W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, in anticipation of the Mergers, Aristotle has formed (i) Parent, (ii) Aristotle Merger Sub and (iii) Plato Merger Sub;

WHEREAS, (i) each of Aristotle, Parent and Aristotle Merger Sub desire, following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, to effect the Aristotle Merger upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement whereby Aristotle Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Aristotle, with Aristotle as the surviving entity in the Aristotle Merger and Aristotle Surviving Corporation becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and (ii) immediately following consummation of the Aristotle Merger, each of Plato, Parent and Plato Merger Sub desire, following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, to effect the Plato Merger upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby Plato Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Plato, with Plato as the surviving entity in the Plato Merger, and Plato Surviving Corporation becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent;

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of each of Aristotle, Plato, Parent, Aristotle Merger Sub and Plato Merger Sub have each determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of their respective companies and stockholders to consummate the Mergers and the Transactions (as defined below) on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Plato has, subject to Sections 5.3(b) and 5.4, unanimously resolved to recommend the adoption of this Agreement by the Plato stockholders;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Aristotle has, subject to Sections 5.3(c) and 5.4, unanimously resolved to recommend the adoption of this Agreement by the Aristotle stockholders;

WHEREAS, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Aristotle Merger and the Plato Merger taken together shall qualify as an exchange within the meaning of Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); and

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

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Aristotle, Plato, Parent and the Merger Subs agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGERS

Section 1.1 The Aristotle Merger.

(a) At the Aristotle Effective Time, Aristotle Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Aristotle (the “Aristotle Merger”) in accordance with the DGCL, and upon the terms set forth in this Agreement, whereupon the separate existence of Aristotle Merger Sub shall cease and Aristotle shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Aristotle Surviving Corporation”). As a result of the Aristotle Merger, the Aristotle Surviving Corporation shall become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent.

(b) From and after the Aristotle Effective Time, the Aristotle Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities and duties of Aristotle and Aristotle Merger Sub, all as provided under the DGCL.

Section 1.2 The Plato Merger.

(a) At the Plato Effective Time, Plato Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Plato (the “Plato Merger” and, together with the Aristotle Merger, the “Mergers”) in accordance with the DGCL, and upon the terms set forth in this Agreement, whereupon the separate existence of Plato Merger Sub shall cease and Plato shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Plato Surviving Corporation” and, together with the Aristotle Surviving Corporation, the “Surviving Corporations”). As a result of the Plato Merger, the Plato Surviving Corporation shall become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent. The Mergers and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are referred to herein as the “Transactions.” References herein to “Aristotle” or “Plato” with respect to the period from and after the Aristotle Effective Time or the Plato Effective Time, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be references to the Aristotle Surviving Corporation or the Plato Surviving Corporation, as the case may be.

(b) From and after the Plato Effective Time, the Plato Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities and duties of Plato and Plato Merger Sub, all as provided under the DGCL.

Section 1.3 Closing. The closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Four Times Square, New York, New York, 10036 at 9:00 a.m. local time, as soon as practicable (but, subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI, in any event, within three (3) Business Days) after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all applicable conditions set forth in Article VI (except for any conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied on the Closing Date, but subject to the satisfaction of such conditions or waiver by the party entitled to waive such conditions) or at such other time and place as

Aristotle and Plato shall agree; provided, however, that notwithstanding the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all applicable conditions set forth in Article VI, neither Parent nor Aristotle shall be obligated to effect the Closing prior to the third (3^rd) Business Day following the final day of the Marketing Period or such earlier date as Aristotle shall request on two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Plato (but, subject in such case, to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all applicable conditions set forth in Article VI (except for any conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied on the Closing Date, but subject to the satisfaction of such conditions or waiver by the party entitled to waive such conditions)). The date and time on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Marketing Period to have commenced or to have been completed shall not constitute a condition to the parties’ obligations to effect the Closing if it would cause Closing to occur after the fourth Business Day prior to the Outside Date, as it may be extended pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(ii).

Section 1.4 Effective Times.

(a) On the Closing Date, each of the following filings shall be made substantially concurrently with the other: (i) Aristotle shall file a certificate of merger (the “Aristotle Certificate of Merger”), in accordance with Section 251 of the Delaware General Corporate Law (the “DGCL”), with the Delaware Secretary of State and make all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL in connection with the Aristotle Merger and (ii) Plato shall file a certificate of merger (the “Plato Certificate of Merger”) with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL in connection with the Plato Merger.

(b) (i) The Aristotle Merger shall become effective at such time as the Aristotle Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State or at such other time as Plato and Aristotle shall agree and specify in the Aristotle Certificate of Merger (such time as the Aristotle Merger becomes effective being the “Aristotle Effective Time”) and (ii) immediately following consummation of the Aristotle Merger, the Plato Merger shall become effective at such time as the Plato Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, or at such other time as Parent and Plato shall agree and specify in the Plato Certificate of Merger (such time as the Plato Merger becomes effective being the “Plato Effective Time”, and such time as the Mergers become effective being the “Effective Times”).

At the Aristotle Effective Time, the by-laws of Aristotle Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated pursuant to the Aristotle Merger to be identical to the bylaws of the Aristotle Merger Sub.

(d) Each of the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of Parent at the Aristotle Effective Time shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto, and the name of Parent immediately after such time shall be “Express Scripts Holding Company”.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock of Aristotle and Aristotle Merger Sub. At the Aristotle Effective Time, by virtue of the Aristotle Merger and without any action on the part of Aristotle, Parent, Aristotle Merger Sub or any holder of any shares of Aristotle common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Aristotle Common Stock”):

(a) All shares of Aristotle Common Stock that are held by Aristotle as treasury stock or that are owned by Aristotle, Aristotle Merger Sub or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of Aristotle immediately prior to the Aristotle Effective Time shall cease to be

outstanding and shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.1(a), 2.4 and 2.10, each share of Aristotle Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Aristotle Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Parent Common Stock (the “Aristotle Merger Consideration”).

(c) Each share of Aristotle Merger Sub common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Aristotle Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Aristotle Surviving Corporation.

(d) All of the shares of Aristotle Common Stock converted into Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall cease to be outstanding and shall cease to exist and, as of the Aristotle Effective Time, the holders of Aristotle Common Stock shall be deemed to have received shares of Parent Common Stock (without the requirement for the surrender of any certificate previously representing any such shares of Aristotle Common Stock or issuance of new certificates representing Parent Common Stock), with each certificate representing shares of Aristotle Common Stock (an “Aristotle Certificate”) prior to the Aristotle Effective Time being deemed to represent automatically an equivalent number of shares of Parent Common Stock.

Section 2.2 Effect on Capital Stock of Plato and Plato Merger Sub. At the Plato Effective Time, by virtue of the Plato Merger and without any action on the part of Plato, Parent, Plato Merger Sub or any holder of any shares of Plato common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Plato Common Stock”):

(a) All shares of Plato Common Stock that are held by Plato as treasury stock or that are owned by Plato, Plato Merger Sub or any wholly owned Subsidiary of Plato immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.2(a), 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6, each share of Plato Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time (including any shares of Plato Common Stock held in a Plato Benefit Plan or related trust) shall be converted into and shall thereafter represent the following consideration: (i) the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Cash Amount and (ii) that number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) in an amount equal to the Exchange Ratio.

(c) The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued, and cash payable, upon the conversion of shares of Plato Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.2 and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.5 are referred to collectively as “Plato Merger Consideration.” As of the Plato Effective Time, all such shares of Plato Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Plato Common Stock (a “Plato Certificate”) or shares

of Plato Common Stock held in book entry form (“Plato Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive, in accordance with Section 2.2(b), the Plato Merger Consideration and any other amounts herein provided, upon surrender of such Plato Certificate, without interest.

(d) Each share of Plato Merger Sub common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Plato Surviving Corporation.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Per Share Cash Amount” means $28.80.

(ii) “Exchange Ratio” means 0.81.

Section 2.3 Effect on Parent Capital Stock. At the Aristotle Effective Time, each share of capital stock of Parent issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Aristotle Effective Time shall remain outstanding. Immediately following the Aristotle Effective Time, shares of capital stock of Parent owned by Aristotle Surviving Corporation shall be surrendered to Parent without payment therefor.

Section 2.4 Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Times, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock, Aristotle Common Stock or Plato Common Stock 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 Plato Merger Consideration and the Exchange Ratio and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be equitably adjusted to provide the holders of Aristotle Common Stock and Plato Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

Section 2.5 Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Plato Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.2, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a holder of Parent Common Stock. All fractional shares to which a single record holder of Plato Common Stock would be otherwise entitled to receive shall be aggregated and calculations shall be rounded to three decimal places. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each holder of Plato Common Stock 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 (A) the amount of the fractional share interest in a share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled under Section 2.2(b) (or would be entitled but for this Section 2.5) and (B) an amount equal to the average of the closing sale prices of the Aristotle Common Stock on the NASDAQ for each of the fifteen (15) consecutive trading days ending with the fourth (4^th) complete trading day prior to the Closing Date. As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Plato Common Stock in lieu of any fractional

share interests in Parent Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts, without interest, to the holders of Plato Common Stock entitled to receive such cash.

Section 2.6 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares (“Appraisal Shares”) of Plato Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Appraisal Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) shall not be converted into Plato Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.2, but rather the holders of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to payment by the Plato Surviving Corporation of the “fair value” of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 262; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Plato Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, Plato Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.2(b). Plato shall serve prompt notice to Aristotle of any demands received by Plato for appraisal of any shares of Plato Common Stock, and Aristotle shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Plato Effective Time, Plato shall not, without the prior written consent of Aristotle, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.7 Exchange of Plato Certificates.

(a) Prior to the Plato Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with a nationally recognized financial institution designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to Plato (the “Exchange Agent”), it being agreed by the parties that the American Stock Transfer & Trust Company is acceptable, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Plato Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, through the Exchange Agent, subject to Section 2.7(b)(ii), certificates representing the full number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.2 in exchange for outstanding shares of Plato Common Stock. Prior to the Plato Effective Time, Aristotle shall provide or shall cause to be provided to the Exchange Agent all of the cash necessary to pay the cash portion of the Plato Merger Consideration, and Parent shall, after the Plato 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 2.7(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 initial deposit, Aristotle shall assume that there will not be any 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 2.5. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver the Parent Common Stock and cash contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.5 out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Plato Certificates. Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Plato Effective Time, to each holder of record of a Plato Certificate whose shares were converted into the Parent Common Stock portion of Plato Merger Consideration and the right to receive the cash portion of the Plato Merger Consideration pursuant to Sections 2.2(b) and 2.5, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Plato Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Plato Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as are reasonably satisfactory to both of Plato and Aristotle) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Plato Certificates in exchange for Plato Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Plato 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 such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Plato Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver in exchange thereof as promptly as practicable (A) the Per Share Cash Amount, (B) the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book entry form unless a physical certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii) (after taking into account all shares of Plato Common Stock then held by such holder), (C) any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.7(c)(i) and (D) cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.5, and the Plato Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Plato Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of Plato, payment may be made and shares may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Plato Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Plato 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 Plato Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Subject to Section 2.6, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.7, each Plato Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Plato Effective Time to represent only the Parent Common Stock portion of the Plato Merger Consideration and the right to receive upon such surrender the cash portion of the Plato Merger Consideration, in each case, into which the shares of Plato Common Stock theretofore represented by such Plato Certificate have been converted pursuant to Section 2.2(b), dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.7(c)(i) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.5. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Plato Certificate.

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of Plato Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Plato Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Plato Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Plato Book-Entry Shares whose shares of Plato Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Plato Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to

Section 2.7(c)(ii) shall automatically upon the Plato Effective Time (or, at any later time at which such Plato Book-Entry Shares shall be so converted) be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable after the Plato Effective Time, in respect of each share of Plato Common Stock (A) the Per Share Cash Amount, (B) the number or shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested by such holder of record) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.7(b), (C) any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.7(c)(ii) and (D) cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.5, and the Plato Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall forthwith be canceled.

(i) Plato Certificates. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Plato Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any certificate formerly representing Plato Common Stock, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.5, until the surrender of such Plato Certificate in accordance with this Article II. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Plato Certificate, 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, 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 2.5 and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Plato 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 Plato Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock.

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. Holders of Plato Book-Entry Shares who are entitled to receive shares of Parent Common Stock under this Article II shall be paid (A) at the time of payment and delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.7(b), the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Plato Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock, and 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 2.5 and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Plato Effective Time but prior to the time of such payment and delivery by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.7(b) and a payment date subsequent to the time of such payment and delivery by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.7(b) payable with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock.

(d) The Plato Merger Consideration issued (and paid) in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon the surrender of the Plato Certificates (or, automatically, in the case of the Plato Book-Entry Shares) shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Plato Common Stock (other than the right to

receive the payments and deliveries contemplated by this Article II). After the Plato Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of Plato Surviving Corporation of shares of Plato Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time. If, after the Plato Effective Time, any Plato Certificates formerly representing shares of Plato Common Stock are presented to the Plato Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Plato Common Stock for six (6) months after the Plato Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holder of Plato Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for the Plato Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.7(c).

(f) None of Aristotle, Parent, the Merger Subs, Plato 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 Aristotle in accordance with Section 2.2(e)) properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) In the event any Plato Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Plato Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, to the extent customarily required by Parent or Aristotle, the posting by such Person of a bond in reasonable amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Plato Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Plato 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 Agreement had such lost, stolen or destroyed Plato Certificate been surrendered as provided in this Article II.

(h) The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent; provided that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Plato Merger Consideration payable to holders of Plato Common Stock entitled to receive such consideration, including cash in lieu of fractional interests, and Parent shall promptly cause to be provided additional funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of holders of shares of Plato Common Stock entitled to receive such consideration in the amount of any such losses or if for any reason such funds are unavailable for payment to the holders of shares of Plato Common Stock.

(i) Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Plato Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law. Any amount properly deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 2.7(i) shall be treated as having been paid to the holder of Plato Common Stock in respect of which such deduction or withholding was

made. In the case of any amounts properly withheld from any payments not consisting entirely of cash, Parent shall be treated as though it withheld an appropriate amount of Parent Common Stock otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Plato Common Stock, sold such Parent Common Stock for an amount of cash equal to its fair market value at the time of such deemed sale and paid such cash proceeds to the holder of Plato Common Stock in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. Parent shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, all amounts so deducted or withheld to the appropriate taxing authority within the period required under applicable Law.

(j) Each Aristotle Certificate immediately prior to the Aristotle Effective Time shall, from and after the Aristotle Effective Time, represent shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Aristotle Merger Consideration. At the Aristotle Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall exchange by book entry transfer all uncertificated shares of Aristotle Common Stock (excluding any shares of Aristotle Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(a)) for shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Aristotle Merger Consideration; provided, however, that if an exchange of Aristotle Certificates for new certificates is required by Law or applicable rule or regulation, or is desired at any time by Parent, in its sole discretion, Parent shall arrange for such exchange on a one-for-one-share basis. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Aristotle Effective Time, the holders of such Aristotle Certificates which have been exchanged for certificates of Parent Common Stock, as well as those shares of Aristotle Common Stock exchanged by book entry pursuant to this Section 2.7(j), shall be entitled to receive dividends and distributions made with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock.

Section 2.8 Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Times, the officers and directors of Parent, the Aristotle Surviving Corporation or the Plato Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Aristotle Surviving Corporation, Aristotle Merger Sub or Aristotle, or the Plato Surviving Corporation, Plato Merger Sub or Plato, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Aristotle Surviving Corporation, Aristotle Merger Sub or Aristotle, or the Plato Surviving Corporation, Plato Merger Sub or Plato, any other actions and things necessary to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in Parent, the Aristotle Surviving Corporation or the Plato Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by Parent, the Aristotle Surviving Corporation or the Plato Surviving Corporation, as applicable, as a result of, or in connection with, the Transactions, including the Mergers.

Section 2.9 Plato Stock Options and Other Stock-Based Awards.

(a) As of the Plato Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Plato Common Stock (a “Plato Stock Option”) granted under the Plato 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, the Accredo 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Accredo 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Accredo Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plato Stock Plans”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into a stock option (a “Parent Stock Option”) to acquire Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.9. Each such Parent Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be

subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Plato Stock Option immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time (but, taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the Plato Stock Plans, in any award agreement or in such Plato Stock Option by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby). As of the Plato Effective Time, each such Parent Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall be for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Plato Common Stock subject to such Plato Stock Option and (ii) the Stock Award Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per share of Plato Common Stock of such Plato Stock Option by (y) the Stock Award Exchange Ratio; provided, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Parent Stock Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and, in the case of Plato Stock Options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, consistent with the requirements of Section 424 of the Code. For purposes of this Agreement, “Stock Award Exchange Ratio” means the sum of the Exchange Ratio and the Cash Portion Exchange Ratio. The “Cash Portion Exchange Ratio” means the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the Per Share Cash Amount and (2) an amount equal to the average of the closing sale prices of the Aristotle Common Stock on the NASDAQ for each of the fifteen (15) consecutive trading days ending with the fourth (4^th) complete trading day prior to the Closing Date.

(b) As of the Plato Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award granted under the Plato Stock Plans (“Plato RSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time that is not then vested shall be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into a restricted stock unit award (a “Parent RSU”) to acquire Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.9. Each such Parent RSU as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Plato RSU immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time (but, taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the Plato Stock Plans, in any award agreement or in such Plato RSU by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby). As of the Plato Effective Time, each such Parent RSU as so assumed and converted shall be for that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Plato Common Stock underlying to such Plato RSU multiplied by (ii) the Stock Award Exchange Ratio.

(c) As of the Plato Effective Time, each performance stock unit award granted under the Plato Stock Plans (“Plato PSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time, whether or not then vested, shall be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into a performance share unit award (a “Parent PSU”) to acquire Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.9. Each such Parent PSU as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Plato PSU immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time (but, taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the Plato Stock Plans, in any award agreement or in such Plato PSU by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby); provided, that if, after the Plato Effective Time, the Agile program is discontinued or the performance metrics applicable to such Plato PSU otherwise cease to be measurable on the same terms as immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time, then such Plato PSU shall be valued based on target performance, and shall be paid out at the time, and subject to any applicable payment conditions, prescribed by the terms in

effect for such Plato PSU immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time; provided, further, that such Plato PSUs shall be subject to any payment delays required by Section 409A of the Code. As of the Plato Effective Time, each such Parent PSU as so assumed and converted shall be for that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Plato Common Stock underlying to such Plato PSU multiplied by (ii) the Stock Award Exchange Ratio.

(d) As of the Plato Effective Time, each vested Plato RSU that has not been settled and is subject to a deferral election (the “Plato DSUs”), shall be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into the right to acquire Parent Common Stock (a “Parent DSU”), in accordance with this Section 2.9. Each such Parent DSU as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Plato DSU immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time (but, taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the Plato Stock Plans, in any award agreement or in such Plato DSU by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby). As of the Plato Effective Time, each such Parent DSU as so assumed and converted shall be for that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Plato Common Stock subject to such Plato DSU multiplied by (ii) the Stock Award Exchange Ratio.

(e) The right to acquire shares of Plato Common Stock under the Plato Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plato ESPP”) is not a Plato Stock Option for purposes of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, the Plato Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Plato ESPP) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to provide that, with respect to the Plato ESPP: (i) each individual participating in the offering period (as defined in the Plato ESPP) in progress as of, the Closing Date (the “Final Offering”) shall receive notice of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement no later than twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date and shall have an opportunity to terminate his or her outstanding purchase rights under the ESPP; (ii) the Final Offering shall end on no later than the tenth (10^th) Business Day prior to the Closing Date; (iii) each Plato ESPP participant’s accumulated contributions under the ESPP shall be used to purchase shares of Plato Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Plato ESPP as of the end of the Final Offering; (iv) the applicable purchase price for Plato Common Stock as set forth in the Plato ESPP shall not be decreased below the levels set forth in the Plato ESPP as of the date of this Agreement and (v) the Plato ESPP shall terminate immediately following the end of the Final Offering and no further rights shall be granted or exercised under the Plato ESPP thereafter.

(f) Not later than the Closing Date, Aristotle shall, or shall cause Parent to, deliver to the holders of Plato Stock Options, Plato RSUs, Plato PSUs and any Plato DSUs any required notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the relevant Plato Stock Plans and award documents and stating that such Plato Stock Options, Plato RSUs, Plato PSUs and any Plato DSUs have been assumed by Parent and shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 2.9 after giving effect to the Mergers and the terms of the relevant Plato Stock Plans).

(g) Prior to the Plato Effective Time, Plato shall take all necessary action for the adjustment of Plato Stock Options, Plato RSUs, Plato PSUs and any Plato DSUs under this Section 2.9. Aristotle shall, or shall cause Parent to, reserve for future issuance a number of

shares of Parent Common Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that will be subject to Parent Stock Options, Parent RSUs, Parent PSUs and Parent DSUs as a result of the actions contemplated by this Section 2.9. Not later than the Closing Date, Aristotle shall, or shall cause Parent to, file an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or other applicable form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Parent Stock Options, Parent RSUs, Parent PSUs and Parent DSUs shall distribute a prospectus relating to such Form S-8, and Aristotle shall, or shall cause Parent to, use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such Parent Stock Options, Parent RSUs, Parent PSUs and Parent DSUs remain outstanding.

Section 2.10 Aristotle Stock Options and Other Stock-Based Awards.

(a) As of the Aristotle Effective Time, (i) each stock option and stock appreciation right outstanding under any stock option or compensation plan or arrangement of Aristotle (each, an “Aristotle Stock Option” and “Aristotle SAR”, respectively) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Aristotle Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall cease to represent a right to acquire Aristotle Common Stock and shall be converted automatically into Parent Stock Options or Parent Stock Appreciation Rights (each, a “Parent SAR”), as the case may be, on substantially the same terms and conditions including vesting schedule and per share exercise price) as applied to such Aristotle Stock Option or Aristotle SAR immediately prior to the Aristotle Effective Time, (ii) each share of Aristotle restricted stock and each restricted stock unit of Aristotle (“Aristotle Restricted Stock Awards”) that is outstanding under any stock option or compensation plan, agreement or arrangement of Aristotle immediately prior to the Aristotle Effective Time, whether or not then vested, shall cease to represent a share of Aristotle restricted stock or an Aristotle restricted stock unit and shall be converted automatically into a Parent Restricted Stock Award, on substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting schedule) as applied to such Aristotle restricted stock or restricted stock unit immediately prior to the Aristotle Effective Time and (iii) each Aristotle performance share award (“Aristotle Performance Share Award”) shall cease to represent a share of Aristotle Common Stock and shall be converted automatically into a Parent Performance Share Award on substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to such Aristotle performance award immediately prior to the Aristotle Effective Time.

(b) Not later than the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the holders of Aristotle Stock Options, Aristotle SARs, Aristotle Restricted Stock Awards and Aristotle Performance Share Awards any required notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the relevant Aristotle Stock Plans and award documents and stating that such Aristotle Stock Options, Aristotle SARs, Aristotle Restricted Stock Awards and Aristotle Performance Share Awards have been assumed by Parent and shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 2.10 after giving effect to the Mergers and the terms of the relevant Aristotle Stock Plans).

(c) Prior to the Aristotle Effective Time, Aristotle shall take all necessary action for the adjustment of Aristotle Stock Options, Aristotle SARs, Aristotle Restricted Stock Awards and Aristotle Performance Share Awards under this Section 2.10. Parent shall reserve for future issuance a number of shares of Parent Common Stock at least equal to the number of

shares of Parent Common Stock that will be subject to Aristotle Stock Options, Aristotle SARs, Aristotle Restricted Stock Awards and Aristotle Performance Share Awards as a result of the actions contemplated by this Section 2.10. Not later than the Closing Date, Parent shall file an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or other applicable form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Parent Stock Options, Parent SAR, Parent Restricted Stock Awards and Parent Performance Share Awards and shall distribute a prospectus relating to such Form S-8, and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such Parent Stock Options, Parent SAR, Parent Restricted Stock Awards and Parent Performance Share Awards remain outstanding.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PLATO

Except as disclosed in (a) the disclosure letter delivered by Plato to Aristotle and Parent (the “Plato Disclosure Letter”) prior to the execution of this Agreement (with specific reference to the section of this Agreement to which the information stated in such disclosure relates; provided that (i) disclosure in any section of such Plato Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be disclosed with respect to any other section of this Agreement only to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on the face of the Plato Disclosure Letter that such disclosure is applicable to such other section notwithstanding the omission of a reference or cross reference thereto and (ii) the mere inclusion of an item in such Plato Disclosure Letter as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had, would have or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Plato and its Subsidiaries (a “Plato Material Adverse Effect”)) or (b) the Plato SEC Documents filed with the SEC after January 1, 2011 and prior to July 15, 2011, the relevance of such disclosure being reasonably apparent on its face, but excluding (x) any disclosure contained in any such Plato SEC Documents under the heading “Risk Factors” or “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” or similar heading and any other disclosures contained or referenced therein of information, factors or risks that are predictive, cautionary or forward looking; (y) Plato SEC Financial Statements (other than the notes thereto); and (z) all exhibits and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein; provided, however, that the disclosures in the Plato SEC Documents shall not be deemed to qualify any representation or warranties made in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5(b), 3.5(c), 3.5(d), 3.6, 3.20 or 3.21, Plato represents and warrants to Aristotle, Parent, and the Merger Subs as follows:

Section 3.1 Corporate Organization. Each of Plato and its Subsidiaries (as defined below) is a corporation or other entity duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent applicable, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has the requisite corporate or other entity power and authority to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Each of Plato and its Subsidiaries is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified is not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a Plato

Material Adverse Effect. The copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of Plato (the “Plato Charter” and “Plato By-laws”), as most recently filed with the Plato SEC Documents, are true, complete and correct copies of such documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

Section 3.2 Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of Plato consists of 2,000,000,000 shares of Plato Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Plato Preferred Stock,” and together with Plato Common Stock, the “Plato Capital Stock”). As of July 19, 2011, there were (i) 671,151,664 shares of Plato Common Stock and no shares of Plato Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, (ii) 60,139,546 shares of Plato Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plato Stock Plans, including (A) 30,343,734 shares of Plato Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Plato Stock Options (whether or not presently exercisable), (B) 4,471,601 shares of Plato Common Stock issuable upon vesting of outstanding Plato RSUs, (C) 214,100 shares of Plato Common Stock issuable upon vesting of outstanding Plato PSUs, (D) 706,065 shares of Plato Common Stock issuable pursuant to Plato DSUs and (E) 4,490,926 shares of Plato Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options under the Plato ESPP, and (iii) 285,620,728 shares of Plato Common Stock are owned by Plato as treasury stock. Except as set forth above, no shares of capital stock or other equity securities of Plato are issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding, except for shares of capital stock of Plato issued after the date set forth in the previous sentence, pursuant to the exercise of options under the Plato ESPP outstanding as of the date set forth in the previous sentence. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Plato Common Stock have been, and any shares of Plato Common Stock issued upon the exercise of Plato Stock Options or upon the exercise of options under the Plato ESPP, Plato Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise or vesting of any Plato DSUs, or the vesting of any Plato RSUs or Plato PSUs will be, duly authorized and validly issued and are or will be fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. Except as set forth above or in Section 3.2(a) of the Plato Disclosure Letter, as of the Plato Effective Time, there will not be any outstanding securities, options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments, agreements, derivative contracts, forward sale contracts or undertakings of any kind to which Plato or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or by which Plato or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, obligating Plato or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of capital stock or other voting securities of Plato or of any Subsidiary of Plato or obligating Plato or any Subsidiary of Plato to issue, grant, extend or enter into any such security, option, warrant, call, right, commitment, agreement, derivative contract, forward sale contract or undertaking, or obligating Plato to make any payment based on or resulting from the value or price of the Plato Common Stock or of any such security, option, warrant, call, right, commitment, agreement, derivative contract, forward sale contract or undertaking. Except for acquisitions, or deemed acquisitions, of Plato Common Stock or other equity securities of Plato in connection with (i) the payment of the exercise price of Plato Stock Options with Plato Common Stock (including in connection with “net” exercises), (ii) required tax withholding in connection with the exercise of Plato Stock Options, vesting of Plato RSUs and Plato PSUs and vesting, exercise or settlement of Plato DSUs and (iii) forfeitures of Plato Stock Options, Plato RSUs, Plato PSUs and Plato DSUs, there are no outstanding contractual obligations of Plato or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Plato Capital Stock or the capital stock of any of its Subsidiaries, other than pursuant to the Plato Benefit Plans.

There are no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of Plato or any of its Subsidiaries having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which stockholders of Plato may vote.

(b) Plato owns, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each of its Subsidiaries, free and clear of any liens, charges, encumbrances, adverse rights or claims and security interests whatsoever, excluding restrictions imposed by securities laws (“Liens”), except, in the case of any Subsidiary of Plato which is not material to the business of Plato and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Plato Material Adverse Effect, and all of such shares are duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights, except as would not have a material effect on the operation of Plato’s and its Subsidiaries’ businesses. Neither Plato nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any voting Contract with respect to the voting of any of its securities.

(c) Except as set forth on Section 3.2(c) of the Plato Disclosure Letter, neither Plato nor any of its Subsidiaries directly or indirectly owns as of the date of this Agreement 5% or more of the capital stock, membership interests, partnership interests, joint venture interests and other equity interests in, or any interest convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for 5% or more of the equity or similar interests in any Person (other than a Plato Subsidiary).

Section 3.3 Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability; State Takeover Statutes.

(a) Plato has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform and comply with each of its obligations under this Agreement and, subject to the receipt of Plato Stockholder Approval, to consummate the Transactions applicable to Plato, including the Plato Merger. The execution and delivery by Plato of this Agreement, the performance and compliance by Plato with each of its obligations herein and the consummation by Plato of the Transactions applicable to Plato have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Plato, subject, in the case of the Plato Merger, to receipt of the Plato Stockholder Approval. Plato has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Aristotle, Parent and the Merger Subs of this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as limited by Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, by general equitable principles or by the discretion of any Governmental Entity before which any Proceeding seeking enforcement may be brought.

(b) The Board of Directors of Plato (the “Plato Board”), at a meeting duly called and held, unanimously adopted resolutions (i) approving this Agreement and the consummation of the Plato Merger upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, (ii) determining that the terms of the Agreement, the Plato Merger and the other Transactions are fair to, and in the best interests of, Plato and its stockholders, (iii) directing that this Agreement be submitted to the stockholders of Plato for adoption, (iv) recommending that Plato’s stockholders adopt this Agreement (the “Plato Recommendation”) and (v) declaring that this Agreement is advisable. Assuming that on the date of this Agreement neither Aristotle nor any of its “affiliates” or “associates” is an “interested stockholder” of Plato (each term, as

defined in DGCL Section 203), such resolutions are sufficient to render inapplicable to this Agreement and the Plato Merger the restrictions of Section 203 of the DGCL (“Section 203”). No other “business combination,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium” or other anti-takeover Laws (collectively, “Takeover Laws”) apply to this Agreement or the Plato Merger.

(c) Assuming that on the date of this Agreement neither Aristotle nor any of its “affiliates” or “associates” is an “interested stockholder” of Plato (each term, as defined in DGCL Section 203), the only vote of holders of any class or series of Plato Capital Stock necessary to adopt this Agreement and to approve the Plato Merger is the adoption of this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the shares of Plato Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon (the “Plato Stockholder Approval”).

(a) Plato has filed or furnished all reports, schedules, forms, statements, registration statements, prospectuses and other documents required to be filed or furnished by Plato with the SEC under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act since January 1, 2009 (the “Plato SEC Documents”). None of the Plato Subsidiaries or any Plato Affiliate is required to make any filings with the SEC.

(b) As of its respective filing date, and, if amended, as of the date of the last amendment prior to the date of this Agreement, each Plato SEC Document (other than the Plato SEC Financial Statements) complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such Plato SEC Document (other than the Plato SEC Financial Statements) and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) The consolidated financial statements of Plato included in the Plato SEC Documents (including, in each case, any notes or schedules thereto) and all related compilations, reviews and other reports issued by Plato’s accountants with respect thereto (the “Plato SEC Financial Statements”), comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. The Plato SEC Financial Statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition and the results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity of Plato (on a consolidated basis) as of the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in the Plato SEC Financial

Statements, and were prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as otherwise noted therein) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto), subject, in the case of interim Plato SEC Financial Statements, to normal year-end adjustments (which are not material in significance or amount) and the absence of notes. The books and records of Plato and the Plato Subsidiaries are accurate and complete, have been maintained in accordance with sound business practices and accurately present and reflect in all material respects all of the transactions and actions therein described and the Plato SEC Financial Statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with such books and records. At the Closing, all such books and records will be in the possession of Plato or the applicable Plato Subsidiary. No financial statements of any Person other than Plato and the Plato Subsidiaries are required by GAAP to be included in the consolidated financial statements of Plato. Except as required by GAAP, Plato has not, between December 25, 2010 and the date of this Agreement, made or adopted any material change in its accounting methods, practices or policies in effect on December 25, 2010.

(d) Plato is in compliance in all material respects with (i) the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or under the Exchange Act (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and (ii) the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of the NYSE.

(e) Plato has made available to Aristotle true and complete copies of all material written comment letters from the staff of the SEC received since January 1, 2008 relating to the Plato SEC Documents and all written responses of Plato thereto other than with respect to requests for confidential treatment or which are otherwise publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR system. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received from the SEC staff with respect to any Plato SEC Documents and none of the Plato SEC Documents (other than confidential treatment requests) is the subject of ongoing SEC review. There are no internal investigations, any SEC inquiries or investigations or other governmental inquiries or investigations, to the Knowledge of Plato, pending or threatened, in each case regarding any accounting practices of Plato.

(f) Plato has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as such terms are defined in paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, of Rule 13a-15 and paragraph (e) of Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Plato’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that all information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by Plato in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to Plato’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Plato’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of Plato’s disclosure controls and procedures and, to the extent required by applicable Law, presented in any applicable Plato SEC Document that is a report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, or any amendment thereto, its conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by such report or amendment based on such evaluation. Based on Plato’s management’s most recently completed evaluation of Plato’s internal control over financial

reporting, (i) Plato had no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of its internal control over financial reporting that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect Plato’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) Plato does not have Knowledge of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Plato’s internal control over financial reporting.

Plato has previously delivered or made available to Aristotle true, complete and correct copies of the statutory financial statements of each Plato Insurance Company Subsidiary, as filed with the applicable domestic regulators for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and for each subsequent quarterly period, together with all exhibits and schedules thereto (the “Plato Subsidiary SAP Statements”). The Plato Subsidiary SAP Statements fairly present, in all material respects, the respective statutory financial conditions of each of the Plato Insurance Company Subsidiaries at the respective dates thereof, and the statutory results of operations for the periods then ended in accordance with Applicable SAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated and consistent with each other, except as otherwise specifically noted therein.

Since December 25, 2010 through the date of this Agreement, neither Plato nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action that would have constituted a breach of, or required Aristotle’s consent pursuant to, Section 5.1 hereof had the covenants therein applied since December 25, 2010.

Section 3.7 Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Plato for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the SEC by Parent in connection with the Mergers (the “Form S-4”) will, at the time the Form S-4 is filed with the SEC, and at any time it is amended or supplemented or at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (ii) the Joint Proxy Statement will, at the date it or any amendment or supplement is mailed to holders of the shares of Plato Common Stock and Aristotle Common Stock and at the time of the Plato Stockholders Meeting and at the time of the Aristotle Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a

material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading (except that no representation or warranty is made by Plato to such portions thereof that relate expressly to Aristotle, Parent, the Merger Subs or any of their Subsidiaries or to statements made therein based on information supplied by or on behalf of Aristotle, Parent or Merger Subs for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein). The Joint Proxy Statement will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 3.8 Legal Proceedings. There are no Proceedings pending, or to the Knowledge of Plato, threatened against Plato or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets, rights or properties or any of the officers or directors of Plato, except, in each case, for those that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Plato Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.11 Absence of Changes in Benefit Plans. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11 of the Plato Disclosure Letter, from December 25, 2010 to the date of this Agreement, there has not occurred other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or as specifically set forth in Plato’s most recent Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC any (a) increase in the compensation (including bonus opportunities) of any of its directors or executive officers, (b) grant of any severance or termination pay to any of its executive officers, (c) grant of equity awards to any director or executive officer, (d) entry into or amendment of any employment, consulting, change in control, retention or severance agreement or arrangement with any executive officers or (e) establishment, adoption, entry into, freeze or amendment in any respect or termination of any Plato Benefit Plan or any action to accelerate entitlement to material compensation or benefits under any Plato Benefit Plan or otherwise for, in each case, the benefit of any director or executive officer. As used in this Agreement, “Plato Benefit Plan” means any employee benefit plan including any “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and each stock grant, stock purchase, stock option, severance, employment, change-in-control, fringe benefit, loan, bonus, incentive, sabbatical, medical, dental, vision, disability, cafeteria benefit, dependent care, welfare benefit, life insurance or accident insurance, retirement, supplemental retirement, deferred compensation or other compensation or benefit plan, agreement, program, policy or other arrangement, whether or not subject to ERISA, maintained, entered into or contributed to by Plato or any of its ERISA Affiliates, or to which Plato or any of its ERISA Affiliates is a party, whether written or oral, for the benefit of any present or former employee, consultant or director of Plato or any of its Subsidiaries (including their dependents or beneficiaries) or with respect to which Plato or any of its ERISA Affiliates has any liability (contingent or otherwise) ), other than any schemes or arrangements mandated by a government outside of the United States.

Section 3.12 ERISA Compliance; Excess Parachute Payments.

(a) Schedule 3.12(a) of the Plato Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list of each material Plato Benefit Plan (as defined herein). Plato has made available to Aristotle true, complete and correct copies of (i) each material Plato Benefit Plan and all material amendments thereto (or, in the case of any material unwritten Plato Benefit Plan, a description thereof), (ii) with respect to each material Plato Benefit Plan, to the extent applicable, for the two (2) most recent plan years (A) the annual report on Form 5500 and attached schedules and, if applicable (B) actuarial valuation reports, (iii) the most recent summary plan description for each material Plato Benefit Plan (or other written explanation provided to employees in the case of a material Plato Benefit Plan for which such summary plan description

is not required) and (iv) each trust agreement and group annuity contract relating to any material Plato Benefit Plan.

(b) No material liability under Title IV of ERISA has been incurred by Plato or any of its ERISA Affiliates which has not been satisfied in full and no event has occurred and, to the Knowledge of Plato, no condition exists that could reasonably be likely to result in Plato or any of its ERISA Affiliates incurring a material liability under Title IV of ERISA. No Plato Benefit Plan is a defined benefit pension plan or is subject to Section 302 or Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code. No Plato Benefit Plan is a multiemployer plan within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA or a multiple employer welfare arrangement as defined in Section 3(40) or ERISA.

(c) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Plato Material Adverse Effect, each Plato Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and the plan as currently in effect has received a favorable determination or opinion letter to that effect from the Internal Revenue Service and Plato is not aware of any reason why any such determination letter should be revoked or not be reissued. Plato has made available to Aristotle copies of the most recent Internal Revenue Service determination or opinion letters with respect to each such material Plato Benefit Plan. Each Plato Benefit Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules and regulations, including ERISA and the Code, which are applicable to such Plato Benefit Plan with such exceptions as would not be reasonably expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Plato Material Adverse Effect. There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of Plato, threatened Proceedings against any Plato Benefit Plan, any fiduciary thereof, Plato or any Subsidiary that could reasonably be, expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Plato Material Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of Plato, none of Plato, any of its Subsidiaries, any officer of Plato or of any Subsidiary or any of the Plato Benefit Plans which are subject to ERISA, including the Plato Benefit Plans, any trusts created thereunder or any trustee or administrator thereof, has engaged in a “prohibited transaction” (as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or any other breach of fiduciary responsibility that could subject Plato, any Subsidiary or any officer of Plato or of any Subsidiary to any tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed by such Section 4975 of the Code or to any material liability under Section 502(i) or 502(1) of ERISA.

(d) Except in connection with any Non-US Plato Benefit Plan (as defined below), there is no material current or projected liability in respect of post-employment or post-retirement health or medical or life insurance benefits for retired, former or current employees of Plato or its Subsidiaries, except as required to avoid excise tax under Section 4980B of the Code.

(e) With respect to Plato Benefit Plans that are subject to or governed by the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States (the “Non-US Plato Benefit Plans”), except as would not reasonably be, expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Plato Material Adverse Effect, (i) all amounts required to be reserved under each book reserved Non-US Plato Benefit Plan have been so reserved in accordance with GAAP and (ii) each Non-US Plato Benefit Plan required to be registered with a Governmental Entity has been registered, has been maintained in good standing with the appropriate Governmental Entities, has been maintained and

operated in all respects in accordance with its terms and is in compliance with all applicable Laws.

(f) Except as otherwise contemplated under this Agreement or except pursuant to the terms of the Plato Benefit Plans which are publicly filed with the SEC as of the date of this Agreement, neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall, whether alone or in combination with any other event, result in (i) the accelerated vesting or payment of, or any (x) increase in (for any executive officer or director), or (y) material increase in (for any non-executive officer employee), any compensation to any present or former executive officer, director or non-executive officer employee, respectively, of Plato or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) the entitlement of any present or former executive officer or director of Plato or any of its Subsidiaries to severance or termination pay or benefits, or of any present or former non-executive officer employee of Plato or any of its Subsidiaries to material severance or termination pay or benefits. Schedule 3.12(f) of the Plato Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of each of the participants in the Plato 2006 Executive Change in Control Severance Plan and the Plato 2006 Executive Severance Plan.

(g) Plato has delivered to Aristotle a report, prepared by an outside accounting firm based on information provided to such accounting firm by Plato, that sets forth certain amounts payable to the then current executive officers of Plato in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

extent that it is reasonably apparent on the face of the Aristotle Disclosure Letter that such disclosure is applicable to such other section notwithstanding the omission of a reference or cross-reference thereto and (ii) the mere inclusion of an item in such Aristotle Disclosure Letter as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had, would have or would reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect on Aristotle and its Subsidiaries (an “Aristotle Material Adverse Effect”)) or (b) the Aristotle SEC Documents filed with the SEC after January 1, 2011 and prior to July 15, 2011, the relevance of such disclosure being reasonably apparent on its face, but excluding (x) any disclosure contained in any such Aristotle SEC Documents under the heading “Risk Factors” or “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” or similar heading and any other disclosures contained or referenced therein of information, factors or risks that are predictive, cautionary or forward looking, (y) Aristotle SEC Financial Statements (other than the notes thereto) and (z) all exhibits and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein; provided, however, that the disclosures in the Aristotle SEC Documents shall not be deemed to qualify any representation or warranties made in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.21 and 4.22, Aristotle, Parent, and the Merger Subs jointly and severally represent and warrant to Plato as follows:

Each of Aristotle, Parent and the Merger Subs has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Plato of this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as limited by Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, by general equitable principles or by the discretion of any Governmental Entity before which any Proceeding seeking enforcement may be brought. None of Aristotle, Parent or the Merger Subs nor any of their “affiliates” or “associates” is, as of the date of this Agreement, nor at any time during the last three (3) years has been, an “interested stockholder” of Plato as defined in DGCL Section 203.

Recommendation”) and (v) declaring that this Agreement is advisable. Such resolutions are sufficient to render inapplicable to this Agreement and the Aristotle Merger the provisions of Section 203. No other Takeover Laws apply to this Agreement or the Aristotle Merger.

(c) Assuming that on the date of this Agreement neither Plato nor any of its “affiliates” or “associates” is an “interested stockholder” of Aristotle (each term, as defined in DGCL Section 203), the only vote of holders of any class or series of Aristotle Capital Stock necessary to adopt this Agreement is the adoption of this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the shares of Aristotle Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon at the Aristotle Stockholders Meeting (in either case, the “Aristotle Stockholder Approval”). The Aristotle Stockholder Approval is the only vote of the holders of Aristotle Capital Stock necessary to consummate the Transactions.

None of the Aristotle Subsidiaries or any Aristotle Affiliate is required to make any filings with the SEC.

(b) As of its respective filing date, and, if amended, as of the date of the last amendment prior to the date of this Agreement, each Aristotle SEC Document (other than the Aristotle SEC Financial Statements) complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such Aristotle SEC Document (other than the Aristotle SEC Financial Statements) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) The consolidated financial statements of Aristotle included in the Aristotle SEC Documents (including, in each case, any notes or schedules thereto) and all related compilations, reviews and other reports issued by Aristotle’s accountants with respect thereto (the “Aristotle SEC Financial Statements”), comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. The Aristotle SEC Financial Statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition and the results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity of Aristotle (on a consolidated basis) as of the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in the Aristotle SEC Financial Statements, and were prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as otherwise noted therein) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto), subject, in the case of interim Aristotle SEC Financial Statements, to normal year-end adjustments (which are not material in significance or amount) and the absence of notes. The books and records of Aristotle and the Aristotle Subsidiaries are accurate and complete, have been maintained in accordance with sound business practices and accurately present and reflect in all material respects all of the transactions and actions therein described and the Aristotle SEC Financial Statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with such books and records.

Aristotle’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that all information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by Aristotle in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to Aristotle’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Aristotle’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of Aristotle’s disclosure controls and procedures and, to the extent required by applicable Law, presented in any applicable Aristotle SEC Document that is a report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, or any amendment thereto, its conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by such report or amendment based on such evaluation. Based on Aristotle’s management’s most recently completed evaluation of Aristotle’s internal control over financial reporting, (i) Aristotle had no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of its internal control over financial reporting that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect Aristotle’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) Aristotle does not have Knowledge of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Aristotle’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Commitment Letter has not been amended, restated or otherwise modified or waived prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the respective commitments contained in the Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn, rescinded, amended, restated or otherwise modified in any respect prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

There are no conditions precedent

or contingencies (including pursuant to any “flex” provisions) related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing pursuant to the Commitment Letter, other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter, assuming the accuracy of the Plato’s representations and warranties contained in Article III and assuming compliance by Plato in all material respects with its covenants contained in Section 5.1, the net proceeds contemplated from the Financing, together with other financial resources of Aristotle and the Merger Subs, including cash on hand and marketable securities of Aristotle and the Merger Subs, and of Plato and Plato’s Subsidiaries on the Closing Date, will, in the aggregate, be sufficient for the satisfaction of all of Aristotle’s obligations under this Agreement, including the payment of any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Article II and all fees and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in connection herewith. As of the date of this Agreement, (i) (assuming the accuracy of Plato’s representations and warranties contained in Article III hereof) no event has occurred which would constitute a breach or default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) on the part of Aristotle or its Affiliates under the Commitment Letter or, to the Knowledge of Aristotle, any other party to the Commitment Letter, and (ii) subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, Aristotle does not have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing will not be satisfied or that the Financing or any other funds necessary for the satisfaction of all of Aristotle’s and its Affiliates’ obligations under this Agreement and of all fees and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in connection herewith will not be available to Aristotle on the Closing Date. Except for fee letters with respect to fees and related arrangements with respect to the Financing, of which Aristotle has delivered a true, correct and complete copy to Plato prior to the date hereof (other than with respect to fee information, but which fee information do not relate to the amounts or conditionality of, or contain any conditions precedent to, the funding of the Financing), as of the date hereof there are no side letters or other agreements, Contracts or arrangements related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter and delivered to Plato prior to the date hereof.

Except for the financial advisors’ fees set forth in Section 4.21 of the Aristotle Disclosure Letter, neither Aristotle nor any of its officers or directors, nor Parent nor the Merger Subs nor any of their officers, on behalf of Aristotle, Parent, or the Merger Subs, has employed any financial advisor, broker or finder in a manner that would result in any liability of Plato for any broker’s fees, commissions or finder’s fees in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby or that would result in any reduction of the consideration payable to the stockholders of Plato.

Section 4.22 Opinions of Financial Advisors. The Aristotle financial advisors have delivered to the Aristotle Board their respective opinions in writing or orally, in which case, such opinions will be confirmed in writing, to the effect that, as of the date thereof and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein, the Plato Merger Consideration to be issued and paid in the Plato Merger is fair to Aristotle from a financial point of view.

(a) Each of Plato and Aristotle shall immediately cease any discussions or negotiations with any parties that may be ongoing with respect to a Takeover Proposal (as hereinafter defined) and shall seek to have returned to Plato or Aristotle any confidential

information that has been provided in any such discussions or negotiations. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Plato Effective Time or the date of termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII, each of Plato and Aristotle shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its officers, directors or employees or any Affiliate, investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information which has not been previously publicly disseminated), or take any other action designed to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal which constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal, (ii) engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Takeover Proposal; provided, however, that (x) such party may ascertain facts from the party making such Takeover Proposal for the sole purpose of the Plato Board or the Aristotle Board, as applicable, informing itself about the Takeover Proposal and the party that made it and (y) if, prior to obtaining Plato Stockholder Approval (in the case of Plato) or the Aristotle Stockholder Approval (in the case of Aristotle), following the receipt of a Superior Proposal (as hereinafter defined) or a proposal which is reasonably expected to lead to a Superior Proposal that in either case was not, directly or indirectly, solicited, initiated or knowingly encouraged in violation of sub-clause (i) above, the Plato Board or the Aristotle Board, as applicable, determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that a failure to take action with respect to such Takeover Proposal, as applicable, would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to Plato’s stockholders or Aristotle’s stockholders, as applicable, under applicable law, Plato or Aristotle may, in response to such Takeover Proposal, as applicable, and subject to compliance with Section 5.4(c), (A) furnish information with respect to Plato or Aristotle, as applicable, to the party making such Takeover Proposal pursuant to a confidentiality agreement that contains provisions not less favorable to Plato or Aristotle, as the case may be, than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (excluding those provisions added by that certain letter agreement, dated as of July 5, 2011, between Aristotle and Plato) and that in any event does not prohibit or restrain the making of a Takeover Proposal and, with respect to competitively sensitive information, pursuant to a customary “clean-room” arrangement; provided that (1) such confidentiality agreement may not include any provision calling for an exclusive right to negotiate with Plato or Aristotle, as applicable, and (2) Plato advises Aristotle or Aristotle advises Plato, as applicable, of all such nonpublic information delivered to such person substantially concurrently with its delivery to the requesting party), and (B) engage in discussions or negotiations with such party regarding such Takeover Proposal. Each of Plato and Aristotle agrees not to waive or fail to enforce any provision of any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party relating to a potential or actual Takeover Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including Section 5.3 but subject to compliance with this Section 5.4, prior to receipt of the Plato Stockholder Approval, the Plato Board may, or, prior to receipt of the Aristotle Stockholder Approval, the Aristotle Board may, in response to any Takeover Proposal, effect a Plato Adverse Recommendation Change or Aristotle Adverse Recommendation Change, as applicable, and subject to compliance with this Section 5.4(b) and Sections 7.3(h), as applicable, terminate this Agreement in order to enter into a binding agreement providing for a Superior Proposal, if (i) the Plato Board or the Aristotle Board concludes in good

faith, after consultation with Plato’s or Aristotle’s outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; (ii) the Plato Board or the Aristotle Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with Plato’s or Aristotle’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Plato Adverse Recommendation Change or Aristotle Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Plato or Aristotle under applicable Laws; (iii) the board affecting the recommendation change, or seeking to terminate the Agreement as provided above, provides the other party six (6) Business Days prior written notice of its intention to take such action, which notice shall include the information with respect to such Superior Proposal that is specified in Section 5.4(c), as well as a copy of such Takeover Proposal (it being agreed that neither the delivery of such notice by a party hereto nor any public announcement thereof that such party determines that is it required to make under applicable Law shall constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change by such party unless and until such party shall have failed at or prior to the end of the period referred to in (iv) below (and, upon the occurrence of such failure, such notice and such public announcement shall constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change) to publicly announce that it (A) was recommending the Transactions and (B) has determined that such other Takeover Proposal (taking into account in (A) any modifications or adjustments made to the Transactions and agreed to by the parties hereto and in (B) any modifications or adjustments made to such other Takeover Proposal) is not a Superior Proposal and has publicly rejected such Takeover Proposal; (iv) during the six (6) Business Days following such written notice (or such shorter period as is specified below), the board effecting the recommendation change and, if requested by other party, its Representatives have negotiated in good faith with the other party regarding any revisions to the terms of the Transactions proposed by the other party in response to such Superior Proposal; and (v) at the end of the six (6) Business Day period described in the foregoing clause (iv), the Plato Board or Aristotle Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with Plato’s or Aristotle’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors (and taking into account any adjustment or modification of the terms of this Agreement to which the other party has agreed in writing), that the Takeover Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make a Plato Adverse Recommendation Change or Aristotle Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the exercise by the Plato Board or Aristotle Board of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Plato or Aristotle under applicable Laws. Any material amendment or modification to any Superior Proposal will be deemed to be a new Takeover Proposal for purposes of this Section 5.4; provided, however, that the notice period and the period during which the board effecting the recommendation change and its Representatives are required to negotiate in good faith with the other party regarding any revisions to the terms of the Transactions proposed by the other party in response to such new Takeover Proposal pursuant to clause (v) above shall expire on the later to occur of (x) three (3) Business Days after the board effecting the recommendation change provides written notice of such new Takeover Proposal to the other party and (y) the end of the original six (6) Business Day period described in clause (v) above.

(c) In addition to the obligations of Plato and Aristotle set forth in Sections 5.4(a) and 5.4(b) Plato or Aristotle shall promptly, and in any event no later than 24-hours after it receives any Takeover Proposal, advise the other party orally and in writing of any request for confidential information in connection with a Takeover Proposal or of any Takeover Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request or Takeover Proposal and the identity of the person making such request or Takeover Proposal and shall keep the other party promptly advised of all changes to the material terms of any Takeover Proposal. Each of Plato and Aristotle agrees that subject to applicable restrictions under Laws applicable to Plato or Aristotle and their Subsidiaries, it shall, prior to or concurrent with the time it is provided to any third

parties, provide to the other party any non-public information concerning Plato or Aristotle and their Subsidiaries that Plato or Aristotle provided to any third party in connection with any Takeover Proposal which was not previously provided to the other party.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Plato Board or Aristotle Board, in circumstances not involving or relating to a Takeover Proposal, from effecting a Plato Adverse Recommendation Change or Aristotle Adverse Recommendation Change if (and only if) the Plato Board or the Aristotle Board, as applicable concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Plato or Aristotle under applicable Laws.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Aristotle Board or the Plato Board from (i) taking and disclosing to their stockholders of a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any disclosure to their stockholders if the Plato Board or Aristotle Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its duties to the stockholders of Plato or Aristotle under applicable Laws; or (iii) making accurate disclosure to their stockholders of factual information regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of Aristotle or Plato or the fact that a Takeover Proposal has been made, the identity of the party making such proposal or the material terms of such proposal (and such disclosure shall not be deemed to be an Aristotle Adverse Recommendation Change or a Plato Adverse Recommendation Change, as applicable), so long as (A) any such disclosure includes the Aristotle Recommendation or the Plato Recommendation, as applicable, without any modification or qualification thereof or continues the prior recommendation of the Aristotle Board or Plato Board, as the case may be, and (B) does not contain either an express Aristotle Adverse Recommendation Change (without giving effect to clause (ii) of the definition thereof) or an express Plato Adverse Recommendation Change (without giving effect to clause (ii) of the definition thereof), as applicable, or any other statements by or on behalf of the Board of Directors of such party which would reasonably be expected to have the same effect as an Adverse Recommendation Change.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Takeover Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer, or a statement made publicly or to Plato or Aristotle, as the case may be, of an intention to make a proposal or offer, from any Person (other than Plato, Aristotle, Parent and their Subsidiaries) relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 15% or more of the consolidated assets (including equity interests in Subsidiaries) of Plato or Aristotle and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or 15% or more of any class of equity securities of Plato or Aristotle, any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning 15% or more of any class of equity securities of Plato or Aristotle, or any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, extraordinary dividend or self tender offer, liquidation, dissolution, or similar transaction involving Plato or Aristotle or any of their Subsidiaries, other than the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written Takeover Proposal from any Person (other than Plato, Aristotle and their Subsidiaries) providing for the direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 50% or more of the consolidated assets (including equity interests in Subsidiaries) of Plato or Aristotle and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or 50% or more of any class of equity securities or voting power of Plato or Aristotle, any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning 50% or more of any class of equity securities or voting power of Plato or Aristotle, or any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Plato or Aristotle or any of their Subsidiaries (other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for which the third party has demonstrated that the financing for such offer is fully committed or is reasonably likely to be obtained, in each case as determined by the Plato Board or the Aristotle Board in its good faith judgment (after receiving the advice of independent financial advisors and outside counsel) and which the Plato Board or Aristotle Board, as applicable, has determined in its good faith judgment is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, and, if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to its stockholders from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.5 Publicity. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release reasonably acceptable to Aristotle and Plato. Thereafter, Aristotle (unless the Aristotle Board has made an Aristotle Adverse Recommendation Change) and Plato (unless the Plato Board has made a Plato Adverse Recommendation Change) will use their respective reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party before (a) participating in any media interviews, (b) engaging in meetings or calls with analysts, institutional investors or other similar Persons and (c) providing any statements which are public or are reasonably likely to become public, in any such case to the extent relating to the Transactions (a “Public Statement”). In addition, unless the Aristotle Board has made an Aristotle Adverse Recommendation Change or the Plato Board has made a Plato Adverse Recommendation Change, Aristotle and Plato agree to cause their respective directors and executives officers to refrain from taking any position in any such Public Statement that is (x) contrary to the positions previously taken by Plato and Aristotle with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers, or (y) reasonably likely to have a significant, adverse impact on the ability of the parties hereto to consummate the Transactions.

Section 5.6 Notification of Certain Matters. Either party shall give prompt notice to the other party if any of the following occur after the date of this Agreement: (i) receipt of any notice or other communication in writing from any Person alleging that the consent or approval of such third party is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) receipt of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity, the NYSE or NASDAQ (or any other securities market) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) such party becoming aware of the occurrence of an event that could materially prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions or that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the Mergers set forth in Article VI not being satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies of Plato, Aristotle, Parent or the Merger Subs

available hereunder and no information delivered pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall update any section of the Plato Disclosure Letter or the Aristotle Disclosure Letter.

Section 5.7 Access to Information.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, each party shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other Representatives of the other party, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Times, reasonable access (including for the purpose of coordinating transition planning with employees, but not for purposes of conducting environmental site assessments) to all its and its Subsidiaries’ properties, books, contracts, commitments and records, and to its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other Representatives and, during such period, each party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, promptly make available to the other party, subject, in the case of competitively sensitive information, to any customary “clean-room” arrangements agreed between the parties, (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal securities laws and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as the other party may reasonably request.

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

(c) This Section 5.7 shall not require either party or any of its Subsidiaries to permit any access, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable, good faith judgment (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel) of such party would reasonably be expected to result in (i) any violation of any material contract or Law to which such party is a party or is subject or cause any privilege (including attorney-client privilege) which such party or any of its Subsidiaries would be entitled to assert to be undermined with respect to such information and such undermining of such privilege could in such party’s good faith judgment (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel) adversely affect in any material respect such party’s position in any pending or, what such party believes in good faith (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel) could be, future litigation or (ii) if such party or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the other party or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, are adverse parties in a litigation, such information being reasonably pertinent thereto; provided, that, in the cases of clause (i), the parties hereto shall cooperate in seeking to find a way to allow disclosure of such information to the extent doing so (1) would not (in the good faith belief of the disclosing party (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel)) reasonably be likely to result in the violation of any such material contract or Law or reasonably be likely to cause such privilege to be undermined with respect to such information or (2) could reasonably (in the good faith belief of the disclosing party (after consultation with counsel which may be in-house counsel)) be managed through the use of customary “clean-room” arrangements pursuant to which non-employee Representatives of the non-disclosing party shall be provided access to such information; provided, further, that the disclosing party shall (x) notify the other party that such disclosures are reasonably likely to violate the disclosing party’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under any such material contract or

Law or are reasonably likely to cause such privilege to be undermined, (y) communicate to the other party in reasonable detail (A) the facts giving rise to such notification and (B) the subject matter of such information (to the extent it is able to do so in accordance with the foregoing proviso) and (z) in the case where such disclosures are reasonably likely to violate such disclosing party’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under any material contract, use reasonable commercial efforts to seek consent from the applicable third party to any such material contract with respect to the disclosures prohibited thereby (to the extent not otherwise expressly prohibited by the terms of such contract).

(d) The information provided pursuant to Section 5.7 shall be used solely for the purpose of the Transactions contemplated hereby, and unless and until the Mergers are consummated, such information shall be kept confidential by the recipient thereof in accordance with, and shall otherwise abide by and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement, except that the information provided pursuant to Section 5.7 or portions thereof may be disclosed to affiliates’ directors, officers, members, employees, agents, Financing Sources and advisors of Aristotle or Plato (collectively, the “Representatives”) who (i) need to know such information for the purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) shall be advised by Aristotle or Plato, as the case may be, of this provision, (iii) agree to hold the information provided pursuant to Section 5.7 as confidential and (iv) agree with Aristotle or Plato to be bound by the provisions hereof. If this Agreement is terminated, Aristotle and Plato shall and shall cause each of their Representatives to, return or destroy (and certify destruction of) all information provided pursuant to Section 5.7.

Section 5.8 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Aristotle, Parent and Plato shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use reasonable best efforts (i) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements which may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Mergers and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof, to consummate the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Mergers, as promptly as practicable and (ii) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and any other third party which is required to be obtained by Plato, Parent or Aristotle or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Mergers and the other Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to comply with the terms and conditions of any such consent, authorization, order or approval.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Aristotle, Parent and Plato shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Transactions contemplated hereby, including using reasonable best efforts to lift or rescind any injunction or restraining order or other order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and using reasonable best efforts to defend any litigation seeking to enjoin, prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby or seeking material damages.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, (i) 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 as promptly as practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the date hereof, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, and to supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions consistent with this Section 5.8 necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act (including any extensions thereof) as soon as practicable and (ii) each of Plato and Aristotle shall each use its reasonable best efforts to (x) take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar Law is or becomes applicable to any of the Transactions and (y) if any state takeover statute or similar Law becomes applicable to any of the Transactions, take all action reasonable to enable the Transactions to be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise minimize the effect of such Law on the Transactions.

(d) Each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Entity relating to the Transactions, including any governmental inquiry, investigation or proceeding initiated by a private party, and (ii) keep the other party informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity and of any communication received or given by a private party in connection with any governmental inquiry, investigation or proceeding, in each case regarding any of the Transactions. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, Aristotle or Parent shall have the right to direct all matters with any Governmental Entity consistent with its obligations hereunder; provided that each of the parties hereto shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult the other on, all the information relating to the other parties and their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with any governmental inquiry, investigation or proceeding with respect to the Transactions. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, each party shall have the right to attend or be promptly and fully informed following material conferences and meetings between the other party and regulators concerning the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Aristotle, after prior consultation with Plato to the extent practicable, shall have the principal responsibility for devising and implementing the strategy for obtaining any necessary antitrust or competition clearances, including in connection with the determination of any Regulatory Actions, and shall take the lead in all meetings and communications with any Governmental Entity in connection with obtaining any necessary antitrust or competition clearances. Aristotle and Plato may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 5.8(d) as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of

the materials (Plato or Aristotle, as the case may be) or its legal counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.8(d), materials provided to the other party or its outside counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation, pricing and other competitively sensitive terms from an antitrust perspective in the Contracts of Plato, Aristotle and their respective Subsidiaries.

(e) Notwithstanding Sections 5.8(a), 5.8(b) 5.8(c) and 5.8(d) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Aristotle or Parent or their Subsidiaries or Affiliates be required to agree to (nor shall Plato and its Subsidiaries be permitted to agree unless Aristotle so directs them (and they shall, if Aristotle so directs, agree to, so long as such agreements are conditioned upon the Closing)) (i) divest, license, hold separate or otherwise dispose of, or allow a third party to utilize, any portion of its or their respective businesses, assets or Contracts or (ii) take any other action that may be required or requested by any Governmental Entity in connection with obtaining the consents, authorizations, orders or approvals contemplated by this Section 5.8 that would have an adverse impact, in any material respect, on the business of Aristotle, Parent, Plato or their respective Subsidiaries (each a “Regulatory Action”); provided, however, that, Aristotle shall agree, consistent with the terms hereof, conditioned on the Closing, to the extent necessary to ensure satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1(c), 6.1(e) and 6.2(d) on or prior to the Outside Date (as the same may be extended) to (1) the divestiture or disposition of one mail order dispensing facility of Aristotle, Plato or any of their respective Subsidiaries, provided it shall not be the Aristotle facility located in St. Louis, Missouri, (2) the divestiture or disposition of property, plant and equipment associated with specialty pharmacy dispensing or infusion facilities of Aristotle, Plato or any of their respective Subsidiaries having a net book value not in excess of $30 million in the aggregate, provided it shall not include any property, plant or equipment at the Aristotle facility located in Indianapolis, Indiana, (3) the divestiture, disposition, termination, expiration, assignment, delegation, novation or transfer of Contracts of Aristotle, Plato or their respective Subsidiaries which generated, collectively, EBITDA not in excess of $115 million during the most recently available twelve (12) calendar month period ending on the applicable date of such agreement relating to such divestiture, disposition, termination, expiration, assignment, delegation, novation or transfer; provided, however, with respect to this subclause (3), in no event shall, in the case of pharmacy benefits management customer Contracts of Aristotle, Plato or their respective Subsidiaries, the aggregate annual number of adjusted prescription drug claims subject to the foregoing obligation exceed 35 million (where “adjusted prescription drug claims” means (x) retail prescription drug claims, plus the product of (y)(i) mail prescription drug claims multiplied by (ii) three (3), such calculation to be performed using claims made during the preceding twelve (12) calendar month period); provided, further, as between Aristotle and Plato, the determination of how any of the actions specified in (1)-(3) above will be implemented shall be made by Aristotle. For purposes of this Section 5.8, “EBITDA” means EBITDA as calculated by Aristotle in a manner consistent with the methodology utilized in the earnings releases Aristotle has publicly filed with SEC.

Section 5.9 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall (and shall cause Plato and Aristotle to) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law (and shall advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under

applicable law, provided the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder), each present and former director and officer of Plato, Aristotle and their respective Subsidiaries and each of their employees who serves as a fiduciary of a Plato Benefit Plan or Aristotle Benefit Plan, as the case may be, (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, settlements, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Times, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Parent agrees 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 Times (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby) now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of Aristotle or Plato or any of their respective Subsidiaries and each of their respective employees who serves as a fiduciary of a Plato Benefit Plan or an Aristotle Benefit Plan as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents shall survive the Mergers 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 Times, Parent shall cause Aristotle and Plato to, and the Aristotle Surviving Corporation and Plato Surviving Corporation shall, maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the applicable party’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or similar organization documents in effect as of the date of this Agreement or in any Contract of the applicable party or its respective Subsidiaries 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 Times were current or former directors, officers or employees of Aristotle or Plato or their respective Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses in respect of any Proceeding pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Proceeding.

(c) In the event that either Parent or the applicable Surviving Corporation or any of its 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 of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each case, Parent shall, and shall cause the applicable Surviving Corporation to, cause proper provision to be made so that such successor or assign shall expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

(d) Prior to the Plato Effective Time, Plato may obtain and fully pay for “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of no more than six (6) years from and after the Plato Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as Plato’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance with benefits and levels of coverage not materially more favorable than Plato’s

existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Plato Effective Time (including with respect to acts and omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby) and, if such policies have been obtained, Parent shall, and shall cause the Plato Surviving Corporation to maintain such policies in full force and effect after the Plato Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent, Plato or Plato Surviving Corporation expend for such “tail” policies a premium amount greater than the product of the cost of the annual premium of Plato’s policy in existence as of the date of this Agreement multipled by the number of years covered by such “tail” policy. Parent shall cause each of the Aristotle Surviving Corporation and if, as of the Plato Effective Time, Plato shall not have obtained the “tail” policies described in the previous sentence, the Plato Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, to provide the current and former directors and officers of Plato and Aristotle with an insurance and indemnification policy (from an insurance carrier or insurance carriers with the same or better credit rating as the current insurers) that provides directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance for events, acts and omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Times for an aggregate period of no less than six (6) years from the Effective Times that is not materially less favorable than each party’s existing policy or, if such coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent or Plato Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies an annual premium amount greater than 300% of Plato’s policy in existence as of the date of this Agreement.

(e) The provisions of this Section 5.9 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such individual may have under the applicable party’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or similar organization documents in effect as of the date of this Agreement or in any Contract of the applicable party or its respective Subsidiaries in effect as of the date of this Agreement. The obligations of Parent and Plato under this Section 5.9 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.9 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.9 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.9).

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to Aristotle or Plato or any of their respective Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.9 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

Section 5.10 Control of Operations. Without limiting Section 5.1, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement that may be deemed to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall, directly or indirectly, give any party control over any other party’s operations, business or decision-making before the Effective Times, and control over all such matters shall remain in the hands of the relevant party, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 5.11 Financing.

(a) Parent’s, Aristotle’s and Merger Sub’s obligations hereunder are not subject to any conditions regarding Parent’s, Aristotle’s, Merger Sub’s or any other person’s ability to finance, or obtain financing for, the Transactions; provided that the foregoing shall not otherwise limit the provisions of Sections 6.1 or 6.2. When otherwise obligated to consummate the Transactions in accordance with Section 1.3, Parent, Aristotle and the Merger Subs shall have sufficient funds available to, and shall, satisfy all of their respective obligations under this Agreement, including payment of any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Article II and all fees and expenses incurred in connection herewith.

(b) Unless, and to the extent, Aristotle, Parent or the Merger Subs have sufficient cash from other sources (including by reason of a capital market or other financing transaction) available to satisfy their obligations under this Agreement, from and after the execution of this Agreement, Aristotle, Parent and the Merger Subs shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to arrange the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter and shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, any replacement of all or any portion of any facilities (or commitments thereof) described in, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Commitment Letter, if such amendment, modification, replacement or waiver (i) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount except by operation of the “market flex” provisions) or (ii) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the receipt of any portion of the Financing in a manner that would or would reasonably be expected to (A) delay or prevent the Closing or the Closing Date or (B) make the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing) materially less likely to occur or (C) adversely impact the ability of Aristotle, Parent or the Merger Subs, as applicable, to enforce their rights against other parties to the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements, in any material respect, including any right to seek specific performance of the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements. Subject to the limitations set out in the first sentence of this Section 5.11(b), Aristotle, Parent and the Merger Subs may amend, supplement, modify or replace the Commitment Letter as in effect at the date hereof (x) to add or replace lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement, (y) to increase the amount of indebtedness and (z) to replace all or a portion of the facility committed under the Commitment Letter as in effect as of the date hereof with one or more new facilities under such Commitment Letter or under any new commitment letter or facility (any such new commitment or facility, a “Replacement Facility”) in a manner not materially less beneficial to Aristotle, Parent and the Merger Subs (as determined in the reasonable judgment of Aristotle), provided that any amendments, modifications or replacements of any Replacement Facility shall be subject to the same limitations that apply to the Commitment Letter as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.11(b). For purposes of this Agreement, (1) the term “Financing” shall be deemed to include the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter as permitted to be amended, modified

or replaced pursuant to this Section 5.11 (including any Replacement Facility, any Alternative Financing and, in the case of Section 5.11(f), any offering of debt or equity securities the proceeds of which are intended to be used to satisfy the obligations under this Agreement), and (2) the term “Commitment Letter” shall be deemed to include the Commitment Letter as may be permitted to be amended, modified or replaced pursuant to this Section 5.11, any Replacement Facility, and any commitment letters with respect to the Alternative Financing and any related fee letters (it being understood that any Replacement Facility or Alternative Financing shall be subject to the terms herein that apply to Commitment Letter.

(c) Unless, and to the extent, Aristotle, Parent or the Merger Subs have sufficient cash from other sources (including by reason of a capital market or other financing transaction) available to satisfy their obligations under this Agreement, each of Aristotle, Parent or the Merger Subs shall use their reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter pursuant to its terms (except for amendments not prohibited by Section 5.11(b)) until the Transactions are consummated, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing on the terms and conditions (including any applicable “market flex” provisions) contained in the Commitment Letter (“Definitive Agreements”) or on other terms not materially less favorable to Aristotle, Parent and the Merger Subs, in the aggregate, than the terms and conditions (including any applicable “market flex” provisions) contained in the Commitment Letter, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain the waiver of) all conditions to funding in the Commitment Letter that are within its control and consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter at or prior to the Closing, (iv) subject to Section 8.12, enforce their rights under the Commitment Letter in the event of a breach or other failure to fund the Financing required to consummate the Transactions on the Closing Date by the lenders and other Persons providing Financing, and (v) comply in all material respects with its covenants and other obligations under the Commitment Letter (or obtain the waiver thereof).

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Aristotle, Parent and the Merger Subs shall give Plato reasonably prompt notice: (i) of any material breach or default by any party to the Commitment Letter or definitive document related to the Financing of which they become aware; (ii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing Source with respect to any breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Financing of any provisions of the Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Financing and (iii) if for any reason Aristotle, Parent or the Merger Subs believe in good faith that they will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing required to consummate the Transactions. Aristotle, Parent and Merger Subs shall use their reasonable best efforts to complete the Financing to the extent necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on the Closing Date.

(e) Unless, and to the extent, Aristotle, Parent or the Merger Subs have sufficient cash from other sources (including by reason of a capital market or other financing transaction) available to satisfy their obligations under this Agreement, in the event any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Commitment Letter, Aristotle, Parent and the Merger Subs shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable, arrange alternative debt financing from the same or alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions, including the Mergers (the “Alternative Financing”) following the occurrence of such event; provided however, that Aristotle shall not be required to obtain financing which includes terms and conditions materially less favorable (taking into account any “market flex” provision) to Aristotle, Parent

and the Merger Subs, in each case relative to those in the Financing being replaced. Aristotle shall promptly notify Plato of the receipt of any written notice from any lender named in the Commitment Letter to withdraw, terminate or reduce the aggregate amount of Financing contemplated by, the Commitment Letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Section 5.11(e) or any other provision of this Agreement shall release Parent, Aristotle, or the Merger Subsidiaries from their obligations pursuant to Sections 5.11(a).

(f) Plato shall, shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their Representatives to provide, on a timely basis, all reasonable cooperation requested by Aristotle in connection with (X) the arrangement of Financing to be incurred in connection with the Transactions and (Y) Refinancing Transactions, including, in the case of both (X) and (Y), (i) promptly providing the Financing Sources and/or Refinancing Sources and their respective agents with all financial information regarding Plato and its Subsidiaries required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of Exhibit B of the Commitment Letter or other information as may be reasonably requested by Aristotle, the Financing Sources or Refinancing Sources or their respective agents to prepare customary bank information memoranda, lender presentations, offering memoranda, private placement memoranda (including under Rule 144A under the Securities Act), registration statements and prospectuses under the Securities Act in connection with such Financing and/or Refinancing Transaction; (ii) participating (including by making members of senior management with appropriate seniority and expertise available to participate) in a reasonable number of meetings, due diligence sessions, presentations, “road shows”, drafting sessions and sessions with the rating agencies in connection with the Financing and Refinancing Transactions; (iii) reasonably cooperating with the Financing Sources’ and/or Refinancing Sources’ and their respective agents’ due diligence, to the extent not unreasonably interfering with the business of Plato, including access to documentation reasonably requested by persons in connection with capital markets transactions; (iv) reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts for any portion of the Financing and Refinancing Transactions, including using its reasonable best efforts to ensure that any syndication effort benefits from any existing banking relationship; (v) reasonably cooperating with Aristotle’s preparation of bank information memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents, rating agency presentations, road show presentations and written offering materials used to complete such Financing or Refinancing Transaction, to the extent information contained therein relates to the business of Plato and its Subsidiaries; (vi) using reasonable best efforts to cause its certified independent auditors to provide (A) consent to SEC filings and offering memoranda that include or incorporate Plato’s consolidated financial information (with such changes as Plato and its auditors deem necessary or appropriate) and their reports thereon, in each case, to the extent such consent is required, auditors reports and comfort letters with respect to financial information relating to Plato and its Subsidiaries in customary form and (B) other documentation (including reasonable assistance in the preparation of pro forma financial statements by Parent and/or Aristotle, to the extent such other documentation is required); provided that it is understood that assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments to be made are the responsibility of Parent and/or Aristotle; (vii) providing customary certificates, legal opinions of internal counsel or other customary closing documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent and/or Aristotle or their respective Financing Sources or Refinancing Sources (viii) entering into one or more credit or other agreements on terms satisfactory to Aristotle in connection with the Financing immediately prior to (but not effective until) the Effective Times; (ix) taking all actions reasonably necessary in connection with the pay off of

existing indebtedness of Plato and its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date and the release of related Liens on the Closing Date (including any necessary prepayment of Plato’s existing indebtedness), in each case of clauses (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x), conditional upon the actual occurrence of the Closing; and (x) executing and delivering any pledge and security documents or other definitive financing documents reasonably requested by Parent and/or Aristotle or their respective Financing Sources; provided, however, that no obligation of Plato or any of its Subsidiaries under any such agreement or instrument shall be effective until the Effective Time and, none of Plato or any of its Subsidiaries shall be responsible for any cost, commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with the Financing or any Refinancing Transaction prior to the Effective Time. All non-public or other confidential information provided by Plato or any of its Representatives pursuant to this Section 5.11 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Aristotle and Parent shall be permitted to disclose such information to potential financing sources and to rating agencies during the syndication and marketing of the Financing or Refinancing Transactions subject to customary confidentiality undertakings by such potential financing sources. Aristotle and Parent shall promptly indemnify and hold harmless Plato, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the claims asserted by Financing Sources or Refinancing Sources in connection with the arrangement of the Financing or Refinancing Transactions and any information used in connection therewith (other than information relating to Plato or its Subsidiaries provided to Aristotle in writing on or behalf of Plato, its Subsidiaries or its and their Representatives expressly for use in connection with the Financing or Refinancing Transactions); the foregoing indemnification shall survive termination of this Agreement. For purposes of Section 6.2(b), but not Section 7.2, the obligations of Plato as set forth in the foregoing Section 5.11(f)(vi)(A) shall be deemed to exclude the phrase “using reasonable best efforts”.

Section 5.12 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) For a period beginning at the Plato Effective Time and continuing through December 31, 2012, Aristotle shall provide, or shall cause Parent to provide, (i) to each employee of Plato and its Subsidiaries (each such employee, a “Covered Employee”), base salary, target bonus opportunities and long-term incentive opportunities (including the 2012 bonuses paid and long-term incentives granted in 2013) that are, in each case, no less than the base salary, target bonus opportunities and long-term incentive opportunities (other than opportunities under an employee stock purchase plan) applicable to each such Covered Employee immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time and (ii) employee benefits (other than severance benefits and benefits under an employee stock purchase plan) that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the employee benefits provided to Covered Employees immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time. For a period beginning at the Plato Effective Time and continuing through the first anniversary thereof, Aristotle shall, or shall cause Parent to, provide severance benefits to each Covered Employee that are equal to the severance benefits provided to Covered Employees under Plato Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time.

(b) Following the Effective Times, Parent shall, or shall cause Aristotle and its Affiliates and any successors thereto to, assume, honor, fulfill and discharge Plato’s and its

Subsidiaries’ obligations under the agreements listed on Schedule 5.12(b) of the Plato Disclosure Letter as set forth thereon.

(c) As of the Effective Times, Parent shall cause its and Aristotle’s and Plato’s third party insurance providers or third party administrators to waive all limitations as to any pre-existing condition or waiting periods in its applicable welfare plans with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Covered Employees under any welfare plans that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Effective Times, other than limitations or waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to such employees and that have not been satisfied as of the Effective Times under any comparable employee benefit plan. In addition, while giving effect to Section 5.12(a) and 5.12(b), as of the Effective Times, the Covered Employees shall be eligible to participate in the Aristotle Employee Stock Purchase Plan on the same terms and conditions as similarly situated employees of Parent, Aristotle and their respective Affiliates, and Parent shall, and shall cause Aristotle and Plato to, give Covered Employees full credit for purposes of eligibility, vesting and level of benefits (including for purposes of paid-time off, severance and short-term disability benefits, but not for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan) under any employee benefit and compensation plans or arrangements maintained by Parent or any of its Affiliates for such Covered Employees’ service with Aristotle, Plato or any of their respective Affiliates to the same extent that such service was credited for purposes of any comparable employee benefit plan immediately prior to the Effective Times and in no event shall service prior to the Effective Times be required to be taken into account if such service credit would result in the duplication of benefits with respect to the same period.

(d) Plato shall be permitted to (1) finally and conclusively determine, in good faith, the amounts earned, based on maximum funding, under the Plato Annual Incentive Plan and Plato Executive Annual Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Bonus Plans”) in respect of the 2011 fiscal year, and pay such bonus amounts in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, but no later than the Closing Date and (2) upon notice to and in consultation with Aristotle, establish annual bonus targets, maximums and performance award levels, performance measures and eligibility and participation requirements for the 2012 fiscal year under the Bonus Plans, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. If the Closing Date occurs on or after January 1, 2012, upon notice to and in consultation with Aristotle, (x) Plato shall be permitted to fully fund 2012 incentive pools under the Bonus Plans based on the most recent forecast available at that time, pro rata for the portion of the year (based on calendar days) elapsed between January 1, 2012 and the Closing Date and (y) pay out such 2012 bonus amounts to eligible employees upon the Closing Date. For the balance of the 2012 calendar year following the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause Aristotle or its Affiliates to, provide bonus opportunities under a new program, based on the eligibility and participation requirements in effect under the Bonus Plans immediately prior to the Plato Effective Time, based on performance metrics and funding to be determined by Parent.

(e) Parent hereby acknowledges that a “change in control”, “change of control” or term of similar import within the meaning of each Plato Benefit Plan will occur upon the Plato Effective Time.

(f) At Aristotle’s request, Plato shall provide periodic updates with respect to the negotiation, execution, adoption, amendment or termination of any collective bargaining Contract.

(g) No provision of this Section 5.12 shall be construed as a limitation on the right of Parent, or to cause Aristotle, Plato and their respective Affiliates to, amend or terminate any specific Plato Benefit Plan or Aristotle Benefit Plan that Plato or Aristotle would otherwise have under the terms of such Plato Benefit Plan or Aristotle Benefit Plan, or shall any provision of this Section 5.12 be construed to require the continuation of the employment of any particular Covered Employee. The provisions of this Section 5.12 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former director, officer, employee or independent contractor or any other person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 5.12 of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Plato Benefit Plan or Aristotle Benefit Plan or other compensation or benefit plan or arrangement for any purpose.

Section 5.13 Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Effective Times any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest Parent with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any of the parties to the Mergers, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Aristotle.

Section 5.14 Stock Exchange Listing. Parent and Aristotle shall use their reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Mergers and shares of Parent Common Stock to be reserved upon exercise of options to purchase Parent Common Stock to be listed on NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the respective Effective Times.

Section 5.15 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Times, Aristotle and Plato shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Aristotle Common Stock or Plato Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Aristotle Common Stock or Plato Common Stock) or acquisitions of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Parent Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Aristotle and Plato or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to Parent, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(iv) prior to the receipt of the Plato Stockholder Approval, so that Plato may enter into a definitive agreement providing for a Superior Proposal.

Section 8.6 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto and the documents and the instruments referred to herein), the Confidentiality Agreement and any agreements entered into contemporaneously herewith: (a) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof (although any provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement conflicting with this Agreement shall be governed by this Agreement), and (b) except for (i) as provided in Section 5.9 and (ii) solely with respect to the Financing Sources, Sections 7.3(j), 8.12(b) and 8.13, are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies.

Section 5.9 is intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnified Parties. Sections 7.3(j), 8.12(b) and 8.13 are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Financing Sources. The Letter Agreement between Aristotle and Plato, dated July 5, 2011, and all obligations thereunder (other than the restrictions set forth therein with respect to acquisition of the beneficial ownership of securities of a party thereto and the provisions relating to the termination of restrictions set forth therein, all of which shall continue in effect) shall abate and be of no effect unless and until this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms (such period, the “Abatement Period”), in which event, the terms of such Letter Agreement shall only apply with respect to actions taken from and after such termination; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any proposal, including a Takeover Proposal, tender offer or exchange offer that was made during the Abatement Period by any party hereto shall automatically be withdrawn at the conclusion of the Abatement Period unless the other party hereto otherwise consents.

contemplated hereby, taken as a whole, are not affected in a manner materially adverse to any party hereto.

Section 8.8 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof (and, more specifically, that irreparable damage would likewise occur if the Mergers were not consummated and the affected party’s stockholders did not receive the aggregate Merger Consideration payable to them in accordance with the terms but subject to the conditions of this Agreement), and, accordingly, that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the obligation of Aristotle, Parent and the Merger Subs to consummate the Mergers, the obligation of Plato to consummate the Plato Merger and the obligation of Aristotle, Parent and Merger Subs to pay, and the affected party’s stockholders’ right to receive, the aggregate Merger Consideration payable to them pursuant to the Mergers, subject in each case to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall Aristotle be required to litigate against its Financing Sources; provided, however, that the parties further acknowledge and agree that this provision and the agreements set forth in subsections (b) through (e) of Section 5.11 shall not be interpreted or applied in such a way as to eliminate or otherwise mitigate the obligations of Parent, Aristotle or the Merger Subs to satisfy their respective obligations to fund the Transactions.

Section 8.9 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that each of the Merger Subs may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to any entity that is wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by Aristotle; provided, that, no such assignment shall be permitted hereunder if such assignment would reasonably be expected to (i) materially prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions or (ii) result in any of the conditions to the Mergers set forth in Article VI not being satisfied. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on the date and at the time fixed from time to time by the board of directors (the “Board”), provided, that each successive annual meeting shall be held on the fourth Wednesday in May of each year if not a legal holiday, and if a legal holiday then on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday, or on such other date or time and at such place as may be determined from time to time by resolutions adopted by the Board.

1.2 Special Meetings. (a) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock under the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the corporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the chairman of the Board or the chief executive officer or by resolution of the Board, or, solely to the extent required by Section 1.2(b), by the secretary of the corporation.

(b) (i) A special meeting of stockholders shall be called by the secretary upon the written request or requests (each, a “Special Meeting Request” and collectively, the “Special Meeting Requests”) of the holders of record representing not less than thirty-five percent (35%) of the voting power of all capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter or matters to be brought before the proposed special meeting (the “Requisite Percent”), subject to this Section 1.2(b) and all other applicable sections of these Bylaws (a “Stockholder Requested Special Meeting”). The secretary shall determine in good faith whether all requirements set forth in these Bylaws relating to a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting have been satisfied and such determination shall be binding on the corporation and its stockholders. For purposes of this Section 1.2(b) and for determining the Requisite Percent, a stockholder of record or a beneficial owner, as the case may be, shall be deemed to own the shares of capital stock of the corporation that such stockholder or, if such stockholder is a nominee, custodian or other agent that is holding the shares on behalf of another person (the “beneficial owner”), that the beneficial owner would be deemed to own pursuant to Rule 200(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), excluding any shares as to which such stockholder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, does not have the right to vote or direct the vote at the special meeting or as to which such stockholder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, has entered into a derivative or other agreement, arrangement or understanding that hedges or transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such shares. Whether shares are owned for these purposes shall be decided by the secretary in its good faith.

(ii) A Special Meeting Request shall be delivered by registered U.S. mail, return receipt requested or courier service, postage prepaid, to the attention of the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation. To be valid, a Special Meeting Request or Special

Meeting Requests must be signed and dated by stockholders (or their duly authorized agents) representing the Requisite Percent and shall include:

(1) a statement of the specific purpose(s) of the special meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, and the reasons for conducting such business at the special meeting;

(2) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws of the corporation, the language of the proposed amendment);

(3) as to the stockholders requesting the special meeting and the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request(s) are being made, the Proposing Stockholder Information as defined in Section 1.13(b) of these Bylaws required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice required by Section 1.11(b) and 1.12(b) of these Bylaws, as applicable;

(4) in the case of any director nominations proposed to be presented at the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting, such other information regarding the nominees required to be provided pursuant to Section 1.11(a) of these Bylaws and required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice required by Section 1.11(b) of these Bylaws (including, but not limited to, such other information required to be set forth in connection with a stockholder’s director nomination);

(6) documentary evidence that the stockholders requesting the special meeting own the Requisite Percent as of the date on which the Special Meeting Request(s) are delivered to the secretary; provided, however, that if the stockholders of record making the request are not the beneficial owners of the shares representing the Requisite Percent, then to be valid, the Special Meeting Request(s) must also include documentary evidence (or, if not simultaneously provided with the Special Meeting Request(s), such documentary evidence must be delivered to the secretary within 10 days after the date on which the Special Meeting Request(s) are delivered to the secretary) that the beneficial owners on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request(s) are made beneficially own the Requisite Percent as of the date on which such Special Meeting Request(s) are delivered to the secretary; and

(7) an agreement by the requesting stockholder(s) and the beneficial owner(s), if any, on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request(s) are being made, to notify the corporation immediately in the case of any disposition prior to the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting of shares of common stock of the corporation owned of record or beneficially owned, as applicable, and an acknowledgement that any such disposition shall be deemed a revocation of such Special Meeting Request, such that the number of shares disposed of shall not be included in determining whether the Requisite Percent has been reached or is maintained.

In addition, the stockholders requesting a special meeting of stockholders, the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request(s) are being made, and the proposed nominees, if any, shall promptly provide any other information reasonably requested by the corporation, including as to the eligibility of any proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the corporation and to comply with applicable law. Such stockholders, beneficial owners and nominees shall further update and supplement the information required under Section 1.2(b)(ii)(3)-(7) of these Bylaws not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting so that such information shall be true and correct as of the record date, and with respect to information required under Section 1.2(b)(ii)(6), as of a date not more than 5 business days before the scheduled date of the special meeting.

(iii) In determining whether a special meeting of stockholders has been requested by the record holders of shares representing in the aggregate at least the Requisite Percent, multiple Special Meeting Requests delivered to the secretary will be considered together only if each such Special Meeting Request (x) identifies substantially the same purpose or purposes of the special meeting and substantially the same matters proposed to be acted on at the special meeting (in each case as determined in good faith by the Board), and (y) has been dated and delivered to the secretary within sixty days of the earliest dated of such Special Meeting Requests.

(iv) Any requesting stockholder may revoke his, her or its Special Meeting Request at any time by written revocation delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation; provided, however, that if following such revocation (or any deemed revocation pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(ii)(7) above), the unrevoked valid Special Meeting Requests represent in the aggregate less than the Requisite Percent at any time prior to the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting, there shall be no requirement to hold a special meeting and the Board may, in its discretion, cancel such meeting. The first date on which unrevoked valid Special Meeting Requests constituting not less than the Requisite Percent shall have been delivered to the corporation is referred to herein as the “Request Receipt Date.”

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a special meeting requested by stockholders shall not be held if:

(1) the stockholders, the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request(s) are being made, or proposed nominees, if any, do not comply with the requirements of this Section 1.2(b);

(2) in the case of a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting that is called for the purpose of electing nominees to the Board, no proposed nominee meets the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 1.11(a) of these Bylaws;

(3) the Special Meeting Request relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law;

(4) the Request Receipt Date is during the period commencing ninety days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting and

ending on the earlier of (x) the date of the next annual meeting and (y) 30 days after the first anniversary of the date of the previous annual meeting;

(5) an identical or substantially similar item (as determined in good faith by the Board, a “Similar Item”) was presented at a meeting of the stockholders held not more than 120 days before the Request Receipt Date (for purposes of this clause (5), election or removal of directors shall be deemed to be a Similar Item with respect to all items of business involving the nomination, election or removal of directors, changing the size of the Board and filling of vacancies and/or newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors);

(6) the Board has called or calls for an annual or special meeting of stockholders to be held within 120 days of the Request Receipt Date and the business to be conducted at such meeting includes a Similar Item; or

(7) the Special Meeting Request(s) was made in a manner that involved a violation of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, or other applicable law.

(vi) Special meetings shall be held at such date and time as specified by the Board in accordance with these Bylaws; provided; however, that a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall not be held more than ninety days after the Request Receipt Date.

(vii) If none of the stockholders who submitted the Special Meeting Request appears or sends a qualified representative to present the matters for consideration that were specified in the Stockholder Meeting Request, the corporation need not present such matters for a vote at such meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such matter may have been received by the corporation.

(viii) Business transacted at any Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall be limited to (1) the purposes set forth in the valid Special Meeting Request(s) received from the Requisite Percent of record holders and (2) any additional matters that the Board of Directors determines to include in the Corporation’s notice of the meeting. Only business related to the purposes set forth in the notice of the meeting may be transacted at a special meeting called by the chairman of the Board or the chief executive officer or by resolution of the Board.

(b) Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to a stockholder may be given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked (1) if the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent and (2) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. For purposes of these Bylaws, “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

(c) Notice shall be deemed given, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail with postage prepaid, if addressed to a stockholder at his or her address on the corporation’s records. Notice given by electronic transmission shall be deemed given: (1) if by facsimile, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (2) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (3) if by posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and (4) by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

(d) An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given, whether by a form of electronic transmission or otherwise, shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

1.5 Quorum; Voting; Validation of Meeting. (a) The holders of a majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the

stockholders, then either (i) the person presiding over the meeting or (ii) the stockholders by the vote of a majority of the voting power of the stock, present in person or represented by proxy shall have power to adjourn the meeting in accordance with Section 1.6 of these Bylaws.

(b) (i) When a quorum is present at any meeting, except as provided below in the case of a contested election (as defined herein) and subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock to elect directors under specified circumstances pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, each director to be elected by stockholders shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present. On all other matters, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power on such matter present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of the laws of the State of Delaware or of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of the question. In all matters, votes cast in accordance with any method adopted by the corporation shall be valid so long as such method is permitted under Delaware law.

(ii) For purposes of this Section 1.5(b), a majority of votes cast shall mean that the number of votes cast “for” a director’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “withhold” or “against” that director’s election. “Abstentions” and “broker non-votes” shall not be deemed to be votes cast with respect to that director’s election. In the event of a contested election of directors, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of a director. For purposes of this Section 1.5(b), a contested election shall mean any election of directors in which the number of candidates for election as directors exceeds the number of directors to be elected, with the determination that an election is “contested” to be made by the secretary of the corporation (A) following the close of the applicable notice of nomination period, if any, set forth in Section 1.11 based on whether one or more notices of nomination were timely filed in accordance with said Section 1.11 or (B) if later, reasonably promptly following the determination by any court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction that one or more notice(s) of nomination were timely filed in accordance with said Section 1.11; provided that the determination that an election is a “contested election” by the secretary of the corporation pursuant to clause (A) or (B) shall be determinative only as to the timeliness of a notice of nomination and not otherwise as to its validity. If, prior to the time the corporation mails its initial proxy statement in connection with such election of directors, one or more notices of nomination are withdrawn (or declared invalid or untimely by any court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction) such that the number of candidates for election as director no longer exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the election shall not be considered a contested election, but in all other cases, once an election is determined to be a contested election, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast.

(iii) In order for any incumbent director to become a nominee of the Board for further service on the Board, such person shall submit an irrevocable resignation, contingent on (A) that person’s not receiving a majority of the votes cast in an election that is not a contested election, and (B) acceptance of that resignation by the Board in accordance with the policies and procedures set forth herein or adopted by the Board for such purpose. In the event an incumbent

director fails to receive a majority of the votes cast in an election that is not a contested election, the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, or any committee serving the functions of the committee that is known as the Corporate Governance Committee as of the effective date of these Bylaws (the “Corporate Governance Committee”), shall make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation of such incumbent director, or whether other action should be taken. The Board shall act on the resignation, taking into account the Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation, and publicly disclose (by a press release, a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other broadly disseminated means of communication) its decision regarding the resignation and the rationale behind the decision within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. The Corporate Governance Committee in making its recommendation, and the Board in making its decision, may each consider any factors or other information that it considers appropriate and relevant. The director whose resignation is being considered shall not participate in the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee or the decision of the Board with respect to his or her resignation. If such incumbent director’s resignation is not accepted by the Board, such director shall continue to serve as a member of the Board until the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or his or her earlier resignation or removal. If a director’s resignation is accepted by the Board pursuant to these Bylaws, or if a nominee for director is not elected and the nominee is not an incumbent director, then the Board, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.10 or may decrease the size of the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1.

(c) If a quorum is initially present, the stockholders may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken is approved by a majority of the stockholders initially constituting the quorum.

(d) The transactions of any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though they had been taken at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy.

1.6 Adjourned Meeting; Notice. (a) Whether or not a quorum is present, either the person presiding over the meeting or the stockholders by the vote of a majority of the voting power of the stock, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another time or place or means of remote communications. In the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at that meeting except as provided in Section 1.5 of these Bylaws.

(b) When any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place or means of remote communication, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. However, if a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed or if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days from the date set for the original meeting, then notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given. Any such required notice of an adjourned meeting shall be given to each

stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.4 of these Bylaws. At any adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

1.7 Voting. (a) The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.8 of these Bylaws, subject to the provisions of Sections 217 and 218 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners, and to voting trusts and other voting agreements).

(b) Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, by these Bylaws or as required by law, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder which has voting power upon the matter in question.

(c) Any stockholder entitled to vote on any matter may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or, except when the matter is the election of directors, may vote the remaining shares against the proposal; but if the stockholder fails to specify the number of shares which the stockholder is voting affirmatively or otherwise indicates how the number of shares to be voted affirmatively is to be determined, it will be conclusively presumed that the stockholder’s approving vote is with respect to all shares which the stockholder is entitled to vote.

(d) Voting need not be by ballot unless requested by a stockholder at the meeting or ordered by the person presiding over the meeting; however, all elections of directors shall be by written ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation; provided, that if authorized by the Board, a written ballot may be submitted by electronic transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxyholder.

1.8 Record Date for Stockholder Notice. (a) For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote thereat, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of any such meeting, and in such event only stockholders of record on the date so fixed are entitled to notice and to vote, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the record date, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, by these Bylaws, by agreement or by applicable law.

(b) If the Board does not so fix a record date, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

(c) A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board fixes a

new record date for the adjourned meeting, but the Board shall fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned for more than thirty (30) days from the date set for the original meeting.

(d) The record date for any other lawful purpose shall be as provided in Section 5.8 of these Bylaws.

1.9 Proxies. Every person entitled to vote for directors, or on any other matter, shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy filed with the secretary of the corporation. A written proxy may be in the form of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission was authorized by the person. No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212(e) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the secretary of the corporation.

A proxy is not revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker unless, before the vote is counted, written notice of such death or incapacity is received by the secretary of the corporation.

1.10 List of Stockholders. Not less than 10 days prior to the date of any meeting of stockholders, the secretary of the corporation shall prepare a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such stockholder; provided, that the corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. For a period of not less than 10 days prior to the meeting, the list shall be available during ordinary business hours for inspection by any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting. During this period, the list shall be kept either (1) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting or (2) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. If the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

1.11 Nominations of Directors. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.2(b), only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.11 shall be eligible for election by the stockholders as directors of the corporation. Nominations of

persons for election to the Board may be made at a meeting of stockholders (i) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (iii) provided that the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the corporation who (A) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice provided for in this Section 1.11 and at the time of the meeting, (B) is entitled to vote for the election of directors at such meeting and (C) shall have complied with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.11; and except as otherwise provided in Section 1.2(b), clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations of persons to the Board before or at a meeting of stockholders. No stockholder, other than the stockholders requesting a special meeting pursuant to and in compliance with Section 1.2(b), shall be permitted to submit nominations at any Stockholder Requested Special Meeting. To be eligible to be a nominee for election or re-election as a director of the corporation, the prospective nominee (whether nominated by or at the direction of the Board or by a stockholder), or someone acting on such prospective nominee’s behalf, must deliver (in accordance with any applicable time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under this Section 1.11) to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation a written questionnaire providing such information with respect to the background and qualifications of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made that would be required to be disclosed to stockholders pursuant to applicable law or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the corporation, including all information concerning such persons that would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (which questionnaire shall be provided by the secretary upon written request). The prospective nominee must also provide a written representation and agreement, in the form provided by the secretary upon written request, that such prospective nominee: (i) will abide by the requirements of Section 1.5(b)(iii); (ii) is not and will not become a party to (A) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such prospective nominee, if elected as a director of the corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the corporation or (B) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such prospective nominee’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the corporation, with such prospective nominee’s fiduciary duties under applicable law; (iii) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed therein; and (iv) would be in compliance if elected as a director of the corporation, and will comply with all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the corporation. For purposes of this Section 1.11, a “nominee” shall include any person being considered to fill a vacancy on the Board.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.2(b), nominations by any stockholder must be made pursuant to timely notice in proper written form to the secretary of the corporation in accordance with this paragraph. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to and received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation (i) in the case of an annual meeting, not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days in advance of the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that

no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has been advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from the date of the previous year’s meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth day following the day on which public disclosure (as defined in Section 1.13 hereof) of the date of the meeting is first made, and (ii) in the case of a special meeting at which the Board gives notice that directors are to be elected, not earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or, if later, the tenth day following the day on which public disclosure is made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a stockholders meeting or the public disclosure thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

To be in proper written form, such stockholder’s notice to the secretary shall set forth in writing (i) as to each person whom such stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, (A) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected) as well as (B) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the other hand, including all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K if the stockholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant; (ii) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, the Proposing Stockholder Information (as defined in Section 1.13 hereof); (iii) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such nomination; and (iv) a representation as to whether the stockholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends, or is or intends to be part of a group that intends, (A) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to elect the nominee and/or (B) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such nomination. At the request of the Board, any person nominated by the Board for election as a director shall furnish to the secretary that information required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee. The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee. Stockholders making a nomination pursuant to

this Section 1.11, beneficial owners on whose behalf the nomination is made, and nominees shall further update and supplement the information required under this Section 1.11 not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting so that such information shall be true and correct as of the record date. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.11 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of the corporation at a stockholders meeting is increased effective at such meeting and there is no public disclosure by the corporation naming all the nominees propose d by the Board for the additional directorships at least 100 days in advance of the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting or in the event of a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 1.11 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for such additional directorships, if it shall be delivered to and received by the secretary not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public disclosure is first made by the corporation.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.2(b), no person shall be eligible for election by the stockholders as a director unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.11. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the person presiding over the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these Bylaws (including whether the stockholder or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made solicited (or is part of a group which solicited) or did not so solicit, as the case may be, proxies in support of such stockholder’s nominee in compliance with such stockholder’s representation as required by clause (b)(iv) of this Section 1.11); and if he or she shall so determine, then he or she shall so declare at the meeting that the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

1.12 Stockholder Proposals. (a) At any special meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board pursuant to Section 1.2. At any annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business (other than nominations of directors, which must be made in compliance with, and shall be exclusively governed by Section 1.11) shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting (i) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (iii) by any stockholder of the corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice provided for in this Section 1.12 and at the time of the meeting, who shall be entitled to vote at such meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.12; clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to submit such business (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the corporation’s notice of meeting) before or at an annual meeting of stockholders. No stockholder, other than the stockholders requesting a special meeting pursuant to and in compliance with Section 1.2(b), shall be permitted to submit business before or at any Stockholder Requested Special Meeting.

(b) For business properly to be brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of paragraph (a), the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the secretary of the corporation and such other business

must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to and received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days in advance of the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that (i) no annual meeting was held in the previous year or (ii) the date of the annual meeting has been advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from the date of the previous year’s meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth day following the day on which public disclosure (as defined in Section 1.13 hereof) of the date of the meeting is first made. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a stockholders meeting or the public disclosure thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

To be in proper written form, such stockholder’s notice to the secretary shall set forth in writing (i) as to each matter the stockholder proposed to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at such meeting, and the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws of the corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), (ii) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, the Proposing Stockholder Information (as defined in Section 1.13); (iii) any material interest of the stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (iv) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by the stockholder; (v) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the corporation, entitled to vote at such meeting, and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business; and (vi) a representation whether the stockholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends, or is or intends to be part of a group that intends, (A) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal and/or (B) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal. Stockholders proposing to bring business before the stockholders meeting pursuant to this Section 1.12 and beneficial owners on whose behalf the nomination is made shall further update and supplement the information required under this Section 1.12(b) not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting so that such information shall be true and correct as of the record date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in the Bylaws to the contrary, no business (other than the election of directors) shall be conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.12 or if it constitutes an improper subject for stockholder action under applicable law. The person presiding over an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.12 (including whether the stockholder or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made solicited (or is part of a group which solicited) or did not so solicit, as the case may be, proxies in support of such stockholder’s proposal in compliance with such stockholder’s representation as

required by (b)(vi) of this Section 1.12, and, if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare at the meeting that any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

1.13 Public Disclosure; Conduct of Nominations and Proposals by Stockholders. (a) For purposes of Sections 1.4(a), 1.11 and 1.12 hereof, (i) “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press, Reuters or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and (ii) the term “group” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

(b) For purposes of Section 1.11 and 1.12 hereof, the “Proposing Stockholder Information” shall mean, as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (A) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s books, of such stockholder and of such beneficial owner, (B) the class or series and number of shares of the corporation’s stock which are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially and of record, by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, (C) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of the corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the corporation, whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the corporation or otherwise (a “Derivative Instrument”) directly or indirectly owned beneficially by such stockholder or beneficial owner and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the corporation, (D) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which such stockholder or beneficial owner has a right to vote any shares of any security of the corporation, (E) any short interest of such stockholder or beneficial owner in any security of the corporation (for purposes hereof a person shall be deemed to have a short interest in a security if such person directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the value of the subject security), (F) any rights to dividends on the shares of the corporation owned beneficially by such stockholder or beneficial owner that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the corporation, (G) any proportionate interest in shares of the corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which such stockholder or beneficial owner is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner, (H) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such stockholder or beneficial owner is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the date of such notice, including any such interests held by members of such stockholder’s or beneficial owner’s immediate family sharing the same household (which information shall be supplemented by such stockholder and beneficial owner not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date), and (I) any other information relating to such stockholder and beneficial owner that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal

and/or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of these Sections 1.11 and 1.12, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders of the corporation to present a nomination or business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation. In order to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder for purposes of these Bylaws, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders, and such person must produce such writing, or a reliable reproduction of the writing, at the meeting of stockholders.

Nothing in these Sections 1.11 and 1.12 shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors under specified circumstances pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation.

(e) The provisions of Sections 1.11 and 1.12 shall also govern what constitutes timely notice for purposes of Rule 14a-4(c) of the Exchange Act.

1.14 Meeting Required. Whenever the vote of stockholders at a meeting thereof is required or permitted to be taken for or in connection with any corporate action, such vote may only be taken at an annual or special meeting with prior notice, except as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation.

(b) The Board shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board, if any, the person presiding over the meeting shall have the right and authority to convene and adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures

and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of the person presiding over the meeting, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including (i) establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting, (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, including removing any stockholder who refuses to comply with meeting procedures, rules or guidelines as established by the person presiding over the meeting; (iii) limitations on participation in such meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation and their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the person presiding over the meeting shall permit, (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants, (vi) regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting, (vii) recessing or adjourning of the meeting, either by the person presiding over the meeting or the stockholders by the vote of a majority of the voting power of the stock, present in person or represented by proxy, and (viii) regulation of the voting or balloting, as applicable, including matters which are to be voted on by ballot, if any. The person presiding over the meeting shall have sole, absolute and complete authority and discretion to decide questions of compliance with the foregoing procedures and his or her ruling thereon shall be final and conclusive. The person presiding over the meeting, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter or business was not properly brought before the meeting and if the person presiding over the meeting should so determine and declare, any such matter or business shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.

1.16 Inspectors of Election. Before any meeting of stockholders, the Board may, and shall if required by law, appoint one or more inspectors of election, who may be employees of the corporation, to act at the meeting or its adjournment and to make a written report thereof. If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the person presiding over the meeting may, and upon the request of any stockholder or a stockholder’s proxy, shall appoint a person to fill that vacancy. Such inspectors shall:

(a) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies and ballots;

(b) receive votes and ballots, including, if applicable, votes and ballots submitted by means of electronic transmission;

(d) determine when the polls shall close;

(e) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspector or inspectors;

(f) certify their determination of the number of shares of the corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors’ count of all votes and ballots, which certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by law; and

(g) do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders.

Each inspector of election shall perform his or her duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of his or her ability and as expeditiously as is practical, and before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector of election with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. If there are three (3) or more inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Such action by written consent shall have the same force and affect as a unanimous vote of the Board. The resolution and the written consents or electronic transmission or transmissions by the members of the Board or the committee shall be filed with the minutes of the proceeding of the Board or of the committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

Any director may resign at any time by delivering his or her resignation in writing, including by means of electronic transmission, to the president or secretary of the corporation, to take effect at the time when delivered (unless otherwise specified therein) and the acceptance of a resignation, unless required by its terms, shall not be necessary to make it effective. Subject to applicable law and the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock with respect to such series of preferred stock, any or all of the directors may be removed at any time, either with or without cause, by vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power and entitled to vote thereon.

No decrease in the number of authorized directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

2.11 Compensation. Directors and members of committees shall receive such compensation as the Board determines, together with reimbursement of their reasonable expenses in connection with the performance of their duties. A director may also be paid for serving the corporation, its affiliates or subsidiaries in other capacities.

2.12 Notice to Members of the Board of Directors. Each member of the Board shall file with the secretary of the corporation an address to which mail or telegraphic notices shall be sent, a telephone number to which a telephonic or facsimile notice may be transmitted and, at the sole discretion of a director, such electronic address to which other electronic transmissions may be sent. A notice mailed, telegraphed, telephoned or transmitted by facsimile, email or other means of electronic transmission in accordance with the instructions provided by the director shall be deemed sufficient notice. Such address or telephone number may be changed at any time

and from time to time by a director by giving written notice of such change to the secretary. Failure on the part of any director to keep an address and telephone number on file with the secretary (but not including an address for other electronic transmissions) shall automatically constitute a waiver of notice of any regular or special meeting of the Board which might be held during the period of time that such address and telephone number are not on file with the secretary. A notice shall be deemed to be mailed when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid. A notice shall be deemed to be telegraphed when the notice is delivered to the transmitter of the telegram and either payment or provision for payment is made by the corporation. Notice shall be deemed to be given by telephone if the notice is transmitted over the telephone to some person (whether or not such person is the director) or message recording device answering the telephone at the number which the director has placed on file with the secretary. Notice shall be deemed to be given by facsimile, email or other means of electronic transmission when sent to the telephone number or other address which the director has placed on file with the secretary.

Meetings of the Board shall be presided over by the chairman of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence by the vice chairman of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence by the chief executive officer, if any, or in his or her absence by the president, if any. In the absence of all such directors, a president pro tem chosen by a majority of the directors present shall preside at the meeting. The secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

2.14 Director Emeritus. The Board may from time to time elect one or more directors emeritus (each a “Director Emeritus”), each of whom shall serve, at the pleasure of the Board, until the first meeting of the Board next following the annual meeting of stockholders, subject to an annual review, or until his or her earlier resignation or removal by the Board. A Director Emeritus shall serve as an advisor and consultant to the Board, subject to such terms and conditions as may be approved by the Board, and may be appointed by the Board to serve as an advisor and consultant to one or more committees of the Board. Such Director Emeritus shall also be available for consultation with management of the corporation. A Director Emeritus shall have the privilege of attending meetings of the Board, and meetings of any committee of the Board for which he or she has been appointed to serve as an advisor and consultant. A Director Emeritus may participate in the discussions that occur during the portions of such meetings which he or she attends. Notice of such meetings to a Director Emeritus shall not be required under any applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws. Each Director Emeritus shall be entitled to receive such compensation as may be fixed from time to time by the Board. No Director Emeritus shall be entitled to vote on any business coming before the Board or any committee of the Board, nor shall he or she be counted as a member of the Board or any such committee for the purpose of determining the number of Directors necessary to constitute a quorum, for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present, or for any other purpose whatsoever. In the case of a Director Emeritus, the occurrence of any event which in the case of a director would create a vacancy on the Board, shall be deemed to create a vacancy in such position; but the Board may declare the position terminated until such time as the Board shall again deem it proper to create and to fill the position. A Director Emeritus shall be entitled to indemnification under these Bylaws to the same extent, and subject to the same conditions and limitations, as a member of the Board.

The owner of any stock of the corporation shall immediately notify the corporation of any loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate therefor, and the corporation may issue uncertificated shares or a new certificate for stock in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it and alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Board may, in its discretion, require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or his or her legal representatives to give the corporation a bond in such sum, limited or unlimited, and in such form and with such surety or sureties, as the Board shall in its uncontrolled discretion determine, to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate, or the issuance of any such new certificate or uncertificated shares. The Board may, however, in its discretion refuse to issue any such new certificate or uncertificated shares except pursuant to legal proceedings under the laws of the State of Delaware in such case made and provided.

5.4 Stock Records. The corporation or a transfer agent shall keep stock books in which shall be recorded the number of shares issued, the names of the owners of the shares, the number owned by them respectively, whether such shares are represented by certificates or are uncertificated, and the transfer of such shares with the date of transfer.

5.5 Transfers. Transfers of stock shall be made only on the stock transfer record of the corporation upon surrender of the certificate or certificates being transferred which certificate shall be properly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by a duly executed stock power, except in the case of uncertificated shares, for which the transfer shall be made only upon receipt of transfer documentation reasonably acceptable to the corporation. Whenever a certificate is endorsed by or accompanied by a stock power executed by someone other than the person or persons named in the certificate, or the transfer documentation for the uncertificated shares is executed by someone other than the holder of record thereof, evidence of authority to transfer same shall also be submitted with the certificate or transfer documentation. All certificates surrendered to the corporation for transfer shall be canceled.

5.6 Regulations Governing Issuance and Transfers of Shares. The Board shall have the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as it shall deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of shares of stock of the corporation.

5.7 Transfer Agents and Registrars. The Board may appoint, or authorize one or more officers to appoint, one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars.

5.8 Record Date for Purposes Other than Notice and Voting. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted and which shall not be more than sixty (60) days before any such action. In that case, only stockholders of record at the close of business on the date so fixed are entitled to receive the dividend, distribution or allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the record date so fixed, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, by these Bylaws, by agreement or by law. If the Board does not so fix a record date, then the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the applicable resolution.

6. MISCELLANEOUS.

6.1 Seal. The Board may adopt a corporate seal, which shall be in the form of a circle and shall bear the corporation’s name and the year and state in which it was incorporated.

6.2 Fiscal Year. The Board may determine the corporation’s fiscal year. Until changed by the Board, the corporation’s fiscal year shall be the calendar year.

6.3 Voting of Shares in Other Corporations. Shares in other corporations which are held by the corporation may be represented and voted by the president or a vice president of this corporation or by proxy or proxies appointed by one of them. The Board may, however, appoint some other person to vote the shares.

6.4 Checks; Drafts; Evidences of Indebtedness. From time to time, the Board shall determine by resolution which person or persons may sign or endorse all checks, drafts, other orders for payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness that are issued in the name of or payable to the corporation, and only the persons so authorized shall sign or endorse those instruments.

6.5 Corporate Contracts and Instruments; How Executed. The Board, except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances. Unless so authorized or ratified by the Board or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

6.6 Construction; Definitions. Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in the General Corporation Law of Delaware shall govern the construction of these Bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular, the term “person” includes both a corporation and a natural person, and the masculine gender includes the feminine gender and vice versa. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in these Bylaws they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

6.7 Provisions Additional to Provisions of Law. All restrictions, limitations, requirements and other provisions of these Bylaws shall be construed, insofar as possible, as supplemental and additional to all provisions of law applicable to the subject matter thereof and shall be fully complied with in addition to the said provisions of law unless such compliance shall be illegal.

6.8 Provisions Contrary to Provisions of Law. Any article, section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause or phrase of these Bylaws which upon being construed in the manner provided in Section 6.7 hereof, shall be contrary to or inconsistent with any applicable provisions of law, shall not apply so long as said provisions of law shall remain in effect, but such result shall not affect the validity or applicability of any other portions of these Bylaws, it being hereby declared that these Bylaws would have been adopted and each article, section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more articles, sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses or phrases is or are illegal.

6.9 Amendments. Bylaws may be amended, repealed or adopted by a majority of the entire Board, provided that written notice of any such proposed action shall have been given to each director prior to such meeting, or that notice of such addition, amendment, alteration or report shall have been given at the preceding meeting of the Board. The Bylaws may also be amended, repealed or adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereon; provided, however, that in the case of any such stockholder action at a special meeting of stockholders, notice of the proposed alteration, repeal or adoption of the new Bylaw or Bylaws must be contained in the notice of such special meeting.

Whenever an amendment or new bylaw is adopted, it shall be copied in the book of bylaws with the original bylaws, in the appropriate place. If any bylaw is repealed, the fact of repeal with the date of the meeting at which the repeal was enacted or the filing of the operative written consent(s) shall be stated in said book.

6.10 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Generally.

(1) The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to serve at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the corporation as a

director or officer (which, for purposes hereof, shall include a trustee or similar capacity)of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity.

(2) The corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to serve at the request of the corporation as an employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity.

(3) The indemnification provided by this subsection (a) shall be from and against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, but shall only be provided if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action, suit or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), in the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (i) the indemnification provided by this subsection (a) shall be limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in the defense or settlement of such action or suit, and (ii) no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(5) The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

(b) Successful Defense. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent, or former officer or director of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsection (a) hereof or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. If a director or officer or former officer or director is not wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any action, suit or proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise,

as to any claim, issue or matter in such action, suit or proceeding, the corporation shall indemnify such person against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person or on his or her behalf relating to each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 6.10 and without limitation, the termination of a claim, issue or matter in an action, suit or proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

(c) Determination That Indemnification Is Proper. Any indemnification of a person entitled to indemnity under subsection (a)(1) hereof shall (unless otherwise ordered by a court) be made by the corporation unless a determination is made that indemnification of such person is not proper in the circumstances because he or she has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsection (a)(3) hereof. Any indemnification of a person entitled to indemnity under subsection (a)(2) hereof may (unless otherwise ordered by a court) be made by the corporation upon a determination that indemnification of such person is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsection (a)(3) hereof. Any such determination shall be made (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even if less than a quorum, or (ii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.

(d) Advance Payment of Expenses; Notification and Defense of Claim.

(i) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending a threatened or pending civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.

(ii) Promptly after receipt by a director, officer, employee or agent of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such person shall, if a claim thereof is to be made against the corporation hereunder, notify the corporation of the commencement thereof. The failure to promptly notify the corporation will not relieve the corporation from any liability that it may have to such person hereunder, except to the extent the corporation is prejudiced in its defense of such action, suit or proceeding as a result of such failure.

(iii) The Board of Directors may authorize the corporation’s counsel to represent a director, officer, employee or agent in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the corporation is a party to such action, suit or proceeding. In the event the corporation shall be obligated to pay the expenses of any person with respect to an action, suit or proceeding, as provided in this Section 6.10, the corporation, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such person, upon the delivery to such person of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such

notice, approval of such counsel by such person and the retention of such counsel by the corporation, the corporation will not be liable to such person under this Section 6.10 for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by such person with respect to the same action, suit or proceeding, provided that (i) the director, officer, employee or agent shall have the right to employ his or her counsel in such action, suit or proceeding at such person’s expense and (b) if (i) the employment of counsel by such person has been previously authorized in writing by the corporation, (ii) counsel to the director, officer, employee or agent shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any significant issue between the corporation and such person in the conduct of any such defense or (iii) the corporation shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding, then the fees and expenses of such person’s counsel shall be at the expense of the corporation.

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.10 to the contrary, to the extent that any director or officer is, by reason of his or her corporate status, a witness or otherwise participates in any action, suit or proceeding at a time when such person is not a party in the action, suit or proceeding, the corporation shall indemnify such person against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person or on his or her behalf in connection therewith.

(e) Procedure for Indemnification of Required Indemnitees. Any indemnification of a person the corporation is required to indemnify under subsection (a) hereof, or advance of costs, charges and expenses of a person the corporation is required to pay under subsection (d) hereof, shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days, upon the written request of such person. If the corporation fails to respond within 60 days, then the request for indemnification shall be deemed to be approved. The right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Section 6.10 shall be enforceable by the person the corporation is required to indemnify under subsection (a) hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction if the corporation denies such request, in whole or in part. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under subsection (d) hereof where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in subsection (a) hereof, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsection (a) hereof, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

A director or officer shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.10 upon submission of a request for indemnification pursuant to this subsection (e), and the corporation shall have the burden of proof in overcoming that presumption in reaching a determination contrary to that presumption. Such presumption shall be used as a basis for a

determination of entitlement to indemnification unless the corporation provides information sufficient to overcome such presumption by clear and convincing evidence.

(f) Survival; Preservation of Other Rights. The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall be deemed to be a contract between the corporation and each director, officer, employee and agent who serves in such capacity at any time while these provisions as well as the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware are in effect and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any right or obligation then existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any action, suit, or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. Such a “contract right” may not be modified retroactively without the consent of such director, officer, employee or agent. The indemnification provided by this Section 6.10 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(g) Indemnification Agreements. Without limiting the provisions of this Section 6.10, the corporation is authorized from time to time, without further action by the stockholders of the corporation, to enter into agreements with any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation providing such rights of indemnification as the corporation may deem appropriate, up to the maximum extent permitted by law. Any agreement entered into by the corporation with a director may be authorized by the other directors, and such authorization shall not be invalid on the basis that similar agreements may have been or may thereafter be entered into with other directors.

(h) Insurance and Subrogation

(i) The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to serve at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against, and incurred by, him or her or on his or her behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Section 6.10.

(ii) In the event of any payment by the corporation under this Section 6.10, the corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of such person, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights in accordance with the terms of such insurance policy.

(iii) The corporation shall not be liable under this Section 6.10 to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) if and to the extent that

such person has otherwise actually received such payment under the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws or any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

(i) Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Section 6.10, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents so that any person who is or was a director, officer employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 6.10 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Section 6.10, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this Section 6.10. For purposes of any determination under this Section 6.10, a person shall be deemed to have acted in “good faith” and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the corporation or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 6.10(i) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.10(a)(3) of this Section 6.10, as the case may be.

(j) Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the corporation shall not be obligated pursuant to these Bylaws:

(i) To indemnify or advance expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent with respect to proceedings (or part thereof) initiated by such person, except with respect to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification (which shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 6.10), unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the corporation.

(ii) To indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent for any expenses incurred by such person with respect to any proceeding instituted by such person to enforce or

interpret these Bylaws, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by such person in such proceedings was not made in good faith or was frivolous;

(iii) To indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent for expenses or the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by such person of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute.

(k) Certain Settlement Provisions. The corporation shall have no obligation to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent under this Section 6.10 for amounts paid in settlement of any action, suit or proceeding without the corporation’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The corporation shall not settle any action, suit or proceeding in any manner that would impose any fine or other obligation on any director or officer or employee or agent without such person’s prior written consent.

(l) Savings Clause. If this Section 6.10 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director or officer and may indemnify each employee or agent of the corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 6.10 that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

(m) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for herein is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to a director or officer in whole or in part, it is agreed that, in such event, the corporation shall contribute to the payment of such director’s or officer’s costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, but not including an action by or in the right of the corporation, in an amount that is just and equitable in the circumstances, taking into account, among other things, contributions by other directors and officers of the corporation or others pursuant to indemnification agreements or otherwise; provided, that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such contribution shall not be required where such holding by the court is due to (i) the failure of such director or officer to meet the standard of conduct set forth in subsection (a) hereof, or (ii) any limitation on indemnification set forth in subsection (h)(iii), (j) or (k) hereof.

(n) Form and Delivery of Communications. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the corporation under this Section 6.10 shall be in writing and either delivered in person or sent by telecopy, telex, telegram, overnight mail or courier service, or certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the General Counsel or secretary of the corporation at its principal executive offices.

(o) Subsequent Legislation. If the General Corporation Law of Delaware is amended after adoption of this Section 6.10 to expand further the indemnification permitted to

directors or officers, then the corporation shall indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as so amended.
