with the name of the Surviving Corporation being “MAM Software Group, Inc.,” until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law, subject to the limitations of Section 5.7(c), and (ii) the Bylaws of the Company shall be amended in their entirety to read in the form of Exhibit B to this Agreement, and as so amended and restated, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law, subject to the limitations of Section 5.7(c).

(c) At the Effective Time, (i) the members of the Board of Directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the members of the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, to serve until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified and (ii) the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, to serve until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly appointed.

(d) If at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall determine, in its sole discretion, or shall be advised, that any deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Merger Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Merger Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each of such corporations or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

1.2 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Article VII, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and pursuant to the DGCL, and unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place as soon as practicable after, but in any event no later than three (3) Business Days after, the date of the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied only at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of those conditions at the Closing), by remote exchange of signatures and documents or at such other place or on such other date and time as Parent and the Company may mutually agree in writing (the date on which the Closing occurs being the “Closing Date”).

1.3 Effective Time. On the Closing Date, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause the Merger to be effective by causing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form (i) as is reasonably satisfactory to both Parent and the Company, and (ii) as required by, and to be executed and filed in accordance with, the applicable provisions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time when the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be agreed to by the Parent and the Company in writing and set forth in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

1.4 Closing Deliverables. At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent written resignations of those managers, directors, and officers of the Company, in each case as set forth on Schedule 1.4.

ARTICLE II EFFECT OF MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

2.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub or the Company:

(a) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (“Surviving Corporation Stock”), and all such shares together with any shares issued in respect of Converted Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(b) shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation or Conversion of Certain Shares. Each share of Common Stock owned by the Company as treasury stock, or owned by Parent Sub or Merger Sub, in each case immediately before the Effective Time (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”), shall be canceled automatically, be extinguished and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid for those Excluded Shares. Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned by Parent or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent (other than Parent Sub or Merger Sub) or of the Company (the “Converted Shares”) shall be converted into such number of shares of Surviving Corporation Stock such that the ownership percentage of any such Subsidiary in the Surviving Corporation shall equal the ownership percentage of such Subsidiary in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(i) Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares, Converted Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted by virtue of the Merger automatically into and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive $12.12 payable net to the seller in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”) subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law, in accordance with Section 2.2.

(ii) All shares of Common Stock that have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) shall be canceled automatically and shall be extinguished and cease to exist, and the holders of (A) certificates which immediately before the Effective Time represented such Shares (the “Certificates”) or (B) Shares represented by book-entry immediately before the Effective Time (the “Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect to those Shares, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2 and (subject to Section 5.1) any dividends or other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been authorized by the Company and which are payable but remain unpaid at the Effective Time.

(d) Equitable Adjustment. If at any time during the period between the Agreement Date and the Effective Time, any change in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall occur as a result of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other similar change with respect to the Common Stock, then the Merger Consideration and any other amount based on the number of shares of Common Stock shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.1(d) shall be construed to permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any other Person to take any action that is otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

2.2 Surrender of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares.

(a) Paying Agent. Not less than three (3) Business Days before the Effective Time, Parent shall (i) select a bank or trust company, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as agent for the Company Stockholders to receive the aggregate Merger Consideration to which they shall have become entitled to pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) (the “Paying Agent”), (ii) enter into a depositary and paying agent agreement with the Paying and Depositary Agent in customary form reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company shall be responsible for all Expenses of the Paying Agent.

(b) Payment Fund. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, for payment in accordance with this Article II through the Paying Agent, sufficient funds for the payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i)) (excluding payments with respect to Dissenting Shares, Converted Shares and Excluded Shares). Such funds provided to the Paying Agent are referred to as the “Payment Fund.” The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid in the Merger.

(i) Letter of Transmittal. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, but no later than five (5) Business Days following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person who was, at the Effective Time and other than in respect of any Excluded Shares or Converted Shares, a holder of record of Shares converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (along with any other terms and provisions as Parent and the Company may mutually agree), specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such holder’s Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof, in accordance with Section 2.2(d), if applicable) and a properly completed (and validly executed) letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon a customary agent’s message, and (B) instructions for surrendering such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration (less any required withholding of Taxes) issuable and payable in respect of such Shares pursuant to Section 2.1.

(ii) Surrender of Shares. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.2(d), if applicable) or of a Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and any other documents reasonably required pursuant to the instructions thereto or reasonably required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay in exchange therefor, the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the number of Shares formerly evidenced by such Certificates or such BookEntry Shares less any required withholding of Taxes. Any Certificates and Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall be canceled immediately. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any amount payable upon surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

(iii) Unregistered Transferees. If any Merger Consideration is to be paid and issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, then the Merger Consideration may be paid or issued to such a transferee so long as (A) the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, shall be properly endorsed and presented to the Paying Agent or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and is accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment or issuance (1) pays any applicable transfer Taxes or (2) establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent and the Paying Agent that all such transfer Taxes have already been paid or are not applicable. None of Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall have any liability for the transfer and other similar Taxes described in this Section 2.2(c) under any circumstance. Payment of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(iv) No Other Rights. Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.2(c), each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share in respect of Shares converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation (subject to Section 5.1) to pay any dividends or other distributions with a record and payment date prior to the Effective Time which may have been authorized by the Company and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time. The Merger Consideration paid and issued upon the surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Certificate or Book-Entry Share and, in the case of a Certificate, the Shares formerly represented by it.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder of the Shares formerly represented by the Stock Certificate claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by the Surviving Corporation (including if requested by the Paying Agent), the execution and delivery by such Person of a customary indemnity agreement to provide indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall pay (less any amounts entitles to be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.3(f)) the Merger Consideration to such Person in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Stock Certificate, as contemplated by this Article II.

(e) No Further Transfers. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the Shares that were outstanding immediately before the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(f) Required Withholding. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration and any amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement (including any amounts payable under Section 2.3 with respect to the cancellation of Company Equity Awards) such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, those amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made for all purposes under this Agreement.

(g) No Liability. None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official under any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(h) Investment of Payment Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest the Payment Fund as directed by Parent; provided, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, or in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or a combination of the foregoing and, in any such case, no such instrument shall have a maturity exceeding three (3) months. Any such investment shall be for the benefit, and at the risk, of Parent, and any interest or other income resulting from such investment shall be for the benefit of Parent, and any amounts in excess of the aggregate amounts payable under Section 2.1(c)(i) and Section 2.2 shall be returned to Parent in accordance with Section 2.2(i); provided, that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time and Parent shall promptly provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to promptly provide, additional funds to the Paying Agent for the benefit of such holders of Shares in the amount of any such losses to the extent necessary to satisfy the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under Section 2.1(c)(i) and Section 2.2.

(i) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Paying Agent to Parent upon demand. Thereafter, any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who has not complied with this Article II shall look only to Parent, which shall remain responsible for payment of the applicable Merger Consideration. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

2.3 Company Equity Awards.

(a) EMI Options. In the event that the EMI Optionholder has not exercised all of the EMI Options that may be exercised, pursuant to the terms of the EMI Option Agreements, on or prior to 5:00 pm (Eastern Time) on the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “EMI Option Exercise Deadline”), no further exercise of the EMI Options shall be permitted, after the EMI Option Exercise Deadline, but, instead, as of the Effective Time, each EMI Option that is outstanding immediately before the Effective Time, whether or not then exercisable or vested, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of that EMI Option, shall be canceled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation promptly following the Effective Time an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the EMI Option Consideration (as defined below) multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to such EMI Option immediately before the Effective Time; provided, that any such EMI Option with a per share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be canceled for no consideration. “EMI Option Consideration” means the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of the applicable EMI Option.

(b) Company Restricted Shares. As of the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Share that is outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (including, for the purposes hereof, 50,256 Restricted Shares issued to directors of the Company), by virtue of the Merger and without any action by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of that Company Restricted Share shall be vested and all restrictions thereon shall lapse in full as of immediately before the Effective Time; and each such Company Restricted Share shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation an amount in cash, without interest, equal in value to the Merger Consideration (the “Restricted Share Consideration”).

(c) Company ESPP. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee of the Company Board administering the MAM Software Group, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the MAM Software Group Share Incentive Plan (each, a “Company ESPP”)) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to provide that each Company ESPP (i) shall be suspended as of the date of this Agreement and no offering period shall be commenced after the date of this Agreement unless the Merger is not consummated, (ii) each participant’s outstanding right to purchase Shares under each Company ESPP shall terminate as of the date of this Agreement, (iii) all amounts allocated to each participant’s account under each Company ESPP, as of the Agreement Date, shall thereupon be returned to each such participant, and (iv) each Company ESPP shall terminate immediately prior to the day on which the Effective Time occurs (if not earlier terminated by the Company Board).

(d) Withholding; Termination of Company Equity Plans. The payment of the amounts set forth in Section 2.3(a) and Section 2.3(b) in respect of the Company Equity Awards shall be reduced by any income or employment Tax withholding required under the Code or any applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that any amounts are so withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, those amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the holder of that Company Equity Award for all purposes under this Agreement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts so that all Company Equity Awards shall be canceled and all Company Equity Plans shall terminate at the Effective Time.

(e) Maintenance of Sufficient Funds. The Surviving Corporation shall, at all times from and after the Effective Time, maintain sufficient liquid funds to satisfy its obligations to holders of Company Equity Awards pursuant to this Section 2.3.

(f) Payment of EMI Option Consideration and Restricted Share Consideration. On the next (occurring at least five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date) scheduled payroll distribution date (consistent with the Company’s past practice) following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay through its payroll system (i) to each applicable holder of an EMI Option, in such amount due and payable to such holder the EMI Option Consideration pursuant to Section 2.3(a) in respect of such EMI Option and (ii) to each applicable holder of a Company Restricted Share (other than with respect to any Company Restricted Shares held by directors of the Company Board who are not also employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, which, for clarity, will be paid in accordance with the procedures for Common Stock), in such amount due and payable to such holder the Restricted Shares Consideration pursuant to Section 2.3(b) in respect of such Company Restricted Share.

2.4 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.4), any shares of Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and for which the holder thereof is entitled to demand and properly demands the appraisal of such shares in accordance with, and complies in all respects with, the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1(c) but instead shall be entitled to payment of the value of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL. At the Effective Time, (A) all Dissenting Shares shall be canceled, extinguished and cease to exist and (B) the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to them under the DGCL.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares effectively withdraws or loses such appraisal rights (through failure to perfect such appraisal rights or otherwise), then that holder’s Shares (i) shall be deemed no longer to be Dissenting Shares and (ii) shall be treated as if they had been converted automatically at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate formerly representing such shares or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal, in each case, in accordance with Section 2.2.

(c) The Company shall give Parent prompt notice (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) of any written demands for appraisal of any Shares, any withdrawals or attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instrument served on the Company relating to Company Stockholders’ appraisal rights. Parent shall have the opportunity and right to (i) at Parent’s election, to direct, control or participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands, withdrawals or attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other actions with respect of Company Stockholders’ rights for appraisal, and (ii) have a reasonable opportunity to review, and have the Company consider in good faith all reasonable comments to, any written document to be given to any third party or Governmental Authority in connection therewith. The Company shall not offer to make or make any payment with respect to any such demands for appraisal, or compromise or settle or offer to compromise or settle, any such demands for appraisal, or approve any withdrawal of such demands or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise comply with the provisions under Section 262 of the DGCL, or commit or agree to do any of the foregoing, without the prior written consent of Parent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Company, require the Company to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, or compromise or settle or offer to compromise or settle, any such demands for appraisal or commit or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Nothing in this Section 5.3, Section 5.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall restrict or prohibit any disclosure made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

5.4 Confidentiality of Parent and Merger Sub. Parent and Merger Sub shall, and Parent and Merger Sub shall cause their Subsidiaries and representatives (as such term is defined in the Nondisclosure Agreement) to, treat all nonpublic information obtained in connection with this Agreement (including in connection with the access provisions of Section 5.5 hereof) and the transactions contemplated hereby as confidential in accordance with the terms of the Nondisclosure Agreement by and between the Company and Parent dated May 17, 2019 (the “Nondisclosure Agreement”). The Nondisclosure Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time the Nondisclosure Agreement shall terminate. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Nondisclosure Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, subject to Section 5.5 hereafter.

5.5 Access to Information. Subject to Section 5.4 hereof, from the Agreement Date until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, afford the Representatives and other agents of Parent (provided, that Parent shall cause such Representatives and other agents to treat any information gained thereby as confidential) reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance written notice, and subject to reasonable rules and regulations of the Company, to (a) the Specified Company Employees and, with the prior written consent of a Specified Company Employee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), any of the other employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to which any Specified Company Employee provides his consent, (b) the properties, offices and other facilities of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and (c) to the extent not prohibited by Law, all books and records, and all financial, operating, Tax and other data and information, with respect to the Business that are in the possession of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, in each case, as Parent may reasonably request; provided, however, (i) if the Company so requires, Parent’s representatives conducting any physical inspection of the properties, offices or other facilities of the Company or one of the Company Subsidiaries shall be accompanied by one or more representatives of the Company and (ii) the Company shall not be required to provide any such access to the extent that it would require the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to (A) disclose information subject to attorney-client privilege as advised by the Company’s outside counsel (after taking into account the potential for a “continuity of interest” or similar agreement; provided, that, in any event, the Company will disclose to Parent that it is withholding information in reliance upon this Section 5.5), (B) disclose information that would cause significant competitive harm to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, (C) violate applicable Law, or (D) violate any confidentiality obligations to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is bound; provided, that the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to provide any such information in a manner and to the maximum extent such clauses (A) through (D) shall not apply. All requests for such access shall be directed to a Specified Company Employee or such other Person as the Company may designate in writing to Parent from time to time. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, prior to the Closing, without the express prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, neither Parent nor Merger Sub, nor any of their Representatives or other agents shall contact any customers to, or vendors or suppliers of, the Company, or shall have any right to perform sampling or any invasive or subsurface investigations of any properties or facilities of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. In exercising its rights hereunder, Parent shall, and shall cause its advisors, representatives, officers, directors, employees, auditors and other agents to conduct themselves so as not to unreasonably interfere in the conduct of the Business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Closing.

5.6 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill as promptly as practicable the conditions precedent to the Parties’ obligations hereunder that are within their respective control and to seek any third-party consents and give any notices to third parties that may be required pursuant to the terms of any Contract (provided, that the Company shall not pay or agree to pay any amounts or waive any rights or amend or modify any terms in order to obtain such third-party consents without the prior written consent of Parent).

5.7 Director and Officer Liability; Indemnification.

(a) After the Effective Time, all rights to exculpation, indemnification and reimbursement and advancement of expenses, and all limitations on liability, existing in favor of any current or former officer or member of the board of directors (or comparable governing body) of the Company and/or any of the Company Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”), as provided in the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, and/or in any agreements or arrangements of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 5.7(a) providing for similar rights and limitations in favor of any of the Company Indemnitees, in any such case as in effect as of immediately prior to the Agreement Date, shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue in full force and effect, and the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries shall honor all such rights and limitations after the Effective Time in accordance with their terms. All such rights of exculpation, indemnification and reimbursement and advancement of expenses, and all such limitations on liability, shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Company Indemnitee without the consent of such affected Company Indemnitee (it being expressly agreed that the Company Indemnitees shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.7).

(b) At the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, obtain, maintain and fully pay for irrevocable “tail” officers’ and directors’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policies naming the Company Indemnitees as direct beneficiaries with a claims period of at least six (6) years after the Closing Date in respect of acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, such insurance policies to contain terms with respect to coverage and to be in an amount not less favorable than the officers’ and directors’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policies maintained by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as in effect on the Agreement Date and shall be reviewed by, and approved in advance by, the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). In satisfying its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7(b), the Surviving Corporation will not be obligated to pay an aggregate premium in excess of 300% of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such 300% amount, the “Maximum Premium”). If the aggregate annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Premium, then the Surviving Corporation will be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Premium from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier.

(c) The certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of former directors and officers than are presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Company in effect as of the Agreement Date, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that is adverse to an Company Indemnitee for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals.

(d) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective successors or assigns, (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or its applicable Subsidiary (or their respective successors and assigns) shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.7.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any proceeding (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) with respect to which a Company Indemnitee would be entitled to rights to exculpation, indemnification, reimbursement and advancement of expenses and any limitations on liability under the applicable certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, and/or in any agreements or arrangements of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries providing for similar rights and limitations in favor of any of the Company Indemnitees, is made against any Company Indemnitee on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions and benefits of this Section 5.7 shall continue in full effect until the final disposition of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(f) The indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a Company Indemnitee is entitled, whether pursuant to applicable Law or Contract. The provisions of this Section 5.7 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that may be to the contrary, and expressly are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Company Indemnitees and their respective heirs and legal representatives.

5.8 Updates and Notifications.

(a) At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement, pursuant to the provisions of Article ARTICLE VII, and the Effective Time, the Company will give prompt written notice to Parent upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure by the Company to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement, in each case if and only to the extent that such untruth, inaccuracy, or failure would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger to fail to be satisfied at the Closing, except that no such notification will affect or be deemed to modify any representation, warranty covenant or agreement of the Company set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger or the remedies available to the Parties under this Agreement.

(b) At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement, pursuant to the provisions of Article ARTICLE VII, and the Effective Time, Parent will give prompt written notice to the Company upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure by Parent or Merger Sub to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement, in each case if and only to the extent that such untruth, inaccuracy or failure would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the Merger to fail to be satisfied at the Closing, except that no such notification will affect or be deemed to modify any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the Merger or the remedies available to the Parties under this Agreement.

5.9 WARN Act. Schedule 5.9 provides a list of all employees of the Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries who have experienced, or to the Knowledge of the Company, will experience, an “employment loss” or “layoff” (as those terms are defined in the federal Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification Act, or any analogous state or local Law (collectively, the “WARN Act”)) at any time during the ninety (90) days prior to the Agreement Date. Such list shall include each such employee’s (a) name, (b) date of hire, (c) position, (d) date of employment loss or layoff and (e) site of employment. No earlier than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall update Schedule 5.9 to include all employees of the Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries who have experienced, or to the Knowledge of the Company, will experience, an “employment loss” or “layoff” at any time during the ninety (90) days prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries not to, at any time after the Agreement Date and before the Closing Date, without complying with the notice requirements and other requirements of the WARN Act, effectuate (i) a “plant closing” (as defined in the WARN Act) affecting any site of employment or one or more facilities or operating units within any site of employment of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries; (ii) a “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) at any site of employment of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries; or (iii) any similar action under the WARN Act requiring notice to employees in the event of an employment loss or layoff. Parent shall be liable for any WARN Act obligations and liability relating thereto after the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 5.9 shall survive the Closing.

5.10 No Control of Business. Except as expressly set forth herein, Parent or Merger Sub shall not have the right, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct any aspect of the Company’s or the Company Subsidiaries’ respective business, assets and operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and the Company Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

5.11 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will take such further actions, if any, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to ensure that the dispositions of Equity Securities of the Company (including any 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.

5.12 Nasdaq Delisting; Exchange Act Deregistration. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company (in cooperation with Parent) shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of Nasdaq to enable the delisting by the Surviving Corporation of the Common Stock from Nasdaq and the deregistration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

5.13 Employment and Company Benefits.

(a) During the one (1) year period immediately following the Closing Date (or until the termination of employment of the relevant Company Employee, if sooner), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide to each Company Employee, (i) substantially similar or greater in the aggregate base salary and target annual cash bonus opportunity (excluding cash long-term incentive and other broad-based equity-based incentive compensation) either (at Parent’s election in its sole discretion) (A) provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date or (B) provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries and (ii) other employee benefits (excluding deferred compensation, defined benefit and cash long-term incentive and equity or equity-based incentive opportunities and excluding any severance benefits and post termination or retiree health or welfare benefits (or, if earlier, the termination date of an applicable Company Employee)) that, with respect to each Company Employee, are substantially similar or greater in the aggregate to the benefits provided either (at Parent’s election in its sole discretion) (A) to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date under the Company Benefit Plans set forth on Schedule 3.18(a) or (B) provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing, as of the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, comply with the terms of all employment agreements covering Company Employees. “Company Employee” means any employee of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries immediately following the Closing.

(b) The Surviving Corporation shall provide each Company Employee whose employment is involuntarily terminated other than for cause during the one (1) year period immediately following the Closing Date with severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits which such employee would have received with respect to such termination following the severance practices of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and employment agreements covering Company Employees as set forth on Schedule 3.14(a).

(c) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation, to give Company Employees full service credit with the Company and Company Subsidiaries for purposes of (i) eligibility and vesting (other than vesting of future equity awards) under a continuing Company Benefit Plan or any successor arrangement of Parent or an Affiliate to a Company Benefit Plan in which such employees participate after the Closing during the plan year in which Closing occurs and (ii) determination of benefit levels under any continuing Company Benefit Plan or any successor arrangement of Parent or an Affiliate to a Company Benefit Plan providing vacation, paid time off and severance benefits during the plan year in which Closing occurs, in each case to the extent that such service would have been recognized by the Company Benefit Plan prior to Closing and except where such credit would result in a duplication of benefits or result in credit for periods not recognized under the terms of a similar Parent or Affiliate benefit arrangement for an employee of Parent or an Affiliate.

(d) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to take commercially reasonable efforts to, for the plan year in which the Closing occurs, use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations otherwise applicable to Company Employees and their eligible dependents under any plan of Parent or any of its Affiliates that provides health benefits in which Company Employees participate following the Closing, other than any limitations that were in effect with respect to such employees as of the Closing Date under the analogous Company Benefit Plan; (ii) honor any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums incurred by the Company Employees and their eligible dependents under the health plans in which they participated immediately prior to the Closing Date during the portion of the calendar year prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under health plans of Parent or any of its Affiliates in which they are eligible to participate after the Closing Date in the same plan year in which such deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums were incurred; and (iii) waive any health plan waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Company Employee and his or her eligible dependents on or after the Closing Date, in each case to the extent such Company Employee or eligible dependent had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous Company Benefit Plan prior to the Closing Date.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing contained herein, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Company Employee or any other Person any benefits under any benefit plans, programs, policies or other arrangements, and the provisions of this Section 5.13 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall (i) create any right in any employee of the Company to continued employment by Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates, or any particular term or condition of service or employment, or preclude the ability of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates from terminating the employment or service of any employee or other Person for any or no reason; (ii) require Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to continue any Company Benefit Plan or other compensation plan, program, contract, policy, agreement or arrangement or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Closing Date; (iii) confer upon any Company Employee or other Person any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, including any right as a third party beneficiary; or (iv) be treated as an establishment of or adoption of or amendment to any particular employee benefit plan or benefit or compensation plan, program, contract, policy, agreement or arrangement of Parent or the Company or any of their Affiliates.

(f) The Company shall, at least one (1) day prior to the Closing Date, adopt written resolutions (or take other necessary and appropriate action) to terminate the Company’s 401(k) plan and to fully vest all participants under such 401(k) plan, such termination and vesting to be effective no later than the day preceding the Closing Date; provided, however, that the termination of such 401(k) plan may be made contingent upon the Closing. The Company shall provide Parent with an advance copy of such proposed resolutions (any related documents) and a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon prior to adoption or execution. Parent agrees to see to, or agrees that Surviving Corporation will see to, the liquidation of any such terminated 401(k) plan as soon as reasonably practicable. Parent shall further cause its 401(k) plan to accept rollover contributions of all amounts distributed from the Company’s 401(k) plan, including any loans receivable.

(g) The Company shall cause each officer named in Schedule 5.13(g) to, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Agreement Date (and in any event prior to Closing) execute and deliver in favor of the Company a valid agreement pursuant to which such officer agrees (i) that he is personally responsible for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes that are due, or may be due, in connection with Company Equity Awards that have been issued to such person and (ii) to indemnify the Company and hold the Company harmless from any and all taxes, penalties and/or other assessments that the Company is, or may become, obligated to pay on account of such Company Equity Awards.

5.14 Stockholder Litigation. Unless and until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of Article ARTICLE VII hereafter, and except to the extent as would be reasonably expected to violate or result in a loss of any attorney-client privilege, the Company shall promptly notify Parent in writing of any stockholder litigation that is brought, or, to the Knowledge of the Company, is threatened, against the Company or any Company Subsidiary and/or the members of the board of directors or officers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, relating to this Agreement, the Merger and any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and shall on an ongoing basis keep Parent reasonably informed regarding and consult with Parent with respect to any such stockholder litigation; provided, that none of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of its or their respective Representatives shall compromise, settle, come to an arrangement regarding, or make any disclosure requested in connection with, or agree to compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding any such stockholder litigation or consent to the same unless Parent shall have consented in writing. Parent shall have the opportunity and right, at Parent’s sole cost and expense to (i) at Parent’s election, either control or participate in all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to any such stockholder litigation and (ii) have a reasonable opportunity to review, and have the Company consider in good faith all reasonable comments to, any written document to be given to any third party or Governmental Authority in connection therewith.

5.15 Takeover Laws. If any Takeover Law is or may become applicable to the Merger or the other Transactions, the Company and the Company Board shall grant such approvals and take all such actions as are necessary or advisable so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such Law on the Transactions. The approval of the Company Board for purposes of causing any Takeover Laws to be inapplicable to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be irrevocable and unconditional and no Adverse Recommendation Change or other action shall change such approval.

5.16 No Solicitation.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, and shall cause the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any direct or indirect solicitation, knowing encouragement, discussions or negotiations with any Person that may be ongoing with respect to any proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, and shall (i) promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the Agreement Date) request that each Person (and all Affiliates or Representatives of such Person) who has received confidential information or entered into a confidentiality or similar agreement in connection with a potential Acquisition Proposal in the last twelve (12) months prior to the Agreement Date, promptly return or destroy all such confidential information and (ii) immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such Person, its Affiliates or Representatives. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries not to, terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of any existing standstill or confidentiality agreement to which it or any of the Company Subsidiaries is a party, and the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, enforce the provisions of any such agreement; provided, however, that the Company may grant a waiver of, and shall not be obligated to enforce, any such provision if the Company Board (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith, following consultation with Company Counsel and/or any other reputable and nationally-recognized outside legal counsel chosen by the Company, that the failure to grant such waiver would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(b) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.16, during the period between the Agreement Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article ARTICLE VII, the Company agrees that it shall not and shall cause each Company Subsidiary, each of the officers, directors or employees of it or any Company Subsidiary and each of its and their other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, facilitate or knowingly encourage the making of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that could be reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person regarding any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that could be reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) furnish, disclose or make available to any Person any non-public information (x) in connection with, (y) that could reasonably be expected to lead to or (z) for the purpose of initiating, soliciting, facilitating or knowingly encouraging, in each case, any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiries, proposals or offers that could be reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (iv) initiate, facilitate or knowingly encourage any effort or attempt to make an Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiries, proposals or offers that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (v) approve, adopt, endorse, recommend or execute or enter into, or commit to enter into, any Alternative Acquisition Agreement or letter of intent, agreement in principle, memorandum of understanding, expense reimbursement agreement, term sheet or similar agreement, with respect to or in connection with or that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (vi) take any action to exempt any Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates) from the restrictions of any Takeover Laws or the Company’s organizational and other governing documents (including under Section 203 of the DGCL), or adopt a “poison pill” or any similar plan or arrangement or (vii) resolve to do or publicly announce any of the foregoing; provided, however, that, at any time prior to (but not after) the Company Stockholder Approval, in response to a written Acquisition Proposal that has not been withdrawn, which Acquisition Proposal was not solicited by the Company and did not result from a breach of this Section 5.16, subject to compliance with this Section 5.16 and only if (x) the Company Board (1) determines in good faith (after consultation with its reputable and nationally-recognized financial advisors and Company Counsel and/or any other reputable and nationally-recognized outside legal counsel chosen by the Company) that such Acquisition Proposal is, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Proposal, (2) determines in good faith (after consultation with Company Counsel and/or any other reputable and nationally-recognized outside legal counsel chosen by the Company) that its failure to take such actions would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (y) the Company provides written notice to Parent of the determination referenced in clause (x) and (z) the Company receives from such Person an executed Acceptable Nondisclosure Agreement, the Company may (A) furnish information with respect to the Company to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives pursuant to an Acceptable Nondisclosure Agreement (provided, that any such information that is provided or made available to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal shall, to the extent not previously provided to Parent, be provided or made available to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with such information being provided to such Person making such Acquisition Proposal; provided, further, that the Company, any Company Subsidiary, and their respective Representatives shall withhold such portions of the information and data to the extent relating to any pricing or other matters that are highly sensitive or competitive in nature from any Person (and its Affiliates and Representatives) who is a direct competitor, supplier or customer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any Person known to the Company or its financial advisor to be an Affiliate of any of the foregoing, unless and until such Person has certified to the Company in writing that it has substantially completed legal, financial and accounting due diligence (other than with respect to such withheld information and data), in which case, such disclosure shall be pursuant to customary “clean-room” or other appropriate procedures) and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person and its Representatives regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided, that the Company, any Company Subsidiary, and their respective Representatives shall not provide to any such Person who received or had access to non-public information or data concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or a potential Acquisition Proposal in the 30 days prior to the Agreement Date (a “Prior Bidder”) any non-public information or data that has not been provided to Parent by the Company or its Representatives prior to the Agreement Date unless such information or data is material and is as a result of an event, fact or circumstance occurring after the Agreement Date.

(c) The Company shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) calendar day) (i) provide Parent written notice of (A) the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or (B) any inquiries, proposals or offers received by, or any discussions or negotiations sought to be initiated or continued with, or any requests for information regarding, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or of its or their Representatives concerning or that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal and (ii) disclose to Parent the identity of such Person making any such Acquisition Proposal, all terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, if any (and any amendments thereto), and an unredacted copy of, any such Acquisition Proposal or any such inquiry, offer, proposal or request made in writing (or, if made orally, a reasonably detailed description of such Acquisition Proposal or any such inquiry, offer, proposal or request), and thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the status of any such discussions or negotiations. The Company shall, promptly upon receipt or delivery thereof (and in any event within one (1) calendar day), provide Parent (and its outside counsel) with copies of versions of definitive or other agreements including schedules and exhibits thereto (which may be redacted to the extent necessary to protect confidential information of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal) relating to such Acquisition Proposal, in each case exchanged between the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of its or their Representatives, on the one hand, and the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, its Affiliates or any of its or their Representatives, on the other hand. The Company shall promptly, and in any event within one (1) calendar day, following a determination by the Company Board (or any committee thereof) after consultation with Company Counsel and/or any other reputable and nationally-recognized outside legal counsel chosen by the Company that an Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal or that an Intervening Event has occurred, notify Parent of such determination. The Company shall provide Parent with an accurate and complete copy of any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into within one (1) calendar day of execution thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to (but not after) Company Stockholder Approval, and so long as the Company is not in breach of this Section 5.16, the Company Board may effect an Adverse Recommendation Change (excluding, in the case of an Intervening Event, clauses (ii) and (iv) of the definition of Adverse Recommendation Change) (or solely in respect of the immediately following clause (i), cause the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.4 by written notice to Parent of such termination), if (i) the Company receives an unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that has not been withdrawn and that did not result from a breach of Section 5.16 and the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its reputable and nationally-recognized financial advisors, Company Counsel and/or any other reputable and nationally-recognized and outside legal counsel chosen by the Company) is a Superior Proposal and determines in good faith (after consultation with Company Counsel and/or any other reputable and nationally-recognized outside legal counsel chosen by the Company) that its failure to take such actions would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (ii) an Intervening Event occurs and as a result thereof the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with Company Counsel and/or any other reputable and nationally-recognized outside legal counsel chosen by the Company) that the failure to effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that:

(i) prior to effecting such an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to a Superior Proposal, (A) the Company has provided Parent with at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice (which notice shall constitute a “Determination Notice”) that it will effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change, (B) the Company has provided Parent the information that is specified in Section 5.16(c) with respect to such Superior Proposal, (C) if requested to do so by Parent, for a period of five (5) Business Days following delivery of such notice, the Company shall have discussed and negotiated in good faith and on an exclusive basis, and shall have made the Representatives of the Company available to discuss and negotiate in good faith and on an exclusive basis, with Parent and its Representatives, any bona fide proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (D) no earlier than 11:59 p.m. New York City time at the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Company Board (after consultation with its reputable and nationally-recognized financial advisors, Company Counsel and/or any other reputable and nationally-recognized outside legal counsel chosen by the Company) shall have determined in good faith, after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Parent during such five (5) Business Day period, that such Superior Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make such an Adverse Recommendation Change in connection therewith would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that any change to the financial or other terms (other than de minimis non-financial terms) of an Acquisition Proposal that was previously the subject of a notice hereunder shall require a new notice to Parent as provided above and require the Company to again comply with the requirements of this Section 5.16(e)(i)) with respect to any such new notice); and

(ii) prior to effecting such an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to an Intervening Event, (A) the Company has notified (which notice shall also constitute a “Determination Notice”) Parent in writing that it will effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change, describing in reasonable detail the reasons for such Adverse Recommendation Change, (B) if requested to do so by Parent, for a period of five (5) Business Days following delivery of such notice, the Company shall have discussed and negotiated in good faith, and shall have made the Representatives of the Company available to discuss and negotiate in good faith and on an exclusive basis, with Parent and its Representatives any bona fide proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (C) no earlier than 11:59 p.m. New York City time at the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Company Board shall have again determined in good faith, after giving effect to any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Parent during such five (5) Business Day period and after consultation with Company Counsel and/or any other reputable and nationally-recognized outside legal counsel chosen by the Company, that the failure to effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change would still reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that any change to the facts, event, circumstances, changes, effects, developments or conditions subject of a notice hereunder shall require a new notice to Parent as provided above and require the Company to again comply with the requirements of this Section 5.16(e)(ii) with respect to any such new notice).

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Company Board from issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position with respect to a tender offer contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to the holders of Shares if the Company Board determines (after consultation with Company Counsel and/or any other reputable and nationally-recognized outside legal counsel chosen by the Company) that its failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that, in each case, any Adverse Recommendation Change may only be made in accordance with Section 5.16(e).

(ii) “Intervening Event” means any material positive event, circumstance, change, effect, development or condition (other than an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, offer or proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal), that is material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and was not known or reasonably foreseeable by the Company Board or the officers of the Company as of the Agreement Date, which becomes known to the Company Board prior to the Effective Time and did not arise from the operation of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries in the Ordinary Course of Business; provided, however, that in no event shall (A) any action taken by the Parties pursuant to or in compliance with this Agreement, (B) any changes in Law or the commencement, continuance or settlement of any Action, (C) changes in the market price or trading volume of the shares of Common Stock in and of themselves, (D) the fact, in and of itself, that the Company or any Company Subsidiary meets, exceeds or fails to meet internal or published projections, forecasts or revenue or earnings predictions for any period, (E) a change in the general conditions in the industries in which the Company and the Company Subsidiaries operate or (F) any event, development or change relating solely to Parent or its Affiliates, in each case, constitute an “Intervening Event.”

(iii) “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide Acquisition Proposal that includes a proposed purchase agreement with respect thereto or confirms in writing that any purchase agreement in connection therewith will be on substantially the same terms as this Agreement that is not withdrawn and is not subject to any diligence that is made by a third party after the Agreement Date, which Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of this Section 5.16, (A) that would result in a third party acquiring, directly or indirectly, (1) 100% of the voting power of the Equity Securities of the Company, (2) assets that generate 100% of the consolidated total revenues or operating income of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (3) assets that constitute 100% of the consolidated total assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (other than cash or de minimis assets), (B) is on terms which the Company Board determines (after consultation with its reputable and nationally-recognized financial advisors and Company Counsel and/or any other reputable and nationally-recognized outside legal counsel chosen by the Company) to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the holders of shares of Common Stock than the Transactions, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement (including any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement) and the financial, financing, conditionality, timing, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal (including the financing, which must be fully committed) and the Person making the proposal, and (C) that the Company Board determines (after consultation with its reputable and nationally-recognized financial advisors and Company Counsel and/or any other reputable and nationally-recognized outside legal counsel chosen by the Company) is reasonably likely (and at least as likely as the Merger) to be consummated in accordance with its terms in a reasonable period of time (as compared to the Transactions), taking into account all the financial, financing, conditionality, timing, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal (including certainty of closing, certainty of financing and the identity of the Person making the Acquisition Proposal of such proposal. An Acquisition Proposal that (i) contains a financing or funding condition, restricts in any way or conditions the ability of the Company to seek specific performance to cause the transactions contemplated thereby to be consummated on receipt of funds or compliance with financing commitments from any Person or otherwise may not be consummated without the receipt of funds from any Person other than the Person(s) making the Acquisition Proposal or its or their respective Affiliates, or (ii) offers a price per share less than the Merger Consideration (as amended) shall, in each case, be deemed not to be a Superior Proposal.

(h) Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that in the event any Representative of the Company or any Company Subsidiary takes any action, on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.16, the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.16.

5.17 Further Action.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to promptly do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including using reasonable best efforts to: (i) obtain from any Governmental Authority or any other third party any authorizations, consents, Orders, approvals, licenses, permits or waivers required to be obtained or made by any of the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, as promptly as practicable after the Agreement Date, and (ii) make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions required under (A) the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and any other applicable federal or state securities Laws, and (C) any other applicable Law. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such filings and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to the rules and regulations of any applicable Law in connection with the Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent and the Company agree that nothing contained in this Section 5.17(a) shall modify or affect their respective rights and responsibilities under Section 5.17(b).

(b) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.17, each Party shall: (i) give the other Parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry or Action by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions, (ii) keep the other Parties reasonably informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry or Action; and provide a copy of all written communications., and (iii) subject to applicable Law, consult the other on all the information relating to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries that appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and shall incorporate all comments reasonably proposed by Parent or the Company, as the case may be; provided, however, that if review of any information would be material in connection with any second request (or similar process) such information shall be provided solely to those individuals acting as outside antitrust counsel for the other Parties (provided, that such counsel shall not disclose such information to such other Parties and shall enter into a joint defense agreement with the providing Party). In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Authority or by any applicable Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry or Action in respect of the Transactions, each Party will permit authorized Representatives of the other Party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry or Action and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Authority in connection with such request, inquiry or Action.

(c) In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties hereto agrees to promptly take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment and obtain all consents under any such Antitrust Laws that may be required by any Governmental Authority, in each case with competent jurisdiction, so as to enable the Parties to consummate the Transactions. Parent shall not consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or waiting period or to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the Transactions at the behest of any Governmental Authority without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly take all reasonable actions necessary to resolve any objections asserted with respect to the Transactions under any applicable Law raised by any Governmental Authority, in order to prevent the entry of, any Law or Order that would prevent, prohibit, restrict or delay the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall, in any event, be required, to and without the prior written consent of Parent, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall not (A) sell, license, divest or dispose of or hold separate any material entities, assets or businesses of Parent or its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), (B) terminate, amend or assign existing material relationships or contractual rights or obligations of Parent or its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), (C) change or modify any material course of conduct regarding future operations of Parent or its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), (D) otherwise take actions that would limit the respective freedom of action of Parent or its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries) with respect to, or their ability to retain, one or more of their respective material businesses, assets or rights or interests therein, (E) execute material settlements, undertakings, consent decrees, stipulations or other agreements with any Governmental Authority or with any other Person or (F) commit to take any such actions in the foregoing clauses (A) through (E). If any Governmental Authority requires Parent or any of its Affiliates to take any regulatory action by or with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or its or their businesses or asset, and such action would constitute a breach of this Agreement, the Company may, with the prior written consent of Parent, take such action. Parent shall respond to and seek to resolve as promptly as reasonably practicable any objections asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions. Nothing in this Agreement shall require any Party hereto to take or agree to take, or cause to be taken, any action with respect to its assets, business or operations unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Closing.

5.18 Financing Cooperation. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and Representatives to, use its and their respective reasonable best efforts to provide such information and cooperation as may be reasonably requested by the Parent in connection with the arrangement of any financing to be consummated in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement including any Debt Financing (it being understood that no aspect of such financing is a condition to the Merger). Parent shall (a) promptly on request of the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees up to an agreed cap (if any)) incurred by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries in connection with the co-operation of such persons contemplated in this Section 5.18 and (b) indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and advisors from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees up to an agreed cap (if any)), interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred solely in connection with any financing to be consummated in connection with the Merger, including the Debt Financing or any assistance in connection therewith (other than arising from fraud or intentional misrepresentations, misstatements or omissions on the part of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of its or their respective Affiliates).

5.19 Company Term Facility; Company Revolving Facility. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to cause the providers of the Company Term Facility, the Company Revolving Facility and any and all other bonds, credit facilities or other debt instruments (together the “Debt Documents”) to provide customary payoff letters, release letters, deeds of release, forms UCC-3 and/or any other document reasonably requested by the Parent, in connection with Parent’s payment of any such Debt Document (it being agreed and acknowledged by the Parties that the Company shall have no obligation to make any payments not otherwise due and payable under any Debt Document or terminate either of such facilities, prior to Closing (but acknowledging that the Company may be required to take steps in advance of Closing to ensure that such actions can be taken upon Closing)) to evidence the discharge of such Indebtedness and the release of any associated Encumbrance and/or guarantee or other surety (together the “Release Documents”) provided that the Company shall provide drafts of the Release Documents to the Parent no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that any reasonable comments provided to it by the Parent within two Business Days of receipt are incorporated into the executed versions of such Release Documents.

The corporation shall indemnify any person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding (as hereinafter defined) by reason of the fact that he or she (i) is or was a director or officer of the corporation or (ii) while a director or officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Such right shall be a contract right and as such shall run to the benefit of any director or officer who is elected and accepts the position of director or officer of the corporation or elects to continue to serve as a director or officer of the corporation while this Article VIII is in effect. Any repeal or amendment of this Article VIII shall be prospective only and shall not limit the rights of any such director or officer or the obligations of the corporation with respect to any claim arising from or related to the services of such director or officer in any of the foregoing capacities prior to any such repeal or amendment to this Article VIII.

In the event of the death of any person having a right of indemnification under the foregoing provisions, such right shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators, and personal representatives. The rights conferred above shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, by-law, resolution of stockholders or directors, agreement, or otherwise.

No annual meeting of stockholders need be held if not required by the corporation's certificate of incorporation or by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Section 2 Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders may be called for any purpose (including, without limitation, the filling of board vacancies and newly created directorships) and may be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, and/or by means of remote communication, as shall be stated in a written notice of meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. Such meetings may be called at any time by the board of directors or the president and shall be called by the president upon the written request of holders of shares entitled to cast not less than a majority of the votes at the meeting, which written request shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and shall be delivered to the president. The date, time and place, if any, and/or remote communication, of any special meeting of stockholders shall be determined by the board of directors of the corporation. On such written request, the president shall fix a date and time for such meeting within 10 days after receipt of a request for such meeting in such written request.

Section 3 Place of Meetings. The board of directors may designate any place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and/or by means of remote communication, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the board of directors. If no designation is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be the principal executive office of the corporation.

Section 4 Notice. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, written or printed notice stating the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes, of such meeting, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and to each director not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. All such notices shall be delivered, either personally, by mail, or by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given, by or at the direction of the board of directors, the president or the secretary, and if mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at his, her or its address as the same appears on the records of the corporation. If given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered (a) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (b) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (c) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (1) such posting and (2) the giving of such separate notice; and (3) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (1) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent and (2) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 5 Stockholders List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall make, at least 10 days before every meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, and/or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

Section 6 Quorum. The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, entitled to vote thereon, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. If a quorum is not present, the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, and entitled to vote at the meeting, may adjourn the meeting to another time and/or place.

Section 7 Adjourned Meetings. When a meeting is adjourned to another time and place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 8 Vote Required. When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of votes represented by shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the question is one upon which by express provisions of an applicable law or of the corporation’s certificate of incorporation a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

Section 9 Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or any amendments thereto and subject to Section 3 of Article VI hereof, every stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of common stock held by such stockholder.

Section 10 Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally. Any proxy is suspended when the person executing the proxy is present at a meeting of stockholders and elects to vote, except that when such proxy is coupled with an interest and the fact of the interest appears on the face of the proxy, the agent named in the proxy shall have all voting and other rights referred to in the proxy, notwithstanding the presence of the person executing the proxy. At each meeting of the stockholders, and before any voting commences, all proxies filed at or before the meeting shall be submitted to and examined by the secretary or a person designated by the secretary, and no shares may be represented or voted under a proxy that has been found to be invalid or irregular.

Section 11 Action by Written Consent Unless otherwise provided in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken and bearing the dates of signature of the stockholders who signed the consent or consents, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the state of Delaware, or the corporation's principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book or books in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested or by reputable overnight courier service. All consents properly delivered in accordance with this section shall be deemed to be recorded when so delivered. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days after the earliest dated consent delivered to the corporation as required by this section, written consents signed by the holders of a sufficient number of shares to take such corporate action are so recorded. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. Any action taken pursuant to such written consent or consents of the stockholders shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the stockholders at a meeting thereof.

Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used; provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

Section 12 Action by Facsimile, Email or Other Electronic Transmission Consent. A facsimile, email or other electronic transmission by a stockholder or proxyholder (or by any person authorized to act on such person’s behalf) of a proxy or a written consent to an action to be taken (including the delivery of such a document in the .pdf, .tif, .gif, .peg or similar format attached to an email message) shall be deemed to be written, signed, dated and delivered to the corporation for the purposes of this Article; provided that any such facsimile, email or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine (A) that the facsimile, email or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and (B) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person transmitted such facsimile, email or other electronic transmission. The date on which such facsimile, email or other electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent or proxy was signed. Any such facsimile, email or other electronic transmission of a consent or proxy shall be treated in all respects as an original executed consent or proxy and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of the board of directors or the secretary of the corporation, each stockholder, proxyholder or other authorized person who delivered a consent or proxy by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission shall re-execute the original form thereof and deliver such original to the corporation at its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or to an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. No consent given by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

Section 1 General Powers. The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the board of directors.

Section 2 Number, Election and Term of Office. The number of directors which shall constitute the first board shall be two (2).

The directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote in the election of directors. The directors shall be elected in this manner at the annual meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided in Section 4 of this Article III. Each director elected shall hold office until a successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal as hereinafter provided.

Section 3 Removal and Resignation. Any director or the entire board of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Whenever the holders of any class or series are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the corporation's certificate of incorporation, the provisions of this section shall apply, in respect to the removal without cause of a director or directors so elected, to the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of that class or series and not to the vote of the outstanding shares as a whole. Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the corporation.

Section 4 Vacancies. Except as otherwise provided in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, board vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Each director so chosen shall hold office until a successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such vacancy shall automatically reduce the authorized number of directors pro tanto, until such time as the holders of outstanding shares of capital stock who are entitled to elect the director whose office is vacant shall have exercised their right to elect a director to fill such vacancy, whereupon the authorized number of directors shall be automatically increased pro tanto. Each director so chosen shall hold office until a successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal as herein provided.

Section 5 Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of each newly elected board of directors shall be held without notice (other than notice under these by-laws) immediately after, and at the same place, if any, as the annual meeting of stockholders.

Section 6 Other Meetings and Notice. Regular meetings, other than the annual meeting, of the board of directors may be held without notice at such time and at such place, if any, as shall from time to time be determined by resolution of the board of directors and promptly communicated to all directors then in office. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of the president or any director on at least 24 hours notice to each director, either personally, by telephone, by mail or by electronic transmission.

Section 7 Quorum, Required Vote and Adjournment. A majority of the total number of directors then in office authorized shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of a majority directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the board of directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

Section 8 Committees. The board of directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation, which to the extent provided in such resolution or these by-laws shall have and may exercise the powers of the board of directors in the management and affairs of the corporation, except as otherwise limited by law. The board of directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the board of directors. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the board of directors when required.

Section 9 Committee Rules. Each committee of the board of directors may fix its own rules of procedure and shall hold its meetings as provided by such rules, except as may otherwise be provided by a resolution of the board of directors designating such committee. Unless otherwise provided in such a resolution, the presence of a majority of the members of the committee then in office shall be necessary to constitute a quorum. In the event that a member and that member's alternate, if alternates are designated by the board of directors as provided in Section 8 of this Article III, of such committee is or are absent or disqualified, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the board of directors to act at the meeting in place of any such absent or disqualified member.

Section 10 Communications Equipment. Members of the board of directors or any committee thereof may participate in and act at any meeting of such board or committee by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in the meeting pursuant to this section shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

Section 11 Waiver of Notice and Presumption of Assent. Any member of the board of directors or any committee thereof who is present at a meeting shall be conclusively presumed to have waived notice of such meeting, except when such member attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Such member shall be conclusively presumed to have assented to any action taken unless his or her dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless his or her written dissent to such action shall be filed with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall be forwarded by registered mail to the secretary of the corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to any member who voted in favor of such action.

Section 12 Action by Written Consent. Unless otherwise restricted by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board, or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

Subject to the other provisions of this article, the corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to every director and officer (and to such person’s heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives) in the manner and to the full extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended, against any and all amounts (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, payments in settlements, costs of investigation, attorneys’ fees and other expenses) reasonably incurred by or on behalf of such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter, a “proceeding”), in which such director or officer was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or member of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise. The corporation shall not be required to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person if the Proceeding was not authorized by the board of directors of the corporation.

Section 2 Advancement of Expense of Directors and Officers. The corporation shall pay the expenses of directors and officers incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition (“Advancement of Expenses”); provided, however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this article or otherwise; provided, that no bond or other security shall be required to secure such undertaking.

Section 3 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, these by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 4 Other Indemnification. The corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise.

Section 7 Merger or Consolidation. For purposes of this Article V, references to "the corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

ARTICLE VI
CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

Section 1 No Certificates. Unless otherwise determined by the board of directors, the shares of the corporation's capital stock shall not be certificated. If the board determines to certificate the shares of the corporation's capital stock, the following provisions shall apply:

6.1.1 Form. Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the president or a vice-president and the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation, certifying the number of shares owned by such holder in the corporation. If such a certificate is countersigned (1) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent other than the corporation or its employee or (2) by a registrar, other than the corporation or its employee, the signature of any such president, vice-president, secretary, or assistant secretary may be facsimiles. In case any officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the corporation whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the corporation. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the corporation. Shares of stock of the corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer, authorization, and other matters as the corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. In that event, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate or certificates, and record the transaction on its books. The board of directors may appoint a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its transfer agent or registrar, or both in connection with the transfer of any class or series of securities of the corporation.

6.1.2 Lost Certificates. The board of directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

Section 2 Fixing a Record Date for Stockholder Meetings. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 3 Fixing a Record Date for Action by Written Consent. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

Section 4 Fixing a Record Date for Other Purposes. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 5 Registered Stockholders. Prior to the surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for a share or shares of stock with a request to record the transfer of such share or shares, the corporation may treat the registered owner as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications, and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. The corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof.

Section 6 Subscriptions for Stock. Unless otherwise provided for in the subscription agreement, subscriptions for shares shall be paid in full at such time, or in such installments and at such times, as shall be determined by the board of directors. Any call made by the board of directors for payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as to all shares of the same class or as to all shares of the same series. In case of default in the payment of any installment or call when such payment is due, the corporation may proceed to collect the amount due in the same manner as any debt due the corporation.

ARTICLE VII
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 1 Dividends. Dividends upon the capital stock of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, if any, may be declared by the board of directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or any other purpose and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

Section 2 Checks, Drafts or Orders. All checks, drafts, or other orders for the payment of money by or to the corporation and all notes and other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers, agent or agents of the corporation, and in such manner, as shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.

Section 3 Contracts. The board of directors may authorize any officer or officers, or any agent or agents, of the corporation to enter into any contract or to execute and deliver any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation, and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

Section 4 Loans. The corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the corporation or its subsidiary, whenever, in the judgment of the directors, such loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation. The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest, and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the board of directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing in this section contained shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute.

Section 5 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the board of directors.

Section 6 Corporate Seal. The board of directors may provide a corporate seal, which, if provided, shall be in the form of a circle and shall have inscribed thereon the name of the corporation and the words "Corporate Seal, Delaware". The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.

Section 7 Voting Securities Owned By Corporation. Voting securities in any other corporation or other entity (such as a limited liability company, limited partnership or trust) held by the corporation shall be voted as directed by the board of directors, unless the board of directors specifically confers authority to vote with respect thereto, which authority may be general or confined to specific instances, upon some other person or officer. Any person authorized to vote securities shall have the power to appoint proxies, with general power of substitution.

Section 8 Inspection of Books and Records. Any stockholder of record, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the corporation's stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records, and to make copies or extracts therefrom. A proper purpose shall mean any purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent shall be the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing which authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in the State of Delaware or at its principal place of business.

Section 9 Exclusive Jurisdiction. The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer of the corporation to the corporation or the corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

Section 10 Section Headings. Section headings in these by-laws are for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect in limiting or otherwise construing any provision herein.

Section 11 Inconsistent Provisions. In the event that any provision of these by-laws is or becomes inconsistent with any provision of the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any other applicable law, the provision of these by-laws shall not be given any effect to the extent of such inconsistency but shall otherwise be given full force and effect.

ARTICLE VIII
AMENDMENTS

These by-laws may be amended, altered, or repealed and new by-laws adopted at any meeting of the board of directors by a majority vote. The fact that the power to adopt, amend, alter, or repeal the by-laws has been conferred upon the board of directors shall not divest the stockholders of the same powers.
