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

SECTION 1.01 The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), Sub shall be merged with and into the Company at the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation"). At the election of Parent, any direct or indirect U.S. wholly owned subsidiary of Parent may be substituted for Sub as a constituent corporation in the Merger or another wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent may acquire all of the shares of capital stock of Sub currently held by Parent. In such event, the parties shall execute an appropriate amendment to this Agreement in order to reflect the foregoing.

SECTION 1.02 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Arnold & Porter LLP, 555 12th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20004 at 10:00 a.m. on the second business day following the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by Law, waiver by all parties) of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01, or, if on such day any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or 7.03 has not been satisfied (or, to the extent permitted by Law, waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefits thereof), as soon as practicable after

all the conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied (or, to the extent permitted by Law, waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefits thereof), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed in writing between Parent and the Company. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the "Closing Date."

SECTION 1.03 Effective Time. Prior to the Closing, the parties shall prepare, and on the Closing Date shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a certificate of merger (the "Certificate of Merger") executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL to effectuate the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with such Secretary of State, or at such other time as Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being the "Effective Time").

SECTION 1.04 Effects. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 259 of the DGCL.

SECTION 1.05 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws. (a) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(b) The By-laws of Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

SECTION 1.06 Directors. The directors of Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time (which shall have been selected in consultation with the Company) shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time Subject to Section 6.13, such directors shall serve until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

SECTION 1.07 Officers. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be.

ARTICLE II

Effect on the Capital Stock of the

Constituent Corporations; Exchange of Certificates

SECTION 2.01 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Sub shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company, Parent, Sub or by any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. (1) Subject to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(d), each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive $81.00 in cash, without interest (the "Merger Consideration").

(2) As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of book-entry shares or a certificate representing any such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration and certain dividends or other distributions in accordance with Section 2.02(c) upon surrender of such certificate (or affidavit or loss in lieu thereof) or book-entry shares in accordance with Section 2.02.

(d) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares ("Appraisal Shares") of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Appraisal Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL ("Section 262") shall not be converted into Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c), but rather the holders of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 262; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder's Appraisal Shares shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c). The Company shall serve prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, any withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL received by the Company, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

SECTION 2.02 Exchange of Certificates. (a) Paying Agent. As of the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company to act as paying agent (the "Paying Agent") for the payment of the Merger Consideration upon surrender of certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or book-entry shares representing Company Common Stock. Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided to the Paying Agent on a timely basis, as and when needed after

the Effective Time, cash necessary to pay for the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(c) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund").

(b) Exchange Procedure. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (the "Certificates") or book-entry shares that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock that were converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(c) (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or book-entry shares shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or book-entry shares to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or book-entry shares in exchange for Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or book-entry shares for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or book-entry shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore the amount of cash into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or book-entry shares shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01 and certain dividends and other distributions in respect of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.02(c), and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or book-entry shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate or book-entry shares so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate or book-entry shares shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or book-entry shares or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02, each Certificate or book-entry shares shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration, without interest, and certain dividends or other distributions in accordance with Section 2.02(c). No interest shall be paid or accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate or book-entry shares.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon surrender of any Certificate or book-entry shares shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock, subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation's obligation to pay, without interest thereon, any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that may have been declared or made by the Company on such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or prior to the date of this Agreement and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were

outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for nine months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, Sub, the Company or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or book-entry shares has not been surrendered prior to five years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or book-entry shares would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any such cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate or book-entry shares shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Parent may cause the Paying Agent to invest the cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent and any losses resulting from such investments shall be borne by Parent. No such investment shall relieve Parent or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article II, and following any losses that result in the amount of cash included in the Exchange Fund to be insufficient to make the remaining payments contemplated to be paid by the Paying Agent from the Exchange Fund pursuant to this Article II, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Options, Restricted Stock Awards and RSUs, as applicable.

(g) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration with respect thereto, without interest.

(h) Withholding Rights. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or under any provision of any supranational, national, federal, state, local or municipal (whether domestic or foreign) tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Parent, the

Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as applicable.

ARTICLE III

Each of the Company and each of its subsidiaries (the "Company Subsidiaries") is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has the requisite power and authority to conduct its businesses as presently conducted. The Company and each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or their ownership or leasing of its properties make such qualification necessary, except failures to be so qualified that, individually or in the aggregate, has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made available to Parent true and complete copies of the restated certificate of incorporation of the Company, as amended to the date of this Agreement (as so amended, the "Company Charter"), and the amended and restated by-laws of the Company, as amended to the date of this Agreement (as so amended, the "Company By-laws"), and the comparable charter and organizational documents of each Company Subsidiary, in each case as amended through the date of this Agreement.

Except for the Company Restricted Stock and RSUs or as otherwise disclosed in Section 3.03 of the Company Disclosure Letter, there are no outstanding Company Stock-Based Awards. The Company has delivered to Parent true and complete copies of all Contracts in connection with all rights (other than the Company Stock Options) issued or granted by the Company or any Company Subsidiary to purchase any capital stock of, or other equity or voting interests in, the Company.

Except as set forth in Section 3.11(o) of the Company Disclosure Letter, other than such amounts that would not be material, each Foreign Plan is fully funded or fully insured on both an ongoing and termination or solvency basis (determined using reasonable actuarial assumptions), and the fair market value of the assets held under each Foreign Plan that is a pension plan or that is funded on an actuarial basis is sufficient so as to permit a termination of each such Foreign Plan, in full compliance with applicable Law, immediately after the Closing

SECTION 5.02 No Solicitation. (a) From and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated

pursuant to Section 8.01, the Company shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any Company Subsidiary to, nor shall it authorize any officer, director or employee of, or any investment banker, attorney, accountant or other advisor or representative (collectively, "Representatives") of, the Company or any Company Subsidiary to, and shall direct all Representatives of the Company or any Company Subsidiary not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, purposefully facilitate, initiate or encourage the submission of, any Company Takeover Proposal, (ii) enter into any agreement with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement in accordance with this Section 5.02) or resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions, or (iii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any information with respect to, or take any other action to purposely facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Company Takeover Proposal. The Company shall, shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, and shall direct each Representative of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal and request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to such person or its Representatives and terminate access by each such person to any online or other data rooms containing any information in respect of the Company or any Company Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company and the Representatives of the Company may, in response to a bona fide written Company Takeover Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and the Company's financial advisor) constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, and which Company Takeover Proposal was not solicited by the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Representatives and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 5.02, and subject to compliance with Section 5.02, (x) furnish information with respect to the Company and any Company Subsidiary to the person making such Company Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive as a whole of such person than the Confidentiality Agreement (provided that such confidentiality agreement and any related agreement shall not contain any provision calling for a right to negotiate exclusively with the person making such Company Takeover Proposal or having the effect of prohibiting the Company from satisfying any of its obligations under this Agreement), provided, that all information provided to a third party under this Section 5.02 is provided or made available on a substantially concurrent basis to Parent and Sub if such information has not previously been provided to Parent or Sub, and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such Company Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such Company Takeover Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.02 by any Representative of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any Representative of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.02(a) by the Company. Neither the Company nor the Company Board shall approve, or take any action to render Section 203 of the DGCL or any similar takeover statute inapplicable to, any Company Takeover Proposal other than in connection with entering into a definitive agreement with respect to a Company Superior Proposal to the extent permitted under Section 5.02(b).

(b) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) recommend the approval or adoption of any Company Takeover Proposal, (B) withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Sub) the Company Recommendation, the approval of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, (C) recommend that the stockholders of the Company reject this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or (D) resolve, agree or publicly propose to take any such actions (each such action set forth in this Section 5.02(b) (i) being referred to herein as an "Adverse Recommendation Change"), (ii) adopt or approve any Company Takeover Proposal or resolve, agree or propose to adopt or approve any Company Takeover Proposal, or (iii) cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement (each, an "Acquisition Agreement") constituting or related to, or which is intended to or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Company Takeover Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.02(a)), or resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of the Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may (i) if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and the Company's financial advisor) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the directors' exercise of their fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, make an Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) solely in response to a Superior Proposal which was not solicited by the Company, any Company Subsidiary or Affiliate, or any of their respective Representatives and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 5.02, make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f) in order to cause the Company to enter into a binding Acquisition Agreement containing the terms of a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that (A) no such termination of this Agreement by the Company may be made, in each case until after the fifth business day following Parent's receipt of written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Company Board intends to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f) and specifying, in the case of clause (i), reasonable details regarding the cause for and nature of the Adverse Recommendation Change and, in the case of clause (ii), the terms and conditions of (including in such notice a copy of the proposed agreement setting forth such terms and conditions), and the identity of any Person making, the Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notice by the Company and a new five business day period); provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that the delivery of such notice shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change, (B) the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, during such five business day period described above, negotiate with Parent and Sub in good faith, to the extent Parent and Sub desire to negotiate, to make such changes in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Company Takeover Proposal ceases to constitute a Company Superior Proposal or that the cause for such Adverse Recommendation Change ceases to exist, and (C) the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f), and any purported termination pursuant to Section 8.01(f) shall be void and of no force or effect, unless the Company shall have complied with all applicable requirements of Section 6.09(b) (including the payment of the Termination Fee prior to or simultaneously with such termination). In determining whether to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement as described in this Section

5.02(b), the Company Board shall take into account any changes to the financial and other terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to any such written notice by the Company or otherwise.

(c) The Company shall promptly (but in no case later than 48 hours after receipt) advise Parent orally and in writing of the receipt of any Company Takeover Proposal and of the price and other material terms and conditions of any such Company Takeover Proposal (including the identity of the Person making such Company Takeover Proposal) and of any changes or supplements thereto. The Company (i) promptly (but in no case later than 48 hours thereafter) shall advise Parent orally and in writing of the commencement of any discussions with any third party or its representatives regarding a Company Takeover Proposal by such third party and (ii) will keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of any material related developments, discussions, and negotiations and shall provide to Parent promptly (but in no case later than 48 hours) after receipt or delivery thereof all material terms of such Company Takeover Proposal (including any amendments or supplements thereto and other information provided in writing to the Company by the party making such Company Takeover Proposal).

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) complying with Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company's stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with outside counsel, failure so to disclose would be inconsistent with the directors' exercise of their fiduciary duties or any other obligation of the directors or the Company under applicable Law; provided, that any such compliance or disclosure (other than a "stop, look and listen" letter or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Board of Directors of the Company publicly reaffirms its recommendation in favor of the adoption of this Agreement within two (2) business days after a request by Parent to do so.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement:

"Company Takeover Proposal" means any proposal or offer (i) for a merger, consolidation, dissolution, recapitalization or other business combination involving the Company, (ii) for the issuance by the Company of over 20% of its equity securities as consideration for the assets or securities of another person or (iii) to acquire in any manner (including by tender offer or otherwise), directly or indirectly, over 20% of the equity securities or consolidated total assets of the Company, in each case other than the Merger.

"Company Superior Proposal" means any bona fide written offer by a third party that (i) if consummated would result in such third party (or in the case of a direct merger between such third party and the Company, the stockholders of such third party) acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting power of the Company Common Stock or all or

substantially all the assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, for consideration consisting of cash and/or securities, (ii) that the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with the Company's financial advisor and after considering such factors as the Company Board considers to be appropriate, including the legal, financial, timing, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal), if consummated, would result in a transaction that is more favorable to the Company's stockholders than the Merger, taking into account, among other things, any changes to the terms of this Agreement offered by Parent in response to such Company Superior Proposal or otherwise, and (iii) is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal.

Statement as promptly as practicable. The Company further agrees to cause the Proxy Statement as so corrected or supplemented promptly to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the holders of the Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws.

SECTION 6.02 Stockholders Meeting.

Subject to Section 5.02, the Company shall, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, in accordance with applicable Law, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of the Company's stockholders for the purpose of voting upon the adoption and approval of this Agreement (the "Special Meeting"). At such Special Meeting, and except to the extent permitted by Section 5.02, the Company shall make the Company Recommendation. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 8.01, the Company shall submit this Agreement to its stockholder at its Special Meeting even if its Board of Directors shall have effected an Adverse Recommendation Change.

Parent shall vote, or cause to be voted, all of the shares of Company Common Stock then owned by it, Sub or any of its other Subsidiaries and Affiliates (other than any shares of Company Common Stock that may be owned, for investment purposes only, by a pension or other plan for the benefit of the employees of Parent, its ultimate parent company, or their respective Affiliates) in favor of the approval of the Merger and the adoption of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.03 Access to Information; Confidentiality; Cooperation.

(a) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, afford to Parent, and to Parent's officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors, financing sources and other representatives, reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice from Parent during the period prior to the Effective Time to their respective properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, furnish promptly to Parent (a) a copy of each material report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of supranational, national, federal, state, local or municipal (whether domestic or foreign) Law and (b) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be subject to the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement dated as of January 30, 2008 between the Company and Parent (the "Confidentiality Agreement").

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide access to,

or cause the Company Subsidiaries to provide access to, any information or documents which would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, (i) breach any agreement of the Company or any Company Subsidiary with any third-party including for these purposes considerations regarding the terms reasonably expected to be included in a Special Security Agreement or other agreement to mitigate FOCI), (ii) constitute a waiver of the attorney-client or other privilege held by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, (iii) otherwise violate any applicable Laws, or (iv) which would result in a competitor of the Company or any Company Subsidiary receiving material information which is competitively sensitive. Parent and the Company shall cooperate and consult with each other to develop announcement materials and undertake discussions with customers, partners and prime contractors of Material Contracts to which the Company or a Company Subsidiary is a subcontractor, and make appropriate management available at presentations related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as reasonably requested by the other party, in each case, in a manner that would not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries.

(b) Parent shall use its reasonable efforts to (i) arrange and implement the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter (together, the "Financing Commitments"), (ii) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in the Financing Commitments (or on revised terms no less favorable in any material respect to Parent (as determined in the reasonable judgment of Parent)), which agreements shall be in effect as promptly as practicable after the date hereof in no event later than the Closing, and (iii) consummate the financing under the Commitment Letter no later than the Closing. In the event that any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable in the manner or from the sources contemplated in the Financing Commitments, (A) Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing and (B) Parent and Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain any such portion from alternative sources, on terms that are no more adverse in any material respect (the "Alternative Financing Commitments"), as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event, including entering into definitive agreements with respect thereto (such definitive agreements entered into pursuant to the first or second sentence of this Section being referred to as the "Financing Agreements"). Parent and Sub shall, and shall cause their affiliates and Representatives to, use their reasonable efforts to comply with the terms, and satisfy on a timely basis the conditions that are within their control of the Financing Commitments, any Alternative Financing Commitments, the Financing Agreements and any related fee and engagement letters, except for any failure to so comply or satisfy that would not materially adversely affect Parent's or Sub's ability to perform its obligations upon Closing of the Merger. Parent shall (x) furnish complete, correct and executed copies of the Financing Agreements promptly upon their execution, (y) give the Company prompt notice of any material breach by any party of any of the Financing Commitments, any Alternative Financing Commitment or the Financing Arrangements of which Parent or Sub becomes aware or any termination thereof and (z) otherwise keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis, at all times during the period between the date hereof and the Closing, of any material developments regarding its efforts to arrange the Financing (or any replacement thereof). From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time, the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, or the date on which the Board shall have made an Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall provide to Parent and Sub, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the

respective officers, employees and Representatives of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, provide to Parent and Sub and any affiliate of Parent designated by Parent all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent that is necessary or reasonably required in connection with the financing to be provided under the Commitment Letter and any equity, debt or other securities issuance or loan to refinance or to replace all or any part of such financing (together, the "Financing"), including the following: (i) causing the Company's senior officers and using its reasonable best efforts to cause its other Representatives to participate in meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions (including accounting due diligence sessions), drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies; (ii) assisting with the preparation of appropriate and customary materials for rating agency presentations, offering documents, bank information memoranda (including the delivery of customary representation letters) and similar documents reasonably required in connection with the Financing; (iii) assist with the preparation of, and executing, any pledge and security documents, any loan agreement, currency or interest hedging agreement, other definitive financing documents on terms reasonably satisfactory to Parent, or other certificates, legal opinions or documents as may be reasonably requested by financing sources and reasonable and customary for receiving equivalent financing, to become effective only on or after the Effective Time; (iv) facilitate or execute the pledging of collateral; (v) using reasonable best efforts to furnish on a confidential basis to Parent and Sub and their financing sources, as promptly as practicable, with financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company and in the Company's possession or control as may be reasonably requested by financing sources, including all financial statements and other financial data as may be reasonably required and customary in receiving equivalent financing; (vi) providing monthly financial statements to the extent the Company customarily prepares such financial statements within the time such statements are customarily prepared; and (vii) using reasonable best efforts to cause its independent accountants to cooperate with and assist Parent in preparing customary and appropriate information packages and offering materials as the parties to the Financing may reasonably request for use in connection with the offering and/or syndication of equity securities, debt securities, loan participations and other matters relating to the Financing; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall require senior officers and other Representatives of the Company to participate in meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions in a manner that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the Company's or such Representatives' business; provided further that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, until the Effective Time occurs, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or put in effect any collateral, encumbrance, pledge or similar arrangement with respect to any of the Company's or the Company Subsidiaries' assets. Parent shall, promptly upon written request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs to the extent such costs are incurred by the Company or its subsidiaries at the request of Parent in connection with such cooperation provided by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, their respective officers, employees and other Representatives pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.03(b) or in connection with compliance with its obligations under this Section 6.03(b) and Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective officers, employees and Representatives from and against any and all liabilities or losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than arising from information provided in writing by the Company or any Company Subsidiary specifically for use in connection with the Financing or its

subsidiaries), except in the event such liabilities or losses arose out of or result from the wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives. The Company hereby consents to the use of its and its subsidiaries' logos in connection with the Financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company or any Company Subsidiary be required to incur, guarantee or otherwise become an obligor on any indebtedness, grant any lien or pledge any assets, or otherwise enter into any agreement or action as part of the Financing that would be or otherwise cause a Default under any of the Indentures governing the Notes.

SECTION 6.04 Reasonable Best Efforts; Notification. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Entities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entity, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, (iii) the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) In connection with and without limiting the foregoing,

(i) as soon as practicable, Parent and the Company shall jointly submit to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS") a draft voluntary notice of the Merger pursuant to Exon-Florio and, within approximately five (5) business days thereafter, a final Exon-Florio notice. Parent and the Company shall each, to their fullest ability, provide CFIUS with any additional or supplemental information requested by CFIUS or its member agencies during the Exon-Florio review process. Parent and the Company, in cooperation with each other, shall each take all commercially reasonable steps advisable, necessary or desirable to finally and successfully complete the Exon-Florio review process as promptly as practicable. In addition, as soon as practicable, Parent and the Company shall prepare and submit to the Defense Security Service ("DSS") of the United States Department of Defense ("DoD") and, to the extent applicable, any other agency of the United States Government, notification of the Merger pursuant to the NISPOM and any other applicable national or industrial security regulations, and fully cooperate in requesting from DSS approval to operate the business of the Company pursuant to a proposed FOCI mitigation plan in accordance with the NISPOM.

NISPOM and, where necessary to perform contracts requiring access to Navy Nuclear Propulsion Information or proscribed classified information as defined in the NISPOM, a Proxy Agreement in accordance with the NISPOM. With the exception of an SSA covering the Company or a Proxy Agreement that does not result in a Proxy Threshold Event, neither Parent nor the Company shall be required to agree to any other structural or conduct remedy pursuant to this paragraph which would have a material adverse effect on the business of Parent and/or the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole after giving effect to the Merger;

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, should a Proxy Threshold Event occur in which the Company and/or the Company Subsidiaries be required to place under a Proxy Agreement operations of the Company and/or the Company Subsidiaries that account for a percentage equal to 35.0% or more but less than 40.0% of the Company’s total revenue during the immediately preceding fiscal year, prior to exercising its termination rights under Section 8.01(g) herein, Parent shall consult with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company for a 30-day period (provided that in no event shall such period extend beyond the Outside Date) regarding the potential for Parent to waive its termination right under Section 8.01(g), and such consultation shall take into account the extent to which the inclusion of any business operations under the Proxy Agreement would not impact the expected synergies of the combined company;

(iii) each party shall take promptly all reasonable actions necessary to make all notifications and filings required for the transactions contemplated hereby under applicable competition Laws (including the HSR Act), and submitting responses to all requests for further information from the applicable Governmental Entities that are responsible for applying merger control or antitrust legislation (the "Competition Authorities"), in each case, in substantial compliance with the requirements of the applicable competition Law, and shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under applicable competition Law or requested by any Competition Authorities. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly any clearance required under the HSR Act or other applicable competition Laws for the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and the Company shall each use its respective best efforts to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under the HSR Act or other applicable competition Laws that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger so as to enable the consummation of the Merger to occur on or prior to the date specified in Section 8.01(b)(i); provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to enter into any structural or conduct remedy which would have a material adverse effect on the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation;

(iv) the Company and the Company Board shall (A) take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to any transactions contemplated hereby or this Agreement and (ii) if any state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to this Agreement, take all action necessary to ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby

may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by the this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and

(v) the Company shall cooperate with Parent in the preparation of all notifications and filings required to be filed by Parent with any Governmental Entities within 30 days after the Closing Date in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and in submitting responses to all requests for further information from the applicable Governmental Entities, including without limitation providing to Parent all information reasonably requested by Parent for the purpose of preparing all such notifications and filings.

(c) Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Sub, on the other hand, shall, with regard to the review and/or defense of the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) promptly inform and provide the other a copy of any material communication received by such party from the Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, other Competition Authorities, CFIUS or any other Governmental Entity or private litigant; and (ii) permit the other party reasonable time and notice to (x) review and comment in advance on any material communication to be made or delivered to any such Governmental Entity or private litigant, including any proposed understanding, undertakings, or agreements, (y) consult with the other party in advance of any meeting or conference with any such Governmental Entity or private litigant, and (z) attend and participate in such meetings and conferences (to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity or private litigant).

(d) The Company shall deliver to Parent at the Closing a duly executed and acknowledged certificate, in form and substance acceptable to Parent and in compliance with the Code and Treasury regulations, certifying such facts as to establish that the sale of Company Common Stock is exempt from withholding under Section 1445 of the Code.

(e) Parent agrees that the Company will be operated as a stand-alone subsidiary of Parent's group in accordance with the NISPOM following the Merger with the objective of continuity of management and operations. Parent plans to grow the business of the Company as part of the Parent group, as well as the overall business of Parent group, in the United States and expects to work with management and the board of directors of the Company following the Merger to promote and further such goals of growth. Parent currently plans to continue operating the businesses of the Surviving Corporation after the Merger substantially as they exist prior to the Merger, except as may otherwise be required in connection with any governmental regulatory approval or by Law.

SECTION 6.05 Stock Options; Restricted Stock; RSUs. (a) As of the Effective Time, each unexercised Company Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not then vested) shall be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to (A) the excess, if any, of (1) the Merger Consideration per share of Company Common Stock over (2) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, multiplied by (B) the number

of shares of Company Common Stock for which such Company Stock Option shall not theretofore have been exercised, which amount shall be paid immediately following the Effective Time, without interest.

(b) As of the Effective Time, each share of Company Restricted Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become at the Effective Time fully vested and free of restrictions on transfer and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration subject to the terms and conditions of Article II hereof.

(c) As of the Effective Time, each RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted at the Effective Time (whether or not then vested) into the right to receive, for each share of the Company's Common Stock that would be issuable upon the vesting of such RSU, a cash payment equal to the per share Merger Consideration, which amount shall be paid immediately following the Effective Time, without interest.

(d) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to implement the foregoing provision of this Section 6.05.

(e) All amounts payable pursuant to Sections 6.05(a) through (c) shall be subject to any required withholding taxes or proof of eligibility of exemption therefrom.

SECTION 6.06 Company Debt Instruments. (a) The Company shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, in accordance with the applicable provisions of each of the indentures relating to (i) the $345 million aggregate principal amount of 2% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Convertible Notes"), (ii) the $550 million aggregate principal amount of 67/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013, (iii) the $350 million aggregate principal amount of 65/8% Senior Notes due 2016 and (iv) the $250 million aggregate principal amount of 75/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (such Convertible Notes and other Notes, collectively, the "Notes" and such indentures, collectively, the "Indentures"), to the trustee under each such Indenture and to each Holder (as defined in each respective Indenture), any notices required by the Indentures by virtue of a Fundamental Change or Change of Control (each as defined in each Indenture).

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall be obligated to take all such further actions, including the delivery of any officers' certificates and opinions of counsel required by the Indentures, as may be necessary to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Indentures.

SECTION 6.07 Employee Matters.

(a) All employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be employed by the Surviving Corporation or its

Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (the "Continuing Employees"). Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide, for the period commencing on the Effective Time through and including December 31, 2009, the Continuing Employees with compensation and employee benefits that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable to the compensation (including base salary, annual cash-based incentive compensation opportunities and the value of equity-based incentive compensation) and employee benefits (disregarding any severance benefits provided under any executive employment agreement) provided to such individuals by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent agrees that the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Surviving Corporation’s employee benefit plans established following the Closing Date and any other employee benefit plans covering the Continuing Employees following the Effective Time, but excluding any incentive compensation plans of the Parent (the included plans being, collectively, the "Post-Closing Plans"), to recognize the service of each Continuing Employee (including service recognized by the Company) for purposes of eligibility, vesting and determination of the level of benefits (but not for benefit accrual purposes) under the Post-Closing Plans, solely to the extent that such Post-Closing Plans are made available to the Continuing Employees. For the calendar year including the Effective Time, the Continuing Employees shall not be required to satisfy any deductible, co-payment, out-of-pocket maximum or similar requirements under the Post-Closing Plans that provide medical, dental and other welfare benefits (collectively, the "Post-Closing Welfare Plans") to the extent of amounts previously credited for such purposes under the Company Plans that provide medical, dental and other welfare benefits (the "Company Welfare Plans"). Any waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions and requirements to show evidence of good health contained in such Post-Closing Welfare Plans shall be waived with respect to the Continuing Employees (except to the extent any such waiting period, pre-existing condition exclusion, or requirement of show evidence of good health was already in effect with respect to such employees and that have not been satisfied under the applicable Company Welfare Plan in which the participant then participates or is otherwise eligible to participate as of immediately prior to the Effective Time).

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as of the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor in accordance with their terms, all employment, change in control, severance and other compensation plans, agreements and arrangements existing immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement which are between the Company or any Subsidiary and any director, officer or employee thereof or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary and, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 6.07(b)of the Company Disclosure Letter (each a "Company Agreement"); provided, that nothing herein shall prevent the Surviving Corporation from amending any such Company Agreement in accordance with its terms, including such amendments as may be necessary to avoid the imposition of a tax under Section 409A of the Code. Parent and the Company hereby agree that the occurrence of the Closing shall constitute a "Change in Control" for purposes of any Company Agreement and all Company Benefit Plans and related trusts set forth in Section 6.07(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Parent and the Company further agree that the occurrence of the Closing shall constitute Good Reason (as defined therein) with respect to the four employment agreements identified in Section 6.07(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter (each a "Specified Agreement"). At the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay to the Continuing Employees who are parties to the

Specified Agreements the amounts provided under Section 5.3(b)(ii)(B) of the respective Specified Agreements.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of the Surviving Corporation to terminate, any Continuing Employee following the Effective Time or (ii) subject to the limitations and requirements specifically set forth in this Section 6.07, require the Surviving Corporation to continue any Parent Plan or Company Benefit Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof in each case in accordance with the terms of such Parent Plan or Company Benefit Plan after the Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an amendment of any employee benefit plan or policy of the Parent or its affiliates, and (y) except to the extent provided in Section 6.07(h), no provision of this Section 6.07 shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent of such employee or former employee) of the Company in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) or any other matter.

(d) Parent acknowledges that the Company shall be entitled to pay the annual cash bonuses earned by employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of the Company's fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, in the ordinary course (with the amounts of such bonuses being determined in a manner consistent with past practices) and at the time that such bonuses would ordinarily be paid. The Surviving Corporation shall pay annual cash bonuses under a substantially equivalent annual incentive plan established for the Company's fiscal year commencing on April 1, 2008 in such amounts as it shall reasonably determine based on the financial results of the Company during such fiscal year and other applicable performance criteria. If Parent and the Surviving Corporation operate on a calendar fiscal year and determine to pay bonuses based on a fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, bonus amounts shall be pro rated for the shortened year and the subsequent annual bonus period shall commence January 1, 2009.

(e) The Company shall pay or provide cash retention bonus payments to the Continuing Employees in such amounts and upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in Section 6.07(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(f) At the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company to, provide an incentive compensation program for management of the Surviving Corporation (the "Management Incentive Program") in order to provide participants with incentive compensation that is intended to replace and provide economic value that is substantially comparable on an overall basis to that provided by the equity-based incentive compensation plans of the Company (it being recognized that stock options will not be a component of the Management Incentive Program).

(g) The Parties agree that the Company shall enter into a new employment agreement with the current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "CEO"), effective on the Closing Date, providing for (i) base salary and bonus opportunities that are no less favorable than the base salary and bonus opportunities currently in effect for the CEO under his Company Agreement, as listed in Section 6.07(g) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the "CEO Agreement"), and (ii) such other terms and conditions that are substantially comparable on an overall basis (taking into account the full term of the agreement) to the other terms and conditions currently in effect for the CEO under the CEO Agreement. Parent agrees that following the Effective Time it will cause the Surviving Corporation to enter into agreements or arrangements with the officers of the Company set forth in Section 6.07(g) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the "Other Executives") providing for (x) base salary and bonus opportunities that are no less favorable than the base salary and bonus opportunities currently in effect for the Other Executives under their respective Company Agreements as listed in Section 6.07(g) of the Company Disclosure Letter (collectively, the "Executive Agreements") and (y) such other terms and conditions that are substantially comparable on an overall basis (taking into account the full term of the agreement) to the other terms and conditions currently in effect for such Other Executives under their respective Executive Agreements. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Section 6.07(g), severance and other customary terms shall be negotiated.

(h) The last two sentences of Section 6.07(b) and the provisions of Section 6.07(g) are intended for the benefit of the individuals set forth in Section 6.07(h) of the Company Disclosure Letter, all of whom shall be third party beneficiaries of such provisions.

SECTION 6.08 Indemnification. (a) Parent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, cause the Surviving Corporation to keep in effect all of the Company's obligations to indemnify (including any obligations to advance funds for expenses) the current or former directors or officers of the Company or its Subsidiaries for acts or omissions by such directors or officers occurring prior to the Effective Time to the extent that such obligations of the Company exist on the date of this Agreement, whether pursuant to the Company Charter, the Company By-laws, the organizational documents of any Company Subsidiaries, individual indemnity agreements, by Law or otherwise, and such obligations shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Company Charter, the Company By-laws, Law and such individual indemnity agreements from the Effective Time until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any claims against such directors or officers arising out of such acts or omissions.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.08(a), during the period beginning on the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, to the fullest extent that the Company would be permitted by applicable Law, the Surviving Corporation will: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each of the current and former directors or officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries against and from any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arises out of or pertains to the Merger, the Merger

Agreement and any transactions contemplated hereby; and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation the expenses (including attorneys' fees) of any such director or officer upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without the Surviving Corporation's prior written consent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (selected by a plurality of the applicable directors and/or officers) for all such directors and/or officers in any jurisdiction with respect to any single such claim unless the use of one counsel for such director or officer would present such counsel with a conflict of interest that would make such joint representation inappropriate for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6.08(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.08(b)or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation shall not (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of the applicable directors or officers covered by the settlement from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(c) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by the Company (provided that Parent may substitute therefor policies with reputable and financially sound carriers of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the beneficiaries thereof) with respect to claims arising from or related to facts or events which occurred at or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to make annual premium payments for such insurance to the extent such premiums exceed 200% of the annual premiums paid as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance (such 200% amount, the "Maximum Premium"). If such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at all, or can only be obtained at an annual premium in excess of the Maximum Premium, Parent shall maintain the most advantageous policies of directors' and officers' insurance obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 6.08 shall survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, and shall be enforceable by the current and former directors and officers of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their successors, heirs or representatives. In the event that the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.08.

SECTION 6.09 Fees and Expenses. (a) Except as may be otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(b) In the event that (i) (A) a Company Takeover Proposal has been made to the Company or its stockholders or a Company Takeover Proposal shall have otherwise become publicly known, (B) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i) or Section 8.01(b)(iii), and (C) within 12 months after such termination, the Company or any of its subsidiaries enters into any Acquisition Agreement with respect to, or consummates, any Company Takeover Proposal (provided that, solely for purposes of this Section 6.09(b), the number "40" shall be substituted for the number "20" in the definition of Company Takeover Proposal), (ii) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(f), or (iii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(c), then the Company shall pay Parent a fee equal to $90,000,000 (the "Termination Fee") by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent (x) in the case of a termination by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(f), prior to or simultaneously with such termination, (y) in the case of a termination by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(c), within two business days after such termination and (z) in the case of a payment as a result of any event referred to in Section 6.09(b)(i)(C), upon the consummation of such Company Takeover Proposal.

(c) The Company acknowledges that the agreement contained in Section 6.09(b) is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, without this agreement the Company would not have entered into this Agreement, and that the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.09 do not constitute a penalty. Accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to pay any amounts due to Parent pursuant to Section 6.09(b) within the time periods specified in Section 6.09(b), and in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a claim, suit, proceeding or other action that results in a final, non-appealable Judgment against the Company, the Company shall pay to Parent interest on the amount set forth it is required to pay under this Section 6.09 from and including the date payment of such amount was due to but excluding the date of actual payment at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made plus 1%, together with reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with such claim, suit, proceeding or other action.

SECTION 6.10 Public Announcements. Parent and Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to the rules of any securities exchange or self regulatory authority (including the New York Stock Exchange and the Borsa Italiana).

SECTION 6.11 Transfer Taxes. Subject to Section 2.02(b), all stock transfer, real estate transfer, documentary, stamp, recording and other similar taxes (including

interest, penalties and additions to any such taxes) ("Transfer Taxes") incurred in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by either Parent or the Surviving Corporation, and the Company shall cooperate with Sub and Parent in preparing, executing and filing any tax returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes, including supplying in a timely manner any information with respect to such property that is reasonably necessary to complete such tax returns.

SECTION 6.12 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate, subject to a customary joint defense agreement, in, but not control, the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company and its directors relating to any of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

SECTION 6.13 Director Resignations.

As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, each director of the Surviving Corporation shall resign and appoint a successor director in accordance with the requirements of NISPOM. Such directors shall serve until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

(i) if the Merger is not consummated on or before December 15, 2008 (the "Outside Date"), unless the failure to consummate the Merger is the result of a material breach of this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement in a manner that shall have caused the failure of the consummation of the Merger prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that if, as of the Outside Date, all conditions to each party’s obligations to effect the Merger set forth in Article VII have been satisfied or waived (other than those that are satisfied

(d) by written notice of Parent, if the Company breaches or fails to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.02(a) or 7.02(b), and (ii) cannot be cured or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of written notice to the Company of such breach (provided that Parent is not then in willful and material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement);
