(a) each share of common stock, par value US$0.001 per share, of the Company (a “Share” or, collectively, the “Shares”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Rollover Shares, the Dissenting Shares, and any Shares owned by Holdco, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or any Company Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”), shall be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive the following: US$7.40 in cash per Share without interest (the “Merger Consideration”) payable in the manner provided in Section 2.04; and (ii) all of the Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each certificate (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any such Shares (each such certificate or evidence, a “Share 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 Certificate in accordance with Section 2.04(b), without interest;

(b) each Excluded Share, other than the Dissenting Shares, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of its holder, be cancelled and cease to exist, without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor; and

Such ordinary shares shall be the only issued and outstanding share capital of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 2.02 Company Equity Awards.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board, or the compensation committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions that may be necessary to terminate the Company’s Stock Incentive Plans as of the Effective Time, and provide that, immediately prior to the Effective Time,

(i) (1) the vesting and exercisability of each then-unexpired and -unexercised Company Option held by any person (other than the Rollover Holders) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be fully accelerated, and (2) each then-unexpired and -unexercised Company Option shall be cancelled, and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Option and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld in accordance with Section 2.04(j)) of an amount equal to the product of (A) the total number of Shares previously subject to such Company Option and (B) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share previously subject to such Company Option, to be paid by the Surviving Corporation or one of its subsidiaries, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time (without interest) (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Option Payments”); provided, that if the Exercise Price of any such Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall be cancelled without any payment therefor; and

(ii) (1) the vesting of all then-unvested Company Restricted Shares held by any person immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be fully accelerated, and (2) each then-outstanding Company Restricted Share shall be automatically converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.01(a), subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld in accordance with Section 2.04(j).

SECTION 2.03 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the URBCA, Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by shareholders who shall have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights of dissent in accordance with Section 1302 of URBCA (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, but shall, by virtue of the Merger, represent only the right to receive the payment of the appraised value of such Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of the URBCA; provided, that all Shares held by such shareholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Shares under Section 1302 of the URBCA shall thereupon (i) not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares, and (ii) be and be deemed to have been cancelled, as of the Effective Time, in consideration for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, in the manner provided in Section 2.04.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company and any other instruments served pursuant to the URBCA, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law and received by the Company relating to its shareholders’ rights of appraisal, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the URBCA. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

SECTION 2.04 Exchange of Share Certificates, Etc.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.04, and, in connection therewith, shall enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent in the form reasonably acceptable to the Company. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares (other than the Excluded Shares), Company Options and Company RSUs, cash in an amount sufficient for the Paying Agent to make payments under Section 2.01(a) and, subject to 2.04(c), Section 2.02(a) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (and, in any event, not later than the fifth Business Day following the Effective Time, in the case of record holders, and not later than the third Business Day following the Effective Time, in the case of the Depository Trust Company or its nominee on behalf of beneficial holders holding through brokers, nominees, custodians or through a third party), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a registered holder of Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(a): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Share Certificates held by such person shall pass, only upon proper delivery of Certificates to the Paying Agent or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in Section 2.04(d), and the manner in which the delivery of the Exchange Fund to registered holders of Shares shall be effected, and such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of any Share Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in Section 2.04(d)) and/or such other documents as may be required in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Share Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in Section 2.04(d)) and/or such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, each holder of Shares represented by such Share Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in Section 2.04(d)) shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check or wire transfer, in the amount equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such Share Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in Section 2.04(d)) multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration, and the Share Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be marked as cancelled. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (and, in any event, not later than the third Business Day following the Effective Time), the Paying Agent shall issue and deliver to each holder of uncertificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) a check or wire transfer for the amount of cash that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.01(a) in respect of such Book-Entry Shares, without such holder being required to deliver a Share Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent, and such Book-Entry Shares shall then be cancelled. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any amount payable in respect of the Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer record of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that such Share Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred and that 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 the Share Certificate or Book-Entry Share surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.04(b), each Share Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II, without interest.

(c) Payment of Option Payments to Company. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (and, in any event, not later than the third Business Day following the Effective Time), the Paying Agent shall transmit to the Surviving Corporation and/or one of its Subsidiaries an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the Option Payments required to be paid to former holders of Company Options pursuant to Section 2.02(a); provided, that, notwithstanding Section 2.04(a), Parent may, in lieu of depositing the amount of the Option Payments required to be paid under Section 2.02(a) to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.04(a), transmit such amounts by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Surviving Corporation and/or one of its Subsidiaries at the Effective Time, whereupon all other obligations under this Section 2.04(c) shall terminate.

(d) Lost Certificates. If any Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond, in such form and amount as the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation may direct, and with such surety or sureties as may be satisfactory to the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation, as indemnity of the Surviving Corporation and its transfer agents and registrars (if any) against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Share Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Share Certificate an amount equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Shares represented by such Share Certificate to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

(e) Untraceable Shareholders. Remittances for the Merger Consideration shall not be sent to holders of Shares who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Paying Agent of their current contact details prior to the Effective Time. A holder of Shares will be deemed to be untraceable if such person has no registered address in the record of shareholders maintained by the Company under Section 16-10a-1601(3) of the URBCA, and either (i) on the last three (3) successive occasions on which a distribution of a dividend or interest with respect to such Shares has been mailed by the Company in the form of a check payable to such person at the address shown on the Company’s current record of shareholders, and has been returned as undeliverable (and, in any such case, no valid claim in respect thereof has been communicated in writing to the Company), or (ii) notice of the Shareholders’ Meeting convened to vote on the Merger has been sent to such person by first-class mail at the address as shown on the records of the Company, and has been returned as undeliverable and at least one notice of the prior annual or other meeting of the shareholders, or the taking of action by written consent without a meeting, has been mailed, addressed to the shareholder at the shareholder’s address as shown on the records of the Company, and returned as undeliverable.

(f) Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Shares), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Shares occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(g) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund, pending its disbursement in accordance with this Article II, shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation in (i) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America, (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, or (iii) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion. Earnings from investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, and any amounts in excess of the aggregate amounts payable under Sections 2.01(a) and 2.02(a) shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation in accordance with Section 2.04(h). To the extent that there are any losses with respect to any such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Paying Agent to make prompt cash payment under Sections 2.01(a) and 2.02(a), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to make such payments under Sections 2.01(a) and 2.02(a).

(h) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any income or proceeds thereof or of any investment thereof) that remains undistributed to the holders of Shares at six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, and any holders of Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for the cash to which they are entitled pursuant to Sections 2.01(a) and 2.02(a). Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(i) No Liability. None of the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Shares for any such Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(j) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares or Company Equity Awards such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares or Company Equity Awards in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or the Depositary, as the case may be. Each former holder of Shares or Company Equity Awards shall be personally responsible for the proper reporting and payment of all Taxes (other than the reporting and withholding obligations described above in this Section 2.04(j)) related to any Merger Consideration payable under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.05 No Transfers. At the Effective Time, (a) the stock ledger books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock ledger books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (b) the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Share Certificates presented to the Paying Agent, Parent, or Surviving Corporation for transfer or any other reason shall be canceled and (except for the Excluded Shares) exchanged for the cash consideration to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

(b) Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect, (i) the Company or one of the Company Subsidiaries owns or has been granted a license to use all Intellectual Property that the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries are using in, and which ownership and licenses are necessary to, the conduct of their respective businesses as currently conducted; (ii) there are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened claims, actions or proceedings by any person alleging infringement, dilution or misappropriation by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries of the Intellectual Property of such person or challenging the validity, enforceability or ownership of, or the right to use, any Intellectual Property owned by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries; (iii) the conduct of the businesses of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as currently conducted does not infringe, dilute or misappropriate any Intellectual Property of any person; (iv) to the knowledge of the Company, no person is infringing or misappropriating any Intellectual Property owned by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries; (v) the Company and the Company Subsidiaries have taken reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of their trade secrets; and (vi) no Intellectual Property owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject to any outstanding order, judgment or decree restricting or limiting the use or licensing thereof by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries.

SECTION 3.13 Taxes

(a) The Company and each Company Subsidiary has timely filed all income and other material Tax Returns required to be filed by them and have paid and discharged or properly accrued for in accordance with GAAP all material Taxes required to be paid or discharged or properly accrued for (whether or not shown to be due on any Tax Return), other than such payments as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings. All such Tax Returns are true, accurate and complete in all material respects. No Governmental Authority is now asserting or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatening to assert against the Company or any Company Subsidiary any material deficiency or claim for any Taxes or interest thereon or penalties in connection therewith. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened Actions for the assessment or collection of Taxes against the Company or any Company Subsidiary. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries have each withheld, collected and deposited or accrued for in accordance with GAAP all Taxes that are required to be withheld, collected and deposited or accrued for in accordance with GAAP under applicable Law. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has granted any waiver of any statute of limitations with respect to, or any extension of a period for the assessment of, any Tax. The accruals and reserves for Taxes reflected on the face of the balance sheets (rather than any notes thereto) contained in the most recent audited financial statements included in the Company SEC Reports are reasonably adequate to cover substantially all Taxes accruable through such date (including interest and penalties, if any, thereon) in accordance with GAAP. There are no Tax Liens upon any Equity Security, property or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary except for Liens described in clause (ii) of the definition of Permitted Liens.

No submissions made on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining any material Tax exemptions, Tax holidays, Tax deferrals, Tax incentives or other preferential Tax treatments or Tax rebates contained any material misstatement or omission that would have prohibited the granting of such Tax exemptions, preferential treatments or rebates.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Promptly following the date hereof, the Company, with the assistance of Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub, shall prepare and cause to be filed a proxy statement relating to the approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of the Company (such proxy statement, as amended or supplemented, being referred to herein as the “Proxy Statement”). Concurrently with the preparation of the Proxy Statement, the Company and Parent shall jointly prepare and cause to be filed a Schedule 13E-3 with the SEC within 15 Business Days after the date hereof, subject to each party’s compliance with this Section 6.01. Each of the Company and Parent

shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates and Representatives to, (i) provide such information specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3 as may be necessary or appropriate so that, at the date it is first mailed to the Company’s shareholders and at the time of the Shareholders’ Meeting or filed with the SEC (as applicable), the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3 will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts so that the Schedule 13E-3 will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3. Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish all information concerning such party to the other as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3. The Company shall promptly notify Parent upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3 and shall provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand. No filing or mailing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3 (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or responding to any comments from the SEC with respect thereto, will be made without providing Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement, Schedule 13E-3 and any proposed responses to any SEC comments or communications, and the Company shall consider all additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent and its counsel in good faith. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve all comments from the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3 as promptly as reasonably practicable. If, at any time prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting, any information relating to the Company, Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3 so that the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3 shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the shareholders of the Company.

SECTION 6.02 Company Shareholders’ Meeting.

(a) The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but, in any event, no later than two calendar days, after the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a shareholders’ meeting for the purpose of voting upon the approval of this Agreement and approval of the Merger (the “Shareholders’ Meeting”). The notice of such Shareholders’ Meeting shall state that a resolution to approve this Agreement and a resolution to adjourn the Shareholders’ Meeting will be considered at the Shareholders’ Meeting, and no other matters shall be considered or voted upon at the Shareholders’ Meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to call, give notice of, or convene the Shareholders’ Meeting or mail the Proxy

Statement, in each case prior to the first (1st) Business Day following the Go-Shop Period End Date; provided, that the Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the holders of Shares as of the record date established for the Shareholders’ Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable after the later of (i) the first (1st) Business Day following the date on which the SEC (or the staff of the SEC) confirms that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3, and (ii) the first (1st) Business Day following the Go-Shop Period End Date.

(b) Unless the Company Board has effected a Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.04(e), the Company Board shall recommend to holders of the Shares that they approve and adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger, and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement.

SECTION 6.03 Access to Information.

(a) From the date hereof until the Effective Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and subject to applicable Law, upon reasonable advance notice from Parent, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall provide to Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the offices, properties, books and records of such party, and furnish to Parent and its Representatives such existing financial and operating data and other existing information as such persons may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such investigation or consultation shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or otherwise result in any significant interference with the prompt and timely discharge by such employees of their normal duties.

(b) Neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of its clients, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, or contravene any Law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement (it being agreed that the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such violation, prejudice, jeopardy or contravention).

(c) No investigation pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto.

(d) All information obtained by the parties pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

SECTION 6.04 Acquisition Proposals; Go-Shop.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, from the date of this Agreement until 11:59 p.m. Beijing time on the date which is 30 days after the date of this Agreement (the “Go-Shop Period End Date”), the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and any of its or their respective Representatives shall have the right (acting under the direction of the Special Committee) to directly or indirectly: (i) initiate, solicit and encourage an Acquisition Proposal (or inquiries, proposals, offers or other efforts

or attempts that may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (including by way of public disclosure and by way of providing access to non-public information) to any person (each, a “Solicited Person”)) pursuant to (but only pursuant to) one or more Acceptable Confidentiality Agreements; provided, that the Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within 48 hours) provide to Parent any material, non-public information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries that it has provided to any Solicited Person which was not previously provided to Parent; and (ii) enter into and maintain discussions or negotiations with respect to Acquisition Proposals (or inquiries, proposals, offers or other efforts or attempts that may reasonably be expected to lead to Acquisition Proposals) or otherwise cooperate with, assist or participate in, facilitate, or take any other action in connection with any such inquiries, proposals, discussions or negotiations.

(b) Within forty-eight (48) hours following the Go-Shop Period End Date, the Company shall notify Parent of the material terms and conditions of any Acquisition Proposals (including any amendments or modifications thereof) received from any Excluded Party (as defined below) and the identity thereof. The Company shall immediately cease any solicitation, encouragement, discussions or negotiations with any person (other than Parent and any Excluded Party) that are ongoing as of the Go-Shop Period End Date and that relate to, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Acquisition Proposal, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6.04(b) and Section 6.04(c). The Company agrees that, except as permitted by Section 6.04(b) and Section 6.04(c), from the Go-Shop End Date until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII hereof, it shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives to directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or induce an Acquisition Proposal (or inquiries, proposals or offers or other efforts or attempts that may reasonably be expected to lead to Acquisition Proposals), including, without limitation, by way of public disclosure and by way of providing access to non-public information to any person; (ii) provide any material, non-public information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to any person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) engage in any discussion or negotiation with any Third Party concerning an Acquisition Proposal (or inquiries, proposals, offers or other efforts or attempts that may reasonably be expected to lead to Acquisition Proposals), or otherwise cooperate with, assist or participate in, facilitate, or take any other action in connection with any such inquiries, proposals, discussions or negotiations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may take and continue to take any of the actions described in Section 6.04(a), subject to Section 6.04(e), from and after the Go-Shop Period End Date with respect to any Solicited Person that, prior to the Go-Shop Period End Date, has made a bona fide Acquisition Proposal that the Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside financial and legal advisors) constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal (each such Solicited Person, an “Excluded Party”). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.04(b) to the contrary, any Excluded Party shall cease to be an Excluded Party for all purposes under this Agreement immediately at such time as the Acquisition Proposal made by such party is withdrawn, is terminated or expires, or the Special Committee determines, which it shall determine in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside financial and legal advisors), that such Acquisition Proposal has ceased to constitute, or has ceased to be reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal (a “Terminated Acquisition Proposal”). At the Go-Shop Period End Date, other than with respect to persons who at such time are Excluded Parties, and at any subsequent time with respect to any person (including a formerly Excluded Party) that has made an Acquisition Proposal that has become a

Terminated Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with such person conducted theretofore by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and shall use reasonable best efforts to require such person to promptly return or destroy any confidential information previously furnished by the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.04(b), in the event that, prior to the receipt of Requisite Company Vote, the Company receives an unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that the Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside financial and legal advisors) constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, then the Company may take the following actions:

(i) furnish information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries to the person making such Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; and

(ii) engage in discussions or negotiations (including, as a part thereof, making counterproposals) with such person (and its Representatives) which respect to such Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours) provide or make available to Parent any material, non-public information concerning the Company or any of the Subsidiaries that is provided to the person making such Acquisition Proposal or its Representatives which was not previously or concurrently provided or made available to Parent.

(d) The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours) advise Parent, orally and in writing, of (i) any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any initial request for non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries related to or from any person or group who would reasonably be expected to make an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) any initial request for discussions or negotiations related to any Acquisition Proposal and, in connection with such notice, provide the material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal or request. The Company shall (i) keep Parent informed in all material respects of the status and details (including material amendments to the terms thereof) of such Acquisition Proposal or request, and (ii) provide to Parent as soon as practicable after receipt thereof copies of all material, written correspondence relating to such Acquisition Proposal or request exchanged between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the person making such Acquisition Proposal or request, on the other hand, concerning the material terms and conditions thereof.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company Board shall not (i) (A) withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent and Merger Sub), or propose publicly to withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent and Merger Sub), the Company Recommendation or (B) adopt, approve or recommend, or propose publicly to adopt, approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal (any action in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Change of Recommendation”), or (ii) adopt, approve or recommend, or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, enter into any merger agreement, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, share

purchase agreement, asset purchase agreement or share exchange agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement as permitted by Section 6.04(a)) constituting or related to, or that would reasonably be expected to result in, any Acquisition Proposal (each, an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, (x) if the Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal advisors) that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, may make a Change of Recommendation; and (y) if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside financial and legal advisors) that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, then the Company may make a Change of Recommendation or enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal and terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.03(a).

(f) The Company shall not be entitled to effect a Change of Recommendation or enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal as permitted under Section 6.04(e) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.03(a)) unless (i) the Company has provided written notice (a “Notice”) at least two (2) Business Days in advance to Parent advising Parent that, in the case of a Change of Recommendation, the Special Committee has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that failure to make such Change of Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the discharge or exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and specifying the reasons therefor, or, in the case the Company intends to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal and terminate this Agreement, that the Company has received an Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside financial and legal advisors) constitutes a Superior Proposal and the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal that is the basis of the proposed action by the Company Board (including the identity of the Third Party making the Superior Proposal and any financing materials related thereto, if any); and (ii) during the two (2) Business-Day period following Parent’s receipt of the Notice, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Financing Commitments so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal or obviates the need for the Change of Recommendation, as applicable; and (iii) following the end of the two (2) Business-Day period, the Company Board and the Special Committee shall have determined in good faith, taking into account any changes to this Agreement and the Financing Commitments irrevocably proposed in writing by Parent in response to the Notice or otherwise, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Notice continues to constitute a Superior Proposal or that a failure to make a Change of Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties. Any material amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice and the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 6.04(f); provided, however, that in the case of such material amendment, references to the two (2) Business-Day period above shall be deemed to be references to one (1) Business Day. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal received from an Excluded Party in compliance with this Section 6.04 and terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 6.04(e) above without following the procedures in this Section 6.04(f).

(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the Company from issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act or taking or disclosing to its shareholders any position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any other disclosure to its shareholders to comply with applicable Law.

(h) As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) As used in this Agreement, the term “Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal or offer made by any person (other than Holdco, Parent, Merger Sub or any Affiliate thereof) to purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of transactions, (A) beneficial ownership (as defined under section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of any class of 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 (B) any one or more assets or businesses of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that constitute twenty percent (20%) or more of the revenues or assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(ii) As used in this Agreement, the term “Superior Proposal” means a written Acquisition Proposal (provided, that for purposes of this definition, references to “twenty percent (20%)” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%)”) that (i) provides a higher per-share value to the Company’s shareholders (other than the Rollover Holders) than the Merger Consideration, (ii) does not contain any closing condition with respect to the receipt of financing, and (iii) the Company Board (acting through the Special Committee) determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors) to be more favorable to the Company’s shareholders (other than the Rollover Holders) than the terms of this Agreement (taking into account such factors as the Company Board deems appropriate, including any changes to the terms of this Agreement irrevocably proposed by Parent in response to such offer or otherwise) and is reasonably capable of being consummated on the terms proposed, in each case, taking into account all financial, regulatory (including antitrust), legal and other aspects of such proposal as the Special Committee (or Company Board) determines to be relevant.

SECTION 6.05 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, assume the obligations with respect to all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and limitations on, or exculpation from, liabilities, for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (including any matter in connection with the Transactions), now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), as provided in the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries) or in any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Party and the

Company or any Company Subsidiary, without further action, as of the Effective Time, and such obligations shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall cause the articles of incorporation and bylaws and indemnification or similar agreements of the Surviving Corporation (or any successor) to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnified Parties with respect to rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and limitations on, or exculpation from, liabilities, for acts or omissions than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and indemnification or similar agreements in effect as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnified Parties, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law.

(b) The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in full force and effect for six (6) years from the Effective Time, on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties, and from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating, as the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary insurance maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement, covering claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions (provided, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend pursuant to this Section 6.05(b) more than an amount per year equal to 300% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance, but in such case shall purchase as much of such coverage as possible for such amount). In addition, the Company may purchase a six (6)-year “tail” prepaid policy prior to the Effective Time on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties than the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company.

SECTION 6.07 Financing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Financing at Closing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Documents, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Documents in accordance with the terms thereof until the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub in the Financing Documents (including by consummating the financing pursuant to the terms of the Equity Financing ) and otherwise comply with its obligations thereunder, (iii) consummate the Financing at or prior to Closing, (iv) seek to enforce its rights under the Financing Documents, and (v) assuming all terms and conditions in the Debt Financing Agreement have been satisfied, cause the Financing Sources and other persons providing Debt Financing to fund on the Closing Date the Debt Financing required to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (including through litigation pursued in good faith).

As soon as reasonably practicable after the date the Company delivers to Holdco, Parent or Merger Sub a written request therefor, Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide notice of the circumstance referred to in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence. If the preceding provisions of this Section 6.07(b) or any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Financing Documents despite Holdco’s and Parent’s reasonable best efforts to obtain the Debt Financing, each of Holdco and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative debt financing (the “Alternative Financing”) from alternative debt financing sources in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Financing that is available, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on terms and conditions not less favorable, taken as a whole, to Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub (as determined in the reasonable judgment of Parent) than those in the Debt Financing Agreement as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event; provided, however, that without the Company’s consent, Holdco or Parent shall not obtain any Alternative Financing that would impose new or additional conditions, or otherwise enhance or expand upon or adversely modify the conditions precedent to the Debt Financing Agreement. Holdco and Parent shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange any Alternative Financing and shall deliver to the Company as promptly as practicable (and no later than two business days) after such execution, true and complete copies of all Contracts or other arrangements (including fee letters), pursuant to which any such Financing Sources shall have committed to provide any such Alternative Financings (the “Alternative Financing Agreements”) .

mortgages, certificates, and other definitive agreements, documents or instruments related to the Debt Financing as required by the Debt Financing Agreement (and, if applicable, the Alternative Financing) (each, an “Ancillary Debt Agreement”), (vii) causing the taking of corporate actions by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries reasonably necessary to perfect any pledge or charge of collateral and register any mortgage required under the Onshore Debt Financing Agreements as soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof in connection with the Onshore Debt Financing Agreements and facilitating the execution of any notes, security documents, guarantees, mortgages, certificates, and other definitive agreements, documents or instruments as required by the Onshore Debt Financing Agreements (it being understood that the perfection of any pledge or charge of collateral and registration of any mortgages under the Onshore Debt Financing Agreements shall not be a condition to Closing so long as the Company and the Company Subsidiaries have used their respective reasonable best efforts to perfect such pledge or charge or register such mortgage as required under this Section 6.07(c)), and (viii) as promptly as reasonably practicable, furnishing Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub and their Financing Sources with financial and other information regarding the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Holdco or Parent; provided, however, that (A) other than the Company’s obligation to perfect and/or register collateral and/or mortgages under the Onshore Debt Financing Agreements as set forth in this Section 6.07(c), irrespective of any other provision in this Section 6.07(c), no obligation of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries under any Financing Document, Ancillary Debt Agreement, certificate or other document or instrument shall be effective until the Effective Time and none of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to take any action under any Financing Document, Ancillary Debt Agreement, certificate or other document or instrument that is not contingent upon the Closing (including the entry into any agreement that is effective before the Effective Time) or that would be effective prior to the Effective Time, (B) nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, and (C) none of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to issue any offering or information document prior to the Effective Time.

Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub shall on a joint and several basis indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing, the Alternative Financing (if applicable) and the Contribution (including any action taken in accordance with this Section 6.07(c) and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than historical and other information relating to the Company provided by the Company and other than arising out of the gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement by the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Representatives). Holdco and Parent shall, promptly upon termination of this Agreement, reimburse the Company for all documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in connection with this Section 6.07(c); provided, that Holdco and Parent shall promptly upon request by the Company reimburse the Company for any documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries in connection with the Onshore Debt Financing Agreements. In no event shall Holdco, Parent or any of its Affiliates prohibit or seek to

prohibit any bank or investment bank or other potential provider of debt or equity financing, excluding the Financing Sources, from providing financing or financial advisory services to any person in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or its subsidiaries or in connection with the Merger or any Alternative Proposal.

Except as provided in Section 6.05, Section 8.06(e) and Article I (but, in the case of Article I, only with respect to holders of Shares, Company Options and Company RSUs and only after the Effective Time), the parties hereto hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other parties hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. The parties hereto further agree that the rights of third-party beneficiaries under Section 6.05 shall not arise unless and until the Effective Time occurs. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 9.11 without notice or liability to any other person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

SECTION 9.07 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific

performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is explicitly agreed that the Company shall be entitled to obtain an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies to enforce Holdco’s, Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to cause the Sponsor to fund the Sponsor Equity Financing, to cause the Founder to fund the Founder Equity Financing and to consummate the Merger, but only in the event that each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (i) all conditions in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or, if permissible, waived in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub have failed to complete the Closing by the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 1.02, (iii) the Debt Financing (or, if applicable, the Alternative Financing) has been funded or will be funded at the Closing in accordance with the terms thereof if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing, and (iv) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing that if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then the Closing will occur. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Holdco’s right to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to consummate the Merger if the Debt Financing (or, if applicable, the Alternative Financing) has not been funded (or will not be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing).

(c) Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that either party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. In seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, no party shall be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(d) Until such time as Parent pays the Parent Termination Fee, the remedies available to the Company pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall be in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit the Company from, in the alternative, seeking to terminate this Agreement and collect the Parent Termination Fee under Section 8.06. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both (i) a grant of injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief under this Section 9.07 that results in a Closing and (ii) monetary damages, including all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee

(e) Until such time as the Company pays the Company Termination Fee, the remedies available to each of Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall be in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit Holdco, Parent or Merger Sub from, in the alternative, seeking to terminate this Agreement and collect the Company Termination Fee under Section 8.06. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall Parent be permitted or entitled to receive both (i) a grant of injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief under this Section 9.07 that results in a Closing and (ii) monetary damages, including all or any portion of the Company Termination Fee or Parent Expenses.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) under no circumstances will the Company be entitled to monetary damages in excess of the aggregate amount of (A) the Parent Termination Fee, (B) any reimbursement obligation of Parent pursuant to Section 8.06(c) and (C) the indemnification, reimbursement and expense obligations of Parent contained in Section 6.07(c), and (ii) under no circumstances will Holdco, Parent or Merger Sub be entitled to monetary damages in excess of the aggregate amount of (A) the Company Termination Fee, (B) any reimbursement obligation of the Company pursuant to Section 8.06(c) and (C) any reimbursement obligation of the Company pursuant to Section 8.06(f).

(g) If a party hereto brings any Action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by the other parties, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended by the amount of time during which such Action is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days.

SECTION 9.09 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 9.10 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by action taken by or on behalf of their respective boards of directors at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that, after the approval of this Agreement and the Transactions by the shareholders of the Company, no amendment may be

SECTION 9.11 Waiver.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
