Section 1.5 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to read identically to (except with respect to any changes necessary so that they shall be in compliance with Section 5.7) the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Purchaser as of the date hereof and as so amended shall be the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Laws (and subject to Section 5.7).

(b) The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, become the officers of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

Section 2.1 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 common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) or any shares of capital stock of Purchaser:

(a) Capital Stock of Purchaser. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Purchaser shall be converted into and become one validly issued, 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- and Purchaser-Owned Stock. Any shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock, and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Purchaser, shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock (including, subject to Section 2.4, shares of Company Common Stock underlying any outstanding contingent equity grant issued pursuant to an award agreement but other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(b), Dissenting

Shares and shares described in Section 2.1(d)) shall thereupon be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Per Share Price without interest and subject to any applicable withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 2.2(g) (such amount, the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be issued or outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and the holders immediately prior to the Effective Time of shares of Company Common Stock not represented by certificates (“Book-Entry Shares”) and the holders of certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Book-Entry Share or Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(b) without interest (subject to all applicable withholding Tax).

(d) Excluded Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock held by any Company Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of Parent (other than Purchaser) will remain outstanding with appropriate adjustments to the number thereof to preserve the relative percentage interest in the Company represented by such shares.

Section 2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock to receive the funds to which holders of such shares of Company Common Stock shall become entitled pursuant to this Agreement and enter into an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company with the Paying Agent relating to the services to be performed by the Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall take all steps necessary to enable and cause Purchaser to, deposit with the Paying Agent funds equal to the aggregate Merger Consideration payable to holders of shares of Company Common Stock (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration” or the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund may, as determined by Parent, pending its disbursement pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, be invested by the Paying Agent in (i) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America or (ii) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest. Any interest and other income from such investments shall become part of the Payment Fund; provided, that any amount in the Payment Fund in excess of the Aggregate Merger Consideration payable hereunder shall be disbursed to the Surviving Corporation upon the termination of the Payment Fund pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.2(e). No investment by the Paying Agent of the Payment Fund shall relieve Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article II and Parent shall promptly replace any portion of the Payment Fund lost through any investment made pursuant to this Section 2.2(a). No investment by the Paying Agent of the Payment Fund shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Payment Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Common Stock (i) a letter of transmittal (which, in the case of shares of Company Common Stock represented by Certificates, shall

specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree and shall be prepared prior to Closing) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Paying Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions (and such other customary documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent), the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, subject to any required withholding Taxes, the Merger Consideration, without interest, for each share of Company Common Stock surrendered, and any Certificates surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (A) the Person requesting such exchange present proper evidence of transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II, without interest.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of shares of Company Common Stock upon the surrender for exchange in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock, and at the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that evidenced ownership of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration pursuant to and in accordance with this Article II.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Paying Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article II.

(e) Termination of Payment Fund. At any time following the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest or other income received with respect thereto) that had been made available to the Paying Agent and which have not been disbursed in accordance with this Article II, and thereafter Persons entitled to receive payment pursuant to this Article II shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the payment of any Merger Consideration, that may be payable upon surrender of any Company Common Stock held by such holders, pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, without any interest thereon. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official or a Governmental Authority pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Withholding Taxes. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to a holder of shares 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 applicable provision of state, local or foreign Laws related to Taxes. To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.3 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time which are held by a stockholder (each, a “Dissenting Stockholder”) who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and complies in all respects with, the provisions of Sections 351.447 and/or 351.455, as applicable, of the MGBCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (except as provided in this Section 2.3), but instead such Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such shares of Company Common Stock held by such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 351.447 and/or 351.455, as applicable, of the MGBCL (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such Dissenting Stockholder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Sections 351.447 and/or 351.455, as applicable, of the MGBCL), unless and until such Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to properly perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost rights to appraisal under the MGBCL. If any Dissenting

Stockholder shall have failed to properly perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such Dissenting Stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration for each such share of Company Common Stock, in accordance with Section 2.1, without any interest thereon and less all applicable withholding Taxes. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, any effective or attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the MGBCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity and right to participate in, direct and/or control, at Parent’s election, all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the MGBCL to the extent permitted under applicable Laws. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, settle or offer to settle, or approve the withdrawal of, any such demands for appraisal.

Section 2.4 Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) Each option that represents the right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not then vested or exercisable) (each, an “Option”) shall at the Effective Time be canceled and terminated in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the Effective Time times (y) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Price over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock under such Option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment, and the holders thereof shall have no further rights with respect thereto; provided that if the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock under any such Option is equal to or greater than the Per Share Price, such Option shall be canceled and terminated at the Effective Time without any cash payment being made or payable in respect thereof.

(b) Each share of Company Common Stock issued, and each share of Company Common Stock underlying any outstanding contingent equity grant issued pursuant to an award agreement awarded, pursuant to any Company Stock Plan that is subject to specified vesting criteria (each, a share of “Restricted Stock”) which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall at the Effective Time become fully vested and be treated in accordance with Section 2.1 and shall not be assumed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation; provided that, any award of shares of Restricted Stock subject to certain vesting criteria for which the applicable performance or time period has not yet been completed as of the Effective Time, shall vest in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Company Stock Plans. At the Effective Time, all outstanding dividends associated with each share of Restricted Stock that becomes vested pursuant to this Section 2.4(b), shall be paid out by the Company in a cash lump sum.

(c) The Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 2.4 to any holder of Options and shares of Restricted Stock such amounts as the Surviving Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of state, or local Law related to Tax, and the Surviving Corporation shall make any required filings with and payments to taxing authorities relating to any such deduction or

withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Surviving Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Options or Restricted Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation.

(d) No later than the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to the Surviving Corporation all funds necessary to fulfill the obligations under this Section 2.4. All payments required under this Section 2.4 shall be made at the Effective Time.

Section 2.5 Adjustments. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur as a result of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, any stock dividend or stock or option issuance or distribution with a record date during such period, the Per Share Price shall be equitably adjusted, and such adjustment shall provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect, and impose on Parent and Purchaser no greater than the same economic obligation, as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.5 shall be deemed to permit or authorize the Company to effect any such change that it is not otherwise authorized or permitted to undertake pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.6 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by the Company, Parent, Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of the Company or otherwise) to take and shall take such action.

ARTICLE III

The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each subsidiary of the Company (each, a “Company Subsidiary”) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, except to the extent the failure of any such Company Subsidiary to be in good standing would not result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.

As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent under any term or condition of the Equity Funding Letters or the Debt Commitment Letter in each case that would, individually or in the aggregate, permit the financial institutions party thereto to terminate, or to not make the initial funding of the facilities to be established thereunder upon satisfaction of all conditions thereto.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, and its and their respective directors, officers and employees not to, and shall direct, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause, its other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal or the making or consummation thereof, (ii) engage in, enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions (except to notify such Person of the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.2) or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public material information in connection with or for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating, any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, (iii) enter into any letter of intent, legal commitment or agreement to effectuate a Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) or any Contract or legal commitment requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Transactions or (iv) direct any Representatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 5.2(a).

Takeover Proposal and any of its Representatives, provided, that (i) substantially concurrently (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) the Company makes available to Parent such information or access (provided that access to any information the Company deems competitively sensitive may be be granted to Parent or its Representatives in accordance with the terms of the Clean Team Agreement) to the extent such information or access was not previously made available to Parent and (ii) prior to furnishing any material non-public information to any such Person, the Company receives from the Person making such Takeover Proposal an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement.

The Company will keep Parent reasonably apprised on a prompt and timely basis of the status and material terms of such Takeover Proposal and with respect to any change in the price or any material terms thereof within 24 hours of such material change, including the delivery to Parent of any draft agreements or other written material reflecting any such changes to price or the material terms of such Takeover Proposal. The Company shall not terminate, amend, modify, waive or fail to enforce any provision of any “standstill” or similar obligation of any Person unless the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company Board shall not (i) withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser, the Company Board Recommendation (including any failure to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement when mailed), (ii) approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse or recommend to the Company Stockholders a Takeover Proposal, (iii) fail to publicly recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer for the Shares within five (5) Business Days after commencement of such offer or against any Takeover Proposal, (iv) enter into any definitive agreement providing for a Takeover Proposal or (v) resolve or publicly propose to take any action described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) (each of the foregoing actions described in clauses (i) through (v) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (but subject to the Company’s compliance in all material respects with the provisions of this Section 5.2), the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change only in response to the Company receiving an Unsolicited Takeover Proposal that the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal, cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) and, prior to or substantially concurrently with such termination, cause the Company to enter into a definitive written agreement providing for such Superior Proposal if, and only if, in all cases, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(e) The Company may not make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) unless: (A) the Company complies in all material respects with this Section 5.2, (B) the Company provides Parent prior written notice of its intent to make any Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) at least five (5) Business Days prior to taking such action, to the effect that the Company Board has received a Superior Proposal and, absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company Board has resolved to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii), which notice shall specify the basis for such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or termination, the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal and the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal, and include a copy of the then current forms of all of the relevant proposed transaction documents related thereto, including definitive agreements with respect to such Superior Proposal and any financing commitment relating thereto (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) (it being understood that such Notice of Superior Proposal shall not in itself be deemed a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and that any material revision or amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and, in such case, all references to five (5) Business Days in this Section 5.2(e) shall be deemed to be three (3) Business Days); (C) during such five (5) or three (3) Business Day period, as applicable, if requested by Parent, the Company shall have made its Representatives reasonably available, and directed its Representatives, to discuss and negotiate with Parent’s Representatives any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (D) Parent has not, within such five (5) or three (3) Business Day period, as applicable, made a written, binding and irrevocable offer capable of being accepted by the Company to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement such that such Takeover Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; and (E) the Company Board, after taking into account any modifications to the terms of this Agreement and the Merger agreed to by Parent and Purchaser after receipt of such notice, continues to believe that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders if the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law or (iii) informing any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 5.2; or (iv) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the Company Stockholders). No disclosures under this Section 5.2(f) shall be, in themselves, a breach of Section 5.2 or Section 5.3 or a basis for Parent to terminate this Agreement.

(g) As used in this Agreement, “Takeover Proposal” shall mean any bona fide proposal or offer from any Person or “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) (other than Parent, Purchaser and any of its Affiliates thereof) to purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (a) assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (including securities of Subsidiaries, but excluding sales of assets in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice) that account for 15% or more of the Company’s consolidated assets or from which 15% or more of the Company’s revenues or earnings on a consolidated basis are derived, (b) beneficial ownership (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of 15% or more of the outstanding Company Common Stock or any other voting or equity securities of the Company pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction or (c) any combination of the foregoing.

(h) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written Takeover Proposal which (i) is not subject to a financing condition (it being understood that the remedy of a reverse termination fee or other similar fee payable in the event that the third party submitting the Takeover Proposal does not obtain its financing shall not be deemed to be a financing condition) and (ii) is on terms which the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and independent financial advisors, to be more favorable to the holders of Company Common Stock from a financial point of view than the Transaction, taking into account, to the extent applicable, (x) any revisions to the terms of this Agreement and the Financing Letters proposed by Parent to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.2 and (y) the legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such Takeover Proposal (including the certainty of closing, the availability of financing and the ability of such third party to consummate the transactions contemplated by such Takeover Proposal) and this Agreement that the Company Board considers relevant; provided that for purposes of the definition of Superior Proposal, the references to “15%” in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “80%.”

For purposes hereof, “Antitrust Laws” means the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, the HSR Act and

the Federal Trade Commission Act and all other applicable Laws issued by a Governmental Authority that are designed or intended to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening of competition through merger or acquisition.

Each of Parent and Company may designate any non-public information provided to any Governmental Authority as restricted to “Outside Antitrust Counsel” only and any such information shall not be shared with employees, officers or directors or their equivalents of the other party without approval of the party providing the non-public information.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.3, in no event shall Parent, Purchaser or the Company (or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates) be required to effect or commit to effect, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust or otherwise, (i) the sale, license, holding separate or other disposition of assets or businesses of Parent, Purchaser or the Company (or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates), (ii) the termination, relinquishment, modification or waiver of existing relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of Parent, Purchaser or the Company (or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates) or (iii) the creation of any relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of Parent, Purchaser or the Company (or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates).

(e) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that any litigation or other administrative or judicial action or proceeding is commenced, threatened or is foreseeable with respect to the Transactions relating to any required submissions and filings under applicable Antitrust Laws or any other applicable Laws and such litigation, action or proceeding seeks, or would reasonably be expected to seek, to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions, each of the Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take any and all action to avoid or resolve any such litigation, action or proceeding; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Parent or Purchaser to (and neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall without the express written consent of Parent and Purchaser) defend through litigation any claim asserted in court or administrative or other tribunal by any Person (including any Governmental Authority) in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Restraint that would prevent the Closing prior to the End Date; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 5.3(e) shall require Parent or Purchaser or the Company to take any action that would be inconsistent with the other provisions in this Section 5.3, including Section 5.3(d) and Section 5.3(f).

(f) Neither Parent nor Purchaser shall, nor shall they permit their respective Subsidiaries to, acquire or agree to acquire any rights, assets, business, Person or division thereof (through acquisition, license, joint venture, collaboration or otherwise), for consideration in excess of $10,000,000 if such acquisition would reasonably be expected to materially increase the risk of not obtaining any applicable clearance, consent, approval or waiver under U.S. Antitrust Laws with respect to the Transactions.

Section 5.4 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company.

Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or prohibit the Company, Parent or Purchaser from making any

The information provided will be subject to the terms of the amended and restated confidentiality letter agreement, dated as of November 10, 2015, between OPE DTI Holdings and the Company (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), that certain Clean Team Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2016, between OPE DTI Holdings and the Company (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Clean Team Agreement”).

Section 5.6 Takeover Laws. The Company and the Company Board shall each use its reasonable best efforts to (a) ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to the Transactions and (b) if any state takeover statute or similar statute becomes applicable to the Transactions, ensure that such Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Transactions.

Section 5.7 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall for six (6) years after the Closing Date, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each current and former director and officer of the Company and any of the Company Subsidiaries and each person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses that have been reasonably incurred (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any actual or threatened claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) (each, a “Claim”), whenever asserted, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission relating to their position with the Company or the Company Subsidiaries occurring or alleged to have occurred before or at the Effective Time (including any Claim relating in whole or in part to the Agreement or the Transactions), in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under the Company Charter Documents and applicable Law, and the Surviving Corporation shall assume all obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of limitation of liability, exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses as provided in (A) the Company Charter Documents and the respective organizational documents of each of the Company Subsidiaries as currently in effect and (B) any indemnification agreements with an Indemnitee as set forth on Section 5.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, which shall in each case survive the Transactions and continue in full force and effect to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, at the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, cause the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to include provisions for limitation of liabilities of directors and officers, indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of the Indemnitees no less favorable to the Indemnitees than as set forth in the Company Charter Documents or the applicable organizational documents of the Company Subsidiaries in effect on the date of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable Law, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees except as required by applicable Law.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall pay and advance to an Indemnitee any expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any Claim relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 5.7 or the enforcement of an Indemnitee’s rights under this Section 5.7 as and when incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided that the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such expenses; provided that the obligations in this sentence shall apply only to the extent required by applicable Law, the Company Charter Documents, applicable organizational documents of Subsidiaries of the Company or applicable indemnification agreements. Any determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnitee’s conduct complies with an applicable standard under applicable Law, the Company

Charter Documents, applicable organizational documents of Subsidiaries of the Company, or applicable indemnification agreements, as the case may be, shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to Parent.

(c) An Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume and control the defense of any Claim relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 5.7 with counsel selected by the Indemnitee, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent; provided, however, that Parent (i) shall be permitted to participate in the defense of such Claim at its own expense and (ii) shall not be liable for any settlement effected without Parent’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of each Indemnitee and the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates from any liabilities arising out of such Claim. The Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnitees in the defense of any Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested by an Indemnitee in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Parent 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, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all of the Indemnitees covered by the Claim from all liability arising out of such Claim. Nothing in this Section 5.7(c) shall relieve Parent or the Surviving Corporation of its obligations set forth in this Section 5.7.

(d) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained in effect the coverage provided by the policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance in effect as of the date hereof maintained by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time either through the Company’s existing insurance provider or another provider reasonably selected by Parent; provided, however, that, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverages required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount; provided, further, that in lieu of the foregoing insurance coverage, the Company may purchase “tail” insurance coverage, at a cost per each year of “tail” insurance coverage no greater than 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof, that provides coverage no materially less favorable than the coverage described above.

(e) The provisions of this Section 5.7 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her Representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for or limitation of, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. The obligations of the Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.7 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.7 applies unless (A) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (B) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.7 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.7.

Section 5.8 Transaction Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in (with its own counsel), but not control, the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, directors or officers relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, and the Company shall give due consideration to Parent’s advice with respect to any such litigation. The Company shall consult with Parent regarding the defense, settlement or prosecution of any stockholder litigation; provided, that (x) none of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their Representatives shall compromise, settle, come to an arrangement regarding or agree to compromise, settle, or come to an arrangement regarding any stockholder litigation or consent to the same unless Parent shall have consented in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (y) after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company shall, if requested by Parent, use its reasonable best efforts to settle any unresolved stockholder litigation in accordance with Parent’s direction (it being understood that such settlement shall be conditioned on the consummation of the Merger). Each of Parent and the Company shall notify the other promptly (and in any event within 48 hours) of the commencement of any such stockholder litigation of which it has received notice.

Section 5.9 Section 16. The Company shall take all steps reasonably necessary to cause the Transactions, including any dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities with respect to such equity securities of the Company) by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.10 Employee Matters.

(a) Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each employee of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries who continues employment with the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries (“Continuing Employees”), the opportunity to receive such medical, dental, life insurance, disability, supplemental unemployment and other welfare plan benefits which are ordinarily provided to similarly-situated employees of Parent in the ordinary course of business, as may be designated by Parent in its sole discretion from time to time.

(b) The Surviving Corporation shall use reasonable best efforts to credit each Continuing Employee, for purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits, but not for purposes of defined benefit pension accrual, under the employee benefit and 401(k) plans of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Continuing Employee after the Effective Time (including the Company Plans or Non-U.S. Company Plan) (the “New Plans”), with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar employee benefit or 401(k) plan in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the

Surviving Corporation shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that, (i) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is replacing comparable coverage under a Company Plan or Non-U.S. Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, the Surviving Corporation shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent such conditions were inapplicable or waived under the comparable Old Plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) be treated as an amendment to any Company Plan, (ii) obligate Parent or the Surviving Corporation to (A) maintain any particular benefit plan or arrangement or (B) retain the employment of any particular employee or (iii) prevent Parent or the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any benefit plan or arrangement.

Section 5.11 Purchaser. Parent shall take all actions necessary to cause Purchaser to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 5.12 No Control of Other Party’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to give Parent or Purchaser, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and the Company Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

Section 5.13 Company Stockholders’ Meeting; Proxy Statement.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company, acting through the Company Board, shall, in accordance with applicable Laws and the Company Charter Documents establish a record date (which record date shall be as soon as legally permissible) for, call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the Company Stockholders (as soon as legally permissible) (the “Company Stockholders’ Meeting”) for the purpose of voting upon the approval of this Agreement in accordance with the MGBCL; provided, that the Company Stockholders’ Meeting shall be held no later than 30 days after the definitive Proxy Statement is first disseminated to the Company Stockholders (unless adjourned in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.13(a)). Subject to Section 5.2(d) hereof, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or

cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable on its part to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, including soliciting from the Company Stockholders proxies in favor of the approval of this Agreement in accordance with the MGBCL. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders’ Meeting except that the Company may, without the prior written consent of Parent, adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, after consultation with Parent, (i) if the failure to adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders’ Meeting would reasonably be expected to be a violation of applicable Law or for the distribution of any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement, (ii) if, as of the time for which the Company Stockholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of Company Shares represented (either in Person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting or (iii) to allow time for the filing and dissemination of any supplemental or amended disclosure document that the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel) is necessary or required to be filed and disseminated under applicable Laws or for the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 5.2(e); provided, however, that in the event that there are insufficient votes to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company may, and upon Parent’s request the Company shall, postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders’ Meeting up to two (2) times for up to thirty (30) days to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company’s obligation to establish a record date for, call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting pursuant to this Section 5.13(a) shall not be limited to, or otherwise affected by, the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to the Company of any Takeover Proposal. The Company shall ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the Company Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Laws.

(b) In connection with the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement a proxy statement, letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy accompanying the Proxy Statement that will be provided to the Company Stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, and any schedules required to be filed with the SEC in connection therewith (collectively, as amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”). The Company and Parent, as the case may be, shall furnish all information concerning the Company or Parent as the other party hereto may reasonably request in connection with the preparation and filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement. Subject to all applicable Laws, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be cleared by the SEC and disseminated to the Company Stockholders as promptly as practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC. The Company shall provide Parent, Purchaser and their counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement (including any amendments or revisions thereto) and all other materials used in connection with the Company Stockholders’ Meeting that (i) constitute “proxy materials” or “solicitation materials” as those terms are used in Rules 14a-1 through 14a-17 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) are otherwise used for the “solicitation” of “proxies” as those terms are defined in Rule 14a-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act, in each case prior to the filing thereof with the SEC or the dissemination thereof

to Company Stockholders and shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent or its counsel. The Company shall advise Parent, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any request by the SEC or its staff for an amendment or revisions to the Proxy Statement, or comments thereon and responses thereto, or requests by the SEC or its staff for additional information in connection therewith. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC or its staff concerning the Proxy Statement. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable after (and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after) the SEC’s clearance of the Proxy Statement or the lapse of any applicable waiting period during which the SEC is allowed to comment on the Proxy Statement. If at any time prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective directors, officers or Affiliates, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party or parties hereto, as the case may be, and an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement describing such information shall be promptly prepared and filed with the SEC by the Company and, to the extent required by applicable Laws, disseminated to the Company Stockholders. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and NASDAQ.

(c) Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Article VII hereof, subject to the terms of Section 5.2(d) hereof, the Company shall include in the Proxy Statement the Company Board Recommendation.

Section 5.14 Financing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Financing Letters, Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or reasonably proper or advisable to obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Letters, and will not consent to any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under (1) the Equity Funding Letters whatsoever (except to increase the amount of the Equity Financing) and (2) the Debt Commitment Letter, in the case of this clause (2), solely to the extent such amendment, modification or waiver would (i) reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing (unless the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount or Parent otherwise has available funds in an amount at least equal to such reduction), or (ii) impose new or additional conditions, or otherwise amend, modify or expand any conditions, to the receipt of the Debt Financing, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) above, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) materially delay or prevent the Closing, (B) make the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing) less likely to occur at the Effective Time or (C) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Purchaser to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Letters or the definitive agreements with respect thereto or the ability of Parent or Purchaser to consummate the Transactions; provided, however, that Parent and Purchaser may (i) amend the Debt Commitment Letter to add

lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, agents, syndication agents, documentation agents or similar entities who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement, (ii) amend or otherwise modify the Debt Commitment Letter to implement any flex provisions applicable thereto or (iii) otherwise amend, modify or replace, or agree to any waivers in respect of, the Debt Commitment Letter so long as (x) such amendment, modification, replacement or waiver does not impose new terms or conditions that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the Closing, (y) the terms thereof are not less beneficial with respect to conditionality or enforcement, taken as a whole, to Parent or Purchaser than those in the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement and (z) with respect to replacements, the replacement debt commitments otherwise satisfy the terms and conditions of an Alternative Financing set forth below. In the event of such amendment, modification, replacement or waiver of the Debt Commitment Letter as permitted by the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the financing under such amended, modified, replaced or waived Debt Commitment Letter will be deemed to be “Debt Financing” as such term is used in this Agreement. Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (I) maintain in effect the Financing Letters (including any definitive agreements entered into in connection therewith) until the earlier of the consummation of the Transaction and the termination of this Agreement, (II) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions in the Financing Agreements and in the Equity Funding Letters applicable to Parent and Purchaser (and that are within their control) to obtaining the Financing, (III) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (as modified, to the extent exercised, by the flex provisions applicable thereto) or otherwise consistent in all material respects with the Debt Commitment Letter, or on other terms acceptable to Parent that would not (i) reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing (unless the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount or Parent otherwise has available funds in an amount at least equal to such reduction), or (ii) impose new or additional conditions, or otherwise amend or modify any conditions, to the receipt of the Debt Financing, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the Closing (such definitive agreements, together with the Debt Commitment Letter, the “Financing Agreements”), and (IV) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing (which efforts shall include, making demand upon the lenders to consummate the Financing to the extent the conditions thereto have been satisfied (other than those which are dependent upon, or are to occur simultaneously with, the funding of the Financing, it being agreed that such efforts shall not require the commencement of litigation against any lenders). Upon the Company’s request, Parent will keep the Company reasonably informed on a timely basis of the status of Parent’s and Purchaser’s efforts to obtain the Debt Financing and to satisfy the conditions thereof, including advising and updating the Company, in a reasonable level of detail, with respect to status, proposed Closing Date and material terms of the material definitive documentation for the Debt Financing. If any portion of the Financing becomes reasonably likely to be unavailable on the material terms and conditions contemplated by the applicable Financing Agreements or the Equity Funding Letters (giving effect to, to the extent exercised, the flex provisions applicable thereto), (i) Parent will promptly notify the Company and (ii) Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions (it being understood that Parent shall have no obligation to accept any terms or conditions that are materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to Parent, Purchaser and the Company than the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Financing

Agreements) (“Alternative Financing”) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event. In such event, as applicable: (1) the terms “Financing” and “Debt Financing” as used in this Agreement will be deemed to include any such Alternative Financing, (2) the term “Debt Commitment Letter” will be deemed to include any commitment letters with respect to any such Alternative Financing and (3) the term “Financing Agreements” will be deemed to include any definitive agreement with respect to the Alternative Financing.

(b) The Company will provide to Parent, and will cause its Subsidiaries to provide, at Parent’s cost and expense as provided in Section 5.14(e), and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to provide, all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent that is customary and necessary in connection with arranging, obtaining and syndicating the Debt Financing and causing the conditions in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Financing Agreements to be satisfied, including using reasonable best efforts in (i) assisting with the preparation of syndication documents and materials, including information memoranda and packages, lender and investor presentations, rating agency materials and presentations, and similar documents and materials, in connection with the Debt Financing, and providing reasonable and customary authorization letters and management representation letters to the Financing Sources authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders and other Financing Sources and containing customary information (all such documents and materials, collectively, the “Syndication Documents”), (ii) preparing and furnishing to Parent and the Financing Sources as promptly as practicable with all Required Information to the extent it is available to the Company and all other information and disclosures relating to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (including their businesses, operations and financial projections) as may be reasonably requested by Parent to assist in preparation of the Syndication Documents (including execution of customary authorization and management representation letters), (iii) causing the Company’s and each of the Company Subsidiaries’ respective management teams, with appropriate seniority and expertise, to participate in (including the preparation for) a reasonable number of meetings, conference calls, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions, sessions with ratings agencies and similar sessions in connection with the Debt Financing, including direct contact between such senior management of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and Parent’s Financing Sources and potential lenders in the Debt Financing, (iv) assisting Parent in obtaining any corporate credit and family ratings from any ratings agencies contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, (v) assisting in the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive financing documents and the schedules and exhibits thereto (including any loan agreements, note purchase agreements, guarantees, collateral agreements, hedging arrangements, legal opinion, officer’s certificates and a solvency certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company in the form required by the Debt Commitment Letter), (vi) subject to any contractual agreement in effect, facilitating the pledging of collateral for the Debt Financing, including taking commercially reasonable actions necessary to permit the Financing Sources to evaluate the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ real property, personal property, current assets, cash management and accounting systems, policies and procedures for the purpose of establishing collateral arrangements and establishing, as of the Effective Time, bank and other accounts and blocked account agreements and lockbox arrangements in connection with the Debt Financing, (vii) subject to any contractual agreement in effect, obtaining from the Company’s existing lenders such consents, approvals, authorizations and instruments which may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the Debt Financing and collateral arrangements, including customary payoff letters, lien releases,

instruments of termination or discharge, (viii) preparing and delivering to Parent any supplements to the above information as may be required pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter, (ix) furnishing Parent and its Financing Sources reasonably promptly following Parent’s written request with all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act, that has been reasonably requested by Parent and (x) causing the taking of corporate and other actions by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries reasonably necessary to permit the consummation of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date and to permit the proceeds thereof to be made available to Parent as of the Closing Date; provided, that no such actions shall be effective prior to the Closing Date and the consummation of the Merger.

(c) The Company hereby consents to the use of the Company’s logos in connection with the Debt Financing in a form and manner mutually agreed with the Company; provided, however, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended, or reasonably likely, to harm or disparage the Company its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. The Company will, upon request of Parent, use its reasonable best efforts to periodically update any Required Information (to the extent it is available) to be included in any Syndication Document to be used in connection with such Debt Financing so that Parent may ensure that any such Required Information does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

(d) Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 5.14(b), (i) solely Parent shall be responsible for provision of any post-Closing pro forma financial information, including cost savings, synergies, capitalization, ownership or other pro forma adjustments (provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall provide Parent with financial and other information relating to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries reasonably requested by Parent to allow Parent to prepare such pro forma financial information) and any financial projections of the Company for and after the Effective Time, (ii) neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives shall be required to enter into any certificate, document, agreement or instrument which will be effective prior to the Effective Time, (iii) nothing herein shall require cooperation contemplated thereby to the extent it would interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, (iv) none of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries will be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Effective Time, and (v) nothing herein shall require cooperation or assistance from a Company director, officer or employee to the extent such Company director, officer or employee is reasonably likely to incur any personal financial liability by providing such cooperation or assistance that will not be repaid or reimbursed in full by the Parent.

(e) Parent will, upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries contemplated by Section 5.14(b), on the earlier of the Effective Time or termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII (Termination). Parent will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims and reasonable

and documented costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (including any action taken in accordance with this Section 5.14) and any information used in connection therewith, except with respect to any information relating to the Company provided in writing by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries.

(f) Parent and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of Financing, or any Alternative Financing, is not a condition to Closing.

Section 5.15 Actions with Respect to Existing Indebtedness; Other Items. In connection with the Closing, and subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Parent shall make available, and pay to, the Company for payment to the lenders under the Company Credit Agreement the full outstanding amount due under the Company Credit Agreement, together with any accrued interest and cash collateral thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Company accrued under the Company Credit Agreement (including any prepayment premiums, penalties, breakage costs, termination payments and similar obligations) (the “Loan Payoff Amount”). Subject to Parent’s compliance with the previous sentence, the Company shall pay the Loan Payoff Amount to the lenders under the Company Credit Agreement and terminate such agreement, all on the Closing Date. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between Parent and the Company, the Company shall deliver the required prepayment and commitment termination notices to the administrative agent in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Company Credit Agreement, which notices shall be conditioned upon the effectiveness of a credit facility to be provided by Parent to the Company. The Company shall deliver to Parent (a) payoff letters (including customary lien releases or authority to file such releases) in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent with respect to the payment of the Loan Payoff Amount and (b) the items set forth on Schedule 5.15 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (each in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent), in each case, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

Section 5.16 Successors and Assigns.

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Company and Parent; or

(b) by either of the Company or Parent upon written notice to the other party:

(i) if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before November 23, 2016 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b)(i) shall not be available to a party if the failure of the Merger to have been consummated on or before the End Date was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement;

Takeover Proposal (provided that for purposes of clause (iii) of this Section 7.3(d), the references to “15%” in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”), then the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to or as directed by Parent the Termination Fee (less the amount of any Parent Expenses previously paid to Parent pursuant to Section 7.3(a), if any), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent, on the date of consummation of such transaction. If, in order to collect the Termination Fee or any Parent Expenses pursuant to Sections 7.3(a), (b), (c) or this Section 7.4(d), Parent commences a proceeding, claim, suit, arbitration or action that results in a judgment in favor of Parent for the payment of the Termination Fee or any Parent Expenses, the Company will pay to Parent all of Parent’s reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding, claim, suit, arbitration or action.

(e) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by (i) the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(iii) or (ii) the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) if, at the time of such termination, the Company would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(iii), Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Company the Parent Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Company within five (5) Business Days of such termination. If, in order to collect the Parent Termination Fee, the Company commences a proceeding, claim, suit, arbitration or action that results in a judgment in favor of the Company for the payment of the Parent Termination Fee, Parent will pay to the Company all of the Company’s reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding, claim, suit, arbitration or action.

(f) Subject to the Company’s right to specific performance in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 8.9, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Company acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and the Company Stockholders, that in the event that the Company receives full payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.3(e) in circumstances where the Parent Termination Fee is owed: (i) the Parent Termination Fee shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company, its Affiliates and the Company Stockholders, (ii) the Parent Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by the Company, its Affiliates and the Company Stockholders in connection with this Agreement and the Equity Funding Letters (and the termination of any of the foregoing), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination (or for any breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise (in each case, whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise)), and (iii) Parent, Purchaser and any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates or any of the former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, direct or indirect equityholders or Representatives of any of the foregoing (collectively, but excluding Parent and Purchaser, the “Parent Related Parties”) shall not have any further liability, whether pursuant to a claim in contract or tort, at law or in equity or otherwise, to the Company, any of its Affiliates or the Company Stockholders under this Agreement or the Equity Funding Letters (and the termination of any of the foregoing), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination.

(g) For purposes of this Agreement, “Termination Fee” shall mean an amount equal to $15,000,000.

(h)

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent be required to pay (or cause to be paid) the Parent Termination Fee referred to in this Section 7.3 (i) on more than one occasion or (ii) if, at the time this Agreement is terminated by Parent, this Agreement could have been terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(ii) or Section 7.1(d)(i), but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall in such circumstances be entitled, subject to Section 8.9, to seek such remedies to which it is entitled under, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee referred to in this Section 7.3 (x) on more than one occasion or (y) if, at the time this Agreement is terminated by the Company, this Agreement could have been terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(ii) or Section 7.1(c)(i), and the payment of the Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent and Purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions in the event any such payment becomes due and payable pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 7.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon payment of the Termination Fee, the Company (and the Company’s Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders and Representatives) shall have no further liability to Parent and Purchaser under this Agreement

Section 8.9 Specific Enforcement; Limitations on Liability.

(a) The parties agree that, subject to the provisions of this Section 8.9, immediate, extensive and irreparable damage would occur for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, the parties agree that, if for any reason Parent, Purchaser or the Company shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise breached this Agreement, then the party seeking to enforce this Agreement against such nonperforming party under this Agreement shall be entitled to specific performance and the issuance of immediate injunctive and other equitable relief without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, and the parties further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity; provided, that the Company shall only be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Parent’s or Purchaser’s obligation to cause all or any portion of the Equity Financing to be funded (whether under this Agreement or the Equity Funding Letters) or otherwise cause Parent or Purchaser to consummate the Merger, the Financing or the other transactions contemplated hereby (including the obligation to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration) if: (i) the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing itself, each of which shall be capable of being satisfied, and shall in fact be satisfied, at the Closing) have been satisfied and remain satisfied at the time when Closing would have occurred but for the failure of the Financing to be funded, (ii) Parent and Purchaser have failed to consummate the Merger by the date the Merger is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 1.2, (iii) the Debt Financing is available to be funded at the Closing and has been funded or will be funded if the Equity Financing is funded and (iv) the Company has irrevocably confirmed to Parent in writing that if specific performance is granted and the Financing is funded, then the Closing will occur.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, while the Company may seek (i) specific performance, subject in all respects to this Section 8.9, and (ii) payment of the Parent Termination Fee, if, as and when payable pursuant to Section 7.3(e), under no circumstances shall the Company, directly or indirectly, be permitted or entitled to receive (A) both a grant of specific performance to cause the Equity Financing to be funded (whether

under this Agreement or the Equity Funding Letters), or to cause Parent or Purchaser to consummate the Merger, the Financing or the other transactions contemplated hereby (including the obligation to pay the Merger Consideration) or other equitable relief, on the one hand, and payment of any monetary damages whatsoever or the payment of all or a portion of the Parent Termination Fee, on the other hand, or (B) both payment of any monetary damages, on the one hand, and payment of all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee, on the other hand. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to specific performance to cause all or any portion of the Equity Financing to be funded (whether under this agreement or the Equity Funding Letters) or cause Parent or Purchaser to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby (including the obligation to pay the Merger Consideration) if all, substantially all, or any material portion of, the Debt Financing has not been funded or will not be funded at Closing even if the Equity Financing is funded at Closing.
