AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of February 13, 2018 (as amended in accordance with the terms hereof, this “Agreement”), is by and among Kemper Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Vulcan Sub, Inc., an Ohio corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have each unanimously approved the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company with the Company as the Surviving Corporation (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the Ohio General Corporation Law (the “OGCL”), whereby each issued and outstanding share (each, a “Company Share” and, collectively, the “Company Shares”) of common stock of the Company, no par value per share (the “Company Common Stock”), other than Appraisal Shares and any Company Shares owned by any Parent Company or any Acquired Company, will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (subject to any required withholding of Taxes);

WHEREAS, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desires to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger; and

WHEREAS, (a) as an inducement to and condition of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Persons listed on Schedule I is entering into a voting agreement with Parent, dated as of the date hereof, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A (collectively, the “Company Voting Agreements”) and (b) as an inducement to and condition of the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Persons listed on Schedule II is entering into a voting agreement with the Company, dated as of the date hereof, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B (collectively, the “Parent Voting Agreements”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the OGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company at the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”). The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and specified in the OGCL.

(b) At the Effective Time, the Company Charter shall be amended and restated to read as set forth on Exhibit C and shall thereafter be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the provisions thereof, hereof and of the other organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and applicable Law. At the Effective Time, the code of regulations of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the code of regulations of the Surviving Corporation (except that references to the name of Merger Sub shall be replaced by references to the name of the Surviving Corporation) until thereafter amended in accordance with the provisions thereof, hereof and of the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and applicable Law.

Section 1.2 Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such transactions, including the Merger and the Share Issuance, the “Transactions”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on a date to be specified by the parties, such date to be no later than the third Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than conditions that may only be satisfied on the Closing Date, but subject to the satisfaction of such conditions), by electronic exchange of documents and signatures, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.3 Effective Time. On the Closing Date (or on such other date as Parent and the Company may agree), the Company and Merger Sub shall cause to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Ohio a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) executed and acknowledged in accordance with, and containing such information as is required by, the relevant provisions of the OGCL in order to effect the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at the time the Certificate of Merger shall have been duly filed with, and accepted by, the Secretary of State of the State of Ohio or such later date and time as is agreed upon by the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger, such date and time hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time.”

Section 1.4 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time and such other individuals as Parent may determine shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors shall have been duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s articles of incorporation and code of regulations and applicable Law.

ARTICLE II

MERGER CONSIDERATION; CONVERSION OF STOCK

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any Company Shares or any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:

(a) Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Each Company Share that is owned by Parent, Merger Sub, any other direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or any Acquired Company shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no shares of Parent common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Parent Common Stock”), or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c)

(i) Subject to Section 2.1(c)(ii), Section 2.1(d) and Section 2.2, each issued and outstanding Company Share (in each case, other than Appraisal Shares and Company Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b)), which immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the only class of capital stock of the Company then outstanding, shall be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive the following consideration, without interest thereon and subject to any required withholding of Taxes, and such certificated Company Share and the certificate that formerly represented such Company Share (a “Certificate”) or such non-certificated Company Share in book-entry form (“Company Book-Entry Shares”), as the case may be, shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the following consideration, without interest thereon and subject to any required withholding of Taxes (in each case as applicable):

(A) Each Company Share with respect to which an election to receive a combination of stock and cash (a “Mixed Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.3 (each, a “Mixed Consideration Electing Share”) and each Non-Electing Company Share shall be converted into the right to receive the combination (which combination shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Mixed Consideration”) of (1) $51.60 in cash (the “Per Share Cash Amount”) and (2) 1.2019 of a share of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio”), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.1(c)(ii).

(B) Each Company Share with respect to which an election to receive only cash (a “Cash Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.3 (each, a “Cash Electing Company Share”) shall be converted (provided that the Available Cash Election Amount equals or exceeds

the Cash Election Amount) into the right to receive in cash, without interest, an amount (rounded to two decimal places) (the “Per Share Cash Election Consideration”) equal to the sum of (1) the Per Share Cash Amount plus (2) the product of the Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio multiplied by the Fixed Volume-Weighted Average Price; provided, however, that if (x) the product of the number of Cash Electing Company Shares and the Per Share Cash Election Consideration (such product being the “Cash Election Amount”) exceeds (y) the difference between (I) the product of the Per Share Cash Amount and the total number of Company Shares (other than Appraisal Shares and Company Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b)) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time minus (II) the product of the Per Share Cash Amount and the number of Mixed Consideration Electing Shares (including any Non-Electing Company Shares) (such difference being the “Available Cash Election Amount”), then each Cash Electing Company Share shall be converted into a right to receive (a) an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the product (rounded to two decimal places) of (i) the Per Share Cash Election Consideration and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Available Cash Election Amount and the denominator of which shall be the Cash Election Amount (such fraction being the “Cash Fraction”) and (b) a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the Exchange Ratio and (2) one (1) minus the Cash Fraction.

(C) Each Company Share with respect to which an election to receive only stock consideration (a “Stock Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.3 (each, a “Stock Electing Company Share”) shall be converted (provided that the Cash Election Amount equals or exceeds the Available Cash Election Amount) into a number of shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.1(c)(ii), equal to (1) the Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio plus (2) the quotient (rounded to four decimal places) of the Per Share Cash Amount divided by the Fixed Volume-Weighted Average Price; provided, however, that if the Available Cash Election Amount exceeds the Cash Election Amount, then each Stock Electing Company Share shall be converted into the right to receive (x) an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the amount (rounded to two decimal places) of such excess divided by the number of Stock Electing Company Shares and (y) a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded to four decimal places) of (I) the Exchange Ratio and (II) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Per Share Cash Election Consideration minus the amount calculated in clause (x) of this paragraph and the denominator of which shall be the Per Share Cash Election Consideration.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or the outstanding Company Shares or the securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the Merger Consideration and the Exchange Ratio and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of Company Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

(iii) The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued and cash payable upon the conversion of Company Shares pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.2(e) are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Merger Consideration.”

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, that have not been voted in favor of, or consented to, the adoption of this Agreement and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal and payment of the fair cash value of such Company Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Sections 1701.84 and 1701.85 of the OGCL (“Appraisal Shares”) shall not be converted into Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(c), but rather the holders of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to only such rights as are provided by Sections 1701.84 and 1701.85 of the OGCL with respect to such Appraisal Shares; provided, however, that, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Sections 1701.84 and 1701.85 of the OGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that such holder is not entitled to the remedies provided by Sections 1701.84 and 1701.85 of the OGCL with respect to the Appraisal Shares, then the rights of such holder under Sections 1701.84 and 1701.85 of the OGCL with respect to such Appraisal Shares shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to be Mixed Consideration Electing Shares that have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and be deemed to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(c)(i)(A), without interest and subject to any required withholding of Taxes. The Company shall serve prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any Company Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and Actions with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer or commit to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall make available with a nationally recognized financial institution designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Company Shares, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, through the Exchange Agent, the full number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 in exchange for outstanding Company Shares based on a good faith estimate thereof. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall provide or shall

cause to be provided to the Exchange Agent all of the cash necessary to pay the cash portion of the Merger Consideration, and shall, after the Effective Time on the appropriate payment date, if applicable, provide or cause to be provided to the Exchange Agent any dividends or other distributions payable on such shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.2(c) (such shares of Parent Common Stock and cash provided to the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or other distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). For the purposes of such deposit, Parent shall assume that there will not be any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock. In no event shall Parent be required to issue certificates or scrip, or make any book-entries, representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock. Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent, for addition to the Exchange Fund, from time to time as needed, cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.2(e). The Exchange Agent shall deliver the Parent Common Stock and cash contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 2.1 out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, to each holder of record of a Certificate whose Company Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c), (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to any Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Form of Election and any Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration and matters relating thereto. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash and the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book-entry form) which the aggregate number of Company Shares previously represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) into the right to receive and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.2(e), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made and shares of Parent Common Stock may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Subject to Section 2.1(d) and the last sentence of Section 2.2(c), until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration into which the Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate has been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c). No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no holder of Company Book-Entry Shares shall be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of

transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant hereto. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one or more Company Book-Entry Shares shall automatically upon the delivery of a Form of Election (and, in the case of Company Book-Entry Shares held via a depository, upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of any customary transmission or materials required by the Exchange Agent), be entitled to receive, the Merger Consideration. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Company Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Company Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(c) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Certificate formerly representing Company Shares or Company Book-Entry Shares with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon surrender thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.2(e), until the surrender of such Certificate or (in the case of Company Book-Entry Shares) delivery of a Form of Election (and, in the case of Company Book-Entry Shares held via a depository, upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of any customary transmission or materials required by the Exchange Agent), in accordance with this Article II. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate or (in the case of Company Book-Entry Shares) delivery of a Form of Election (and, in the case of Company Book-Entry Shares held via a depository, upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of any customary transmission or materials required by the Exchange Agent), there shall be paid to the holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender or delivery, as the case may be, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender or delivery, as the case may be, and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(d) The Merger Consideration issued (and paid) in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any Company Shares shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares (other than the right to receive dividends or other distributions, if any, in accordance with Section 2.2(c)). After the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of Company Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing Company Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(e) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Company Shares pursuant to Section 2.1, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a holder of Parent Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 2.2(e), all fractional shares to which a single record holder would be entitled shall be aggregated, and calculations shall be rounded to

three decimal places. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each holder of Company Shares who would otherwise be entitled to such fractional shares shall be entitled to an amount in cash, without interest, rounded down to the nearest cent, equal to the product of (i) the amount of the fractional share interest in a share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled under Section 2.1(c) (or would be entitled but for this Section 2.2(e)) and (ii) an amount equal to the Fixed Volume-Weighted Average Price. The amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Company Common Stock in lieu of any fractional share interests in Parent Common Stock shall be paid by the Exchange Agent, without interest, to the holders of Company Common Stock entitled to receive such cash as soon as practicable after the determination of such amount.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, and any holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent therefor for payment of its claim for the Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.1(c)(i).

(g) None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund (including any amounts delivered to Parent in accordance with Section 2.2(f)) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Immediately prior to the date on which any Merger Consideration or any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.2(c)(i) in respect of a Company Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Company Share shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of Parent Common Stock and the cash, unpaid dividends or other distributions that would be payable or deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Article II had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

(i) The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis; provided that no monetary losses on such investment thereof shall affect the Merger Consideration payable hereunder and, following any such losses, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Company Shares, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, in the amount of such losses to the extent that the amount then in the Exchange Fund is insufficient to pay the cash portion of the Merger Consideration that remains payable. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

(j) Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or under any provision of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing authority, such amount deducted or withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made, and, in the case of any amounts withheld from any payments not consisting entirely of cash, Parent shall be treated as though it withheld an appropriate amount of the type of consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Stock, sold such consideration for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such consideration at the time of such deemed sale and paid such cash proceeds to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

Section 2.3 Company Election Procedures.

(a) Each Person who, on or prior to the Election Deadline, is a record holder of Company Shares, other than Appraisal Shares and Company Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b), shall be entitled to specify the number of such holder’s Company Shares with respect to which such holder makes a Cash Election, a Stock Election or a Mixed Election in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Parent shall prepare and file as an exhibit to the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the SEC by Parent in connection with the Share Issuance (together with any amendment or supplements thereto, the “Form S-4”) a form of election (the “Form of Election”) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company.

The Company shall not terminate, waive, amend, release or modify in any respect any material provision of any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which any Acquired Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is a party with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal, and shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the provisions of any such agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled to waive any standstill provision included in any such confidentiality agreement or any standstill provision contained in any standstill agreement to which any Acquired Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is a party solely to permit any Company Acquisition Proposal if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel) that failure to waive such standstill would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the Company under applicable Law.

(b) The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, and the Company shall cause the directors and officers of the Company not to and shall direct their respective other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage or knowingly induce or facilitate the making, submission or announcement of any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer constituting or related to a Company Acquisition Proposal, (ii) make available any non-public information regarding any of the Acquired Companies to any Person (other than Parent and Parent’s or the Company’s Representatives acting in their capacity as such) in connection with or in response to a Company Acquisition Proposal, (iii) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal (other than to state that they currently are not permitted to have discussions), (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Company Acquisition Proposal, (v) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Company Acquisition Proposal, (vi) enter into any letter of intent or agreement in principle or any Contract providing for, relating to or in connection with any Company Acquisition Proposal (other than a Company Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with Section 5.3(c)) or (vii) reimburse or agree to reimburse the expenses of any other Person (other than the Company’s Representatives) in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal.

Company Shareholder Approval, the Company may (and may authorize and permit its Subsidiaries and Representatives to): (A) make available information with respect to the Acquired Companies to the Person making such Company Acquisition Proposal pursuant to a Company Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided that any non-public information provided or made available to any Person given such access shall have been previously provided or made available to Parent or shall be provided or made available to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Person; and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Company Acquisition Proposal regarding such Company Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the Acquired Companies shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries and the Company’s directors and officers to, and direct the Company’s other Representatives to, cease any activities described in clause (A) or (B) of this Section 5.3(c) immediately following the time that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and outside financial advisor) that the applicable Company Acquisition Proposal ceases to be a Company Superior Proposal or a Company Acquisition Proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company and its Representatives may in any event have discussions with any Person solely in order to (1) clarify and understand the terms and conditions of the Company Acquisition Proposal made by such Person and (2) to request that any Company Acquisition Proposal made orally be made in writing. The Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) advise Parent in writing of the receipt of any Company Acquisition Proposal (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Company Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, proposal or offer and the terms and conditions thereof) that is made or submitted by any Person prior to the Effective Time. The Company shall keep Parent informed, on a reasonably current basis, of the status of, and any financial or other changes in, any such Company Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal or offer, including providing Parent copies of any correspondence related thereto and proposed documents to effect such Company Acquisition Proposal (or a written summary of the material terms of such Company Acquisition Proposal, if not made in writing).

(d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.3(e), Section 5.3(f) or Section 5.3(g), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i)(A) directly or indirectly, fail to make, withhold, withdraw or qualify (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent) the Company Recommendation or the approval of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, take any action (or permit or authorize any of the Acquired Companies or any of its or their respective Representatives to take any such action) inconsistent with the Company Recommendation or resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions (each such action set forth in this Section 5.3(d)(i)(A) being referred to herein as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (B) adopt, approve, recommend, endorse or otherwise declare advisable any Company Acquisition Proposal or resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions, (ii) cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement related to a Company Acquisition Proposal, other than a Company Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement pursuant to Section 5.3(c), (iii) take any action to make the provisions of any Takeover Laws or any restrictive provision of any applicable anti-takeover provision in the Company Charter or the Company Regulations inapplicable to any transactions contemplated by a Company Acquisition Proposal (including approving any transaction under the OGCL) or (iv) resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 5.3(d), at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, provided that the Acquired Companies have complied with the provisions of this Section 5.3 applicable to the Acquired Companies, then, prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board may solely in response to a Company Superior Proposal received on or after the date hereof that has not been withdrawn or abandoned and that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.3, make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in order to cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(iv) (including payment of the Termination Fee) and concurrently enter into a binding definitive agreement to effect such Company Superior Proposal. Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(iv) or cause the Company to enter into a binding definitive agreement to effect such Company Superior Proposal unless the Company has first complied with the provisions of Section 5.3(f) and, after so complying, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel) that such Company Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Company Superior Proposal.

(f) The Company Board shall not take any action set forth in Section 5.3(e) unless the Company has first (i) provided written notice to Parent (a “Notice of Company Superior Proposal”) advising Parent that the Company has received a Company Superior Proposal, specifying the terms and conditions of such Company Superior Proposal, identifying the Person making such Company Superior Proposal and providing copies of any agreements intended to effect such Company Superior Proposal and that the Company Board has made the determination required under Section 5.3(e), (ii) negotiated, and caused the Company and its Representatives to negotiate, during the four (4) Business Day period following Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Company Superior Proposal (the “Company Superior Proposal Notice Period”), in good faith with Parent to enable Parent to make a counteroffer or propose to amend the terms of this Agreement (to the extent Parent wishes to do so) so that such Company Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes a Company Superior Proposal, and (iii) after complying with the immediately foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), reaffirmed the Company Board’s determination required under Section 5.3(e) in light of any counteroffer or proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that if, during the Company Superior Proposal Notice Period any revisions are made to a Company Acquisition Proposal and such revisions are material (it being understood and agreed that any change to consideration with respect to such proposal is material), the Company shall deliver a new Notice of Company Superior Proposal to Parent and shall comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3(f) with respect to such new Notice of Company Superior Proposal, except that any subsequent Company Superior Proposal Notice Period shall be two (2) Business Days following Parent’s receipt of such new Notice of Company Superior Proposal.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Company Board, in circumstances not involving or relating to a Company Acquisition Proposal, from effecting a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to the occurrence of a Company

Intervening Event if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the Company under applicable Law and the Company has first: (i) provided written notice to Parent (a “Notice of Company Intervening Event”) describing the Company Intervening Event and advising Parent that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor in reasonable detail; (ii) negotiated, and caused the Company and its Representatives to negotiate, during the four (4) Business Days following Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Company Intervening Event (the “Company Intervening Event Notice Period”), in good faith with Parent regarding any revisions to the terms of the Transactions proposed by Parent in response to such Company Intervening Event; and (iii) at the end of the Company Intervening Event Notice Period, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel (and taking into account any adjustment or modification of the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent), that a Company Intervening Event continues to exist and that the failure to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would constitute a breach by the Company Board of its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the Company under applicable Law.

(h) The Company agrees that it shall take all actions necessary so that any Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall not change the approval of this Agreement or any other approval of the Company Board or any committee thereof in any respect that would have the effect of causing any of the Takeover Laws of any state (including the State of Ohio) or other similar statutes to be applicable to the Transactions, including the Merger.

(i) Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board from (A) taking and disclosing a position contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A, Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act or (B) making any disclosure to its shareholders if the Company Board determines (after consultation with its outside counsel) that failure to do so would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the Company under applicable Law; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Company Board (or any committee thereof) shall be permitted to recommend that the shareholders of the Company tender any securities in connection with any tender or exchange offer (or otherwise approve, endorse or recommend any Company Acquisition Proposal), unless in each case, in connection therewith, the Company Board effects a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 5.3(e); provided, further that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be a Company Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly publicly reaffirms the Company Recommendation and rejects any Company Acquisition Proposal within the later of (1) three (3) Business Days after such “stop, look and listen” communication and (2) if applicable, the deadline for filing a Schedule 14D-9 with respect to such Company Acquisition Proposal with the SEC.

(j) Any action taken or not taken by any Representative of any of the Acquired Companies that, if taken or not taken by the Company would constitute a breach of this Section 5.3, shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by the Company.

Section 5.4 Parent Acquisition Proposals.

(a) Following the execution of this Agreement, the Parent Companies shall, and Parent shall cause the directors and officers of Parent to and shall direct their respective other Representatives to, (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Parent Acquisition Proposal and (ii) request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously made available by it or on its behalf in connection with any actual or potential Parent Acquisition Proposal. Parent shall not terminate, waive, amend, release or modify in any respect any material provision of any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which any Parent Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is a party with respect to any Parent

Acquisition Proposal, and shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the provisions of any such agreement; provided, however, that Parent shall be entitled to waive any standstill provision included in any such confidentiality agreement or any standstill provision contained in any standstill agreement to which any Parent Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is a party solely to permit any Parent Acquisition Proposal if the Parent Board determines in good faith (after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel) that failure to waive such standstill would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Parent under applicable Law.

(b) The Parent Companies shall not, and Parent shall cause the directors and officers of Parent not to and shall direct their respective other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage or knowingly induce or facilitate the making, submission or announcement of any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer constituting or related to a Parent Acquisition Proposal, (ii) make available any non-public information regarding any of the Parent Companies to any Person (other than the Company and Parent’s or the Company’s Representatives acting in their capacity as such) in connection with or in response to a Parent Acquisition Proposal, (iii) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Parent Acquisition Proposal (other than to state that they currently are not permitted to have discussions), (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Parent Acquisition Proposal, (v) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Parent Acquisition Proposal, (vi) enter into any letter of intent or agreement in principle or any Contract providing for, relating to or in connection with any Parent Acquisition Proposal (other than a Parent Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with Section 5.4(c)) or (vii) reimburse or agree to reimburse the expenses of any other Person (other than Parent’s Representatives) in connection with a Parent Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4, if at any time prior to obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval, (i) Parent receives, after the date of this Agreement, an unsolicited bona fide written Parent Acquisition Proposal, (ii) such Parent Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of this Agreement and (iii) Parent Board determines in good faith (after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel and outside financial advisor) that such Parent Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Parent Superior Proposal, then, prior to obtaining Parent Stockholder Approval, Parent may (and may authorize and permit its Subsidiaries and Representatives to): (A) make available information with respect to the Parent Companies to the Person making such Parent Acquisition Proposal pursuant to a Parent Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided that any non-public information provided or made available to any Person given such access shall have been previously provided or made available to the Company or shall be provided or made available to the Company prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Person; and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Parent Acquisition Proposal regarding such Parent Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the Parent Companies shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries and Parent’s directors and officers to, and direct Parent’s other Representatives to, cease any activities described in clause (A) or (B) of this Section 5.4(c) immediately following the time that the Parent Board determines in good faith (after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel and outside financial advisor) that the applicable Parent Acquisition Proposal ceases to be a Parent Superior Proposal or a

Parent Acquisition Proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Parent Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent and its Representatives may in any event have discussions with any Person solely in order to (1) clarify and understand the terms and conditions of the Parent Acquisition Proposal made by such Person and (2) to request that any Parent Acquisition Proposal made orally be made in writing. Parent shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) advise the Company in writing of the receipt of any Parent Acquisition Proposal (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Parent Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, proposal or offer and the terms and conditions thereof) that is made or submitted by any Person prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall keep the Company informed, on a reasonably current basis, of the status of, and any financial or other changes in, any such Parent Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal or offer, including providing Parent copies of any correspondence related thereto and proposed documents to effect such Parent Acquisition Proposal (or a written summary of the material terms of such Parent Acquisition Proposal, if not made in writing).

(d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.4(e), Section 5.4(f) or Section 5.4(g), neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) directly or indirectly, fail to make, withhold, withdraw or qualify (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent) the Parent Recommendation or the approval of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, take any action (or permit or authorize any of the Parent Companies or any of its or their respective Representatives to take any such action) inconsistent with the Parent Recommendation or resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions (each such action set forth in this Section 5.4(d)(i)(A) being referred to herein as a “Parent Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (B) adopt, approve, recommend, endorse or otherwise declare advisable any Parent Acquisition Proposal or resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions, (ii) cause or permit Parent to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement related to a Parent Acquisition Proposal, other than a Parent Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement pursuant to Section 5.4(c), (iii) take any action to make the provisions of any Takeover Laws or any restrictive provision of any applicable anti-takeover provision in the Parent Charter or the Parent Bylaws inapplicable to any transactions contemplated by a Parent Acquisition Proposal (including approving any transaction under the Delaware General Corporation Law) or (iv) resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 5.4(d), at any time prior to obtaining Parent Stockholder Approval, provided that the Parent Companies have complied with the provisions of this Section 5.4 applicable to the Parent Companies, then, prior to obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval, the Parent Board may solely in response to a Parent Superior Proposal received on or after the date hereof that has not been withdrawn or abandoned and that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.4, make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change in order to cause Parent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(iv) (including payment of the Termination Fee) and concurrently enter into a binding definitive agreement to effect such Parent Superior Proposal. Neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(iv) or cause Parent to enter into a binding definitive agreement to effect such Parent Superior Proposal unless Parent has first complied with the provisions of Section 5.4(f) and, after so complying, the Parent Board determines in good faith (after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel) that such Parent Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Parent Superior Proposal.

(f) Parent Board shall not take any action set forth in Section 5.4(e) unless Parent has first (i) provided written notice to the Company (a “Notice of Parent Superior Proposal”) advising the Company that Parent has received a Parent Superior Proposal, specifying the terms and conditions of such Parent Superior Proposal, identifying the Person making such Parent Superior Proposal and providing copies of any agreements intended to effect such Parent Superior Proposal and that the Parent Board has made the determination required under Section 5.4(e), (ii) negotiated, and caused Parent and its Representatives to negotiate, during the four (4) Business Day period following the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Parent Superior Proposal (the “Parent Superior Proposal Notice Period”), in good faith with the Company to enable the Company to make a counteroffer or propose to amend the terms of this Agreement (to the extent the Company wishes to do so) so that such Parent Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal, and (iii) after complying with the immediately foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), reaffirmed the Parent Board’s determination required under Section 5.4(e) in light of any counteroffer or proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that if, during the Parent Superior Proposal Notice Period any revisions are made to a Parent Acquisition Proposal and such revisions are material (it being understood and agreed that any change to consideration with respect to such proposal is material), Parent shall deliver a new Notice of Parent Superior Proposal to Parent and shall comply with the requirements of this Section 5.4(f) with respect to such new Notice of Parent Superior Proposal, except that any subsequent Parent Superior Proposal Notice Period shall be two (2) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of such new Notice of Parent Superior Proposal.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Parent Board, in circumstances not involving or relating to a Parent Acquisition Proposal, from effecting a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change in response to the occurrence of a Parent Intervening Event if the Parent Board determines in good faith (after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Parent under applicable Law and Parent has first: (i) provided written notice to the Company (a “Notice of Parent Intervening Event”) describing the Parent Intervening Event and advising the Company that the Parent Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor in reasonable detail; (ii) negotiated, and caused Parent and its Representatives to negotiate, during the four (4) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Parent Intervening Event (the “Parent Intervening Event Notice Period”), in good faith with the Company regarding any revisions to the terms of the Transactions proposed by the Company in response to such Parent Intervening Event; and (iii) at the end of the Parent Intervening Event Notice Period, the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel (and taking into account any adjustment or modification of the terms of this Agreement proposed by the Company), that a Parent Intervening Event continues to exist and that the failure to make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change would constitute a breach by the Parent Board of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Parent under applicable Law.

(h) Parent agrees that it shall take all actions necessary so that any Parent Adverse Recommendation Change shall not change the approval of this Agreement or any other approval of the Parent Board or any committee thereof in any respect that would have the effect of causing any of the Takeover Laws of any state (including the State of Ohio) or other similar statutes to be applicable to the Transactions, including the Merger.

(i) Nothing contained in this Section 5.4 or elsewhere in the Agreement shall prohibit the Parent Board from (A) taking and disclosing a position contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A, Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act or (B) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Parent Board determines (after consultation with its outside counsel) that failure to do so would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Parent under applicable Law; provided, however, that neither Parent nor Parent Board (or any committee thereof) shall be permitted to recommend that the stockholders of Parent tender any securities in connection with any tender or exchange offer (or otherwise approve, endorse or recommend any Parent Acquisition Proposal), unless in each case, in connection therewith, the Parent Board effects a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 5.4(e); provided, further that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Parent Board expressly publicly reaffirms the Parent Recommendation and rejects any Parent Acquisition Proposal within the later of (1) three (3) Business Days after such “stop, look and listen” communication and (2) if applicable, the deadline for filing a Schedule 14D-9 with respect to such Parent Acquisition Proposal with the SEC.

(j) Any action taken or not taken by any Representative of any of the Parent Companies that, if taken or not taken by Parent would constitute a breach of this Section 5.4, shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Parent.

(k) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the respective meanings assigned below:

(i) “Parent Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means a customary confidentiality agreement containing terms substantially similar to, and (taken as a whole) no less favorable to Parent than, those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that such confidentiality agreement (A) must contain a “standstill” or similar provision or otherwise prohibit the making or amendment of any Parent Acquisition Proposal, except that such provisions may include an exception solely to allow the other party to the agreement to (1) make a confidential Parent Acquisition Proposal to the Parent Board or (2) make confidential requests to Parent for amendments, waivers or consents under, or agreements not to enforce, such “standstill,” similar provision or other provision that prohibits the making of a Parent Acquisition Proposal and (B) shall not prohibit compliance by any of the Parent Companies with any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 5.5 Preparation of the Form S-4 and Joint Proxy Statement; Shareholder and Stockholder Meetings.

(a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall prepare, and Parent shall file with the SEC, the Form S-4, in which the Joint Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus. Each of Parent and the Company shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of the Form S-4 and Joint Proxy Statement. The Company and Parent shall provide the other with the opportunity to review and comment on such documents prior to their filing with the SEC. Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after such filing and to keep the Form S-4 effective as long as necessary to consummate the Merger.

Parent or the Company, as applicable, will advise the other promptly after it receives oral or written notice of the time when the Form S-4 has become effective under the Securities Act or any supplement or amendment has been filed with the SEC, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or any oral or written request by the SEC for amendment of the Joint Proxy Statement or the Form S-4 or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information, and will promptly provide the other with copies of any written communication received from the SEC or any state securities commission. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to Parent or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by Parent or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement so that any such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party hereto that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other and an appropriate amendment or supplement to

the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC, after the other has had a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of Parent and the shareholders of the Company. Parent will cause the Joint Proxy Statement to be mailed to Parent’s stockholders and the Company will cause the Joint Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s shareholders, in each case as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act.

(b) The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) following effectiveness of the Form S-4, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “Company Shareholder Meeting”) for the purpose of seeking the Company Shareholder Approval.

The Company shall have the right to postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholder Meeting for no longer than twenty (20) Business Days in the aggregate (A) for the absence of a quorum, (B) to allow reasonable additional time to solicit additional proxies to the extent that at such time, taking into account the amount of time until the Company Shareholder Meeting, the Company has not received a number of proxies that would reasonably be believed to be insufficient to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval at the Company Shareholder Meeting or (C) with the prior written consent of Parent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5.5(b) shall not be affected by (and the Company shall seek the Company Shareholder Approval at the Company Shareholder Meeting notwithstanding the occurrence of) the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or public or private communication to the Company of any Company Acquisition Proposal or by a Company Adverse Recommendation Change (in the event of such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, except with respect to the Company Recommendation) unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 7.1(d)(iv).

(c) Parent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) following effectiveness of the Form S-4, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Parent Stockholder Meeting”) for the purpose of seeking the Parent Stockholder Approval. Subject to Section 5.4(e), Section 5.4(f) and Section 5.4(g), Parent shall, through the Parent Board, recommend that its stockholders approve the Share Issuance (the “Parent Recommendation”) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the approval of the Share Issuance and (ii) take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the Parent Stockholder Approval, and the Parent Board shall not withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify, the Parent Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent. Parent shall have the right to postpone or adjourn the Parent Stockholder Meeting for no longer than twenty (20) Business Days in the aggregate (A) for the absence of a quorum, (B) to allow reasonable additional time to

solicit additional proxies to the extent that at such time, taking into account the amount of time until the Parent Stockholder Meeting, Parent has not received a number of proxies that would reasonably be believed to be insufficient to obtain the Parent Stockholder Approval at the Parent Stockholder Meeting or (C) with the prior written consent of the Company.

(d) The Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to hold the Company Shareholder Meeting and the Parent Stockholder Meeting on the same date, including by postponing or adjourning the Company Shareholder Meeting or the Parent Stockholder Meeting, as applicable, if the other party postpones or adjourns the Parent Stockholder Meeting or the Company Shareholder Meeting, as applicable.

Section 5.6 Access to Information; Confidentiality. Subject to contractual and legal restrictions applicable to the Company or Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries, each of the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, afford to the other and to the Representatives of such other reasonable access during normal business hours during the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time or the date of the termination of this Agreement, as the case may be, to all of their respective properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records (including the work papers of independent accountants, if available and subject to the consent of such independent accountants) and, during such period, each of the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to the other and to the Representatives of such other all information concerning its business, properties and personnel as such other may reasonably request; provided, however, that such access does not unreasonably disrupt the ordinary course operations of the Acquired Companies or the Parent Companies, as applicable. No access, materials, information or investigation pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto. This Section 5.6 shall not require any Acquired Company or Parent Company to permit any access, or to disclose any materials or information, that in the reasonable judgment of such party would reasonably be expected to (i) result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties or a violation of any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality under any Contract, Law or otherwise (provided that party shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third party to such access or disclosure), (ii) result in the loss of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other legal privilege with respect to such materials or information or (iii) in the case of documents or portions of documents relating to pricing or other matters that are highly sensitive, result in a violation of applicable Law (including a Governmental Entity alleging that providing such information violates any Regulatory Law). If any material is withheld by a party pursuant to the preceding sentence, such party shall inform the other as to the general nature of what is being withheld and use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. All materials and information exchanged or to which access is granted pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall be subject to the letter agreement, dated as of October 16, 2017 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), by and between the Company and Parent.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees to make, if required, appropriate filings and registrations under applicable Regulatory Laws and Insurance Laws. Each party hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions within a reasonable time period not to exceed fifteen (15) days after the date hereof and to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested by any Governmental Entity pursuant to the HSR Act and to take all other commercially reasonable actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable, including by requesting early termination of the waiting period provided for in the HSR Act. Each party hereto agrees to make appropriate filings of Applications for Approval of Acquisition of Control Statements, or “Form A” statements, and all related filings, with respect to the Transactions with the applicable Insurance Regulators, as applicable, as soon as practicable after the date hereof and to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable any additional information and documentary material that may be reasonably requested by any Insurance Regulator pursuant to the Insurance Laws and to take all other commercially reasonable actions necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the applicable consents and approvals of the applicable Insurance Regulators as soon as practicable.

(b) Each of Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall, in connection with and without limiting the obligations to use certain efforts referenced in Section 5.7(a), to the extent relating to the requisite approvals, authorizations and clearances for the Transactions under the HSR Act and the other Regulatory Laws and the Insurance Laws, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in

connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any Action initiated by a private party, (ii) keep the other reasonably informed of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), any Insurance Regulator or any other Governmental Entity and of any communication received or given in connection with any Action by a private party, in each case regarding any of the Transactions, (iii) permit the other a reasonable opportunity to review any substantive written communication given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any scheduled substantive meeting, discussion or conference with, the FTC, the DOJ, any Insurance Regulator or any other Governmental Entity or, in connection with any Action by a private party, with any other Person, and, to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ, such Insurance Regulator or such other applicable Governmental Entity or other Person, as applicable, give the other the reasonable opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings, discussions and conferences and (iv) to the extent practicable and subject to the other provisions in this Section 5.7, attempt to confer in good faith in order to (A) exchange and review respective views and positions with the other as to potential Materially Burdensome Conditions and (B) discuss and present to, and engage with, the applicable Governmental Entity regarding any approaches or actions that could mitigate the scope or impact of a potential Materially Burdensome Condition so that it does not become a Materially Burdensome Condition. Parent and the Company shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication, including promptly furnishing each other copies of any written or electronic communication, and shall promptly advise each other when any such communication causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any requisite approval, authorization or clearance for the Transactions under the HSR Act or any Requisite Regulatory Approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval, authorization or clearance or Requisite Regulatory Approval will be materially delayed or conditioned or impose or require a Materially Burdensome Condition. The parties hereto will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with, and provide to the other parties in advance, any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals to be made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto, including reasonable access to any materials submitted in connection with any proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act or any other applicable Regulatory Law, including any proceeding under 16 C.F.R. § 803.20. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Parent shall have final approval over all matters pertaining to any Action, meeting, discussion, conference or response in connection with the HSR Act and any Requisite Regulatory Approval and (B) the Company and Parent may, as each deems advisable and necessary (after consultation with the Company’s or Parent’s outside legal counsel, as applicable), reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other side under this Section 5.7(b) as Competitively Sensitive Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as supplemented by the letter agreement, dated as of January 29, 2018 (the “Clean Team Addendum”), by and between the Company and Parent)). Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the Clean Team Member (as defined in the Clean Team Addendum) and the outside counsel for matters relating to Regulatory Law of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such Clean Team Member or outside counsel to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the recipient or any of its Affiliates, unless expressly provided for in and in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as supplemented by the

Clean Team Addendum)) or express permission is obtained in advance from the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or its outside legal counsel. Each of the Company and Parent shall cause the Clean Team Member and its respective outside legal counsel for matters relating to Regulatory Law to comply with this Section 5.7(b).

(c) Without limiting any other obligations of Parent hereunder, Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to respond to and seek to resolve as promptly as reasonably practicable any objections asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions and use reasonable best efforts to take any and all action necessary to ensure that each requisite approval, authorization or clearance under the HSR Act and each Requisite Regulatory Approval is obtained by the Outside Date, in each case, without imposing or requiring a Materially Burdensome Condition.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Parent Company shall be obligated to, and no Acquired Company shall, without the prior written consent of Parent, consent to, take or refrain from taking, or offer or commit or consent to take or refrain from taking (i) any action that involves (A) making any divestiture or disposition of any portion of any business or assets, (B) licensing any portion of any business or assets, (C) accepting or entering any consent decree or hold separate order or (D) placing any assets in trust, in each case by Parent or any of the other Parent Companies or the Company or any of the other Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, in each case except for such actions related to de minimis assets (with such assets measured on a scale relative to the Acquired Companies, taken as a whole), (ii) any action that involves (A) accepting or entering into any operational restriction or restriction on the payment or declaration of dividends, (B) making any capital commitment or capital guaranty or (C) entering into any capital support agreement, statement of support, guarantee, keep well or other similar capital maintenance undertaking to maintain a minimum risk-based capital level or rating, in each case with respect to, or in connection with, Parent or the other Parent Companies or the Company or the other Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates which, in each case and together with any other such action, would or would reasonably be expected to detract from the benefits reasonably expected to be derived by Parent and the other Parent Companies as a result of the Merger (with such benefits measured on a scale relative to the Acquired Companies, taken as a whole and to include Parent’s ability to operate its business after giving effect to the Merger), or (iii) any action that would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Parent Material Adverse Effect, after giving effect to the Merger (with such materiality measured on a scale relative to the Acquired Companies, taken as a whole), in each case of the immediately foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), whether before or after the Closing (any such action, a “Materially Burdensome Condition”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall a party hereto or any of its Affiliates be required by a Governmental Entity to agree to take, or enter into any action, which action is not conditioned upon the Closing.

Section 5.8 Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Following the Effective Time, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each employee of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries who shall have been an employee of any of the Acquired Companies immediately prior to the

Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) to be provided full credit for prior service with the Company or its Subsidiaries as was credited under similar or comparable Company Plans for purposes of (i) eligibility and vesting under any Parent Employee Plans, but not for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit plan of any of the Parent Companies or for purposes of determining eligibility for retiree health and welfare benefits, and (ii) unless covered under another arrangement with or of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, determination of benefit levels under any Parent Employee Plan or policy of general application relating to vacation or severance, in either case for which the Continuing Employees are otherwise prospectively eligible and in which the Continuing Employees are offered participation, but except where such credit would result in a duplication of benefits. For the avoidance of doubt, no Continuing Employee shall be retroactively eligible for any Parent Employee Plan, including any such Parent Employee Plan that was frozen prior to the Effective Time. In addition, Parent shall: (A) waive, or shall use commercially reasonably efforts to cause to be waived, any limitations on benefits relating to pre-existing conditions, actively-at-work requirements, waiting periods and similar exclusions, to the same extent such limitations, exclusions and requirements would not have been applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents under the terms of any comparable medical and dental plan of the Acquired Companies; and (B) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the similar or comparable Company Plans to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying all deductibles, co-payments, maximum out-of-pocket requirements and similar expenses applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable similar or comparable Parent Employee Plan during the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Parent Employee Plan” means any “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA), “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), and any other formal written plan or policy under which service with Parent is relevant to eligibility, vesting or level of benefits, for the benefit of, or relating to, the current employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries and with respect to which eligibility has not been frozen.

(b) To the extent requested by Parent in a written notice to the Company provided at least five (5) days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions necessary or appropriate to terminate, effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, any Company Plan that provides for cash or deferred elections, within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code. If Parent provides such a notice to the Company, the Company shall deliver to Parent, prior to the Closing Date, evidence that the Company Board has validly adopted resolutions to terminate such Company Plans (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to the approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effective no later than the date immediately preceding the Closing Date.

(c) Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring, and the Company shall take no action that would have the effect of requiring, Parent or the Surviving Corporation to continue any specific employee benefit plans, to permit the rollover of plan benefits into, or participation in, a Parent benefit plan or to continue the employment of any specific individual. With respect to any individual whose employment is terminated by Parent or the Surviving

Corporation during the twelve (12) month period immediately following the Effective Time (but not including any individual who has entered into an individualized agreement providing for severance benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment), Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall provide severance benefits to such individual which shall be determined and payable in accordance with the severance benefit plan maintained for similarly situated employees of the Company at the Effective Time, taking into account all service with the Company in determining the amount of severance benefits payable. The provisions of this Section 5.8 are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to (i) constitute an amendment to any of the compensation and benefits plans maintained for or provided to Continuing Employees prior to or following the Effective Time, (ii) impede or limit Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates from amending or terminating any Company Plan following the Effective Time or (iii) confer upon or give to any Person (including for the avoidance of doubt any current or former employees, labor unions, directors or independent contractors of any of the Acquired Companies or, on or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement.

(d) From the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time or the date of the termination of this Agreement, as the case may be, subject to Section 5.1, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the other Acquired Companies to, use its best efforts to (i) keep effective the employment with the Company or any of the other Acquired Companies of, and retain as employees, each of the Key Managers and Key Employees and (ii) replace any Key Manager or Key Employee whose employment with the Company or any of the other Acquired Companies has been terminated, which replacement shall not occur unless Parent has provided its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify Parent of the termination of the employment of any Key Manager or Key Employee with an Acquired Company or of any Key Manager or Key Employee otherwise ceasing to be employed by an Acquired Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Departure).

Section 5.9 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company and Parent shall promptly notify each other of the receipt of any written communication received from any Person alleging that it or any other Person is or may be required to obtain a material consent of such first-mentioned Person in connection with the Transactions or a consent from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall not (a) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (b) limit the remedies available to the party sending or receiving such notice.

Section 5.10 Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of, acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of any of the Acquired Companies as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation, bylaws or other comparable organizational documents and any indemnification or

other agreements of the Acquired Companies with any of the current or former directors or officers of any of the Acquired Companies as in effect on the date of this Agreement shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time, and shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For a period of no less than six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving Corporation shall, maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of each Acquired Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other comparable organizational documents in effect as of the date of this Agreement or in any indemnification agreements of the Acquired Companies with any of their respective directors, officers or employees in effect as of the date of this Agreement, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who immediately before the Effective Time were current or former directors, officers or employees of any of the Acquired Companies; provided, however, that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Action.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted under the Law of the State of Ohio, indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing and costs of defense to) each current and former director or officer of any of the Acquired Companies (each such individual, together with such individual’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”), in each case against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with any actual or threatened Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the fact that such Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director or fiduciary of any of the Acquired Companies at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, if and only to the extent required by applicable Law, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses. No Indemnified Party shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual Action for which indemnification could be sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder unless Parent consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Parent shall, in its sole discretion, either (i) provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, following the Effective Time, the Company’s current directors and officers an insurance and indemnification policy or (ii) obtain, at or prior to the Effective Time so long as it does not result in gaps or lapses of coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, prepaid (or “tail”) directors’ and officers’ insurance and indemnification policies that, in either case, provide coverage for events occurring prior to the Effective Time for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Time (the “Continuing D&O Insurance”) that are no less favorable in the aggregate (with respect to limits and deductibles) to the Company’s existing policy or, if such insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available similar coverage; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation

shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the Continuing D&O Insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Company’s Current Premium”). If such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed three hundred percent (300%) of the Company’s Current Premium, then Parent shall cause to be maintained policies of such insurance which, in Parent’s good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to three hundred percent (300%) of the Company’s Current Premium.

(d) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all its properties and assets, then, and in each case, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall ensure that such surviving corporation or entity or the transferees of such properties or assets assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.10.

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 5.10 shall be in addition to any rights such Indemnified Party may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other comparable organizational documents of any of the Acquired Companies or under any agreement of any Indemnified Party with any of the Acquired Companies, in each case in effect as of the date of this Agreement, or under applicable Law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, these rights shall survive consummation of the Merger in accordance with their terms and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party.

Section 5.11 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) or acquisitions of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Parent Common Stock) resulting from the Transactions by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to Parent to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Parent and the Company shall provide to the other, prior to adoption, copies of the resolutions to be adopted by their respective boards of directors to implement the foregoing.

Section 5.12 Takeover Statutes. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub and their respective boards of directors (or other comparable governing bodies) shall (a) grant all such approvals and take all such actions as are reasonably necessary or appropriate so that no Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement (including the Merger and the other Transactions) and (b) if any Takeover Law is or may become applicable to this Agreement (including the Merger and the other Transactions), grant all such approvals and take all such actions as are reasonably necessary or appropriate so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable hereafter on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act reasonably to eliminate or minimize the effects of such Takeover Law on such transactions.

The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in, but not control, the defense or settlement of any such Action, shall keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to any material developments regarding the defense or settlement of any such Action and shall give due consideration to Parent’s advice with respect to such shareholder Action and shall not settle or offer to settle any such Action without the prior written consent of Parent, unless (a) such settlement is solely for monetary damages entirely paid for with proceeds of insurance (other than the deductibles under insurance policies in effect as of the date hereof) and in connection therewith the Company does not (i) disparage Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of the respective affiliates or businesses of the foregoing or the impact or effect of the Transactions or (ii) disclose competitively sensitive information of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of the respective affiliates or businesses of the foregoing and (b) if Parent is a named party in such Action, Parent receives a full and complete release on terms no less favorable than those received by the Company.

Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 8.10 Remedies. Subject to Section 7.3(d), the parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such failure to perform or breach. Accordingly and subject to Section 7.3(d), each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Delaware Court of Chancery, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity and no party will allege, and each party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Upon such a determination, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

107
