Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the Company and Parent, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on the third Business Day after the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (excluding conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Closing but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of such conditions at the Closing), unless this Agreement shall have been theretofore terminated pursuant to its terms; provided, however, that notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII, if the proceeds of the Debt Financing are not then available in full pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter (or if Financing Agreements have been entered into, pursuant to such Financing Agreements) on the date that would otherwise be the Closing Date, and provided that Parent has complied in all material respects with its obligations under Section 7.13, Parent shall not be required to effect the Closing until such date on which the proceeds of the Debt Financing are available in full pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter (or if Financing Agreements have been entered into, pursuant to such Financing Agreements) (subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII as of such date). The date and time of the Closing is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.” The Closing shall be held at the offices of Brown Rudnick LLP, One Financial Center, Boston, Massachusetts, unless another place is agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company.

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as promptly as reasonably practicable on the Closing Date, the Company will cause a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings and recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger will become effective on such date and at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date or time as may be agreed by Parent and the Company in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Section 2.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, from and after the Effective Time, all property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, licenses and authority of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.5 Organizational Documents.

ARTICLE III

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

Section 3.1 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, pursuant to this Agreement and by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or the holders of the Shares:

(a) Each Share then owned by the Company or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury) or owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any direct or indirect Subsidiary thereof immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no payment or distribution shall be made or delivered with respect thereto.

(b) Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and Dissenting Shares, automatically shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Price Per Share, without interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”), payable to the holder thereof upon surrender of the stock certificate formerly representing such Share (a “Certificate”) or book-entry shares (“Book-Entry Shares”) in the manner provided in Section 3.2. Such Shares, other than those canceled pursuant to Section 3.1(a), sometimes are referred to herein as the “Merger Shares.”

(d) If between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the number of outstanding Shares is changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or the like, other than pursuant to the Merger, the amount of Merger Consideration payable per Merger Share shall be correspondingly adjusted.

Section 3.2 Payment of Cash for Merger Shares.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall (i) designate a bank or trust company that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) and (ii) enter into a paying agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, with such Paying Agent, to serve as the Paying Agent for the Merger Consideration. Prior to the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, Parent will deposit with the Paying Agent cash in the aggregate amount sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration in respect of all Merger Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Option Payment in respect of all Company Options (other than 2012 Options) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Restricted Stock Payment in respect of each share of Company Restricted Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and the Performance Share Payment in respect of each Company Performance Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Pending distribution of the cash deposited with the Paying Agent, such cash shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of Merger Shares, Company Options (other than 2012 Options), shares of Company Restricted Stock and Company Performance Shares, in each case, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall not be used for any other purposes; provided, however, that Parent may direct the Paying Agent to invest such cash in (i) obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof, (ii) money market accounts, certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of, or demand deposits with, commercial banks

having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank which are publicly available), or (iii) commercial paper obligations rated P-1 or A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s Corporation or Moody’s Investor Services, Inc.; provided further, however, that no such investment shall relieve Parent or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article III. Any interest and other income produced by such investments shall be for the account of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall send, or cause the Paying Agent to send, to each record holder of Merger Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration a letter of transmittal and instructions for exchanging their Merger Shares for the Merger Consideration payable therefor. The letter of transmittal will be in customary form and will specify that delivery of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss, and if requested by Parent appropriate indemnity, in lieu thereof) will be effected, and risk of loss and title will pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss, and if requested by Parent appropriate indemnity, in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent. Upon surrender of Certificate or Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss, and if requested by Parent appropriate indemnity, in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and any other documentation that the Paying Agent may reasonably require, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration payable in exchange therefor. Upon 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) in the case of Book-Entry Shares, the holder of such Book-Entry Shares shall, without being required to deliver a Certificate or a completed and executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent, be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the aggregate number of Book-Entry Shares that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1 by (B) the Merger Consideration, less any applicable withholding Taxes, and such Book-Entry Shares shall forthwith be canceled. The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof together with any required indemnity) and transferred Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of such Certificates or upon transfer of such Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Section 3.2(b). Until surrendered or transferred as contemplated by this Section 3.2(b), 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, without interest thereon, payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.

(c) If payment is to be made to a Person other than the registered holder of the Merger Shares formerly represented by the Certificate or Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor, it shall be a condition to such payment that the Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer or Book-Entry Share or Book-Entry Shares so transferred shall be properly transferred and that the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any applicable stock transfer taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Merger Shares or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such stock transfer taxes have been paid or are not payable.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further transfers on the stock transfer books or ledgers of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than to settle transfers of Shares that occurred prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article III.

(e) If any cash deposited with the Paying Agent remains unclaimed six (6) months after the Effective Time, such cash and any interest accrued thereon shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation upon demand, and any holder who has not surrendered such holder’s Certificates for the Merger Consideration prior to that time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of Certificates for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable unclaimed property laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares as of a date immediately prior to such time that 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 on such date, free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) No dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Surviving Corporation with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share.

(g) From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Agreement.

(h) In the event that any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, in addition to the posting by such holder of any bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the proper amount of the Merger Consideration in respect thereof entitled to be received pursuant to this Agreement.

(i) Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of local, state, federal, or foreign Tax Law. To the extent any amounts are so deducted or withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be timely

paid to the applicable Tax authority and shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be.

Section 3.3 Treatment of Company Options, Company Restricted Stock Awards and Performance Awards.

(a) Treatment of Company Options.

(i) As of the Effective Time, each Company Option, other than 2012 Options, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any Company Option and converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, a cash payment with respect thereto, payable by the Surviving Corporation, equal to the product of (i) the number of Shares previously subject to such Company Option and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share previously subject to such Company Option, less any required withholding Taxes (the “Option Payment”). As of the Effective Time, all Company Options, other than 2012 Options, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically terminate and cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Option (other than 2012 Options) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Option Payment.

(ii) As of the Effective Time, each 2012 Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by Parent and shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions, including vesting, applicable to each such 2012 Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each assumed 2012 Option shall be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock) of (i) the number of Shares that would have been issuable upon exercise of such 2012 Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Option Exchange Ratio. The per share exercise price of each such 2012 Option shall equal the quotient (which shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent) obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per Share applicable to such 2012 Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, Parent will deliver to each Person who holds a 2012 Option a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such 2012 Option by Parent. It is the intention of the parties that the assumption of the 2012 Options shall be effected in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Sections 409A and 424(a) of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder.

(iii) Parent shall take such actions as are necessary for the assumption of the 2012 Options pursuant to this Section 3.3(a), including the reservation, issuance and listing of Parent Common Stock as is necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 3.3(a). Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on an appropriate form, or a post-effective amendment to a registration statement previously filed under the Securities Act, with respect to the shares of Parent Stock subject to the 2012 Options and, where applicable, shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable following the Effective Time. With respect to those individuals, if any, who, subsequent to the Effective Time, will be subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, where applicable, Parent shall administer any equity compensation plan of the Company assumed pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) in a manner that complies with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(b) Treatment of Company Performance Shares. The performance periods applicable to each Company Performance Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall terminate immediately prior to the Effective Time, and 150% of the target number of Company Performance Shares subject to each such Company Performance Share award with respect to such performance period shall fully vest as of the Effective Time and shall be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, a cash payment with respect thereto, payable by the Surviving Corporation, equal to the product of (i) the number of vested Company Performance Shares subject to such award outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (after taking into account the accelerated vesting provided for herein) and (ii) the Merger Consideration, less any applicable withholding Taxes (the “Performance Share Payment”), subject, however, to any rights of such holder pursuant to Section 3.4. As of the Effective Time, all Company Performance Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically terminate and cease to exist, and each holder of Company Performance Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Performance Share Payment.

(c) Treatment of Company Restricted Stock. With respect to each share of Company Restricted Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the vesting restrictions shall lapse as of the Effective Time, and each share of Company Restricted Stock shall be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, a cash payment with respect thereto, payable by the Surviving Corporation, equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Restricted Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) the Merger Consideration, less any applicable withholding Taxes (the “Restricted Stock Payment”), subject, however, to any rights of such holder pursuant to Section 3.4. As of the Effective Time, all shares of Company Restricted Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically terminate and cease to exist, and each holder of shares of Company Restricted Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Restricted Stock Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3.3(c), any cash payment relating to Company Restricted Stock granted pursuant to a deferred issuance restricted stock award shall not be paid at the time set forth above, and shall be paid at the time that Shares would otherwise have been delivered pursuant to the terms of such deferred issuance restricted stock award as in effect on the date hereof.

(d) Treatment of Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary and appropriate actions such that (i) the then current offering period under the ESPP ends on the day immediately preceding the Effective Time (the “Final Purchase Date”), (ii) no new purchase or offering period under the ESPP commences on or following the Final Purchase Date and (iii) as of the Effective Time the ESPP terminates in accordance with the terms of the ESPP. On the Final Purchase Date, the Company shall apply all funds credited as of such date under such ESPP within each participant’s payroll withholding account to the purchase of whole Shares in accordance with the terms of such ESPP. On or after the date of this Agreement, in no event (x) shall any person who is not currently participating in the ESPP be permitted to begin participating in the ESPP, and (y) shall any new offering period commence after the date hereof and prior to the Final Purchase Date.

(e) Treatment of Bonus Plans.

(i) Each participant who has been granted an annual cash bonus award in respect of the 2012 calendar year under the Executive Bonus Plan shall be entitled to a cash payment, payable by the Surviving Corporation as required by Section 3.5 of the Executive Bonus Plan, which cash payment shall be equal to the greater of 100% of each such participant’s target bonus amount or actual year-to-date performance (in each case pro-rated to the Closing Date and without the exercise of negative discretion under Section 3.3 of the Executive Bonus Plan).

(ii) Each participant who has been granted an annual cash bonus award in respect of the 2012 calendar year under the Employee Bonus Plan shall be entitled, at the time of the regular payment of bonuses in accordance with Section III.A of the Employee Bonus Plan, to a cash payment, payable by the Surviving Corporation in an amount calculated solely pursuant to Section III.C of the Employee Bonus Plan and determined in good faith by the Surviving Corporation.

(iii) Each eligible participant who has been granted an annual cash bonus award in respect of the 2012 calendar year under the Employee Bonus Plan and whose employment is terminated by the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Date and prior to the regular payment of bonuses for 2012 under the Employee Bonus Plan shall be entitled to a cash payment, payable by the Surviving Corporation in an amount calculated by multiplying such employee’s base salary by (x) such employee’s Target % as set forth on Exhibit A or Exhibit B of the Employee Bonus Plan, as applicable, and (y) the Company Performance Factor for 2012 and further multiplying such result by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months such employee was employed by the Company during the period from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and the denominator of which is twelve (12); provided, however, that no such terminated employee shall be eligible to receive a bonus if (A) such employee is terminated for “Cause” (as defined in the Company’s form of employee stock option agreement under the 2003 Plan) or (B) such employee is terminated based upon a good faith determination by the Surviving Corporation at the time of termination that such employee’s performance has not been at an acceptable level.

(f) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all such actions as may be required to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.3.

Section 3.4 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger and who is entitled to demand and properly demands, exercises, and perfects his or her demand for appraisal of such Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless and until such holder shall have effectively withdrawn or lost, such holder’s right to appraisal under the DGCL. Dissenting Shares shall be treated in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and shall be entitled to receive consideration thereunder. At the Effective Time, Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled and cease to exist. If any such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses any such right to appraisal, each such Share of such holder shall thereupon be converted into and become exchangeable only for the right to receive, as of the later of the Effective Time and the time that such right to appraisal has been irrevocably lost, withdrawn or expired, the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1(c). The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal of any Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demands for appraisal.

Section 3.5 Further Assurances. After the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Parent, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Parent, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

negotiate or offer to effect, or consent or commit to, any such sale, leasing, licensing, transfer, disposal, divestiture or other encumberment, or holding separate, before or after the Effective Time, any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein of Parent (or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates), and (ii) take or agree to take any other action or agree or consent to any limitations or restrictions on freedom of actions with respect to, or its ability, in any material respect, to retain, or make changes in, any such assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation (or any of their respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliates); provided that Parent’s obligations under clauses (i) and (ii) above shall only apply to assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interests therein of Parent (or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates) which, in the aggregate, generated less than $58.0 million of the combined consolidated revenues of Parent and its Subsidiaries during Parent’s fiscal year ended September 24, 2011; provided further, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall authorize the Company to commit or agree to any of the foregoing, to obtain any consents, approvals, permits or authorizations or to remove any impediments to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby relating to any Regulatory Law or to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding relating to Regulatory Law.

(f) Subject to the obligations under Section 7.2(d), in the event that any administrative or judicial Proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority or private party challenging the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to cooperate in all respects with each other and to contest and resist any such Proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.3 Access to Information.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will provide, and will cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to provide, Parent and Merger Sub and their respective authorized Representatives, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, (i) such reasonable access to the offices, properties, books and records of the Company and such Subsidiaries (so long as such access does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Company) as Parent, Merger Sub or such Representatives reasonably may request regarding the business, assets, liabilities, employees and other aspects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) all documents that Parent or its authorized Representatives reasonably may request regarding the business, assets, liabilities, employees and other aspects of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3, the Company shall not be required to provide access to any information or documents (i) which it reasonably believes it may not provide Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives by reason of applicable Law (including any Regulatory Laws), (ii) which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is required to keep confidential by reason of contract or agreement with third parties, or (iii) which it reasonably believes would

constitute a waiver of the attorney-client or other privilege held by the Company. The parties will use their reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall, and Parent and Merger Sub shall cause each of their respective Representatives not to, use any information acquired pursuant to this Section 7.3 for any purpose unrelated to this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) No investigation by any of the parties or their respective Representatives shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the other parties set forth herein.

(d) All information obtained pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 7.4 Takeover Statutes. The parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts (a) to take all action necessary so that no Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b) if any such Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to any of the foregoing, to take all action necessary so that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such Takeover Statute on the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.5 Non-Solicitation and Recommendation Withdrawal.

(a) Subject to the remainder of this Section 7.5, until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX, the Company agrees that it shall not, and that it shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, agents, advisors, Affiliates and other representatives (“Representatives”) not to: (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage or facilitate (including by way of providing non-public information) or take any other action designed to facilitate the submission of any inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute or that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Company Acquisition Proposal (as hereinafter defined) or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish non-public information relating to the Company to, or otherwise cooperate with, any Person other than Parent, Merger Sub and their respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, agents, advisors, Affiliates and other representatives (any such other Person, a “Third Party”) with respect to the submission of any inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Company Acquisition Proposal, (ii) take any action to make the provisions of any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “business combination” or other similar anti-takeover statute or regulation, or any restrictive provision of any applicable anti-takeover provision in the Company Charter Documents, inapplicable to any transaction contemplated by a Company Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, a Company Acquisition Proposal or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, term sheet,

agreement in principle or other similar agreement, arrangement or understanding, or acquisition or merger agreement or other similar definitive agreement, arrangement or understanding (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) relating to, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Company Acquisition Proposal; (iv) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal shall be considered to modify), or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or take any action or make any statement materially inconsistent with, the Recommendation (a “Recommendation Withdrawal”); or (v) resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing related to any Company Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may waive the terms of a standstill agreement in effect as of the date of this Agreement if and only if the terms of such standstill agreement require the Company to invite the counterparty to submit a Company Acquisition Proposal, and if the other party to such standstill agreement expressly requests such a waiver then the Company shall grant such a waiver solely to the extent necessary to enable such other party to submit a bona fide written, unsolicited Company Acquisition Proposal in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and otherwise to enable the Company to take any other actions, and only such actions, expressly permitted to be taken by the Company pursuant to Section 7.5 following the submission by such other party of a bona fide written unsolicited Company Acquisition Proposal as if such standstill agreement were not in effect.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.5(a), if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval (but in no event after obtaining the Stockholder Approval), (i) the Company has received a bona fide written, unsolicited Company Acquisition Proposal that did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 7.5 or any standstill or similar agreement, from a Third Party and (ii) the Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal (as hereinafter defined), then the Company may, subject to compliance with Section 7.5(c), (A) furnish non-public information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Third Party making such Company Acquisition Proposal and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Third Party making such Company Acquisition Proposal regarding such Company Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the Company (x) will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose any non-public information to such Third Party without entering into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (as hereinafter defined), and (y) will as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than 24 hours) after it is provided to such Third Party provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries provided to such Third Party which was not previously provided to Parent; and provided, further, that the Company will not take any of the actions described in (A) or (B) above unless and until the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the failure to take that action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law.

(c) The Board of Directors shall not take any of the actions referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of the preceding subsection unless the Company shall have delivered to Parent a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action at least one (1) Business Day prior to taking such action. In addition, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than 36 hours) after receipt by any Representative of any Company Acquisition Proposal, or of any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall provide such notice orally and in writing and shall identify the Third Party making, and the terms and conditions of, any Company Acquisition Proposal, indication or request. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a current basis, of the status and details of any such Company Acquisition Proposal, indication or request and promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) provide Parent with copies of all written correspondence or communications sent or provided to or by the Company and its Representatives in connection with any Company Acquisition Proposal.

(d) Neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall, directly or indirectly, (i) effect a Recommendation Withdrawal (subject to the next following sentence in this Section 7.5(d)) or (ii) approve any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, term sheet, agreement in principle or similar definitive agreement, arrangement or understanding, or acquisition or merger agreement or other similar agreement, arrangement or understanding (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) relating to, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Company Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval (but in no event after obtaining the Stockholder Approval), the Board of Directors may, (A) in response to a Superior Proposal, effect a Recommendation Withdrawal, provided that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law or (B) in response to an Intervening Event, effect a Recommendation Withdrawal provided that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law, and provided, further, that in either case the Board of Directors shall not effect a Recommendation Withdrawal, unless the Company (w) notifies Parent, in writing, at least four (4) Business Days before taking that action advising Parent that the Board of Directors intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor in reasonable detail (including, if applicable, a copy of any draft definitive agreement with respect to any Superior Proposal), (x) during such four (4) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, engages in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for a Recommendation Withdrawal, and (y) if the contemplated Recommendation Withdrawal is in response to a Superior Proposal, during such four (4) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company engages in good faith negotiations with Parent to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Financing Commitments so that such Superior Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal. The parties agree that if there is any proposed amendment to the financial terms of a Superior Proposal or any other material terms thereof, such proposed amendment shall require a new written notification from the Company to Parent and an additional four (4) Business Day period that satisfies this Section 7.5(d).

(e) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal and shall request that any such Third Party (or its agents or advisors) in possession of confidential information about the Company or its Subsidiaries that was previously furnished to such Third Party by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to return or destroy all such information.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Board of Directors, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the Company Stockholders) or (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the Company Stockholders) if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to Company Stockholders under applicable Law; provided, however, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall, except as expressly permitted by Section 7.5(d) effect a Recommendation Withdrawal or approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend a Company Acquisition Proposal.

(g) Without limiting the foregoing, any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.5 by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.5 by the Company.

(h) As used in this Agreement, the term:

(i) “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means a confidentiality agreement that contains confidentiality, “standstill” and non-solicitation provisions that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, provided that such agreement shall not prohibit the Company from providing to Parent any of the information required to be provided to Parent under this Section 7.5;

(ii) “Company Acquisition Proposal” means, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any inquiry, proposal, indication of interest or offer from any Person or group of persons other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates relating to (A) any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of assets that constitute fifteen percent (15%) or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (B) any direct or indirect acquisition of fifteen percent (15%) or more of any class or series of Company Securities, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any Person or group of Persons beneficially owning fifteen percent (15%) or more of any class or series of capital stock of the Company, or (D) any merger, reorganization, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation,

dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company (or any Subsidiary of the Company whose business constitutes fifteen percent (15%) or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole); and

(iii) “Intervening Event” means a material development or change in circumstances occurring or arising after the date hereof that was neither known to the Board of Directors nor reasonably foreseeable as of or prior to the date hereof, provided, that (i) in no event shall any action taken by either party pursuant to and in compliance with the affirmative covenants set forth in Section 7.2 of this Agreement and the consequence of any such action, constitute an Intervening Event, (ii) in no event shall the receipt, existence of or terms of an Company Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry relating thereto or the consequences thereof constitute an Intervening Event, and (iii) in no event shall such Intervening Event result from a change in the market price of the Common Stock of the Company.

(iv) “Superior Proposal” means a written, bona fide, unsolicited Company Acquisition Proposal (for this purpose, substituting “a majority” for each reference to “fifteen percent (15%) or more” in the definition of Company Acquisition Proposal) that did not result from a breach of this Section 7.5 or any standstill or similar agreement that the Board of Directors in good faith determines, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, would, if consummated, result in a transaction that is more favorable to the Company Stockholders (solely in their capacity as such) from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated hereby (x) after taking into account such factors as the Board of Directors considers to be appropriate (including the likelihood of consummation of such transaction on the terms set forth therein and the legal, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal, including any conditions relating to financing, regulatory approvals or other events or circumstances), and (y) after taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to such Company Acquisition Proposal or otherwise.

Section 7.6 Director and Officer Liability.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing), in the same manner as provided by the Company immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, each present and former director, officer and employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries (in all of their capacities), including any person who becomes a director, officer or employee prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and disbursements), judgments, fines, penalties, losses, claims, damages or liabilities in connection with any claim, suit, action, Proceeding or investigation (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), whenever asserted or claimed, based on, arising out of or pertaining to, in whole or in part

(A) the fact that such Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) acts or omissions by an Indemnified Party in the Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or taken at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary of any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other business (including any employee benefit plan)), in each case under (A) or (B), at or prior to the Effective Time (including with respect to any claim, suit, action, Proceeding or investigation or any acts or omissions relating, in whole or in part, to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), in all such cases to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, and (ii) assume all obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Indemnified Parties in respect of indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in (A) the Company Charter Documents and the Company’s Subsidiaries’ respective articles or certificates of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational or governing documents) as in effect on the date of this Agreement, and (B) any indemnification agreement or other applicable contract of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, which shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.

(b) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties an insurance and indemnification policy with an insurer with the same or better credit rating as the current carrier for the Company that provides coverage for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) covering each such person covered by the officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy of the Company on terms with respect to coverage, retentions and limits of liability and in amounts no less favorable than those of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect on the date of this Agreement or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage; and provided, further, that if any annual premium for such insurance coverage exceeds three hundred percent (300%) of such annual premium, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain policies with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. The Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 7.6(b) may be satisfied by Parent or, with the approval of Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), the Company, purchasing a “tail” policy from an insurer with substantially the same or better credit rating as the current carrier for the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy, which (i) has an effective term of six (6) years from the Effective Time, (ii) covers each person covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect on the date of this Agreement or at the Effective Time for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) contains terms with respect to coverage, retentions and limits of liability and in amounts that are no less favorable than those of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect on the date of this Agreement. If such “tail” policy has been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such policy in full force and effect, for its full term, and shall honor all obligations thereunder.

(c) Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.6(a), the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect for six (6) years after the Effective Time in the Surviving Corporation’s (or any successor’s) certificate of incorporation and bylaws provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as those contained in the Company Charter Documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnified Parties; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim, suit, action, Proceeding or investigation pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such claim, suit, action, Proceeding or investigation or resolution thereof. In addition, for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) pay any expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and disbursements) of any Indemnified Party under this Section 7.6 (including in connection with enforcing the indemnity and other obligations referred to in this Section 7.6) as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, provided that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances to the extent required by applicable Law.

(d) The provisions of this Section 7.6 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her successors, heirs or Representatives, and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have under the Company Charter Documents, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, under any applicable Law, by contract or otherwise.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 7.6 shall survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding on the successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries. If Parent or the Surviving Corporation, or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall succeed to and honor the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 7.6.

Section 7.7 Public Announcements. Except with respect to any Recommendation Withdrawal in accordance with Section 7.5(d) or any action taken pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 7.5 or Article IX, so long as this Agreement is in effect, the parties will consult with each other, and use reasonable best efforts to accommodate the comments (including as to timing) of the other, before issuing any press release or making any other public statement, or scheduling any press conference or conference call with investors or analysts, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. No party

hereto or any of its respective Affiliates or representatives will issue any such press release or make any such other public statement or schedule any such press conference or conference call prior to such consultation, except to the extent the disclosing party determines it is required to do so by applicable Law or any listing agreement with or the listing rules of a national stock exchange, in which case that party will use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party before issuing any such release or making any such public statement.

Section 7.8 Notice of Current Events. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall promptly notify each other orally and in writing of (i) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that would reasonably be expected to cause any of their respective representations or warranties contained in this Agreement to become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) the receipt of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent or the consummation of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby; or (iii) any failure of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, to materially comply with or materially satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that (x) the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.8 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice, and (y) the failure to comply with this Section 7.8 shall not constitute the failure of any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be satisfied unless the underlying event would independently result in the failure of such a condition to be so satisfied.

Section 7.9 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of not less than one (1) year following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide all individuals who are employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries on the Effective Time so long as they remain employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries (including employees who are not actively at work on account of illness, disability or leave of absence) on the Effective Time (taken as a whole, the “Affected Employees”), with (i) annual base salary or hourly wage rates no less than the annual base salary or hourly wage rates as in effect for such Affected Employee as of the Effective Time and (ii) other compensation and employee benefits (whether pursuant to compensation or benefit plans maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary of Parent) that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the other compensation and employee benefits that are provided generally to similarly situated employees of Parent; provided, however, that (x) for purposes of determining “other compensation and employee benefits” required to be provided pursuant to clause (ii) above, incentive compensation, change in control bonuses, supplemental executive retirement benefits and any benefits that may result in excise taxes being imposed on the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall be excluded. Nothing contained in this Section 7.9 shall be deemed to grant any Affected Employee any right to continued employment after the

Effective Time nor to preclude Parent or its Subsidiaries from terminating the employment of any Affected Employee for any reason or for no reason at any time following the Effective Time. Additionally, nothing contained in this Section 7.9 shall be deemed to grant any Affected Employee any right to any specific type or amount of, or eligibility for, any compensation or benefit under any specific incentive compensation plan or employee benefit plan.

(b) As of and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall to the extent permitted by applicable Law or plan terms use reasonable best efforts to provide any Affected Employees with credit for employment with the Company for purposes of determining eligibility and vesting under any Parent employee compensation and incentive plans, benefit (including vacation) plans, programs, policies and arrangements maintained for the benefit of Affected Employees as of and after the Effective Time by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries for the Affected Employees’ service with the Company, its Subsidiaries and their predecessor entities (each, a “Surviving Corporation Plan”) to the same extent recognized by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time under any similar Company Benefit Plan. With respect to each Surviving Corporation Plan that is a “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (i) cause there to be waived any pre-existing condition or eligibility limitations and (ii) give effect, for the applicable plan year in which the Closing occurs, in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, Affected Employees under similar plans maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) For a period of at least two (2) years following the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) to, pay to any Affected Employee whose service with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) is terminated during such two (2) year period severance benefits that are not less favorable than the greater of (i) those severance benefits provided to such Affected Employees under the terms of any individual employment agreement to which such individual is a party in accordance with the terms thereof as of the date hereof or any Company severance plan, program, policy or guideline in which such individual is eligible to participate as of the date hereof, and (ii) those severance benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries).

(d) The provisions of this Section 7.9 are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to (i) confer upon or give to any person (including for the avoidance of doubt any Company Employees or Affected Employees), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 7.9) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement, or (ii) constitute an amendment or modification of any Company Benefit Plan.

Section 7.10 Transaction Litigation. Parent and the Company shall promptly advise each other orally and in writing of any claim, action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, mediation, or investigation commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company on the one hand and to the knowledge of Parent on the other hand, threatened prior to the Effective Time against

Parent or the Company, as the case may be, or any of their respective directors, relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall keep each other reasonably informed regarding any such occurrence. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense, negotiation, or settlement of any litigation against the Company and/or its directors and/or executive officers relating to this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Parent shall give the Company the opportunity to participate in the defense, negotiation, or settlement of any stockholder litigation against Parent and/or its directors and/or executive officers relating to this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting in any way the parties’ obligations under this Section 7.10, each of Parent and the Company shall cooperate, shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to cooperate, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause their respective directors, officers, employees and Representatives to cooperate, in the defense of such stockholder litigation.

Section 7.11 Obligations of Parent and the Company. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Parent to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause such Subsidiary (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of the Company to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Company to cause such Subsidiary to take such action (and, after the Effective Time, an undertaking on the part of the Surviving Corporation to cause such Subsidiary to take such action).

Section 7.12 Parent Representatives. Parent hereby designates the two officers of Parent set forth on Section 7.12 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, or such other officers as Parent may designate upon written notice to the Company (the “Parent Representatives”), to be responsible for determining whether consent to any action prohibited by Section 6.1 shall be given by Parent. The Parent Representatives shall respond promptly in writing to any request for consent to the taking of any action under Section 6.1. The Company may rely on any consent or response given by any of the Parent Representatives.

Section 7.13 Financing.

(a) Each of 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 and advisable to arrange and obtain the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment for the commitment period set forth therein, (ii) comply with its obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter; (iii) negotiate, execute and deliver definitive financing agreements with respect to the Debt Financing as contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (any such agreements the “Financing Agreements”) on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and any Fee Letter, (iv) satisfy on a timely basis all the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing set forth in the Debt Commitment

Letter and the Financing Agreements that are within the control of Parent or Merger Sub and upon satisfaction of such conditions, consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing; provided that under no circumstances shall Parent or any of its Subsidiaries be required to sell, dispose or otherwise transfer any assets in order to satisfy any conditions in the Debt Commitment Letter or in order to arrange or obtain the Debt Financing. Parent shall have the right from time to time to amend, replace, supplement or otherwise modify, or waive any of its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter and/or substitute other debt or equity financing for all or any portion of the Debt Financing from the same and/or alternative financing sources (including to reduce the amount of the Debt Financing), provided that any such amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification to or waiver of any provision of the Debt Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements that amends the Debt Financing and/or substitutes all or any portion of the Debt Financing (A) shall not expand upon the conditions precedent to the Debt Financing on the Closing Date of the Financing as set forth in the original Debt Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements, (B) shall provide for a financing amount (which when added to Parent’s available, unrestricted cash on hand, cash equivalents and marketable securities) will not be less than the amount necessary to satisfy the Required Amounts in full, and (C) shall not prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger beyond the Outside Date. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable or Parent becomes aware of any event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to result in any portion of the Debt Financing becoming unavailable, in each case, on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter and such portion is reasonably required to satisfy the Required Amounts in full, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to seek to arrange and obtain alternative debt financing from the same and/or alternative financing institutions in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, upon terms and conditions not materially less favorable in the aggregate to Parent or Merger Sub than those in the Debt Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreement, a copy of which shall be promptly provided to the Company. Any reference in this Agreement to (i) “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as amended, modified, replaced, or supplemented in compliance with this Section 7.13 and (ii) “Debt Commitment Letter” shall include such documents as amended, modified, replaced or supplemented in compliance with this Section 7.13. Parent shall give the Company notice promptly after Parent becomes aware of (x) any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or Financing Agreement, (y) of the receipt by Parent or Merger Sub of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing Source with respect to any (A) breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or any Financing Agreement of any provisions of the Debt Commitment Letter or any Financing Agreement or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or Financing Agreement and (z) if for any reason Parent or Merger Sub believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements. Parent shall provide to the Company copies of all documents related to the Debt Financing (including, without limitation, the Financing Agreements and excluding any ancillary documents subject to confidentiality agreements, including fee letters and engagement letters). Parent shall keep the Company informed on a prompt basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing (or any replacement financing). For the avoidance of doubt, the syndication of the Debt Financing to the extent permitted by the Debt Commitment Letter shall not be deemed to violate Parent or Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall provide, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to provide, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each of its and their respective Representatives (including its legal, tax, regulatory and accounting advisors), to provide, at Parent’s sole expense, such cooperation in connection with the Debt Financing as Parent shall reasonably request, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) provide, as promptly as reasonably practicable, to Parent and its Financing Sources information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries (including information to be used in the preparation of a customary information package regarding the business, operations, financial condition, projections and prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries customary for financings similar to the Debt Financing) to the extent reasonably requested by Parent and/or the Financing Sources to assist in preparation of customary offering or information documents to be used for the completion of the Debt Financing as contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, (ii) cause its senior management and other appropriate employees of the Company to participate in a reasonable number of meetings (including customary one-on-one meetings with GS or any other party acting as a lead arranger for the Debt Financing), presentations, road shows, drafting sessions, due diligence sessions (including accounting due diligence sessions), sessions with the rating agencies and otherwise cooperating with marketing efforts, (iii) assist Parent and its Financing Sources with the preparation of (A) any customary offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, Form 8-Ks, registration statements, prospectuses and similar documents (including historical and pro forma financial statements and information customarily included in such documents or required by the rules and regulations under the Securities Act) required in connection with the Debt Financing (it being understood that any such documents, memoranda, or prospectuses shall contain disclosure and financial statements reflecting the Surviving Corporation and/or its Subsidiaries as the obligor), and (B) materials for rating agency presentations, (iv) without limiting the generality of clause (iii) above, furnish Parent and Merger Sub, as promptly as practicable, with all financial statements and financial and other data and information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries of the type required in a registration statement on Form S-1 or by Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K under the Securities Act for registered offerings of debt securities at such time, and of the type and form customarily included in offering documents used in private placements under Rule 144A of the Securities Act (including historical and pro forma financial statements and information) and otherwise necessary to receive from the Company’s independent accountants customary “comfort” (including “negative assurance” comfort) with respect to such financial information, (v) consent to the use of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ logos to the extent customary in connection with marketing the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (vi) use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Parent and Parent’s advisors to obtain customary and reasonable legal opinions as reasonably requested by Parent, (vii) execute and deliver any credit agreements and other loan documents, underwriting or note purchase agreements, indentures, currency or interest hedging agreements, customary certificates (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any certificate with respect to solvency matters) or other agreements; provided,

however, that no obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any such agreements shall be effective until the Effective Time, (viii) use its reasonable best efforts, as appropriate, to have its independent accountants provide their reasonable cooperation and assistance, including using reasonable best efforts to provide customary comfort letters to the underwriters and to provide customary consents to inclusion of their audit reports in registration statements of the Company, (ix) provide customary authorization letters to the Financing Sources authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders or investors and containing a representation to the Financing Sources that the public side versions of such documents, if any, do not include material non-public information about the Company or its Subsidiaries or securities, and (x) cooperate reasonably with Parent’s Financing Sources’ due diligence, to the extent customary and reasonable and to the extent not unreasonably interfering with the business of the Company; provided that, in each case until the Effective Time occurs, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective officers or directors, as the case may be, shall (1) be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee, (2) enter into any definitive agreement or have any liability or any obligation under any certificate, document, instrument, credit agreement or any related document or any other agreement or document related to the Debt Financing (or any alternative financing that Parent may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), (3) unless promptly reimbursed by Parent, be required to incur any expenses in connection with the Debt Financing (or any alternative financing that Parent may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or (4) be required to take any action in their capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the Debt Financing (or any alternative financing) (provided that the Company shall cooperate with Parent, if requested by Parent, to appoint Parent’s designees to the Board of Directors or similar governing bodies of the Subsidiaries of the Company, as of the Effective Time, for the purpose of taking corporate action related to the Debt Financing as of the Effective Time). In the event that the Debt Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements are amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, including as a result of obtaining alternative financing in accordance with Section 7.13(a), or if Parent substitutes other debt or equity financing for all or a portion of the Debt Financing in accordance with Section 7.13(a), the Company shall comply with its covenants in the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.13(b) with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements, as applicable, as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified and with respect to such other debt financing to the same extent that the Company would have been obligated to comply with respect to the Debt Financing.

(c) Parent shall promptly, upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in connection with their respective obligations pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 7.13(b), and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all damages, losses, costs, liabilities or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and any information used in connection therewith (other than information provided by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and all other actions taken by the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives pursuant to Section 7.13(b).

Section 7.14 Resignation of Directors. At the Closing, if requested by Parent, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence satisfactory to Parent of the resignation of any or all of the directors of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, effective at the Effective Time.

Section 7.15 FIRPTA Certificate. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a certification to the effect that the Shares do not constitute “U.S. real property interests” within the meaning of Code Section 897(c)(1) and a notice form that meets the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2), along with written authorization for Parent to deliver such notice form to the Internal Revenue Service on behalf of the Company upon Closing (a “FIRPTA Certificate”); provided that, if the Company fails or is unable to comply with this Section 7.14, the Merger shall nonetheless close and Parent may withhold or cause to be withheld from the Merger Consideration and pay over to the appropriate taxing authorities the amount required to be withheld under Section 1445 of the Code as determined by Parent.

TERMINATION

(a) by mutual written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand;

(b) by either the Company, on the one hand, or Parent, on the other hand, if:

(i) the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any party if there has been any material breach by such party of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which was the principal cause of the failure of any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VIII hereto to be satisfied on or before the Outside Date; and provided further, however, that if, as of the Outside Date, all conditions to this Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, provided that such conditions are reasonably capable of being satisfied), other than the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(c) due to the failure to receive any required consent or clearance under any applicable Regulatory Law from a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction or any action by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction to prevent the Merger for

antitrust reasons, then Parent or the Company may extend the Outside Date to the nine (9) month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, in which case the Outside Date shall be deemed for all purposes such date, and provided, further, however, that if as of October 1, 2012, either of the conditions to closing set forth in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(c) shall not have been satisfied and this Agreement has not, as of such date, been terminated, and thereafter both of such conditions are satisfied on or prior to October 29, 2012, then Parent or the Company may extend the Outside Date to the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the date upon which the last of the conditions to closing set forth in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(c) was satisfied in order to complete the financing required to consummate the transaction, but in no event later than November 30, 2012, in which case the Outside Date shall be deemed for all purposes such date.

(ii) there shall be any final and nonappealable Law or any Governmental Authority issues any order or takes any other action that makes consummation of the Merger illegal or otherwise prohibited; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to any party if there has been any material breach by such party of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which was the principal cause of the issuance of such order or taking of such other action;

(iii) at the Stockholders’ Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) the Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained upon a vote taken with respect to the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(i) a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement (other than the failure of Parent to consummate the Merger as a result of a Financing Failure) shall have occurred which would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.3(a) not to be satisfied, and such breach is incapable of being cured by the Outside Date or is not cured by the earlier of (A) ten (10) Business Days following written notice to Parent by the Company of such breach and (B) the Outside Date; provided, however, that the Company is not then in material breach of this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, not to be satisfied;

(ii) the Board of Directors has determined to enter into a definitive agreement providing for the implementation of a Superior Proposal to the extent permitted by, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 7.5(d), and, concurrently with such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for the implementation of a Superior Proposal and pays the Termination Fee to Parent required by Section 9.3(e);

(d) by Parent if:

(i) a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement (other than a breach of Section 7.1(c) or Section 7.5 which shall be the subject of Section 9.1(d)(ii) below) shall have occurred which would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a) not to be satisfied, and such breach is incapable of being cured by the Outside Date or is not cured by the earlier of (A) ten (10) Business Days following written notice to the Company by Parent of such breach and (B) the Outside Date; provided, however, that neither Parent nor Merger Sub is then in material breach of this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.3, not to be satisfied;

(ii) the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective Representatives shall have breached in any material respect their respective obligations under Section 7.1(c) or Section 7.5; or

(iii) the Board of Directors shall (A) effect a Recommendation Withdrawal or, in the case of a Company Acquisition Proposal made by way of a tender offer or exchange offer, fail to recommend that the Company Stockholders reject such tender offer or exchange offer within the ten (10) Business Day period specified in Section 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (B) fail to include the Recommendation in the Proxy Statement.

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, whether before or after Stockholder Approval has been obtained; provided, however, that, after Stockholder Approval has been obtained, no amendment may be made which under applicable Law or the rules of any stock exchange requires the further approval of the Company Stockholders without such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment may be made to Section 10.4, Section 10.8, Section 10.11 and Section 10.12(c) that adversely affects the rights of any Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Financing Source.

Section 10.5 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, subject to the requirements of applicable Law, any party hereto may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) subject to the proviso in Section 10.4, waive compliance with any of the agreements or

conditions contained for the benefit of such party contained herein. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. The failure of any party to assert any rights or remedies shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies.

Section 10.6 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided that no party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the other parties hereto (and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void and without effect); provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder.

Section 10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

Section 10.8 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or pdf signatures and in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective only when actually signed by each party hereto and each such party has received counterparts hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto (by facsimile, pdf or otherwise). No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except (i) as provided in Section 7.6, (ii) for the right of the Company Stockholders and holders of Company Options (other than 2012 Options), Company Restricted Stock and Company Performance Shares to receive the Merger Consideration, Option Payment, Restricted Stock Payment or Performance Share Payment as provided in Article III as a result of the Merger and (iii) with respect to the Financing Sources, as provided in Section 10.12(c). Section 10.4, Section 10.8, Section 10.11 and Section 10.12(c) shall inure to the benefit of the Financing Sources, who are intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof.

Section 10.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by virtue of any applicable Law, or due to any public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 10.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the exhibits, annexes and appendices hereto, together with the other instruments referred to herein) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to its subject matter and supersede all oral or written prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings among the parties with respect to such subject matter.

Section 10.11 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in law or equity, including monetary damages, except as limited by Section 9.2 and Section 9.3) (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. In circumstances where Parent or the Company is obligated to consummate the Merger and the Merger has not been consummated (other than as a result of the other party’s refusal to close in violation of this Agreement) each of the Company and Parent expressly acknowledges and agrees that the other party shall have suffered irreparable harm, that monetary damages will be inadequate to compensate such other party, and that such other party shall be entitled to enforce specifically Parent’s or the Company’s, as the case may be, obligation to consummate the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not be entitled to enforce specifically the obligations of Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 shall have been satisfied or waived and the proceeds of the Debt Financing are then available in full pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter (or if Financing Agreements have been entered into, pursuant to such Financing Agreements). Each party further agrees that no other party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 10.11, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and any of its Affiliates (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against the Financing Sources arising out of, or relating to, the transactions contemplated hereby, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Debt Commitment, the Debt Financing or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto shall be to receive payment of the Financing Failure Fee from Parent in accordance with the terms of Section 9.3(i) and none of the Financing Sources will have any liability to the Company or its Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Debt Commitment or the Debt Financing, whether at law, or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. In no event shall the Company be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement against the Financing Sources.

Section 10.12 Jurisdiction.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction over the matter is vested in the federal courts, any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such court, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in such court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.12.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and irrevocably agree (i) that any Proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving the Financing Sources arising out of, or relating to, the transactions contemplated hereby, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Debt Commitment, the Debt Financing or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, and any appellate court thereof and each party hereto submits for itself and its property with respect to any such Proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, (ii) not to bring or permit any of their Affiliates to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such Proceeding in any other court, (iii) that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to them at their respective addresses provided in

Section 10.1, or in any other manner permitted by applicable Law, shall be effective service of process against them for any such Proceeding brought in any such court, (iv) to waive and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such Proceeding in any such court, (v) to waive and hereby waive any right to trial by jury in respect of any such Proceeding, (vi) that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law, (vii) that any such Proceeding shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State that would result in the application of the laws of any other State and (viii) that the Financing Sources are express third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, any provisions in this Section 10.12.

Section 10.13 Authorship. The parties agree that the terms and language of this Agreement were the result of negotiations between the parties and their respective advisors and, as a result, there shall be no presumption that any ambiguities in this Agreement shall be resolved against any party. Any controversy over construction of this Agreement shall be decided without regard to events of authorship or negotiation.

Section 10.14 Schedules. Disclosure of any fact, circumstance or information in any Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosure of such fact, circumstance or information with respect to any other Sections of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule, respectively, if it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure relates to one or more or all of such Sections. The inclusion of any item in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of materiality of such item, nor shall it establish any standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever.
