The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or thing extends, and such shall not mean simply “if.” The word “or” shall not be exclusive. “Writing,” “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form. Unless otherwise specified, references to any statute shall be deemed to refer to such statute as amended from time to time and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

References to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person. References from or through any date mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including or through and including, respectively. References to “law,” “laws” or to a particular statute or law shall be deemed also to include any Applicable Law. This Agreement shall not be construed against any party more or less strictly for its participation, or lack thereof, in the drafting hereof.

THE OFFER

Section 2.01 The Offer.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Merger Subsidiary shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Subsidiary to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer at the Offer Price; provided, however, Parent shall provide the Company with prior notice of when it intends to commence the Offer, and thereafter the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall cooperate and, to the extent necessary, delay the commencement of the Offer, to allow the Company sufficient time (but not to exceed five (5) calendar days following the date Parent intended to commence the Offer) to comply with its obligations under the first sentence of Section 2.02(a).

(b) The obligation of Merger Subsidiary to, and of Parent to cause Merger Subsidiary to, accept for payment and pay for any shares of Company Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to: (i) there being validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn prior to any then scheduled Expiration Time that number of shares of Company Stock which, together with the shares beneficially owned by Parent or Merger Subsidiary (if any), represents at least two-thirds of the Company Stock then outstanding (the “Minimum Condition”); and (ii) the satisfaction, or waiver, to the extent permissible, by Parent or Merger Subsidiary, of the other conditions and requirements set forth in Exhibit A (together with the Minimum Condition, the “Offer Conditions”). The Offer Price payable in respect of each share of Company Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes thereon, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offer to Purchase.

(c) The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that describes the terms and conditions of the Offer as set forth in this Agreement, including the Offer Conditions. Parent and Merger Subsidiary expressly reserve the right (in their sole discretion) to waive, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition), to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that unless previously approved in writing by the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall not (i) reduce the number of shares of Company Stock subject to the Offer, (ii) reduce the Offer Price, (iii) change, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, (iv) add to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A or modify or change any Offer Condition in a manner adverse in any material respect to any stockholders of the Company, (v) except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.01, terminate, extend or otherwise change the expiration date of the Offer, (vi) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer or (vii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the terms of the Offer in a manner adverse in any material respect to any stockholders of the Company.

(d) The Offer shall expire on the later of (i) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 30, 2013 and (ii) midnight, New York City time, on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days following the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer (the “Initial Expiration Time”) or, in the event the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Time, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, is referred to as the “Expiration Time”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and without limiting Parent’s or Merger Subsidiary’s obligations under this Section 2.01(e), Merger Subsidiary (i) may, in its sole discretion, without the consent of the Company, extend the Offer on one or more occasions if on any then-scheduled Expiration Time any of the Offer Conditions shall not be satisfied or, to the extent permissible, in Merger Subsidiary’s sole discretion, waived, until such time as such condition or conditions are satisfied or so waived, (ii) shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Subsidiary to, extend the Offer at the request of the Company beyond any then-scheduled Expiration Time, if, at the then-scheduled Expiration Time of the Offer, any of the Offer Conditions (other than clauses (b), (c) or (d) of Exhibit A) shall not be satisfied or, to the extent permissible, in Merger Subsidiary’s sole discretion, waived, (iii) shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Subsidiary to, extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or Nasdaq (including, in accordance with the position of the staff of the SEC, any required extension of the Offer to ensure that at least five (5) Business Days will remain in the Offer following disclosure of the satisfaction or waiver of the Funding Condition) applicable to the Offer and (iv) may, in its sole discretion, without the consent of the Company, extend the Offer if the Marketing Period has not ended (or will not end) prior to the then-scheduled Expiration Time, from time to time and on one or more occasions until the first (1st) Business Day immediately following the final day of the Marketing Period (or such earlier date specified by Parent to the Company upon two (2) Business Days prior written notice); provided, however, that in no event shall Parent or Merger Subsidiary be required to extend (or cause to extend) the Offer (A) beyond July 28, 2013, but extended to September 26, 2013 if as of such date the only Offer Condition not satisfied is clause (g) on Exhibit A (and each other clause on Exhibit A that is not satisfied as a result of clause (g) on Exhibit A not being satisfied) (the “Outside Date”) or (B) at any time that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 11. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Merger Subsidiary may from time to time, in its sole discretion, without the consent of the Company, extend the Offer on one or more occasions if (x) Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall have waived the Funding Condition, (y) all of the other Offer Conditions (other than the Minimum Condition) have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, in Merger Subsidiary’s sole discretion, waived at such time and (z) the Debt Financing has not actually been received by Merger Subsidiary or Parent. Each extension of the Offer (other than pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.01(e)) shall, subject to Applicable Law, not exceed the lesser of ten (10) Business Days and such fewer number of days that Merger Subsidiary reasonably believes are necessary to cause the Offer Conditions to be satisfied (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company and Parent), and each extension of the Offer pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.01(e) shall, subject to Applicable Law, be five (5) Business Days (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company and Parent).

(f) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Merger Subsidiary shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Subsidiary to, accept and, within three (3) Business Days following such acceptance of shares, pay for (subject to any withholding of tax pursuant to Section 3.06) all shares of Company Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly after the Expiration Time. Acceptance for payment of shares of Company Stock following the Expiration Time pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing”. Nothing contained in this Section 2.01 shall affect any termination rights in Article 11.

(g) The Offer may not be terminated prior to the Expiration Time unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 11.01. If at any then-scheduled Expiration Time of the Offer, (i) each Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition) shall have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, in Merger Subsidiary’s sole discretion, waived, (ii) the Minimum Condition shall not have been satisfied and (iii) no further extensions or re-extensions of the Offer are permitted or required pursuant to Section 2.01(e), then Merger Subsidiary shall promptly, irrevocably and unconditionally, terminate the Offer in accordance with Applicable Law. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Subsidiary, or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 11.01, Merger Subsidiary shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Subsidiary to return, all tendered shares of Company Stock to the registered holders thereof.

(h) On the date of the commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO shall include, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase and a form of letter of transmittal and summary advertisement (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”). The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Merger Subsidiary all information concerning the Company that is reasonably requested by Parent, or is required by the Exchange Act or other Applicable Law, to be set forth in the Offer Documents. Parent and Merger Subsidiary agree to cause the Offer Documents to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the stockholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by Applicable Law. Parent and Merger Subsidiary further agree to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the stockholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall promptly notify the Company upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Offer Documents, and shall promptly provide the Company with copies of all correspondence between them and their representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents. Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (including any amendments or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the stockholders of the Company, or responding in writing to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall provide the Company and its representatives a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents or response, and Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments.

(i) Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Subsidiary, on or before such time as Merger Subsidiary becomes obligated to pay for shares of Company stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, the funds necessary to pay for any shares of Company Stock that Merger Subsidiary becomes obligated to accept for payment, and pay for, pursuant to the Offer.

Section 2.02 Company Actions.

(a) As soon as practicable following (but in any event on the same day as) the filing of the Offer Documents with the SEC, the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.03, contain (i) the recommendation described in Section 5.02, (ii) a copy of the opinion referenced in Section 5.25 in its entirety, together with a summary thereof in accordance with Item 1015(b) of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act, whether or not such item is applicable and (iii) such other information that is customarily included therein, as mutually determined by Parent and the Company. The Company agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be prepared and filed with the SEC and disseminated to the stockholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. To the extent requested by the Company, Parent shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be mailed or otherwise disseminated to the stockholders of the Company together with the Offer Documents disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Subsidiary that is reasonably requested by the Company, or is required by the Exchange Act or other Applicable Law, to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Subsidiary, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by Applicable Law. The Company further agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the stockholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Company shall promptly notify Parent and Merger Subsidiary upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Schedule 14D-9, and shall promptly provide Parent and Merger Subsidiary with copies of all correspondence between it and its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand and prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendments or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the stockholders of the Company, or responding in writing to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, the Company shall provide Parent, Merger Subsidiary and their representatives a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9 or response, and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation.

(b) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to Parent and Merger Subsidiary mailing labels, security position listings and any other available listings or computer files containing the names and addresses of the record holders or beneficial owners of the shares of Company Stock as of the most recent practicable date, and shall promptly furnish Parent and Merger Subsidiary with such information and assistance (including lists of record holders or beneficial owners of the shares of Company Stock, updated from time to time upon Parent’s, Merger Subsidiary’s or either of their respective agent’s request, and the addresses, mailing labels and lists of security positions of such record holders or beneficial owners) as Parent, Merger Subsidiary or its agent may reasonably request for the purpose of communicating the Offer to the record holders and beneficial owners of the shares of Company Stock. Subject to the requirements of Applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listings and files in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement and shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall promptly deliver (and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause their agents and representatives to deliver) to the Company (or destroy) all copies and any extract or summaries of such information then in their possession or control.

Section 2.03 Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Merger Subsidiary an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable only on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.03 following the Offer Closing, to purchase at a price per share equal to the Offer Price paid in the Offer up to that number of duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Company Stock (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to at least that number of shares of Company Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Company Stock owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, shall constitute one share more than 90% of the shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares on a fully diluted basis (which assumes conversion or exercise of all derivative securities convertible or exercisable into shares of Company Stock regardless of the conversion or exercise price, the vesting schedule or other terms and conditions thereof); provided, however, that the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable (i) for a number of shares of Company Stock in excess of the shares of Company Stock authorized and unissued (treating shares owned by the Company as treasury stock as unissued) at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option (giving effect to the shares of Company Stock issuable pursuant to all then-outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and any other rights to acquire Company Stock as if such shares were outstanding) and (ii) if the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Shares are prohibited by any Applicable Law or Order. The Top-Up Option shall be exercisable only once, in whole but not in part, at any time following the Offer Closing and prior to the earlier to occur of (A) the Effective Time and (B) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(b) If, immediately following the Offer Closing (and giving effect to the Offer Closing), the number of shares of Company Stock owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries constitutes less than 90% of the shares of Company Stock outstanding at such time, then Merger Subsidiary shall exercise the Top-Up Option subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.03 by delivering to the Company written notice specifying the number of shares of the Company Stock owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries at the time of such notice (giving effect to the Offer Closing). The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice (and, in any event, on the same day), deliver written notice to Merger Subsidiary specifying, based on the information provided by Merger Subsidiary in its notice, the number of Top-Up Shares to be purchased by Merger Subsidiary. The Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, if applicable, to take place at the same place, on the same day and immediately prior to the Closing. At the closing of the purchase of Top-Up Shares, the aggregate purchase price owed by Merger Subsidiary to the Company for the Top-Up Shares shall be paid to the Company at Parent’s election, either (i) entirely in cash, by wire transfer of same-day funds or (ii) by (A) paying in cash by wire transfer of same-day funds an amount equal to not less than the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Shares and (B) issuing to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the aggregate purchase price pursuant to the Top-Up Option less the amount paid in cash pursuant to the preceding clause (A) (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note (i) shall bear simple interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum, (ii) shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution of the Promissory Note, (iii) shall be full recourse to Parent and Merger Subsidiary, (iv) may be prepaid, at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, and (v) shall have no other material terms. The Company shall cause to be issued to Merger Subsidiary a certificate representing the Top-Up Shares or, if the Company does not then have certificated shares, the applicable number of book-entry shares and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent of the issuance of such book-entry shares. Such certificates or book-entry shares may include any legends that are required by Applicable Laws.

(c) Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledge that no Top-Up Shares issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will be registered under the Securities Act and that all such shares will be issued in reliance upon an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Merger Subsidiary is, and will be upon the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Merger Subsidiary agrees that the Top-Up Option and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Merger Subsidiary for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).

(d) Any dilutive impact on the value of the shares of Company Stock as a result of the issuance of the Top-Up Shares will not be taken into account in any determination of the fair value of any Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of Delaware Law as contemplated by Section 3.04.

(e) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and for so long as this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company agrees that it shall maintain out of its existing authorized capital stock, free from preemptive rights, 55,000,000 authorized but unissued shares of Company Stock issuable as Top-Up Shares pursuant to this Section 2.03.

Section 2.04 Notices of Guaranteed Delivery. For purposes of this Agreement (including Exhibit A, the exercise of the Top-Up Option and the Offer), any shares of Company Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer subject to notices of guaranteed delivery shall be deemed not to be validly tendered into the Offer unless and until the shares of Company Stock underlying such notices of guaranteed delivery are delivered to or on behalf of Merger Subsidiary, except as otherwise mutually agreed to by the Company and Parent.

ARTICLE 3

THE MERGER

Section 3.01 The Merger.

(a) At the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with Delaware Law, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

(b) The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxx LLP, 000 X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, as soon as practicable following (and in any event, on the same day as) the Offer Closing (and, if applicable, the consummation of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares), subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 10 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing); provided, however, that if the Company Stockholder Approval is required by Applicable Law, then the Closing shall take place on the later of (x) two (2) Business Days after the date the conditions set forth in Article 10 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing) have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived and (y) the first (1st) Business Day immediately following the final day of the Marketing Period (but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 10 at the Closing) or such earlier date during the Marketing Period specified in writing by Parent to the Company upon two (2) Business Days’ prior notice; provided, further, that Parent and the Company may mutually agree to effect the Closing at any other place, at any other time or on any other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree (such date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”).

(c) At the Closing, the Company and/or Merger Subsidiary shall file a certificate of merger in customary form and substance with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and shall make all other filings or recordings required by Delaware Law in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time (the “Effective Time”) as the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or at such later time as may be mutually agreed to by the Company and Parent and as specified in the certificate of merger).

(d) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Merger Subsidiary, all as provided under Delaware Law.

Section 3.02 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Subsidiary or the holders of any securities of the Company or Merger Subsidiary:

(a) except as otherwise provided in Section 3.02(b) or Section 3.04, each share of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and as of the Effective Time, all such shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(b) each share of Company Stock held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of the Company, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto;

(c) each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 3.03 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing shares of Company Stock (the “Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Stock (the “Uncertificated Shares”). Concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the In-the-Money Company Stock Option Merger Consideration or the Company RSU Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of In-the-Money Company Stock Options and Company RSUs, respectively, which will be paid in accordance with Section 3.05). All cash deposited with the Exchange Agent may not be used for any purpose not provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed by the Company and Parent before the Effective Time. Any income from investment of the cash deposited with the Exchange Agent will be payable to the Surviving Corporation or as otherwise directed by Parent. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to send to each holder of shares of Company Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Company, Parent, Merger Subsidiary, any Subsidiary of the Company, Parent or Merger Subsidiary, or holders of Dissenting Shares who have not subsequently withdrawn or lost their rights of appraisal) a letter of transmittal, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Surviving Corporation, and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, promptly following (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Stock represented by a Certificate or Uncertificated Share. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent from and after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration. No interest or dividends will be paid or accrue on any Merger Consideration payable to holders of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares. All cash paid upon the surrender of Certificate and Uncertificated Shares in accordance with the terms herein shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares formerly represented by such Certificate and Uncertificated Shares.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay in advance to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 3.

(e) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.03(a) that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Stock one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent or delivered to the Surviving Corporation, as directed by Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to the Parent and the Surviving Corporation as general creditors thereof for payment of the Merger Consideration, in respect of such shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Stock immediately prior to such time when 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 free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent upon demand.

Section 3.04 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 3.02, shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Stock canceled in accordance with Section 3.02(b)) and held by a holder who has properly demanded appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration but instead shall be entitled to payment of the “fair value” of such shares in accordance with Delaware Law; provided that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Delaware Law, such shares of Company Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.02(a), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Uncertificated Share, as the case may be, in compliance with Section 3.03. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Delaware Law that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to participate in and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands under Delaware Law consistent with the obligations of the Company thereunder. Prior to the Effective Time, except with the prior written consent of Parent in its sole discretion, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands. At the Effective Time, the Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Dissenting Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of an equity owner of the Surviving Company or of a stockholder of Parent.

Section 3.05 Company Equity Awards.

(a) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to as promptly as practicable (but, in any event, prior to the Effective Time) take or cause to be taken all such actions necessary or appropriate in its good faith determination (including using reasonable best efforts to obtain written acknowledgements from each holder of Company Stock Options to the cancellation of such holder’s Company Stock Options in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.05(a)), or as Parent reasonably requests, so that each option to purchase shares of Company Stock outstanding under any Company Stock Plan (a “Company Stock Option”) that does not, by its terms, expire on or before the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Stock in respect of Company Stock Options that shall have then been exercised), regardless of whether such Company Stock Option is vested or would vest prior to or on the Effective Time, is:

(i) fully vested and exercised (including exercises contingent upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (however described) and exercise where payment of the exercise price is funded by a portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Stock issued upon such exercise); or

(ii) otherwise canceled without any shares of Company Stock being issued or outstanding or deemed to be issued or outstanding immediately prior the Effective Time in respect thereof and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Company Stock underlying such Company Stock Option (the “Option Exercise Price”) as described in Section 3.06.

(b) For each Company Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that has an Option Exercise Price that is less than the Merger Consideration (each such Company Stock Option, an “In-the-Money Company Stock Option”), whether or not exercisable or vested, shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the Option Exercise Price of such In-the-Money Company Stock Option by (ii) the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such In-the-Money Company Stock Option (such amount, the “In-the-Money Company Stock Option Merger Consideration”). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay through the Company’s payroll (to the extent applicable) the In-the-Money Company Stock Option Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time) and the Company shall cooperate with Parent prior to the Effective Time to arrange for such payment at such time through payroll. Each Company Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that has an Option Exercise Price that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, whether or not exercisable or vested, shall be cancelled without any consideration payable therefor.

(c) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to as promptly as practicable (but, in any event, prior to the Effective Time) take or cause to be taken all such actions necessary or appropriate in its good faith determination (including using reasonable best efforts to obtain written acknowledgements from each holder of Company RSUs to the cancellation of such holder’s Company RSUs in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.05(c)), or as reasonably requested by Parent, so that each restricted share unit with respect to shares of Company Stock granted under a Company Stock Plan (each, a “Company RSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether earned or unearned, vested or unvested, shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) an amount in cash equal to (A) the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (which for unearned, performance-based Company RSUs shall be equal to the target number of shares of Company Stock subject to each such award of performance-based Company RSUs) multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration (such amount, the “Company RSU Merger Consideration”). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay through the Company’s payroll (to the extent applicable) the Company RSU Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time) and the Company shall cooperate with Parent prior to the Effective Time to arrange for such payment at such time through payroll.

(d) The holders of Company Stock Options and Company RSUs shall have the right to enforce, and shall be beneficiaries with respect to, the provisions of this Section 3.05.

Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of the Exchange Agent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law. The Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assist Parent and the Surviving Corporation in making such deductions and withholdings as reasonably requested by Parent. If the Exchange Agent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Company Stock, Company Stock Options or Company RSUs or any other Person, as applicable, in respect of which the Exchange Agent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 3.07 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the delivery by such Person of a written indemnity agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 3.

Section 3.08 Adjustments. The Offer Price and Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Stock), cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Closing; provided, however, that this Section 3.08 shall not be deemed to constitute a consent for the Company to take any prohibited actions set forth in Section 7.01, nor shall it constitute a waiver of any breach thereof.

(b) The Equity Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and is a valid and binding obligation of Parent and the other parties thereto and is enforceable against Parent and the other parties thereto in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity). As of the date hereof, each of the Debt Commitment Letters is in full force and effect and is a valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto and is enforceable against Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity). Parent or Merger Subsidiary has fully paid any and all commitment or other fees in connection with the Financing Commitment Letters that are payable on or prior to the date hereof. As of the date hereof, none of the Financing Commitment Letters have been amended or modified in any respect, no such amendment or modification is contemplated and the respective commitments contained therein have not been withdrawn, rescinded or otherwise modified in any respect. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent or Merger Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of Parent, any other party thereto under any Financing Commitment Letter. There are no conditions precedent to the funding of the full amount of the Financing other than the conditions precedent set forth in the Financing Commitment Letters, and, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in ARTICLE 5, Parent has no reason to believe, as of the date hereof, that it will not be able to satisfy any material term or condition of closing of the Financing (other than any such term or condition the satisfaction of which is within the control of the Company) that is required to be satisfied as a condition of the Financing, or that the Financing will not be made available to Parent at the Offer Closing. There are no side letters or other Contracts to which Parent or any of its Affiliates is a party related to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the full amount of the Financing (other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitment Letters) that would delay or impair the Financing being funded or the ability of Parent and Merger Subsidiary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Assuming the full amount of the Financing is funded in accordance with the Financing Commitment Letters, the aggregate proceeds of the Financing (together with the cash available to the Company) are in an amount sufficient to consummate the Offer and the Merger upon the terms contemplated by this Agreement and pay all related fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 6.07 Guaranty. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent has caused each Guarantor to deliver to the Company the duly executed Guaranty. The Guaranty is in full force and effect and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each Guarantor, enforceable against each Guarantor in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity). No event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of any Guarantor under the Guaranty.

Section 6.08 Certain Arrangements. There are no Contracts or commitments to enter into Contracts (a) between Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Guarantors or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and any director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, or (b) pursuant to which any stockholder of the Company would be entitled to receive consideration of a different amount or nature than the Merger Consideration or pursuant to which any stockholder of the Company agrees to vote to approve this Agreement or the Merger or agrees to vote against any Superior Proposal.

Section 6.09 Parent and Merger Subsidiary Acknowledgements.

(d) From and after the Solicitation Period End Date until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal (or any amendment, modification or supplement thereto), which notice shall include (i) the identity of such Third Party, (ii) copies of such Acquisition Proposal (or any material amendment, modification or supplement thereto), if written (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any documents relating to the financing of such Acquisition Proposal (portions of which may be redacted to the extent customary and required to comply with confidentiality provisions)), and (iii) reasonably detailed summaries of any oral Acquisition Proposal (or any material amendment, modification or supplement thereto).

(v) following such four (4) Business Day period (and any additional two (2) Business Day period), the Company Board again determines in good faith, (A) after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and the Company’s outside legal counsel, that such Qualified Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (after taking into account and/or giving effect to any adjustments or modifications offered or proposed by Parent, Merger Subsidiary or their Representatives) and (B) after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties to the holders of Company Stock under Applicable Law.

(f) The Company Board may also make an Adverse Recommendation Change at any time prior to the Offer Closing if, but only if, an Intervening Event shall have occurred and be continuing and prior to making such Adverse Recommendation Change:

(i) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, as a result of such Intervening Event, the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties to holders of Company Stock under Applicable Law;

(ii) the Company provides a written notice to Parent and Merger Subsidiary that the Company will effect an Adverse Recommendation Change after four (4) Business Days following the receipt of such notice and describing such Intervening Event in reasonable detail;

(iii) during such four (4) Business Day period following Parent’s and Merger Subsidiary’s receipt of such notice, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with Parent, Merger Subsidiary and their Representatives (to the extent Parent, Merger Subsidiary or their Representatives desire to negotiate) to make adjustments and/or modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Financing Commitment Letters and the Guaranty; provided, however, that any change in the Intervening Event that would reasonably be expected to be material to the Company Board’s determination of such event or circumstance being an Intervening Event shall require a new written notice to be delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Subsidiary and the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 7.03(f) (provided, that references to the four (4) Business Day period above shall be deemed to be references to a two (2) Business Day period); and

(iv) following such four (4) Business Day period (and any additional two (2) Business Day period), the Company Board again determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, as a result of such Intervening Event, the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties to holders of Company Stock under Applicable Law (after taking into account and/or giving effect to any adjustments or modifications offered or proposed by Parent, Merger Subsidiary or their Representatives).

(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under Applicable Law, including taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders), (ii) making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, (iii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary obligations under Applicable Law or (iv) making accurate disclosure to its stockholders of any factual information regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company; provided, however, that, in each case, the Company shall not effect, or disclose pursuant to such rules or otherwise a position which constitutes an Adverse Recommendation Change unless specifically permitted by this Section 7.03 (other than this Section 7.03(g)).

(h) The approval of the Board of Directors for purposes of causing any Takeover Statute to be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be irrevocable and unconditional and no Adverse Recommendation Change or other action shall change such approval for purposes of causing any Takeover Statute to be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without Parent’s prior written consent (in its sole discretion), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into, adopt or implement, or agree to enter into, adopt or implement, any Rights Plan. Promptly (and in any event, within one (1) Business Day) following the entry into, adoption or implementation by the Company of a Rights Plan (for the avoidance of doubt, following receipt of Parent’s prior written consent), the Company shall exempt Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer, the Top-Up Option and the Merger) from such Rights Plan, or otherwise render such Rights Plan inapplicable to Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer, the Top-Up Option and the Merger), and such exemption or rendering shall be irrevocable and unconditional and no Adverse Recommendation Change or other action shall change such exemption or rendering.

(ii) “Excluded Party” means any Third Party, group of Third Parties or group that includes any Third Party (so long as such Third Party and the other members of such group, if any, who were members of such group immediately prior to the Solicitation Period End Date constitute at least 50% of the equity financing of such group at all times following the Solicitation Period End Date and prior to the termination of this Agreement) from whom the Company has received, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Solicitation Period End Date, a written Acquisition Proposal that is not withdrawn and that did not result from or arise in connection with a breach of Section 7.03(a) that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and the Company’s outside legal counsel) prior to the Solicitation Period End Date is, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that any such Third Party or group shall cease to be an Excluded Party for so long as such Acquisition Proposal (and any amendment, modification or supplement thereto) ceases to constitute, or reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal.

(iii) “Intervening Event” means a material event or circumstance (other than in connection with or relating to an Acquisition Proposal) affecting the business, assets or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries that was not known to the Company or the Company Board at or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (or if known, the consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable), which event or circumstance, or any consequence thereof, becomes known to the Company or the Company Board after the date hereof and prior to the Offer Closing.

(j) The Company agrees that in the event any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Representatives take any action which, if taken by the Company or the Company Board, would constitute a beach of this Section 7.03, then the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 7.03 for all purposes of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.04, Section 9.01 to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to disclose any information to the extent the Company, in its reasonable judgment, determines that doing so would (i) violate any Applicable Law, rules or regulations, (ii) result in the loss of attorney-client privilege or other privilege with respect to such information or (iii) result in a breach of an agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or result in the disclosure of trade secrets of third parties. The Confidentiality Agreements shall automatically terminate upon the Effective Time.

ARTICLE 8

COVENANTS OF PARENT

Parent agrees that:

Section 8.01 Obligations of Merger Subsidiary. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Offer and the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For the later of (i) six years after the Offer Closing and (ii) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless against any Losses incurred in connection with any threatened or actual claim or Proceeding, and provide advancement of expenses to all present and former officers, directors, employees and agents (including fiduciaries with respect to employee benefit plans) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Person”), to the same extent such Indemnified Persons are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses as of the date hereof by the Company pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the Company’s bylaws and the indemnification agreements of the Company in existence on the date hereof with any directors and officers of the Company. As used in this Section 8.02, “Losses” means any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, reasonable and documented costs, reasonable and documented expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement of any claim or Proceeding.

(b) For six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect provisions in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries (or in such documents of any successor to the business of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries) regarding elimination of liability, indemnification and advancement of expenses that are no less favorable to the intended beneficiaries than the corresponding provisions in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries in existence on the date of this Agreement. From and after the Effective Time, any agreement between any Indemnified Person, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, regarding elimination of liability, indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(c) Prior to the Offer Closing, the Company shall obtain and fully pay the premium for a non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies, in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period or time at or prior to the Effective Time (including claims with respect to the adoption of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby); provided that the cost per annum payable for such “tail” insurance policy shall not exceed 300% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its current fiscal year (such maximum amount, the “Maximum Tail Premium”) and if the cost for such “tail” insurance policy exceeds the Maximum Tail Premium, then the Company shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Tail Premium; provided, that the Company shall give Parent a reasonable expectation to participate in the selection of such tail policy and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent with respect thereto. If the Company shall for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policy as of the Offer Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company in place as of the date hereof with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as that provided under the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof, or the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to purchase comparable policies for such six (6)-year period with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided under the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof; provided that the cost per annum payable for such “tail” insurance policy shall not exceed the Maximum Tail Premium and if the cost for such “tail” insurance policies exceeds the Maximum Tail Premium, then the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Tail Premium.

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys of its property and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the applicable successor, assign or transferee shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 8.02 (including this Section 8.02(d)).

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 8.02 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under Delaware Law or any other Applicable Law, under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise. These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 8.02 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnified Person. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or its officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.02 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

Section 8.03 Employee Matters.

(a) Until December 31, 2013 (the “Transition Period”), with respect to United States employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately before the Effective Time who remain employed during the requisite period (“Company Employees”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide compensation and employee benefits that, taken as a whole, are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided under the Employee Plans as of the date hereof (other than any equity or equity-based and nonqualified retirement or deferred compensation plans or arrangements).

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 8.03(a), during the twelve (12)-month period following the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, assume, honor and continue, until all obligations thereunder have been satisfied, all of the Company’s employment, severance, change in control, retention and termination plans and agreements that are set forth on Section 8.03(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, in each case, as in effect on the date hereof, including with respect to any payments, benefits or rights arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or in combination with any other event), without any amendment or modification, other than any amendment or modification required to comply with Applicable Law or entered into with the consent of the applicable Company Employee.

(c) With respect to any employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement, including 401(k), vacation, paid-time off and severance plans, but other than any equity or equity-based plan, maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates in which Company Employees are entitled to participate and that replaces an equivalent Employee Plan, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, and vesting, each Company Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with the Surviving Corporation or its Affiliates, to the extent recognized prior to the Effective Time for the same purpose under the equivalent Employee Plan; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits or compensation.

(d) The Surviving Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any health benefit plans maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates in which Company Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate that replace an equivalent Employee Plan that is a health benefit plan in the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Employee Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Surviving Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under any health benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate that replace an Employee Plan that is a health benefit plan in the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 12.06, nothing in this Section 8.03 or any other provision of this Agreement (i) shall create any right or remedy (including any third-party beneficiary right) in any Person, including any employees, former employees, any participant in any Employee Plan or any beneficiary thereof, nor create any right to employment or continued employment or any term or condition of employment with Parent, Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates, nor prevent or otherwise restrict the Surviving Corporation from terminating the employment of any Company Employee, (ii) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, contract or arrangement, or (iii) shall limit the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries) to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, contract or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them.

Section 8.04 Financing.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitment Letters (including the flex provisions therein, but not in excess or outside of such provisions unless so agreed by Parent or Merger Subsidiary, and taking into account the anticipated timing of the Marketing Period), and shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision under, the Financing Commitment Letters if such amendment, modification or waiver (i) reduces (or would have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the cash proceeds available from the Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount unless (A) the Debt Financing or the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount and (B) after giving effect to any of the transactions referred to in clause (A) above, the representation and warranty set forth in Section 6.06 shall be true) or (ii) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the Financing, or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any other provision of the Financing Commitment Letters in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) materially delay or prevent or make less likely the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the date of the Offer Closing or (B) materially and adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Subsidiary to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Commitment Letters (provided that, subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 8.04, Parent and Merger Subsidiary may amend the Debt Commitment Letters to add additional lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents and other similar entities or modify the pricing terms). Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification or replacement.

(b) Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in full force and effect the Financing Commitment Letters, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letters on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions but not in excess or outside such flex provisions unless so agreed by Parent or Merger Subsidiary) contained in the Debt Commitment Letters (or on terms no less favorable to Parent or Merger Subsidiary (in the reasonable judgment of Parent) than the terms and conditions in the Debt Commitment Letters), (iii) to satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent and Merger Subsidiary to funding in the Debt Commitment Letters and in the Equity Commitment Letter that are within their control, (iv) in the event that all conditions in the Financing Commitment Letters and this Agreement have been satisfied, to consummate the Financing at or prior to the Offer Closing and (v) to comply with its obligations under the Financing Commitment Letters. Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing and provide the Company copies of material definitive agreements for the Debt Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall give the Company prompt notice (and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours) (A) of any breach or default by any party to any of the Financing Commitment Letters of which Parent or Merger Subsidiary becomes aware, (B) of the receipt of any written notice from any Financing Source with respect to any (1) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any of the Financing Commitment Letters of any provisions of the Financing Commitment Letters or (2) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any of the Financing Commitment Letters with respect to the obligation to fund the Financing or the amount of the Financing to be funded at Closing and (C) if at any time for any reason Parent or Merger Subsidiary believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain the Financing in an amount sufficient to consummate the Merger and the Offer on substantially the same terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by any of the Financing Commitment Letters. Upon the occurrence of any circumstance referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the immediately preceding sentence or if any portion of the Debt Financing otherwise becomes unavailable, and such portion is necessary to fund an amount sufficient to consummate the Merger upon the terms contemplated by this Agreement and pay all related fees and expenses of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and their respective Representatives pursuant to this Agreement, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain in replacement thereof alternative financing (“Alternative Financing”) from the same or alternative sources on terms and conditions that are no less favorable (in the reasonable judgment of Parent) to Parent and Merger Subsidiary, taken as a whole (taking into account any flex provisions, but not in excess or outside such flex provisions unless so agreed by Parent and Merger Subsidiary), than those set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment, in an amount when added to the portion of the Financing being replaced that is still available, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the reasonable best efforts of Parent or Merger Subsidiary be deemed or construed to require Parent or Merger Subsidiary to, and neither Parent nor Merger Subsidiary shall be required to, (i) seek the Equity Financing from any source other than those counterparty to, or in any amount in excess of that contemplated by, the Equity Financing Commitment, (ii) pay any fees in excess of those contemplated by the Financing Commitments or (iii) agree to any term that is outside of, or less favorable than, any applicable economic provision of the Debt Financing Commitments or any related fee letter (including any flex provision therein). Parent shall deliver to the Company complete and correct copies of all Contracts (including redacted fee letters) pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide any portion of the Debt Financing. Any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing” and “Debt Financing Commitments” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments on the date hereof, as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced (in whole or in part) by this Section 8.04(b), including any Alternative Financing, and references to “Debt Commitment Letters” shall include such debt commitment letters and any redacted fee letter as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced (in whole or in part) by this Section 8.04(b), including any commitment letter(s) and redacted fee letters entered into in connection with an Alternative Financing.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Parent or Merger Subsidiary or any of their Subsidiaries to, and the Company shall not and cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, agree (i) to limit in any manner whatsoever or not to exercise any rights of ownership of any securities (including the shares of Company Stock), or to divest, dispose of or hold separate any securities or all or a portion of their respective businesses, assets or properties or of the business, assets or properties of the Company or its Subsidiaries or (ii) to limit in any manner whatsoever the ability of such entities (A) to conduct their respective businesses or own such assets or properties or to conduct the businesses or own the properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries or (B) to control their respective businesses or operations or the businesses or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 9.02 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company. Subject to Section 7.03, and unless and until an Adverse Recommendation Change or termination of this Agreement has occurred, Parent and the Company shall thereafter consult with each other before issuing, and to the extent practicable, give each other reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release, having any communication with the press (whether or not for attribution), making any other public statement or scheduling any press conference or conference call with investors or analysts with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, except in respect of any such press release, communication, other public statement, press conference or conference call as may be required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association (in which case the disclosing party shall use its reasonable best efforts to consult with, and to the extent practicable, give each other reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, the other party in accordance with this Section 9.02 prior to such public release, communication, other public statement, press conference or conference call), shall not issue any such press release, have any such communication, make any such other public statement or schedule any such press conference or conference call prior to such consultation; provided, that each of Parent and the Company may make any public statement in response to specific questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as such statement is substantially similar to previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by Parent and the Company (or individually, if approved by the other party). The provisions of this Section 9.02 shall not apply to Company communications regarding an Acquisition Proposal or an Adverse Recommendation Change. Subject to Section 7.03, the Company shall, and shall cause its directors, officers, employees and other Representatives to, use their reasonable best efforts to make solicitations and recommendations to the holders of shares of Company Stock for purposes of causing the Minimum Condition to be satisfied, including upon Parent’s request, (i) presenting materials mutually acceptable to the Company and Parent that recommend this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the Merger) to the Company’s stockholders and/or ISS or any other applicable stockholder information service, and (ii) if necessary, requesting meetings with the Company’s stockholders (for purposes of obtaining their recommendation to accept the Offer and tender shares of Company Stock into the Offer) and/or ISS or any other applicable stockholder information service (for purposes of obtaining its or their recommendation to accept the Offer and tender shares of Company Stock into the Offer).

At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Subsidiary, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Subsidiary, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Section 9.04 Notices of Certain Events. The Company shall promptly notify Parent of the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event, fact or circumstance that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to cause the Offer Conditions set forth on clause (b) of Exhibit A not to be satisfied (provided, that the failure to deliver any notice pursuant to this sentence shall not be considered in determining whether the Offer Conditions set forth on clause (b) of Exhibit A have been satisfied). In addition, each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other of:

(a) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(b) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and 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 on its part under Applicable Laws and rules and policies of Nasdaq to enable the de-listing by the Surviving Corporation of the Company Stock from Nasdaq and the deregistration of the Company Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

Section 9.06 FCC Approvals. Each of the Company and Parent will prepare and file (after providing the other party with reasonable time to review) application(s) or notification(s) under any Communications Law that requires the prior approval or consent of, or notification(s) to, a Governmental Authority for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all required filings with, or applications to, the FCC for its grant of approval for the transfer of control to Parent of any authorization(s) issued by the FCC to the Company or its Subsidiaries (collectively, such grant of approval referred to herein as the “FCC Grant”), as promptly as practicable and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the date hereof, and to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested by the FCC or any other Governmental Authority in connection therewith and to take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the FCC to issue the FCC Grant and other Governmental Authorities to issue their approval or consent, as required. In the event that any petition for reconsideration or appeal of the FCC Grant or any other required Governmental Authority consent or approval is filed, the Company and Parent will cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to oppose any such petition or appeal. In the event that the FCC issues a decision rescinding the FCC Grant or any Governmental Authority rescinds its consent or approval, the Parties will cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to seek reconsideration and to appeal such decision. In the event that, notwithstanding the cooperation and commercially reasonable efforts of the Company and the Parent, the FCC rescinds the FCC Grant, or any Governmental Authority rescinds its consent or approval, by a final order as to which no further reconsideration or appeal is available, the Company and the Parent agree to cooperate to comply with such final order with the plan of action for that compliance to be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Parent.

Section 9.07 Transaction Litigation. In the event that any litigation (including stockholder litigation) related to this Agreement, the Merger, the Offer, the Top-Up or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement is brought, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing, prior to the Effective Time against the Company or its Subsidiaries and/or the members of the Company Board, the Company shall promptly notify Parent of any such litigation and shall keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. The Company and Parent shall give each other the opportunity to participate, at their own expense, in the defense, settlement and/or prosecution of any pending or threatened litigation related to the transactions contemplated hereby. None of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Representatives shall compromise, settle, come to an arrangement regarding 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; provided, however, that (a) Parent’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned to the extent such compromise, settlement or arrangement is a “disclosure only settlement” that does not obligate the Company, Parent or Merger Subsidiary (i) to separately mail such disclosure to the Company’s stockholders (nor would such mailing be required under Applicable Law) or (ii) to incur any monetary obligations (other than attorneys’ fees to the plaintiffs’ counsel in such litigation) and (b) Parent’s consent shall be in its sole discretion in all other cases.

Section 12.04 Expenses.

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12.04, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

(b) Company Termination Fee.

(i) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to clauses (A) or (C) of Section 11.01(c)(i) or by the Company pursuant to Section 11.01(d)(i), then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee to Parent (or one or more Persons designated by Parent) in immediately available funds, in the case of a termination by Parent, within two (2) Business Days after such termination and, in the case of a termination by the Company, immediately before and as a condition to such termination; provided, however, that in the event that this Agreement is terminated on or before the Cut-Off Date pursuant to (x) clause (A) of Section 11.01(c)(i) as a result of an Adverse Recommendation Change effected pursuant to and in accordance with Section 7.03(c) in response to a Superior Proposal made by an Excluded Party or (y) Section 11.01(d)(i) and the applicable Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal that is entered into substantially concurrently with the termination of this Agreement is with an Excluded Party, then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent (or one or more Persons designated by Parent) 50% of the Company Termination Fee (instead of the full Company Termination Fee) in immediately available funds, in the case of a termination by Parent, within two (2) Business Days after such termination and, in the case of a termination by the Company, immediately before and as a condition to such termination

(ii) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to clause (B) of Section 11.01(c)(i), then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent (or one or more Persons designated by Parent) 50% of the Company Termination Fee in immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days after such termination; provided, however, that if within 12 months following the date of such termination, any Acquisition Proposal (regardless of when made) shall have been consummated or entered into and at any time thereafter consummated, then the Company shall pay to Parent (or one or more Persons designated by Parent) in immediately available funds, concurrently with such consummation, an amount (not less than zero) equal to the Company Termination Fee minus any portion of the Company Termination Fee previously paid pursuant to this Section 12.04(b)(ii); provided, further, that if the material breach of Section 7.03 specified in clause (B) of Section 11.01(c)(i) was a consequence of an act taken by the Company or its Representatives, or the failure by the Company or its Representatives to take an act required to be taken under this Agreement, with the actual knowledge that the taking of, or the failure to take, such act would, or would be reasonably expected to, cause a material breach of Section 7.03, then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent (or one or more Persons designated by Parent) the full amount of the Company Termination Fee within two (2) Business Days following such termination, in lieu of any other fee pursuant to this Section 12.04(b)(ii);

(iii) If (A) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 11.01(b)(i), by Parent pursuant to Section 11.01(b)(ii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 11.01(c)(ii) (but, in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 11.01(c)(ii), only if the failure to satisfy the condition specified therein results from an intentional and material breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein) and (B) within 12 months following the date of such termination, any Acquisition Proposal (regardless of when made) shall have been consummated or entered into and at any time thereafter consummated, then the Company shall pay to Parent (or one or more Persons designated by Parent) in immediately available funds, concurrently with such consummation, the Company Termination Fee; provided that for purposes of this Section 12.04(b)(iii), all references to “20%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

(iv) The “Company Termination Fee” shall equal $8,200,000.00. To the extent paid to Parent (or to one or more Persons designated by Parent), the parties agree that the Company Termination Fee is attributable to the termination of the rights of Parent to acquire the Company Stock hereunder.

(v) In no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(i) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 11.01(d)(ii) (but only if the breach by Parent or Merger Subsidiary of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein was a principal factor of the failure to consummate the Offer) or Section 11.01(d)(iii), then Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Company in immediately available funds $14,050,000.00 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) within two (2) Business Days after such termination.

(ii) In no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(d) Acknowledgements. Each party acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 12.04 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to Section 12.04(b) or Section 12.04(c) are not a penalty but rather constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent or the Company, as the case may be, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) without these agreements, the parties would not have entered into this Agreement.

(e) Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (except as and to the extent provided in Section 12.11(d)), but subject to the Company’s rights set forth in Section 12.13, (i) the Company’s right to receive payment of the Parent Termination Fee when payable pursuant to Section 12.04(c) and/or the reimbursement of costs and expenses and indemnification to the extent required under Section 7.05(b), in either case, from Parent or the Guarantors pursuant to the Guaranty shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company Related Parties against Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Guarantors and any of their respective former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, Financing Sources, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder (whether intentionally, willfully or otherwise) or otherwise and (ii) upon payment of such amount, none of the Parent Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Section 12.13, (A) Parent’s right to receive payment from the Company of the Company Termination Fee when payable pursuant to Section 12.04(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Related Parties against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder (whether intentionally, willfully or otherwise) or otherwise and (B) upon payment of such amount, none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) under no circumstances will the Parent Related Parties be liable for monetary damages in excess of the amount of the Parent Termination Fee whether to the Company or any other Company Related Party, (2) while the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance of the type permitted in accordance with Section 12.13 and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee under Section 12.04(c), under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee and (3) at any time Parent shall have the right to satisfy in full any claim by the Company for the Parent Termination Fee by consummating the Merger in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each of the Parent Related Parties and the Company Related Parties shall have the right to enforce, and shall be a beneficiary with respect to, the provisions of this Section 12.04(e), Section 12.13(a)(iv) and Section 12.13(b)(iv).

Section 12.05 Disclosure Schedule References. The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement (regardless to whether the specific Section of this Agreement references the Company Disclosure Schedule) and (b) any other representations and warranties of such party that is contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties would be readily apparent on the face of the disclosure to a reasonable person who has read that reference and such representations and warranties, without any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter(s) so disclosed. The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 12.06 Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as provided in Article 3, Section 8.02 and Section 12.04(e), no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that the Financing Sources shall be express third party beneficiaries with respect to Section 12.03(a), Section 12.04(e), this Section 12.06, Section 12.07, Section 12.08 and Section 12.09.

Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 12.06(b) shall be null and void.

Section 12.08 Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether brought by any party or any of its Affiliates or against any party or any of its Affiliates) shall be brought exclusively in the Delaware Chancery Court or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or other Delaware state court, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 12.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party. The parties hereto agree that a final trial court judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment. The parties hereto hereby further agree that New York state or United States federal courts sitting in the borough of Manhattan, City of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any action brought against any Debt Financing Source under the Debt Commitment Letters in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall relieve any Person of liability for fraud.

Section 12.12 Severability.

Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Other than in the case of fraud, in no event shall Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any Parent Related Party have the right to seek or obtain money damages from the Company or any Company Related Party under this Agreement (whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) other than the right of Parent and Merger Subsidiary to payment of the Company Termination Fee as set forth in Section 12.04(b).

(b) Remedies of the Company.

(i) Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 11, the Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief (A) to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, including Parent’s and Merger Subsidiary’s obligation to consummate the Merger and (B) to cause Parent or Merger Subsidiary to exercise all rights at law or in equity to enforce the Debt Commitment Letters and the Equity Commitment Letter to cause the Debt Financing or Equity Financing, as applicable, to be funded, in each case, in the courts described in Section 12.08, in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at Applicable Law or in equity; provided, however, that notwithstanding the right of the Company to obtain an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, no such right may be enforced to cause the Offer or the Merger to be consummated, the Offer Price or Merger Consideration to be paid or the Equity Financing to be funded, whether under this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter, unless: (I) all of the Offer Conditions shall have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived as of the then-scheduled Expiration Time; (II) the lenders party to the Debt Commitment Letter, have irrevocably and unconditionally confirmed in writing that the financing provided for by the Debt Commitment Letters will be funded at the Offer Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Offer Closing; and (III) the Company has irrevocably and unconditionally confirmed in writing that if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then the Closing will occur; provided, further, that notwithstanding the right of the Company to obtain an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, no such right may be enforced to cause the Debt Financing to be funded, whether under this Agreement or the Debt Commitment Letters, unless: (x) all of the Offer Conditions (other than the Funding Condition) shall have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived as of the then-scheduled Expiration Time; and (y) the Company has irrevocably and unconditionally confirmed in writing that if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then the Closing will occur.

(ii) Parent Termination Fee. The Company shall be entitled to payment of the Parent Termination Fee if and when payable pursuant to Section 12.04(c) hereof.

(iii) Termination. The Company shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article 11 hereof.

(c) Acknowledgement Regarding Available Remedies. Solely to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 12.13, the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Solely to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 12.13, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 12.08 without proof of damages or otherwise, and that such explicit rights of specific enforcement are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without such rights, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 12.13. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 12.13) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(d) Parent shall have received a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company certifying that the Offer Conditions set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of this Exhibit A have been satisfied as of immediately prior to the then-scheduled Expiration Time;

(j) Parent shall have received the proceeds of the Debt Financing or the lenders party to the Debt Commitment Letters shall have unconditionally and irrevocably confirmed in writing to Parent or Merger Subsidiary that all of the Debt Financing will be available at the Offer Closing on the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (“Funding Condition”);

(k) the Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with its terms.

The foregoing conditions shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, the rights of Parent and Merger Subsidiary to extend, terminate or modify the Offer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Merger Subsidiary and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Applicable Law, may be waived by Parent and Merger Subsidiary, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the then scheduled expiration of the Offer in their sole discretion (other than the Minimum Condition). The failure by Parent or Merger Subsidiary at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders, or class of stockholders, of the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this Corporation.

ARTICLE EIGHT

Section 1. Nature of Indemnity. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she (or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative), is or was at any time after the date hereof a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was at any time after the date hereof serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding) and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article Eight, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors. The Corporation may, by action of the Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

B-2

Section 2. Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under Section 1 of this Article Eight or advance of expenses under Section 5 of this Article Eight shall be made promptly, and in any event within 30 days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the Corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article Eight is required, and the Corporation fails to respond within 60 days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within 30 days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article Eight shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 3. Nonexclusivity of Article Eight. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article Eight shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), By-Laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 4. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Corporation or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article Eight.

Section 5. Expenses. Expenses incurred by any person described in Section 1 of this Article Eight in defending a proceeding or enforcing the person’s rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article Eight shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of such proceeding’s final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

B-3

Section 6. Employees and Agents. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article Eight and who are or were employees or agents of the Corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the Corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Section 7. Contract Rights. The provisions of this Article Eight shall be deemed to be a contract right between the Corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article Eight and the relevant provisions of the DGCL or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article Eight or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or proceeding then existing.

Section 8. Merger or Consolidation. For purposes of this Article Eight, 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 Eight 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 NINE

In the event that a director or officer of the Corporation who is also an employee, partner, principal, director or officer of Avista (as defined below) acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, such director or officer of the Corporation shall have fully satisfied and fulfilled the fiduciary duty of such director or officer of the Corporation and its shareholders with respect to such corporate opportunity, if such director or officer acts in a manner consistent with the following policy: (i) a corporate opportunity that any person who is a director or officer of the Corporation, and who is also an employee, partner, principal, director or officer of Avista, acquires knowledge of while acting in such person’s capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, shall belong to the Corporation and (ii) otherwise, any corporate opportunity may be pursued by Avista and any pursuit by Avista shall not constitute a breach of fiduciary liability. For the purposes of this Article Nine, “Avista” means Avista Capital Partners III, L.P., Avista Capital Partners (Offshore) III, L.P., Avista Capital Holdings, L.P. and each of their respective direct or indirect controlling affiliates and each of their respective, and its controlling affiliates’ respective, nominees, advisory and investment managing entities.

The Corporation hereby eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal liability of any person who serves as a director of the Corporation to the Corporation and/or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that if in the future the DGCL is amended or modified (including, but not limited to, Section 102(b)(7)) to permit the elimination of the personal liability of a director of the Corporation to a greater extent than contemplated above, then the provisions of this Article Nine shall be deemed to be automatically amended to provide for the elimination of the personal liability of the directors of the Corporation to such greater extent. This Article Nine shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when this Article Nine becomes effective.

B-4

ARTICLE ELEVEN

Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if the members of the Board of Directors that would constitute a quorum pursuant to the By-Laws consent in writing or by electronic transmission to the adoption of a resolution authorizing the action. The resolutions, written consents or electronic transmissions of the members of the Board of Directors shall be filed with the minutes of the proceeding of the Board of Directors. 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.

ARTICLE TWELVE

The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provisions contained in this Certificate of Incorporation from time to time and at any time in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and all rights conferred upon stockholders and directors are granted subject to such reservation.
