AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 16, 2014, by and among TECHNE CORPORATION, a Minnesota corporation (“Parent”), MCLAREN MERGER SUB, INC., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), PROTEINSIMPLE, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the Securityholders’ Representative. Certain other capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A. Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Securityholders’ Representative are occasionally referred to herein as the “parties.”

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with this Agreement and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent;

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub deem it advisable and in the best interests of their respective stockholders that the parties consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein; and

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION.

1.1 The Merger; Effective Time; Closing; Surviving Corporation.

(a) Merger of Merger Sub into the Company. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined below), Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, and the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease. The Company will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). The Merger will have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

(b) Effective Time. As soon as practicable on the date of the Closing, and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Parent will cause to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Certificate of Merger”) in such form as required by, and

executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such other time as Parent and the Company agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

(c) Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the Closing contained in Section 6, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place as soon as practicable (but not later than three Business Days) after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Closing contained in Section 6 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions), unless another date is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto; it being understood that the parties currently intend to close on July 31, 2014, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.” All proceedings to be taken, all documents to be executed and delivered by the parties, and all payments to be made and consideration to be delivered at the Closing will be deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously, and, except as permitted hereunder, no proceedings will be deemed taken nor any documents executed or delivered until all have been taken, executed and delivered.

(d) Surviving Corporation.

(i) At the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of the Company and Merger Sub, the certificate of incorporation of the Company (the “Company Charter”) will be amended and restated so as to read in its entirety as the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation attached to the Certificate of Merger, and, as so amended and restated, such Company Charter will be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein and by applicable Legal Requirements.

(ii) At the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of the Company and Merger Sub, the bylaws of the Company will be amended and restated so as to read in their entirety as the bylaws of Merger Sub, and, as so amended and restated, will be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Legal Requirements.

(iii) Effective as of, and immediately following, the Effective Time, the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation will consist solely of the members of the board of directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office until the earlier of his or her resignation, removal or death or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, as the case may be, in accordance with the Company Charter and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and applicable Legal Requirements.

(iv) Effective as of, and immediately following, the Effective Time, the officers of the Surviving Corporation will be the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(v) Subject to Section 5.18(b), effective as of, and immediately following, the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will possess all properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, and all of the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Company and Merger Sub will become the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Merger Consideration; Consideration Spreadsheet.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including Section 1.5 below, the merger consideration payable by Parent at Closing pursuant to this Agreement will be calculated as follows, as updated pursuant to Section 1.4(c) or as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5 of this Agreement (the “Closing Merger Consideration”):

(i) the Aggregate Merger Consideration; minus

(ii) the Company Debt Payoff Amount; plus

(iii) the Company Cash; plus

(iv) the Aggregate Company Option Exercise Price Amount set forth in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet, plus

(v) the Aggregate Company Warrant Exercise Price Amount set forth in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet, minus

(vi) the Specified Transaction Expenses; minus

(vii) the Company Change in Control Payments; plus or minus, as the case may be,

(viii) the Adjustment Amount.

(b) Consideration Spreadsheet. Attached hereto as Exhibit F is a spreadsheet (the “Consideration Spreadsheet”) setting forth all of the following information, estimated as of the Closing Date: (a) correct names of all Company Securityholders (and such other information as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) as reflected in the records of the Company; (b) the amount and type of each Company Security held by each such Company Securityholder, and the correct certificate numbers with respect to each such Company Security; (c) the amount of the Closing Cash Consideration payable to each Company Securityholder in connection with the Closing; (d) the Pro Rata Portion of each Company Securityholder; (e) the manner in which any distribution of the Escrow Amount will be distributed among the Company Securityholders and the manner in which each such distribution will be calculated; (f) the amount of Company Cash; (g) the amount of Specified Transaction Expenses (including an itemized list of each such Specified Transaction Expense indicating the general nature of such expense (e.g., legal, accounting, etc.), and the Person to whom such expense is owed) and the wire transfer information of each such Person; (h) the Company Debt Payoff Amount, along with a breakdown by lender, amount of Company Debt and the wire transfer information of each lender; (i) the aggregate amount of Company Change in Control Payments, along with a breakdown by Person entitled to receive such payment; (j) the Aggregate Company Warrant Exercise Price Amount and the Aggregate Company Warrant Payment Amount as of the Closing; (k) the Aggregate Company Option Exercise Price Amount and the Aggregate Company Option Payment Amount as of the Closing; (l) the Escrow Amount; and (m) the Contingency Amount. In no event will the aggregate amount payable by Parent (including for Dissenting Shares) exceed the Aggregate Merger Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5.

(c) Closing Consideration Spreadsheet. The Company will prepare and deliver to Parent, no less than three Business Days prior to the Closing, an update to the Consideration Spreadsheet setting forth any changes in amounts due to a change in the estimated time of the Closing and any Dissenting Shares not entitled to any of the Closing Merger Consideration (the “Closing Consideration Spreadsheet”).

(d) Updates to Closing Consideration Spreadsheet. In connection with any scheduled distribution of the Escrow Amount to the Company Securityholders, the Securityholders’ Representative may deliver to Parent (and to the Paying Agent and Escrow Agent, as appropriate) an updated Consideration Spreadsheet that reflects such contemplated distributions of the Escrow Amount to Company Securityholders.

(e) Accuracy of Consideration Spreadsheets. The Consideration Spreadsheet, the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet, and any other updates to the Consideration Spreadsheet are the sole responsibility of the Company Securityholders, and the Company Securityholders hereby agree that neither the Company nor Parent, nor any of Parent’s Affiliates, will have any responsibility or liability for any errors, omissions or inaccuracies therein. Parent, its Affiliates and Paying Agent will be entitled to rely on the accuracy of the Consideration Spreadsheet, the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet, and any other updates to the Consideration Spreadsheet in all respects, and Parent’s obligation to make any payments pursuant to this Section 1 will be deemed fulfilled to the extent that Parent makes such payments in accordance with the foregoing.

(f) Escrow Account. $25,000,000 of the Closing Merger Consideration (the “Escrow Amount”) will be withheld and deposited by Parent in a separate account (the “Escrow Account”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (the “Escrow Agent”). The Escrow Amount will be held and distributed as provided in the Escrow Agreement and as described herein. The Escrow Amount will be held solely for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of the Company Securityholders set forth in this Agreement and making any payments owed to Parent or the other Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to a reserve for pending claims, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agreement will provide for the release of amounts remaining in the Escrow Account on the 15-month anniversary of the Closing; provided, however, that no amounts subject to unresolved claims will be released until such claims are resolved. Any release and payment of amounts remaining in the Escrow Account to Company Securityholders will be made in accordance with the Consideration Spreadsheet, as updated in accordance with this Agreement. All fees, costs and expenses of the Escrow Agent with respect to the Escrow Account, and of the Paying Agent with respect to the Exchange Fund, will be paid by Parent. The Escrow Amount will be held by the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof. The Escrow Amount will be held as a trust fund and will not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and will be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Company Securityholders will constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and of all of the arrangements relating thereto, including the placement of the Escrow Amount in escrow.

(g) Contingency Amount. $500,000 of the Closing Merger Consideration (the “Contingency Amount”) will be deposited by Parent with the Escrow Agent. The Contingency Amount will be used, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Securityholders’ Representative, to pay (i) the costs and expenses, if any, incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative in accordance with or otherwise related to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Securityholders Representative Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) any amounts payable under Section 1.5(d) by the Securityholders’ Representative, and (iii) any other costs or expenses incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative in the performance of its obligations as the Securityholders’ Representative. The Escrow Agreement will provide that, upon the request of the Securityholders’ Representative, any remaining Contingency Amount will be released and paid to the Company Securityholders (in accordance with each Company Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion). All fees, costs and expenses of the Escrow Agent with respect to the Contingency Amount will be paid by the Securityholders’ Representative for and on behalf of the Company Securityholders (in accordance with each Company Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion).

1.5 Closing Merger Consideration Adjustment.

(a) The Company will deliver to Parent the Company’s good-faith estimate of (i) the Closing Date Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Working

Capital”), (ii) the Company Cash (the “Estimated Company Cash”), and (iii) the corresponding Adjustment Amount (the “Estimated Closing Date Statement”), no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Such estimates will be based on the Company’s books and records, the best estimate of the management of the Company and other information then available. Parent will have the right to review the Estimated Closing Date Statement and such supporting documentation or data of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as Parent may reasonably request. If Parent does not agree with the Estimated Closing Date Statement, the Company and Parent will negotiate in good faith to mutually agree on an acceptable Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital and Estimated Company Cash, and the Company will consider in good faith any proposed comments or changes that Parent may reasonably suggest; provided, however, that the failure to include in the Estimated Closing Date Statement any changes proposed by Parent, or the acceptance by Parent of the Estimated Closing Date Statement, or the consummation of the Closing, will not limit or otherwise affect Parent’s remedies under this Agreement, including Parent’s right to include such changes or other changes in the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, or constitute an acknowledgment by Parent of the accuracy of the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital; provided, further, that the failure of Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative to reach such mutual agreement will not give any party the right to terminate this Agreement or otherwise fail to close the transactions contemplated hereunder, and the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital (i) delivered by the Company or (ii) as agreed to by the Company and Parent will be the figure used for purposes of determining the Estimated Adjustment Amount.

(b) The Adjustment Amount used for the calculation of the Closing Merger Consideration on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Adjustment Amount”) will be based on the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, and the Estimated Company Cash will be the amount set forth in the Estimated Closing Date Statement. Parent and the Company acknowledge and agree that the exact Adjustment Amount and the exact amount of Company Cash will not be known as of the Closing Date and that the Adjustment Amount and amount of Company Cash determined on the Closing Date may need to be adjusted subsequent to the Closing Date on the basis set forth herein. Accordingly, no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent will prepare and deliver to the Securityholders’ Representative (i) an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) prepared in accordance with GAAP and the Company’s past practices (as adjusted by the terms of this Agreement), (ii) a determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital, (iii) a statement setting forth the determination of the resulting Adjustment Amount, and (iv) its calculation of the actual Company Cash (the “Closing Date Statement”).

(c) The Securityholders’ Representative and Parent will have the right to review all records, work papers and calculations that are reasonably necessary for the purpose of reviewing the Estimated Closing Date Statement, the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Statement. The Securityholders’ Representative will have 30 days after delivery of the Closing Date Statement in which to notify Parent in writing (such notice, a “Closing Date Dispute Notice”) of any discrepancy in, or disagreement with, the items reflected on the Closing Date Statement (and specifying the amount in dispute and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such discrepancy or disagreement), and upon agreement by Parent regarding the adjustment requested by the Securityholders’ Representative, an appropriate adjustment will be made thereto. If the Securityholders’ Representative does not deliver a Closing Date Dispute

Notice to Parent during such 30 day period, the Closing Date Statement will be deemed to be accepted in the form presented to the Securityholders’ Representative. If the Securityholders’ Representative timely delivers a Closing Date Dispute Notice and Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative do not agree, within 15 days after timely delivery of the Closing Date Dispute Notice, to resolve any discrepancy or disagreement therein, the discrepancy or disagreement will be submitted for review and final determination by the Independent Accounting Firm. The review by the Independent Accounting Firm will be limited to the discrepancies and disagreements set forth in the Closing Date Dispute Notice, and the resolution of such discrepancies and disagreements and the determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital and Company Cash and the resulting Adjustment Amount by the Independent Accounting Firm must be (i) in writing, (ii) made in accordance with GAAP (as adjusted by the terms of this Agreement) in accordance with the Company’s past practices, (iii) with respect to any specific discrepancy or disagreement, no greater than the higher amount calculated by Parent or the Securityholders’ Representative, as the case may be, and no lower than the lower amount calculated by Parent or the Securityholders’ Representative as the case may be, (iv) made as promptly as practical after the submission of such discrepancies and disagreements to the Independent Accounting Firm (but in no event later than 30 days after the date of submission), and (v) final and binding upon, and non-appealable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns for all purposes hereof, and not subject to collateral attack for any reason absent manifest error or fraud. The fees, costs and expenses of retaining the Independent Accounting Firm will be allocated by the Independent Accounting Firm between the Company Securityholders and Parent in accordance with the Independent Accounting Firm’s judgment as to the relative merits of the respective positions of the parties regarding the manner in which any item or items are treated on the Closing Date Statement with respect to which they were unable to agree as reflected in their respective reports to the Independent Accounting Firm. Following the resolution of all objections of the Securityholders’ Representative regarding the manner in which any item or items are treated on the Closing Date Statement, by mutual agreement or the Independent Accounting Firm, Parent will prepare the final Closing Date Statement reflecting such resolution and will deliver copies thereof to the Securityholders’ Representative and such final Closing Date Statement will be the “Final Closing Date Statement,” and, for the avoidance of doubt, the final Adjustment Amount set forth in the Final Closing Date Statement will be the “Final Adjustment Amount” and the Company Cash set forth in the Final Closing Date Statement will be the “Final Company Cash.”

(d) If the Final Adjustment Amount exceeds the Estimated Adjustment Amount used for the calculation of the Closing Merger Consideration on the Closing Date, then the Closing Merger Consideration will be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to the entire amount of such difference. If the Estimated Adjustment Amount used for the calculation of the Closing Merger Consideration on the Closing Date exceeds the Final Adjustment Amount, then the Closing Merger Consideration will be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to the entire amount of such difference.

(e) If the Final Company Cash exceeds the Estimated Company Cash, then the Closing Merger Consideration will be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to the entire amount of such difference. If the Estimated Company Cash exceeds the Final Company Cash, then the Closing Merger Consideration will be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to the entire amount of such difference.

(f) Without duplication, all amounts payable pursuant to Sections 1.5(d) and 1.5(e) will be aggregated in determining whether there is reduction or an increase to the Closing Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.5. In the event of an increase to the Closing Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.5, within five Business Days of the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount and Final Company Cash, Parent will deposit (i) with the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholders and (ii) with the Surviving Corporation for further distribution to the Company Optionholders through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system, less any applicable income and employment withholding Taxes, the entire amount of such increase by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet. In the event of a reduction to the Closing Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.5, within five Business Days of the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, the Company Securityholders shall pay or direct the Securityholders’ Representative to pay to Parent the entire amount of such reduction.

1.6 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, recording and other similar fees payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the Closing and the other transactions contemplated hereby will be the responsibility of, and will be paid by, the Company Securityholders.

1.7 Treatment of Company Securities.

(a) Conversion. At and as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any Company Securityholder, each Company Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares, if any) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive from Parent, promptly following the surrender of the certificate representing such Company Share (each, a “Company Stock Certificate”) and a properly completed letter of transmittal, the consideration set forth on the Consideration Spreadsheet, as updated in accordance with this Section 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no consideration will be paid with respect to any Company Share held in treasury of the Company and each Company Share owned by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) each Dissenting Share will be converted into the right to receive payment from the Surviving Corporation with respect thereto in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law. For purposes of calculating the amount of the Closing Merger Consideration payable to each Company Securityholder pursuant to this Section 1, all amounts payable in cash to such Company Securityholder will be aggregated and rounded up to the nearest whole cent (with $0.005 being rounded upward) and computed after aggregating the amounts payable for all shares of each class and series of Company Shares held by such Company Securityholder. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Company Shares, Company Options and Company Warrants will cease to have any rights with respect to the Company Shares, Company Options and Company Warrants represented thereby, other than the right to receive the amounts provided in this Section 1 or, with respect to the holders of Company Shares who properly demand appraisal in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, the right to exercise their rights in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

(b) Each share of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, and, as of the Effective Time, all such shares will constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares will remain outstanding and evidence ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.8 Surrender of Company Stock Certificates.

(a) At the Effective Time, holders of Company Stock Certificates representing the Company Shares and Company Warrants that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights as stockholders or warrantholders of the Company, and the stock transfer books of the Company will be closed with respect to all shares of such capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such Company Shares will be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid Company Stock Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate will be canceled and will be exchanged as provided in this Section 1.8.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company will deliver to each Major Stockholder a copy of this Agreement together with a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (each, a “Letter of Transmittal”). Following the Effective Time, the Paying Agent will deliver to each other holder of Company Shares and each holder of Company Warrants a Letter of Transmittal, in accordance with the Paying Agent Agreement. Following the Effective Time and surrender to the Paying Agent of a Company Stock Certificate or Company Warrant (or an affidavit of loss and a bond in lieu thereof), together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, the holder of such Company Stock Certificate or Company Warrant will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor payment of an amount equal to the applicable amount set forth on the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet, and the Company Stock Certificate or Company Warrant so surrendered will be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.8, each Company Stock Certificate and Company Warrant will be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender an amount equal to the applicable amount set forth on the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet. If any Company Stock Certificate or Company Warrant is lost, stolen or destroyed, the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate or Company Warrant may provide (in lieu of such Company Stock Certificate or Company Warrant) an appropriate affidavit as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Company Stock Certificate or Company Warrant; provided, however, that the owner of any such certificate or Company Warrant will also be required to deliver a bond in such sum as Parent or the Paying Agent in its discretion may require.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Securityholders’ Representative, the Paying Agent, or the Escrow Agent will be liable to any Company Securityholder for any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration delivered to a public

official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirement. Any Aggregate Merger Consideration remaining undistributed to Company Securityholders immediately prior to such time as such Aggregate Merger Consideration payable to the Company Securityholders pursuant to this Section 1 would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority will, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

1.9 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any shares of capital stock of the Company that, as of the Effective Time, are held by a Company Stockholder exercising such Company Stockholder’s right of appraisal in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into or represent the right to receive payment in accordance with Sections 1.7 and 1.8, and such Company Stockholders will be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such Company Stockholders in Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; provided, however, that if such Company Stockholder’s right of appraisal is not perfected, or if such Company Stockholder’s demand for payment is withdrawn pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as of the later of the Effective Time or the time of the failure to perfect such status or the withdrawal of such demand, such shares will automatically be converted into and will represent only the right to receive (upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares) payment in accordance with Sections 1.7 and 1.8.

(b) The Company will (i) give Parent prompt notice of any written demand received by the Company prior to the Effective Time to require the Company to purchase Company Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and of any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, and (ii) give Parent the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand. The Company will not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand unless Parent has consented in writing to such payment or settlement offer.

1.10 Withholding Rights. Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent and the Escrow Agent, as applicable, will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Company Securityholder such amounts as Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority by Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Company Securityholder. Parent and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to determine, and use commercially reasonable efforts authorized by applicable Legal Requirements to minimize, any withholding Taxes.

1.11 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Securities six months following later of (a) the final release from the Escrow Account or (b) the day that is 15 months from the Closing Date will, upon demand by Parent, be delivered to Parent, and any holder of Company Securities who has not previously complied with the provisions of this Section 1 will be entitled, after complying with the provisions of this Section 1, and subject to any escheat or similar laws, to receive from Parent payment of the applicable portion of such undistributed amount with respect to such Company Securities.

1.12 Treatment of Company Options. Company Options will not be continued, assumed or substituted by the Surviving Corporation or Parent as part of the Merger. Prior to the Closing, the Company’s board of directors will adopt appropriate resolutions and will take all other actions necessary and appropriate to cause each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, to become fully vested and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Option Termination Agreements) a cash payment with respect thereto equal to the Company Option Payment Amount set forth on the Consideration Spreadsheet, as updated in accordance with this Section 1, less any applicable withholding Taxes. As of the Effective Time, all Company Options will automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Option will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Company Option Payment Amount set forth on the Consideration Spreadsheet, as updated in accordance with this Section 1, if any, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Option Termination Agreement. In accordance with this Agreement and the Option Termination Agreements, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date that any portion of the Company Option Payment Amount set forth on the Consideration Spreadsheet is due (and, with respect to payments made as of the Closing, if any, no later than the first regular payroll date occurring at least three Business Days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation, through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system, will pay to each former holder of Company Options such Company Option Payment Amounts as such holder will be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.12 and the holder’s Option Termination Agreement, reduced by applicable withholding Taxes; provided, that, consistent with Section 5.4(f)(iii), if and to the extent that any Contingency Amount is released to former holders of Company Options, it shall not be subject to withholding or processed through payroll.

1.13 Treatment of Company Warrants.

(a) Company Warrants will not be continued, assumed or substituted for by the Surviving Corporation or Parent as part of the Merger.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company’s board of directors will adopt appropriate resolutions and will have taken all other actions necessary and appropriate to cause each Company Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to be cancelled and converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive a cash payment with respect thereto equal to the amount set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, as updated in accordance with this Section 1, less any applicable withholding Taxes. As of the Effective Time, all Company Warrants will automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Warrant will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the amount set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, as updated in accordance with this Section 1, less any applicable withholding Taxes.

1.14 Securityholders’ Representative.

(a) Each Company Securityholder hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Fortis Advisors LLC as his, her or its sole, exclusive, true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Securityholders’ Representative”), with full power of substitution to act in such Company Securityholder’s name, place and stead with respect to all transactions contemplated by and all terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, and to act on such Company Securityholder’s behalf in any dispute, litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and execute all such documents, on such Company Securityholder’s behalf, as the Securityholders’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, including the power: (i) to execute and deliver this Agreement and any and all amendments, waivers or modifications hereof; (ii) to waive any condition to the obligations of such Company Securityholder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) to execute and deliver all ancillary agreements, certificates and documents, and to make representations and warranties therein, on behalf of such Company Securityholder that the Securityholders’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; and (iv) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of such Company Securityholder as is assigned, delegated or charged to the Securityholders’ Representative or that the Securityholders’ Representative otherwise deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, as fully and completely as such Company Securityholder could do if personally present. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securityholders’ Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Company Securityholders, except as expressly provided herein, in the Escrow Agreement and in the Paying Agent Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Securityholders’ Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Company Disclosure Schedule. All such actions set forth or described in this Section 1.14(a) will be deemed to be facts ascertainable outside this Agreement and will be binding on the Company Securityholders.

(b) The appointment of the Securityholders’ Representative and the powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Securityholders’ Representative and the Advisory Group (as defined below) hereunder are: (i) deemed coupled with an interest and will be irrevocable, and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of the respective Company Securityholder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Company Securityholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Escrow Amount. Parent, its Affiliates and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Securityholders’ Representative on behalf of the Company Securityholders in all matters referred to herein. All notices delivered by Parent or the Company (following the Closing) to the Securityholders’ Representative (whether pursuant hereto or otherwise) for the benefit of the Company Securityholders will constitute notice to the Company Securityholders. The Securityholders’ Representative will act for the Company Securityholders on all of the matters

set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Securityholders’ Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Company Securityholders as a whole and consistent with its obligations under this Agreement, but the Securityholders’ Representative will not be responsible to the Company Securityholders for any loss or damages it or they may suffer by reason of the performance by the Securityholders’ Representative of its duties under this Agreement, other than loss or damage arising from fraud by the Securityholders’ Representative. The Securityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Consideration Spreadsheet, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Company Securityholder or other party.

(c) If the Securityholders’ Representative resigns or is otherwise similarly unable to carry out its duties hereunder, then the representatives of the Advisory Group (as defined below) will, within five Business Days, appoint a new Securityholders’ Representative. The representatives of the Advisory Group may at any time, for any reason or no reason, remove the Securityholders’ Representative. If at any time there is not a Securityholders’ Representative and the Company Securityholders fail to designate in writing a successor Securityholders’ Representative within five Business Days after receipt of a written request delivered by Parent to the representatives of the Advisory Group requesting that a successor Securityholders’ Representative be designated in writing, then Parent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a new Securityholders’ Representative hereunder.

(d) All actions, decisions and instructions of the Securityholders’ Representative taken, made or given pursuant to the authority granted to the Securityholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 1.14 will be conclusive and binding upon each Company Securityholder and such Company Securityholder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Company Securityholder, and no Company Securityholder will have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Each Company Stockholder and each Company Warrantholder, by the execution and delivery of any Letter of Transmittal, each Company Optionholder, by the execution and delivery of any Option Termination Agreement, will be deemed to have approved, confirmed and ratified any action taken by the Securityholders’ Representative in the exercise of the power-of-attorney granted to the Securityholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 1.14, which power-of-attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and will survive the death, incapacity or incompetence of each such Company Securityholder.

(e) Certain Company Securityholders have entered into a letter agreement with the Securityholders’ Representative (the “Securityholders Representative Agreement”) to provide direction to the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with the performance of its services under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (such Company Securityholders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Securityholders’ Representative (together with its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees) nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Securityholders’ Representative Group”) will be liable to the Company Securityholders for any act done or omitted hereunder in its capacity as the Securityholders’ Representative unless caused by fraud by the Securityholders’ Representative. The Securityholders’ Representative will not have any fiduciary, agency or other duties to the

Company Securityholders and its only obligations will be as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Securityholders’ Representative is serving in that capacity solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and is not personally liable for any of the obligations of the Company Securityholders hereunder, and Parent and the Company agree that they will not look to the underlying assets of the Securityholders’ Representative for the satisfaction of any obligations of the Company Securityholders (or any of them). The Company Securityholders acknowledge that the Securityholders’ Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or administration of its duties. The Company Securityholders will severally and not jointly, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions (and not jointly), indemnify and defend the Securityholders’ Representative Group and hold the Securityholders’ Representative Group on demand harmless against any damages, losses, claims, liabilities, fees, costs, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, or expenses incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative Group and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance, performance or administration of the Securityholders’ Representative Group’s duties hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel, accountants, auditors and other advisors or skilled professionals retained by the Securityholders’ Representative or in connection with seeking recovery from insurers, which rights will survive the resignation or removal of the Securityholders’ Representative. Such Securityholders’ Representative expenses may be recovered first, from the Contingency Amount, second, from any distribution of the Escrow Amount otherwise distributable to the Company Securityholders at the time of distribution, and third, directly from the Company Securityholders based on their respective Pro Rata Portion (severally and not jointly). The Securityholders’ Representative will be entitled to retain its own counsel and other professional advisers in connection with the acceptance, performance or administration of the Securityholders’ Representative’s duties hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement or the exercise of any of the Securityholders’ Representative’s rights hereunder, and will further be entitled to withdraw from the Contingency Amount the amount of any fees and expenses of such counsel and professionals. In the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty hereunder, the Securityholders’ Representative may, in its sole and reasonable discretion, refrain from taking any action, unless the Securityholders’ Representative receives written instructions, signed by the representatives of the Advisory Group, that eliminate such ambiguity or uncertainty. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Securityholders’ Representative or any member of the representatives of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(f) If (i) the Securityholders’ Representative elects (1) to assume and control the defense and/or management of any Third Party Claim at the expense of Company Securityholders in accordance with Section 8.1(f) hereof or (2) to take any other action under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement that may require the payment of amounts out of the Contingency Amount, including for any attorneys, accountants, auditors or other advisors, and (ii) the Securityholders’ Representative’s good faith estimate of the reasonable expenses to be incurred by of the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with any such action exceeds the balance of the Contingency Amount, the Securityholders’ Representative may refrain from taking any such action until such time as the Securityholders’ Representative, upon seven days’ notice to the Company Securityholders, receives written commitments signed by the representatives of the Advisory Group for payment of such expenses, in which case all Company

Securityholders will pay their Pro Rata Portion of such estimated expenses. Any such initial notice by the Securityholders’ Representative to the Company Securityholders will include a statement of the balance of the Contingency Amount, the good faith estimate of the reasonable expenses to be incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative, the amount by which the estimated expenses to be incurred exceed the balance of the Contingency Amount, and each Company Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of such excess expense amount. Each Company Securityholder will deliver its Pro Rata Portion of any excess expense amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds, using the wire instructions identified in any such initial notice, no later than ten days following the date on which the Securityholders’ Representative gives such Company Securityholder notice of the receipt of commitments signed by the representatives of the Advisory Group for payment of such excess expenses; provided, however, that no Company Securityholder will be required to make any payments, individually or in the aggregate, pursuant to this Section 1.14(f) in excess of the Aggregate Merger Consideration previously received by such Company Securityholder. Any amounts thus paid will increase the balance of the Contingency Amount.

2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE COMPANY AND THE COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES. Except (i) as disclosed in a disclosure schedule of even date herewith delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”) or (ii) as disclosed in the Registration Statement (excluding any risk factor disclosures contained under the heading “Risk Factors,” any disclosure of risks included in any “forward looking statements” disclaimer or any other forward looking statements of risk that do not contain a reasonable level of detail about the risks of which the statements warn), provided that, any such disclosure that is inaccurate or omits to state a material fact will not be deemed a disclosure pursuant hereto) (it being understood that any matter disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or in the Registration Statement shall be deemed disclosed with respect to any section of this Article 2 to which the matter relates to the extent the relevance to each such section is reasonably apparent), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as of the date hereof and as of the Closing that:

applicable in the relevant jurisdiction), in each jurisdiction where the operation of such Company Subsidiary’s current business by such Company Subsidiary requires such qualification, each of which is set forth in Section 2.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has posted in the Data Room true and correct copies of the organizational documents of each Company Subsidiary, in each case as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

2.3 Power and Authority.

(a) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all documents contemplated hereby to which the Company is a party or signatory, to consummate the Closing and the other transactions contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company, and, assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the other parties hereto, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity, regardless of whether asserted in a proceeding in equity or at law.

2.4 Capitalization.

Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has received notice from any Governmental Authority with respect to the revocation, limitation or termination of any such Permit. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries are in material compliance with the terms of all such Permits.

2.7 Financial Statements; Internal Controls.

(a) Attached as Section 2.7 of the Company Disclosure Schedule are (i) the audited consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and (ii)(1) the unaudited balance sheet of Company (the “Company Balance Sheet”) as of May 31, 2014 (the “Company Balance Sheet Date”) and (2) the unaudited consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the five-month period ended May 31, 2014, in the case of (i) above, together with the notes to such financial statements (collectively, the “Company Financial Statements”). The Company Financial

The statements of income included in the Company Financial Statements do not contain any items of special or nonrecurring income or any other income not earned in the ordinary course of business required to be disclosed separately in accordance with GAAP, except as expressly specified in the applicable statement of operations or notes thereto. The books of account of the Company accurately reflect the Company’s items of income and expense and all assets and liabilities and accruals that properly should have been reflected therein in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered thereby except as disclosed in the Company Financial Statements. The Company has provided or made available to Parent copies of all material correspondence with its independent certified accountants since January 1, 2011.

(b) The Company and the Company Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal controls over financial reporting that provides reasonable assurance that (i) records are maintained in reasonable detail and accurately and fairly reflect, in all material respects, the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries; (ii) receipts and expenditures and other transactions are executed in accordance with the authorization of management; (iii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries; and (iv) there is prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

5. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS.

5.1 Access to Information. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will, and the Company will cause the Company Subsidiaries to: (a) afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access to and the right to inspect the real property, properties, assets, premises, books and records, contracts, agreements and other documents and data related to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, as Parent may reasonably request; (b) furnish Parent and its Representatives, at Parent’s sole expense, with such financial, operating and other data and information related to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as Parent or any of its Representatives may reasonably request; and (c) instruct the Representatives of the Company to cooperate with Parent in its investigation of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries; provided, however, that any such investigation will be conducted during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to the Company under the supervision of the Company’s personnel and in such a manner as not to materially interfere with the normal operations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries will permit Parent and its Representatives to conduct environmental due diligence of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and the Leased Real Property, including the collecting and analysis of samples of indoor or outdoor air, surface water, groundwater or surface or subsurface land on, at, in, under or from the Leased Real Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries will not be required to disclose any information to Parent if such disclosure would, in the sole and reasonable judgment of the Company: (i) jeopardize any attorney-client, work product doctrine or other privilege, or (ii) contravene any applicable Legal Requirements, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, in each case so long as the Company and the Company Subsidiaries have reasonably cooperated with Parent to permit such inspection of, or to disclose such, information on a basis that does not jeopardize such privilege or contravene any such Legal Requirement. No information received pursuant to an investigation made under this Section 5.1 will be deemed to (i) qualify, modify, waive, amend or otherwise affect any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements of the Company set forth in this Agreement or any certificate or other instrument delivered to Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) amend or otherwise supplement the information set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule, (iii) limit or restrict the remedies available to the parties under applicable Legal Requirements arising out of a breach of this Agreement, or (iv) limit or restrict the ability of either party to invoke or rely on the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement set forth in Section 6 hereof.

5.2 Public Disclosure; Confidentiality.

(a) Except as may be required by Legal Requirements or stock exchange requirements, during the Pre-Closing Period, the parties will consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement or making any other public (or non-confidential) disclosure (whether or not in response to an inquiry) regarding the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Company may make such disclosure to the Company Securityholders as it deems necessary or desirable in order to obtain the Required Stockholder Approval and Option Termination Agreements, so long as such disclosure complies with applicable Legal Requirements, is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and the Company provides Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments to any such disclosure prior to dissemination to any Company Securityholders, and (ii) Parent may include disclosures relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein in Parent’s filings with the SEC, and otherwise as required by the SEC and Nasdaq, without seeking approval from, or consulting with, any other parties hereto; provided, that Parent will make good faith efforts to provide the Company and the Securityholders’ Representative with written notice of any such disclosures made prior to the Closing and to consider in good faith any comments that either such party has on such filings, except to the extent that any such disclosures are substantially similar to the information contained in previous public disclosures made by Parent.

(b) Without limiting the parties’ obligations under that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated May 19, 2014, between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), none of the parties will issue any such press release or make any such public statement or disclosure without the prior approval of Parent and the Company. The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, are hereby incorporated herein by reference and will continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time such Confidentiality Agreement will terminate. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement will nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(c) From and after the date hereof, the Securityholders’ Representative will not, and, as applicable, will cause its directors, officers, employees, Representatives and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person, or use or otherwise exploit for their own benefit or for the benefit of anyone, any Confidential Information (as that term is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement). The Securityholders’ Representative will not have any obligation to keep confidential (or cause their respective directors, officers, employees, Representatives and Affiliates to keep confidential) any Confidential Information if and to the extent that disclosure thereof is specifically required by applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that in the event that disclosure is required by applicable Legal Requirements, the Securityholders’ Representative will, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, provide Parent and the Company with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that the applicable party may seek an appropriate protective order.

5.3 Efforts; Government Approvals and Further Assurances.

(a) Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the Closing and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to Section 5.3(b), each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries will execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional actions as any other party may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm, or evidence the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries will: (i) make any filings and give any notices required to be made or given by such party in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the Closing and the other transactions contemplated hereby; and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consent required to be obtained by such party in connection with this Agreement, the consummation of the Closing and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Parent, the Merger Sub and the Company undertakes and agrees to file (or cause their respective Affiliates to file, as applicable) as soon as practicable, and in any event prior to ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, a Notification and Report Form regarding the transactions contemplated hereby as required by the HSR Act with each of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and to promptly submit any other filings required to be made under any Antitrust Laws in foreign jurisdictions. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will promptly deliver to the other a copy of each such filing made (other than filings made pursuant to the HSR Act), each such notice given and each such consent obtained during the Pre-Closing Period, it being understood that delivery of such filings, notices and consents exclusively to the outside counsel of such other party will be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of this Section 5.3(a).

(b) Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the authorizations, consents, orders and approvals necessary for their execution and delivery of, and the performance of their obligations pursuant to, this Agreement. Each of Parent and the Company will use their commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, all notices, reports and other documents required to be filed by such party with any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement, the consummation of the Closing and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) to submit promptly any additional information requested by any such Governmental Authority. Each of Parent and the Company will pay 50% of any filing fee under the HSR Act and other Antitrust Laws. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or otherwise to the contrary, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure prompt termination of any waiting periods imposed by the HSR Act and other Antitrust Laws. Each of the Company and Parent will (A) give the other party prompt notice of the commencement of any legal proceeding by or before any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement, the consummation of the Closing and the other transactions contemplated hereby; and (B) keep the other party informed as to the status of any such legal proceeding. The Company and Parent will consult and cooperate with one another, and will consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted by either of them in connection with any legal proceeding under or relating to national security matters.

(c) For the purposes of this Section 5.3, “commercially reasonable efforts” of Parent will not require (nor will anything in this Section 5.3 or otherwise in this Agreement require) Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that would prohibit or limit in any respect, or place any conditions on, the ownership or operation by Parent, its Subsidiaries or the Company of any portion of the business or assets of Parent or the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries, or compel Parent or the Company, or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries, to dispose of, hold separate or license any portion of the business, assets or Intellectual Property of Parent or the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries, respectively, in each case as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In no event will Parent or the Company, nor any of Parent’s Subsidiaries, be obligated to propose or agree to accept any undertaking or condition, to enter into any consent decree or hold separate order, to make any divestiture or to accept any operational restriction or limitation. With regard to any Governmental Authority, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary will, without Parent’s prior written consent in Parent’s sole discretion, discuss with any Governmental Authority or commit to any divestiture transaction, or discuss with any Governmental Authority or commit to alter its business or commercial practices in any way, or otherwise discuss with any Governmental Authority, take or commit to take any action that limits Parent’s freedom of action with respect to, or Parent’s ability to retain any of Parent’s or the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s respective businesses, product lines or assets or otherwise receive the full benefits of this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the obligations of Parent, its Subsidiaries and Merger Sub hereunder will not include any requirement to defend any proceeding challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Closing beyond the Outside Date.

5.4 Tax Matters.

(a) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and the Securityholders’ Representative will, and the Surviving Corporation will cause the Company Subsidiaries to, cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by another party, in connection with the filing of (i) any Tax Return or amended Tax Return with respect to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, (ii) audit, or (iii) litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information within such party’s possession that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries will (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Parent or the Company, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) give the Securityholders’ Representative reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the Securityholders’ Representative so requests, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, will allow the

Securityholders’ Representative to take possession of such books and records. Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, its Subsidiaries, Parent or the Company Securityholders that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(b) Tax Returns.

(i) Pre-Closing Tax Returns. The Company will prepare and file all Tax Returns relating to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries that are required to be filed on or before the Closing Date, which Tax Returns will be prepared in accordance with past practices and customs. The Company will provide Parent with copies of such Tax Returns.

(ii) Post-Closing Tax Returns. Parent will prepare and file (or cause the Surviving Corporation to prepare and file) all Tax Returns relating to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that are required to be filed after the Closing Date, which Tax Returns to the extent relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period will be prepared in accordance with the Company’s past practices and customs except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirement or as set forth in Section 6.4(b)(iii). In the event that the Taxes reflected on such Tax Returns could form the basis for a claim of indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(b), Parent will provide the portion of such Tax Returns relevant to such claim of indemnification to the Securityholders’ Representative for review and comment at least 20 days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns, will make reasonable changes consistent with all applicable Legal Requirements to such Tax Returns as requested by the Securityholders’ Representative, and will not file any such Tax Returns without the consent of the Securityholders’ Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(iii) Guidelines for Income Tax Returns. For purposes of Section 6.4(b)(ii), (A) all items accruing on the Closing Date shall be allocated to the Company’s taxable period ending on the Closing Date pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A)(1) (and not pursuant to the “next day” rule under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) or pursuant to the ratable allocation method under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) or 1.1502-76(b)(2)(iii)), (B) no election shall be made to waive any carryback of net operating losses under Section 172(b)(3) of the Code on any Tax Return of the Company filed in respect of a Pre-Closing Tax Period, and (C) all Transaction Deductions shall be deducted in Pre-Closing Tax Periods to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. Parent may, to the extent consistent with applicable Law, prepare the Tax Returns contemplated in Section 6.3(b)(ii) contrary to the preceding sentence, provided that Closing Date Net Working Capital and indemnification with respect to Taxes (including as a result of any breach of a representation or warranty in Section 2.21) shall each be calculated as if the Tax Returns had been prepared consistent with such guidelines.

(c) Tax Audits and Contests.

(i) Unless Parent has previously received notice from the Securityholders’ Representative of the existence of any Tax Contest (as defined below), Parent

will, or will cause the Company to, promptly notify the Securityholders’ Representative of any inquiries, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period for which the Company may be liable under this Agreement (such inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or similar event, a “Tax Contest”); provided, however, that no failure to give such notice will relieve the Company Securityholders of any liability hereunder except to the extent, if any, that the rights of the Company Securityholders with respect to such claim are materially prejudiced thereby. Except with respect to income Tax Returns (or information Tax Returns related to income Taxes) for taxable periods of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries ending on or before the Closing Date, Parent will have the authority to represent the interests of the Company and will have control of the defense, compromise or other resolution of any Tax Contest; provided, however, that the Securityholders’ Representative will be entitled to participate in such Tax Contest at the Company Securityholders’ expense and Parent will not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Tax Contest that could materially affect the Tax liability of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or the Company Securityholders for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or otherwise form the basis for a claim of indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(b)) without the written consent of Securityholders’ Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Securityholders’ Representative will have the authority, at the Company Securityholders’ expense, to represent the interests of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the Company Securityholders and will have control of the defense, compromise or other resolution of any Tax Contest to the extent that such Tax Contest involves Tax Returns (or information Tax Returns) related to income Taxes or Taxes in the nature of Taxes on net income for taxable periods of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries ending on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that Parent will be entitled to participate in such Tax Contest at its own expense and the Securityholders’ Representative will not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Tax Contest that is reasonably likely to materially affect the Tax liability of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or Parent for any taxable period (or portion thereof) occurring after the Closing Date without the written consent of Parent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(ii) If Parent or the Securityholders’ Representative elects, by written notice to the other party, not to control the defense of a Tax Contest that it has authority to control, the other party may assume control of the defense of such Tax Contest. In such event, the party electing not to control the defense of such Tax Contest (the “Non-Controlling Party”) will be given the opportunity to participate in, but not direct or conduct, any defense of such Tax Contest, unless such participation would affect any privilege of the party controlling the defense of such Tax Contest (the “Controlling Party”). The Non-Controlling Party’s participation under such circumstances will be subject to the Controlling Party’s right to control such defense. The Controlling Party will not settle any such Tax Contest without the consent of the Non-Controlling Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Controlling Party will (i) keep the Non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such claim and the defense thereof (including all material developments and events relating thereto) and will consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto and (ii) make available to the Non-Controlling Party any documents or materials in its possession or control that may be necessary to understand the defense of such claim (subject to protection of the attorney-client privilege). The Non-Controlling Party will furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Tax Contest (including copies of any

summons, complaints or other pleadings that may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Tax Contest.

(d) Amended Tax Returns. Except with the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, nor any Company Subsidiary shall (i) file or amend, modify or otherwise change any Tax Return of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (ii) make any Tax election with respect to, or grant an extension of any applicable statute of limitations for, any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

(e) Closing Date Course of Business. For the portion of the Closing Date after the time of Closing, other than transactions expressly contemplated hereby, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries to carry on its business only in the ordinary course in the same manner as heretofore conducted. None of Parent, Merger Sub, Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates shall make an election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Certain Tax Reporting Matters.

(i) Escrow Account. All parties hereto agree for all Tax purposes that: (A) the right of the Company Securityholders (other than in respect Company Options) to funds in the Escrow Account shall be treated as deferred contingent purchase price eligible for installment treatment under Section 453 of the Code and any corresponding provision of foreign, state or local Law, as appropriate, (B) Parent shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Account, and all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Amount, if any, or any portion thereof, shall be allocable to Parent pursuant to Section 468B(g) of the Code and Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8, (C) if and to the extent any amount in the Escrow Account is actually distributed to the Company Securityholders, interest may be imputed on such amount payable to the Company Securityholders (other than in respect of Options), as required by Section 483 or 1274 of the Code, and (D) in no event shall the aggregate payments under the Escrow Agreement to the Company Securityholders from the Escrow Account exceed $25,470,000. Clause (D) of the preceding sentence is intended to ensure that the right of the Company Securityholders (other than in respect of Company Options) to the Escrow Amount and any interest and earnings earned thereon is not treated as a contingent payment without a stated maximum selling price under Section 453 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. No party hereto shall take any action or filing position inconsistent with the foregoing, except as required by applicable Legal Requirements.

(ii) Contingency Amount. The Contingency Amount shall be treated as having been received by the Company Securityholders on the Closing Date for Tax purposes.

(iii) Payments in Respect of Options. Any payments made in respect of Company Options pursuant to this Agreement (A) shall be treated as compensation paid by the Company as and when received by the former holder of the Company Option to whom such payment is due (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be the Closing Date with respect to the Contingency Amount, and when released to the holder of the Option in the case of payments pursuant to Section 1.5(f), or upon release of funds from the Escrow Account), (B) shall be net of any Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 1.10, and (C) shall be made through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll systems at the time such payment is made. Any applicable withholding Taxes in respect of the portion of the Contingency Amount allocable to the former holders of Company Options will be withheld from the Aggregate Company Option Payment Amount payable at the Closing when distributed through the Surviving Company’s payroll system in accordance with Section 1.3(a)(ii).

5.5 Indemnification of Directors and Officers of Company.

(a) For a period of six years following the Closing, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect in the Surviving Corporation’s organizational documents or indemnification agreements the provisions regarding limitation of liability and indemnification of current or former directors, officers and employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (the “Company Indemnified Parties”), and the advancement of expenses incurred contained in the certificates of incorporation, bylaws, other organizational documents or indemnification agreements as in effect immediately prior to the date hereof and shall honor and fulfill to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law such limitation of liability and indemnification obligations, in each case with respect to matters arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Closing (including consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Subsequent to the Closing, Parent also agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify and advance expenses to the Company Indemnified Parties to the same extent as provided in the preceding sentence.

(b) For a period of six years following the Closing, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain (or cause to be maintained), in effect, either (i) the current policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company (provided, that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous in any material respect to the insured parties thereunder) with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Closing (including consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or (ii) a run off (i.e., “tail”) policy or endorsement with respect to the current policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering claims asserted within six years after the Closing arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Closing (including consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Such policies or endorsements shall name as insureds thereunder all present and former directors and officers of Company, the Company Subsidiaries, and the Surviving Corporation. To the extent not already paid at the Closing, the cost of such policies will be treated as a Specified Transaction Expense of the Company.

(c) For a period of six years following the Closing, if Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of the successors or assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation

(i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation (as the case may be) shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.5. This Section 5.5: (A) shall survive the consummation of the Merger and the Effective Time; (B) is intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives during such six year period; (C) shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation during such six year period; and (D) provides rights that are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any Company Indemnified Party, or any heir or representative of any Company Indemnified Party, may have by contract or otherwise. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be obligated to reimburse, contribute, indemnify or hold harmless any Company Securityholder pursuant to this Section 5.5 for or in connection with any Damages that such Company Securityholder is obligated to pay to any Indemnified Person under Section 8.1(b).

5.6 Employees; Benefits.

(a) For a period of 12 months after the Effective Time, Parent shall provide Continuing Employees with (i) annual base salary and base wages, and cash incentive compensation opportunities and (ii) health and welfare benefits providing coverage and benefits that are either (A) the same as provided pursuant to the employee health and welfare benefit plans maintained by Company as of the date hereof or (B) pursuant to employee health and welfare benefit plans that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than those provided to employees of Parent or its Affiliates in positions comparable to positions held by Continuing Employees in the relevant jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the ability of Parent or the surviving entity in the Merger to amend or terminate any Company Employee Plan, or Parent Employee Plan, program, policy, or arrangement in accordance with their terms and applicable law at any time after the Effective Time. The provisions contained in this Section 5.6 are included for the sole benefit of the respective Parties hereto and shall not create any right in any other Person, including, without limitation, any current or former Company Employee, any participant in any Company Employee Plan, or any beneficiary thereof or any right to continued employment with Parent or the surviving entity in the Merger, nor shall they require Parent to provide, continue, or amend any particular employee benefits after the consummation of the Merger for any current or former Company Employee.

(b) With respect to any Parent Employee Plans in which Continuing Employees become eligible to participate after the Effective Time, to the extent permitted under such Parent Employee Plans and applicable Legal Requirements, each participating Continuing Employee’s service with the Company (as well as service with any predecessor employer, solely to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized for purposes of the applicable Company Employee Plan) or any Company Subsidiary shall be treated as service with Parent or any of its Affiliates for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting, and benefit accruals; provided, however, that, except as expressly provided in Section 5.6, such service need not be recognized to any extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits.

(c) With respect to any Parent Employee Plans providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, life insurance and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee and in which Continuing Employees become eligible to participate after the Effective Time, Parent shall use its 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 such Parent Employee Plans, 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 Company Employee Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time.

5.7 Parachute Payments. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company will submit to the stockholders of the Company for Company Stockholder approval (in compliance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) for the right of any individual who is or could reasonably be expected to be, as of the Closing Date, a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) to receive payments and benefits that could be deemed a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code).

5.8 Stockholder Action.

The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are required to be performed prior to or on the Closing will survive the Closing until the date twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. The covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that are required to be performed after the Closing will continue in full force and effect after the Closing in accordance with their terms.

The indemnification obligation of the Company Securityholders under Section 8.1(b)(vii) shall survive the Closing until the 15 month anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time, such indemnification obligation shall have no further force and effect (the “Specified Indemnity Termination Date”).

If a party has sent an Indemnification Claim Notice to another

party within the time period prescribed by this subsection (a), such claim will not be extinguished by the passage of such time period and will survive until such claim has been fully and finally resolved. The Company, Parent and the Company Securityholders waive any statute of limitations to the extent inconsistent with this subsection (a).

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, any claims for Damages under this Agreement for breaches of representations, warranties or covenants shall include only those Damages that result from actual breaches of representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement; third party claims for alleged breaches of representations, warranties or covenants shall only be indemnified in the event of actual breach of this Agreement.

(c) Indemnification for Parent and Merger Sub Representations and Covenants. From and after the Closing Date, Parent will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Company Securityholder and its stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors in interest and assigns from, against and in respect of, and will compensate and reimburse such Persons for, any and all Damages actually imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against them, directly or indirectly, whether or not due to a third-party claim, arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder, and (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement.

Other than with respect to the Fundamental Representations, Section 8.1(d)(v) and any matters described in Section 8.1(b)(ii) – Section 8.1(b)(vi) (collectively, the “Excluded Matters”), all indemnification obligations of the Company Securityholders pursuant to Section 8.1(b) will be satisfied exclusively of the Escrow Amount.

(ii) Deductible. Subject to Sections 8.1(d)(v) and 9.6 and without limiting the effect of any other limitation contained in this Agreement, the indemnification obligations of the Company Securityholders provided for in Section 8.1(b)(i) and Section 8.1(b)(vii) will not apply, and the Indemnified Persons will not be entitled to exercise any indemnification rights under this Agreement, except to the extent that the aggregate amount of the Damages against which such Indemnified Persons would otherwise be entitled to be indemnified under Section 8.1(b)(i) and Section 8.1(b)(vii) exceeds $1,500,000 (the “Deductible”); provided, however, that the Deductible will not apply to any Excluded Matters. If the aggregate amount of such Damages exceeds the Deductible, then the Indemnified Person will, subject to the other limitations contained herein, be entitled to be indemnified only against the portion of such Damages in excess of the Deductible.

(v) Fraud and Criminal Actions. Nothing in this Agreement will limit any remedy any party hereto may have against any other party with respect to fraud with intent to deceive or criminal actions committed by such party.

(vi) Damages for Taxes. Except for breaches of the representations in Section 2.20(h), any Damages with respect to Taxes shall be limited to Damages relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation conducted at any time, or any knowledge acquired, capable of being acquired, or that is alleged the other party should have known, at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreements, will not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.

(e) Control of Defense; Conditions. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.4(c), which will apply to all Tax Contests, in the event that Parent or another Indemnified Person becomes aware of a third party claim (any such claim, a “Third Party Claim”) that Parent believes may result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, Parent will promptly notify the Securityholders’ Representative of such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay in providing such notice prior to the applicable Representation Termination Date will affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Company Securityholders are materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice must contain a reasonably detailed description of the basis of the claim and the nature and amount, if then reasonably ascertainable, of such Damages that may be indemnifiable. The obligations of the Company Securityholders under this Section 8 with respect to Damages arising from any Third Party Claim will be governed by the following additional terms and conditions:

(i) The Securityholders’ Representative, at its option and at the expense of the Company Securityholders, will be entitled to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim at any time within 30 days of receiving notice of the Third Party Claim from Parent and may appoint as lead counsel of such defense any legal counsel selected by the Securityholders’ Representative and reasonably acceptable to Parent. In the event that the Securityholders’ Representative assumes control of the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Securityholders’ Representative will keep Parent informed of all material events and developments, including promptly providing copies of any correspondence and court filings, with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 8.1(e)(i) above but subject to Section 8.1(e)(iv) below, the Indemnified Person will be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, that such employment will be at the Indemnified Person’s own expense unless (i) the Securityholders’ Representative has failed to assume (or elects not to assume) the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 8.1(e)(i), (ii) the named parties to any such Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company Securityholders and the Indemnified Person and, in the opinion of counsel to the Securityholders’ Representative and the Indemnified Person, there is an actual conflict of interest between the Securityholders’ Representative and the Indemnified Person, or (iii) the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that such Third Party Claim seeks material non-monetary relief, in which case the Indemnified Person will have the right, by notice to the

Securityholders’ Representative, to assume the defense of such claim and the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Person’s counsel incurred in connection with such Third Party Claim will be included in Damages; provided, however, that if it is ultimately determined by agreement of the Securityholders’ Representative and the Indemnified Person or by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder with respect to the Third Party Claim, such fees and expenses will not be Damages.

(iii) Subject to Section 8.1(e)(iv) below, neither the Securityholders’ Representative nor the Indemnified Person may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Securityholders’ Representative (A) shall solely control the defense of any claim or any contact with any third party, with respect to the Specified Indemnity Matter, and (B) may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to the Specified Matter without the prior written consent of Parent or any Indemnified Person, in each case of (A) and (B), as long as (x) the monetary remedy therefor that is to be borne by Parent and any Indemnified Person does not exceed the Specified Indemnity Cap and there are sufficient funds remaining in the Escrow Fund at the time of such consent to satisfy such monetary remedy, (y) the settlement or compromise does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against Parent or any Indemnified Person, and (z) the settlement or compromise expressly and unconditionally releases Parent and the applicable Indemnified Persons from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, without prejudice.

(f) Subrogation; Insurance.

(i) In the event that a Company Securityholder makes any payment to any Indemnified Person for indemnification for which such Indemnified Person could have collected on a claim against a third party (including under any contract and any insurance claims, but excluding any claim against an officer, director, employee, customer, supplier, or other party (other than insurance companies) in privity of contract with the Company or a Company Subsidiary), such Company Securityholder will be entitled to pursue claims and conduct litigation on behalf of such Indemnified Person to pursue and collect on any indemnification or other remedy available to such Indemnified Person thereunder with respect to such claim and generally to be subrogated to the rights of such Indemnified Person.

(ii) The amount of any Damages payable under this Section 8 will be net of amounts received by the Indemnified Person under its applicable insurance policies issued by insurance companies with respect to such Damages (determined after giving effect to any deductible associated therewith, any increase in premiums (including retropremium obligations) resulting therefrom and net of Taxes or other liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Person and/or any of its Affiliates as a result of such claim and out-of-pocket costs of collecting such insurance proceeds). If an Indemnified Person receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies issued by insurance companies subsequent to its receipt of an indemnification payment by the indemnifying parties, then such Indemnified Person will,

without duplication, promptly reimburse the indemnifying parties (net of costs and expenses of such recovery and resulting premium increases) for any payment made by such indemnifying parties up to the amount received by the Indemnified Person; provided, that the aggregate amount of reimbursement payments to the indemnifying parties in respect of any such Damages will not in any event exceed the aggregate indemnification payment received by the Indemnified Person from the indemnifying parties with respect to such Damages. Nothing in this Section 8.1(f)(ii) will be construed to require any Person to obtain or maintain any insurance coverage.

(g) No Duplication of Recovery. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) to the extent that any Damages resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company under this Agreement is taken into account as Company Debt set forth in the Closing Debt Certificate, Specified Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Expense Certificate, Company Change in Control Payments set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, a current liability, reserved or accrued, or otherwise accounted for, in determining Closing Date Net Working Capital, or on the Company Balance Sheet, or otherwise taken into account in the calculation of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, (A) no Indemnified Person may recover such Damages through a claim pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise and (B) such Damages will not be included in the determination of whether all Damages, in the aggregate, exceed the Deductible or the Cap and (ii) no Indemnified Person may recover duplicative Damages in respect of a single set of facts or circumstances under more than one representation or warranty in this Agreement, any Letter of Transmittal and/or Option Termination Agreement regardless of whether such facts or circumstances would give rise to a breach of more than one representation or warranty in this Agreement, any Letter of Transmittal and/or any Option Termination Agreement. In the event that Parent believes there are any facts or circumstances that are the basis for any adjustments to the Estimated Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 1.5 hereof, Parent will be permitted to pursue a remedy based on such facts or circumstances either as an adjustment to the Estimated Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 1.5 hereof or as an indemnification claim in accordance with this Section 8, but not both.

8.2 Exercise of Remedies by Indemnified Persons other than Parent. No Indemnified Person (other than Parent) will be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Parent consents to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.

8.3 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The parties agree that any amount paid to an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 8 will be treated as a reduction in the consideration payable hereunder for Tax purposes.

8.4 Mitigation. Promptly after Parent or the Surviving Corporation becomes aware of any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or give rise to any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 2, to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate and minimize all indemnifiable Damages that may result from such breach.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the failure of a party to exercise any of its rights hereunder or to insist upon strict adherence to any term or condition hereof on any one occasion will not be construed as a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to the terms and conditions of this Agreement at a later date. Further, no waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be deemed to or will constitute a waiver of any other term of condition hereof (whether or not similar).
