THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER is made as of August 8 2012 (this “Agreement”), by and among National Oilwell Varco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquiror”), Raven Process Corp., an Ohio corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror (“Merger Sub”), and Xxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), under the following circumstances (all capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Section 8.4 or as otherwise defined elsewhere in this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise):

A. The respective directors of Acquiror, Merger Sub and the Company each have approved this Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

B. The directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) have, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, unanimously: (i) determined that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and (ii) approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, and have determined to recommend to the shareholders of the Company that they adopt this Agreement.

C. The directors of Acquiror (the “Acquiror Board”) and Merger Sub have, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger; and Acquiror, as the sole shareholder of Merger Sub, has adopted this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and premises contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Ohio General Corporation Law (the “OGCL”), at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the OGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all of the debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) At the Effective Time, Acquiror shall cause the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation to be amended in their entirety to be identical to the articles of incorporation of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the

Surviving Corporation shall be “Xxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Inc.”, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law, subject to Section 5.10. In addition, at the Effective Time, the regulations of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the regulations of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law, subject to Section 5.10.

(c) The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the articles of incorporation and regulations of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors shall have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of incorporation and regulations of the Surviving Corporation. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, continue as the officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the articles of incorporation and regulations of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors shall have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of incorporation and regulations of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) After the Effective Time, if the Surviving Corporation shall determine 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.

Section 1.2 Closing and Effective Time of the Merger. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on a date to be specified by the parties (the “Closing Date”), such date to be no later than the second Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions at the Closing), at a location to be mutually agreed, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by Acquiror and the Company. On the Closing Date, or on such other date as Acquiror and the Company may agree to in writing, Acquiror, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause an appropriate certificate of merger or other appropriate documents (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of Ohio in accordance with the relevant provisions of the OGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the OGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time the Certificate of Merger shall have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of Ohio or such other date and time as is agreed upon by the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger, such date and time hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL SHARES

Section 2.1 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any capital stock of the Company or Merger Sub:

(a) Conversion of Company Common Shares. Subject to Section 2.3, each common share, without par value, of the Company (“Company Common Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Share” and, collectively, the “Shares”) (including, without limitation, any Restricted Shares that fully vest as unrestricted Company Common Shares pursuant to Section 2.4, but excluding any Dissenting Shares), other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b), shall be converted into the right to receive in cash, without interest, $60.00 per Share (the “Merger Consideration”). From and after the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any of the Shares (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b)) (each, a “Certificate”), and each holder of shares in book entry form shall, in each case, cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, subject to compliance with the procedures for surrender of such Shares as set forth in Section 2.3.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Shares and Acquiror-Owned Shares. All Shares held in the treasury of the Company or owned of record by any Company Subsidiary and all Shares owned of record by Acquiror, Merger Sub or any of their respective wholly-owned Subsidiaries shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, with no payment being made with respect thereto.

(c) Merger Sub Common Shares. Each common share, without par value, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable common share of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Merger Consideration Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding Shares are changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution is declared with a record date within such period, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided that no such adjustment shall result in any increase or decrease of the Aggregate Merger Consideration or the aggregate amounts payable under Section 2.4 for Company Options, Restricted Shares or Other Equity-Based Awards.

Section 2.2 Dissenter’s Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares (excluding any Shares described in Section 2.1(b)) that are held by any record

-3-

holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands payment of the fair cash value of such Shares, as a dissenting shareholder pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 1701.85 of the OGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(a), but instead at the Effective Time shall become entitled to receive the fair cash value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1701.85 of the OGCL and, at the Effective Time, all such Dissenting Shares shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist, and the holder of such Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except as set forth in this Section 2.2 and the OGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses the right to proceed under Section 1701.85 of the OGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 1701.85 of the OGCL, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair cash value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under Section 1701.85 of the OGCL shall be forfeited and cease, and each of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive, without interest thereon, the Merger Consideration. The Company shall deliver prompt notice to Acquiror of any demands for the fair cash value of any Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments delivered to the Company pursuant to the OGCL with respect to a demand for the fair cash value of the Company Common Shares, and shall provide Acquiror with the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands under Section 1705.85 of the OGCL. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Acquiror, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.3 Payment for Securities. (a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Acquiror shall appoint a nationally recognized financial institution designated by Acquiror and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration the Certificates or book-entry shares which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented the Company Common Shares (the “Book-Entry Shares”). Prior to the Effective Time, Acquiror shall deposit, with the Paying Agent, sufficient funds to pay the Aggregate Merger Consideration (the “Exchange Fund”). If for any reason (including losses) the Exchange Fund is inadequate to pay the amounts to which holders of shares shall be entitled under Section 2.1(a) at the times necessary for such payments, Acquiror shall take all steps necessary to enable or cause the Surviving Corporation promptly to deposit in trust additional cash with the Paying Agent sufficient to make all payments when due required under this Agreement, and Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation shall in any event be liable for the payment thereof. Funds made available to the Paying Agent shall be invested by the Paying Agent, as directed by Acquiror, in: (i) short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than 30 days, (ii) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s, respectively, or (iii) deposit accounts, certificates of deposit or banker’s acceptances of, repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements with, or Eurodollar time deposits purchased from, commercial banks, each of which has capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating more than $1.0 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank which are then publicly available at the SEC or otherwise), in each case, pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of Shares pursuant to this Article II. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the cash to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1 out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

-4-

(b) Procedures for Surrender. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event within three Business Days after the Closing Date, Acquiror shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, in each case whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement: (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and shall otherwise be in such form and have such other provisions as Acquiror and the Company reasonably may agree; and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Acquiror, and upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount into which the Shares formerly represented by such Certificates or such Book-Entry Shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a), and the Certificates so surrendered shall be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Shares that has not been registered in the transfer records of the Company, Merger Consideration may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered was registered, if the Certificate representing such Company Common Shares is properly endorsed or otherwise is in proper form for transfer (or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, proper evidence of such transfer), and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Acquiror that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3, each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration into which the Shares theretofore represented by such Certificate or such Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a). No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. As of the close of business on the date of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon surrender of any Shares shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. At any time following six months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be

-5-

entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest or other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all funds made available to it) not disbursed to holders of Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Shares and compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.3(b), without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Share for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed as of the date that is immediately prior to such time as such Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or similarly become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Acquiror, free and clear of any claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e) Withholding Rights. Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and their respective agents (including the Paying Agent), as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares, Company Options, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Other Equity-Based Awards, as applicable, such amounts that Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective agents (including the Paying Agent) is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Law (including any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax law); provided, that any transfer or other similar Taxes payable in connection with the Merger (other than such Taxes required to be paid by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the holder of record of the Shares with respect to which such payment is made) shall be borne and paid by Acquiror and Merger Sub. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any agent and paid to the applicable Tax authorities, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares, Company Options, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Other Equity-Based Awards, as applicable, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or their applicable agent, as the case may be.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration into which the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a); provided, however, that Acquiror may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

-6-

Section 2.4 Treatment of Company Options, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, Other Equity-Based Awards and Equity Plans. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, a committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions to provide that, immediately prior to the Effective Time:

(i) Treatment of Company Options. Each outstanding option to purchase Shares (each, a “Company Option”) granted pursuant to any equity incentive plan of the Company or any other plan, agreement or arrangement of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (collectively, the “Company Equity Plans”), shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be fully vested and cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in settlement therefor and full satisfaction thereof, a payment in cash (subject to any withholding in accordance with Section 2.3(e)) equal to the product of: (i) the total number of Shares previously subject to such Company Option and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the exercise price per Share previously subject to such Company Option (such amounts payable hereunder, the “Option Payments”). In each case, the Option Payment shall be made by the Surviving Corporation within three Business Days after the Closing Date. From and after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Company Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Option Payment. No interest shall be paid or accrued on any cash payable with respect to any Company Option.

(ii) Treatment of Restricted Shares. Each unvested Share subject to forfeiture restrictions, repurchase rights or other restrictions (each, a “Restricted Share”) granted pursuant to any Company Equity Plan shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, vest in full, and all restrictions (including forfeiture restrictions or repurchase rights) otherwise applicable to such Restricted Share shall lapse, and each Restricted Share shall be converted into the right to receive a payment in cash equal to the Merger Consideration, without interest (subject to any withholding in accordance with Section 2.3(e)). In each case, payment of applicable withholding with respect to any Restricted Shares shall be made by the Surviving Corporation within three Business Days after the Closing Date.

(iii) Treatment of Restricted Share Units and Other Equity-Based Awards. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each contractual right to receive a Company Common Share or the value of such a Share (each, an “Other Equity-Based Award”), including Restricted Share Units, phantom shares and performance shares (such Restricted Share Units, phantom shares and performance shares collectively are referred to as “Restricted Share Units”), granted pursuant to any Company Equity Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, vest in full, and all restrictions (including forfeiture restrictions or repurchase rights) otherwise applicable to such Other Equity-Based Award shall lapse, and each Other Equity-Based Award shall be cancelled and in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Other Equity-Based Award shall be entitled to receive, in settlement therefor and full satisfaction thereof, a payment in cash (subject to any withholding in accordance with Section 2.3(e)) equal to the product of: (i) the Merger Consideration, and (ii) the number of Shares subject to the Other Equity-Based Award as of the Effective Time; provided, however, that in the case of any Restricted Share Units subject to performance-based vesting conditions, the applicable performance criteria shall be deemed to have been satisfied in accordance with the applicable terms of the Restricted Share Units. In each case, payment with respect to any Other Equity-Based

-7-

Award shall be made by the Surviving Corporation within three Business Days after the Closing Date; provided, however, that for any Other Equity-Based Awards that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, payment shall occur on the date that payment otherwise would occur under the applicable award agreement absent the application of this Section 2.4(a)(iii) to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of any penalty or other taxes under Section 409A of the Code. No interest shall be paid or accrued on any cash payable with respect to any Other Equity-Based Award.

(b) Termination of Company Equity Plans. After the Effective Time, all Company Equity Plans shall be terminated and no further Company Options, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, Other Equity-Based Awards or other rights with respect to Shares shall be granted thereunder.

(c) Acquiror Funding. At the Effective Time, Acquiror shall make a cash contribution to the Surviving Corporation in immediately available funds to permit the Surviving Corporation to make the payments required under this Section 2.4 (except with respect to the Restricted Shares) if the Surviving Corporation does not otherwise have sufficient funds to do so.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as set forth in, or qualified by any matter set forth in, the disclosure letter delivered by the Company to Acquiror and Merger Sub prior to the execution of this Agreement (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section or subsection of such disclosure letter shall also be deemed to be disclosed with respect to any other section or subsection to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure letter) (the “Company Disclosure Letter”), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Acquiror and Merger Sub as follows:

The Company and each Material Company Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing, where applicable, in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its properties or assets or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Company has made available to Acquiror true and complete copies of the Amended Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company (the “Company Articles”), and the Code of Regulations, as amended, of the Company (the “Company Regulations”). The Company is not in violation of any provision of the Company Articles or the Company Regulations.

-8-

(c) Section 3.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a true and complete list of the Subsidiaries of the Company (each a “Company Subsidiary”), together with the jurisdiction of organization or incorporation, as the case may be, of each Company Subsidiary, and the Company’s and any other person’s Equity Interest in each such Company Subsidiary. The Company has also made available to Acquiror true and complete copies of the organizational documents, as amended, of each Company Subsidiary. No Company Subsidiary organized in any jurisdiction of the United States, and no Company Subsidiary organized in any jurisdiction outside of the United States, is in violation of any provision of its respective organizational documents.

(d) Section 3.1(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth: (i) the name of each Person (other than any Company Subsidiary) in which the Company or any Company Subsidiary owns, directly or indirectly, at least 20% of the outstanding Equity Interests (each Person referred to in this clause (i), a “Company Joint Venture Entity”), and (ii) the number and percentage of the Equity Interests of each such Company Joint Venture Entity (collectively, the “Company Joint Venture Securities”) held by the Company, directly or indirectly, and by each other Person holding any Company Joint Venture Securities, and (iii) for each Company Joint Venture Entity, the outstanding Company Joint Venture Securities in such entity.

Section 5.2 Preparation of the Proxy Statement; Shareholder Meeting. (a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file a preliminary Proxy Statement with the SEC to solicit proxies for the Company Shareholder Approval. Subject to Section 5.4, the Proxy Statement shall include the Company Board Recommendation. Acquiror shall cooperate with the Company in the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement, and shall furnish all information concerning it that is necessary in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement and is requested by the Company.

(b) If, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, any information relating to the Company or Acquiror, or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by the Company or Acquiror that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall as promptly as practicable notify the other party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall

-31-

be filed with the SEC as promptly as practicable after the other party has had a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the common shareholders of the Company. The Proxy Statement will comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and other applicable Law, including the regulations and requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.

(c) The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC for mailing to the Company’s common shareholders in accordance with Section 5.2(a), duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholder Meeting.

-32-

the Company or any Company Subsidiary with respect to confidentiality to any third party or otherwise breach, contravene or violate any then effective Contract to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party; or (C) breach, contravene or violate any applicable Law (including the HSR Act or any other antitrust or competition Law) (provided that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (a) allow for such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege with respect to clause (A) of this proviso, (b) obtain the required consent of such third party to provide access to or disclosure such information with respect to clause (B) of this proviso, or (c) develop an alternative to providing such information so as to address such matters that is reasonably acceptable to Acquiror and the Company with respect to clauses (A), (B) or (C) of this proviso); it being understood and agreed that the Company shall advise Acquiror in such circumstances that it is unable to comply with Acquiror’s reasonable requests for information as a result of attorney-client privilege, Contract obligations or applicable Law and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to generally describe the information being withheld. No review pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall have any effect for the purpose of determining the accuracy of any representation or warranty given by any of the parties hereto to any of the other parties hereto.

(b) With respect to the information disclosed pursuant to Section 5.3(a), Acquiror shall comply with all of its obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement dated March 12, 2012 among the Company and Acquiror (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Section 5.4 No Solicitation of Transactions; Change of Recommendation. (a) From and after the date hereof until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII, the Company shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries not to, and shall not authorize or permit any of its officers, directors, or employees to, and shall instruct the Company Representatives not to on behalf of the Company, directly or indirectly: (i) initiate or knowingly solicit, encourage or facilitate the submission of any Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) respond to any inquiries regarding, participate in any discussions or negotiations with any person, or furnish to any person any nonpublic information, with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.4(a), if, at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Company obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval: (i) the Company receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from a third party that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.4, and (ii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal or that failure to take the actions described below in clauses (A) and (B) would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties, then the Company may (and may authorize and permit its Affiliates and Company Representatives to), subject to providing prior notice to Acquiror as

-33-

provided in Section 5.4(c) of its decision to take any such action: (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its representatives and financing sources, and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its representatives regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the Company: (x) shall not, shall not allow the Company Subsidiaries to, shall not permit or authorize the directors and officers of the Company to, and shall instruct the Company Representatives not to, disclose any nonpublic information to such Person without first entering into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such Person, and (y) shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, provide to Acquiror any material information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries provided or made available to such other Person (or its representatives) which was not previously provided or made available to Acquiror.

The Company shall: (i) keep Acquiror informed, in all material respects, on a reasonably prompt basis, of the status, and details of any such Acquisition Proposal (including any change to the material terms and conditions), and (ii) provide to Acquiror, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt, copies of all correspondence and other written material (including draft agreements) relating to the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal provided by the Person making such Acquisition Proposal (or its representatives).

-34-

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.4(d), at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval and so long as the Company is in compliance with this Section 5.4, the Company Board may make a Change of Recommendation if: (A) the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal which the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal and such Acquisition Proposal is not withdrawn, or (B) there occurs any fact, change, event, circumstance, occurrence, effect or development that affects or would reasonably be expected to affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole that: (i) is material, individually or in the aggregate, with any other such fact, change, event, circumstance, occurrence, effect or development, (ii) does not involve or relate to an Acquisition Proposal, and (iii) is not known to the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement and becomes known to the Company Board after the date of this Agreement and prior to the date of the Company Shareholder Approval (a “Material Change”), and the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that, given the Material Change, the failure to make a Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company Board may not make a Change of Recommendation unless: (x) the Company has provided prior written notice to Acquiror that the Company Board intends to effect a Change of Recommendation (a “Notice of Change of Recommendation”), which notice shall specify the reasons therefor and, in the case of a Superior Proposal, include the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and a copy of the most current draft of any written agreement relating to the Superior Proposal, (y) the Company has negotiated in good faith with Acquiror with respect to any material changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Acquiror for at least three Business Days following receipt by Acquiror of such Notice of Change of Recommendation (it being understood and agreed that, in the case of a Superior Proposal, if Acquiror has committed to any material changes to the terms of this Agreement and there has been any subsequent amendment to any material term of such Superior Proposal, the Company Board shall provide a new Notice of Change of Recommendation and an additional three Business Days from the date of such notice prior to making a Change of Recommendation), and (z) taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement committed to by Acquiror to the Company, the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that in the case of a Superior Proposal, such Superior Proposal continues to meet the definition of the term “Superior Proposal” or, in the case of a Material Change, the failure by the Company Board to make a Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Nothing in this Section 5.4(e) shall in any way limit or otherwise affect the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(f) or Acquiror’s right to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(e).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval and so long as the Company is in compliance with this Section 5.4, if the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal which the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal and such Acquisition Proposal has not been withdrawn, the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(f) to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.4(f), and any purported

-35-

termination pursuant to this Section 5.4(f) shall be void, unless: (i) concurrently with such termination the Company pays (or causes a third party to pay) the Company Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i), (ii) the Company has provided prior written notice to Acquiror that the Company intends to terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”), which notice shall specify the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, attach a copy of the definitive agreement proposed to be entered into with respect to such Superior Proposal, and identify the third party who has made the Acquisition Proposal, (iii) the Company has negotiated in good faith with Acquiror with respect to any changes to the terms of this Agreement committed to by Acquiror for at least three Business Days following receipt by Acquiror of such Notice of Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that if Acquiror has committed to any material change to the terms of this Agreement and there has been any subsequent amendment to any material term of such Superior Proposal, the Company Board shall provide a new Notice of Superior Proposal and an additional three Business Day period from the date of such notice), and (iv) taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement committed to by Acquiror to the Company, the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that such Superior Proposal continues to meet the definition of the term “Superior Proposal.”

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 5.4 shall prohibit the Company Board from: (i) disclosing to the shareholders of the Company a position as contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (ii) making any disclosure to the shareholders of the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the Company or is required by Law (for the avoidance of doubt, the issuance by the Company or the Company Board of a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position, as contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, shall not constitute a Change of Recommendation).

Section 5.5 Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings. (a) The Company and Acquiror shall use reasonable efforts to: (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable, (ii) obtain from any Governmental Entities any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required to be obtained by Acquiror or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or to avoid any action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (including those in connection with the HSR Act and in any other Company Required Governmental Approvals), in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) cause the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Article VI, (iv) defend all lawsuits or other legal, regulatory or other proceedings to which it is a party challenging or affecting this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case until the issuance of a final, non-appealable order, (v) seek to have lifted or rescinded any injunction or restraining order which may adversely affect the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (vi) as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 60 days after the date hereof, make or cause to be made all

-36-

necessary applications and filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, and pay any fees due in connection therewith, with respect to this Agreement and the Merger required under or with respect to the Company Required Governmental Approvals and any other applicable Law; provided, that the Company and Acquiror shall cooperate with each other in connection with determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required in connection with the consummation of the Merger and seeking any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers or making any such filings. The Company and Acquiror shall furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing under the rules and regulations of any applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the Company nor Acquiror shall consent to any voluntary delay of the Closing at the behest of any Governmental Entity without the consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. None of Acquiror, any Subsidiary of Acquiror or the Company shall acquire or make any investment in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business organization or any division or assets thereof, that would reasonably be expected to materially delay the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Article VI or materially adversely affect the consummation of the Merger. Acquiror shall use reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, any and all steps and to make, or cause to be made, any and all undertakings necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, merger control, competition or trade regulation Law or any other Law applicable to the Company, any Company Subsidiary or the Merger that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger so as to enable the Effective Time and the Closing, respectively, to occur as promptly as practicable (and in any event, no later than the Extended Outside Date); provided, however, that Acquiror shall not be required to take any action which may have an adverse material effect on the value or economics (other than the costs and time associated with the exercise of reasonable efforts required by this Section 5.5(a), including responding to requests for additional information by Governmental Authorities) of the transaction for Acquiror.

(b) The Company and Acquiror shall give (or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to give) any notices to third parties, and use, and cause their respective Subsidiaries to use, their reasonable best efforts to obtain any third party consents: (i) necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Acquiror Disclosure Letter, as applicable; provided, however that the Company and Acquiror shall coordinate and cooperate in determining whether any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any Company Scheduled Contracts in connection with consummation of the Merger and in seeking any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers. In the event that either party fails to obtain any third party consent described in this Section 5.5(b), such party shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall take any such actions reasonably requested by the other party hereto, to minimize any adverse effect upon the Company and Acquiror, their respective Subsidiaries and their respective businesses resulting, or which could reasonably be expected to result, after the Effective Time, as applicable, from the failure to obtain such consent.

(c) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.5, each party hereto shall: (i) give the other parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this

-37-

Agreement; (ii) keep the other parties informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding; and (iii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication to or from the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity regarding the Merger.

In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Entity or by any Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding, each party shall permit authorized representatives of the other parties to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding.

Section 5.6 Certain Notices. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, each party hereto shall promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify the other party hereto of: (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied; (b) the failure of the Company, Acquiror or Merger Sub, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied; (c) any material actions, suits, claims or proceedings with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement commenced against the Company, any Company Subsidiary or Acquiror, as the case may be (and the Company shall give Acquiror the opportunity to participate in the defense and settlement of any shareholder litigation against the Company or its directors relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Acquiror’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)); and (d) any written notice or other written communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall not cure any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

Section 5.8 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) Following the Closing Date, Acquiror shall cause the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or another affiliate of Acquiror to provide the individuals who are employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing (the “Employees”) with compensation and benefits that are substantially similar to the compensation and benefits provided to employees of Acquiror who perform comparable services for Acquiror or its affiliates.

Cash Balance Plan), for all purposes for which such service is either taken into account or recognized; provided, however, such service shall not be credited (i) with respect to the determination of accrued benefits under any defined benefit pension plan maintained by Acquiror or its ERISA Affiliates on or after the Closing Date, or (ii) to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits.

(d) Following the Closing, to the extent an Employee is transitioned from a Company Benefit Plan that is a group health plan to a group health plan of Acquiror or its affiliates (the “Acquiror Welfare Plans”), Acquiror shall cause the Employee to be granted credit under Acquiror Welfare Plans, for the year during which the Closing occurs, against the deductibles, co-payment limits and out-of-pocket limits of the Acquiror Welfare Plans for the covered expenses already incurred by the Employee during such year under the comparable Company Benefit Plan in which the Employee participated at the Closing Date.

(e) The parties intend that matters, issues or liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from non-U.S. Plans and non-U.S. related employment matters be handled in a manner that is consistent with comparable U.S. matters, issues or liabilities as reflected in this Agreement (to the extent permitted by applicable Law).

Section 5.9 Takeover Laws. If any “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “business combination” or other anti-takeover Law becomes, or is deemed to be, applicable to the Merger, including the acquisition of Shares pursuant thereto, or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then the Company Board or the Acquiror Board, as applicable, shall take all action reasonably available to it to render such Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

Section 5.10 Indemnification of Directors and Officers. (a) For a period beginning at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify, defend and hold all past and present directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (an “Indemnified Person”) harmless to the same extent such Persons are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company or any Company Subsidiary pursuant to applicable Law, the Company Articles, the Company Regulations, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, or equivalent organizational or governing documents, of any Company Subsidiary, and indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement with any Indemnified Person, arising out of acts or omissions in their capacity as directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or any Company Subsidiary occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold such Indemnified Persons harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law for acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval, execution and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation shall advance expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in the defense of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation with respect to the matters subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.10(a) in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Company Articles, the Company Regulations, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, or equivalent organizational documents, of any Company Subsidiary, and indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement, including any expenses incurred in enforcing such Person’s rights under this Section 5.10, regardless of whether indemnification with respect to or advancement of such expenses is authorized under the Company Articles, the Company Regulations, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, or equivalent organizational documents, of any Company Subsidiary, or such indemnification agreements; provided, however, that the Indemnified Persons to whom expenses are advanced undertakes to repay such advanced expenses to Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.10(a). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is made against any Indemnified Person with respect to matters subject to indemnification under this Section 5.10 on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 5.10(a) shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(b) For not less than six years from and after the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation and regulations of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors, officers and employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for periods at or prior to the Effective Time than are currently set forth in the Company Articles and the Company

-40-

Regulations. The indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement with any of the directors, officers or employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation, without any further action, and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms following the Effective Time.

(c) For the benefit of the Company’s directors and officers, on or prior to the Effective Time, the Company may, and after the Effective Time the Surviving Corporation shall, and Acquiror shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain and fully pay the premium for an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for a period of six years from and after the Effective Time for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than the Company’s existing policy (true and complete copies of which have been previously provided to Acquiror), provided, however, that in no event will the Surviving Corporation be required to expend an annual premium for such coverage in excess of 250% of the last annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance prior to the date of this Agreement, which amount is set forth on Section 5.10(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Maximum Premium”). If such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at an annual premium equal to or less than the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation will obtain, and Acquiror will cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain, that amount of directors’ and officers’ insurance (or “tail” coverage) obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium. Acquiror shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder, for a period of not less than six years from and after the Effective Time.

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

(e) The obligations under this Section 5.10 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnified Person, and each shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Section 5.10.

Section 5.11 Agreements Concerning Merger Sub. Acquiror hereby guarantees the due, prompt and faithful payment, performance and discharge by Merger Sub of, and the compliance by Merger Sub with, all of the covenants, agreements, obligations and undertakings of Merger Sub under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and shall take all actions necessary or advisable to ensure such payment, performance and discharge by Merger Sub hereunder. Acquiror has delivered to the Company evidence of its vote or action by written consent adopting this Agreement, as sole shareholder of Merger Sub, in accordance with applicable Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall not, and Acquiror shall not permit Merger Sub to, engage in any activity of any nature except as provided in or expressly contemplated by this Agreement.

-41-

Section 5.12 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board, or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors of the Company Board, shall adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretive guidance of the SEC so that the disposition by any officer or director of the Company who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (“Section 16”) of Shares or other Equity Interests in the Company (including Company Options, Restricted Shares and Other Equity-Based Awards) pursuant to this Agreement and the Merger shall be an exempt transaction for purposes of Section 16.

Section 5.13 Transfer Taxes. All stock transfer, real estate transfer, documentary, stamp, recording and other similar Taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to any such Taxes) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than Taxes required to be paid by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the holder of record of the Shares with respect to which such payment is made) shall be borne and paid by either Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation (regardless of the Person liable for such Taxes under applicable Law) and the Company shall cooperate with Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and Acquiror in preparing, executing and filing any Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

Prior to the Effective Time, none of Acquiror, Merger Sub or any other Acquiror Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall acquire, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, any Shares or any other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, Company Common Shares or any other equity interests of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.
