From and after the Effective Time, all Shares converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired, and each holder of (i) a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Shares (a “Certificate”) or (ii) Shares held in book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) of such Share(s) shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in consideration for each such Share in accordance with this Article II upon compliance with the applicable procedures set forth in this Article II.

If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to properly perfect or otherwise effectively waives, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented thereby, without interest and less any required Tax withholding as provided in Section 3.01(h), upon surrender of the Certificate representing such Shares, other reasonable steps with respect to Book-Entry Shares or delivery of an “agent’s message”, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.01.

ARTICLE III

DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION; CONVERSION OF EQUITY AWARDS

Section 3.01 Payment of Merger Consideration.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into a customary paying agent agreement with a nationally recognized financial institution designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”), and shall deposit with the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount necessary to pay the Per Share Merger Consideration (such cash provided to the Paying Agent, hereinafter referred to as the “Merger Fund”). The Paying Agent shall deliver the Per Share Merger Consideration to be issued pursuant to Section 2.05 out of the Merger Fund. Except as provided in Section 3.01(g), the Merger Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Payment Procedures.

(i) Certificates. Parent shall instruct the Paying Agent to mail, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the Closing Date, to each holder of record of a Certificate whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.05, (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify), and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver in exchange thereof as promptly as practicable, the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration in respect thereof, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate.

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. As soon as reasonably practical after the Effective Time and in any event no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail or otherwise provide to each holder of Book-Entry Shares whose Shares were converted into a right to receive the Per Share Merger

5

Consideration pursuant to Section 2.05, (A) a letter of transmittal specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, with respect to each Book-Entry Share, only upon delivery of an “agent’s message” regarding the book-entry transfer of the Book-Entry Shares (or such other evidence, if any, of the transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Book-Entry Shares by book-receipt of an “agent’s message” in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver in exchange thereof as promptly as practicable, the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration in respect thereof. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon conversion of any Book-Entry Shares.

(c) The Per Share Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III upon the surrender of the Certificates (or in accordance with Section 3.01(b)(ii) in the case of the Book-Entry Shares) shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares. From and after the Effective Time, (i) all holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company other than the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration into which the shares represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement upon surrender of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 3.01(b) and (ii) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of Shares. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares formerly representing Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason (including, without limitation, with respect to any Dissenting Shares that cease to be Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 2.09), they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

(d) Any portion of the Merger Fund (including proceeds of any investment thereof) that remains undistributed to the former holders of Shares on the sixth-month anniversary of the Effective Time shall, subject to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law, be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any former holders of Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of its claim for the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(e) None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any amount delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law. Any Per Share Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by former holders of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

6

(f) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in reasonable amount as Parent or the Paying Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue the Per Share Merger Consideration in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate.

(g) The Paying Agent shall invest the Merger Fund as directed by Parent; provided, however, that no such investment income or gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Shares. Any interest, gains and other income resulting from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent payable to Parent upon its request, and no part of such interest, gains and other income shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Shares; provided, further, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Shares pursuant to this Article III. If for any reason (including losses) the cash in the Merger Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made in cash by the Paying Agent hereunder, Parent shall promptly deposit cash into the Merger Fund in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount of cash required to fully satisfy such cash payment obligations.

(h) Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any former holder of Shares 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 Applicable Law. Any amount deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 3.01(h) and paid over to the relevant Taxing Authority shall be treated as having been paid to the holder of Shares 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.

Section 3.02 Treatment of Company Equity Awards. Except as otherwise agreed upon by the holder and Parent in writing, the following treatment shall apply to the Company’s equity compensation:

(a) Company Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled, and the holder thereof shall then become entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Company Stock Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Company Stock Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, less any amount required to be withheld as provided in Section 3.01(h), which amount shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, if the exercise price per share of a Company Stock Option exceeds the Per Share Merger Consideration, such Company Stock Option shall be cancelled at the Effective Time without payment of any consideration.

7

(b) Company Restricted Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Restricted Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest in full and become free of restrictions and any repurchase rights applicable thereto shall lapse, and the holder thereof shall then become entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration, less any amount required to be withheld as provided in Section 3.01(h), which amount shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time.

(c) Company PSUs. At the Effective Time, each Company PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and the holder thereof shall then become entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration, multiplied by (ii) the PSU Amount, less any amount required to be withheld as provided in Section 3.01(h), which amount shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time. For purposes of this Agreement, “PSU Amount” means, with respect to any Company PSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of units determined based on the actual attainment of the applicable performance goals through the date immediately preceding the Effective Time, and the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be the value of a share of Company Common Stock for purposes of such calculation.

(d) Company Actions. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, and in any event prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the Company Board (or applicable committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions to (i) terminate the Company Stock Plans on the Closing Date; and (ii) effectuate treatment of the Company’s equity compensation awards, as contemplated by this Section 3.02, and ensure that, after the Effective Time, (A) no former or current holder of a Company equity compensation award or any current or former participant in any Company Stock Plan or Company Plan shall have any right thereunder to acquire any securities of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent and (B) no holder of a Company equity compensation award shall have any right to receive any payment or benefit with respect to such Company equity compensation award, except as provided in this Section 3.02; provided that no such action shall terminate, cancel or otherwise affect any restrictive covenant binding on the holder of any Company Stock Option, Company Restricted Stock, and/or Company PSU that is contained in the Company Stock Plans or the corresponding award agreement(s), to the extent such restrictive covenant would otherwise survive such action.

(c) There is no (i) Proceeding initiated by any other Person pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing against the Company or any other Company Entity challenging the validity, enforceability or ownership of any material Company Owned Intellectual Property; provided, in each case, that any Proceeding that has been initiated but with respect to which process or other comparable notice has not been served on or delivered to the Company or any Company Entity shall be deemed to be “threatened” rather than “pending” or (ii) Governmental Order against the Company or any Company Entity or settlement agreement that a Company Entity is a party to or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other Governmental Order or settlement agreement restricting in any material respect the use or exploitation of any material Company Owned Intellectual Property.

The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and the Company shall instruct and cause its Representatives not to, release any third party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it or one of its Affiliates is a party in connection with a Competing Company Transaction, unless the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors, that failure to take any such action would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties to the Company or its stockholders under Applicable Law. The Company

37

shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, promptly request each Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates) that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such Person’s consideration of a Competing Company Transaction (whether by merger, acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise), to return (or if permitted by the applicable confidentiality agreement, destroy) all information required to be returned (or, if applicable, destroyed) by such Person under the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement and, if requested by Parent, to seek to enforce such Person’s obligation to do so.

(b) The Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after the Company attains knowledge thereof) notify Parent, orally and in writing, after the receipt by the Company or any of its Representatives of any proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment thereto) with respect to a Competing Company Transaction, including any request for discussions or negotiations and any request for information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Affiliates. Such notice shall include a description of such proposal, inquiry, offer or request, including in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions (if any) of such proposed Competing Company Transaction (including a copy of any written proposal relating thereto) and, unless restricted by a confidentiality agreement entered into prior to the date hereof, the identity of the Person making such proposal, inquiry, offer or request. The Company agrees that it shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a prompt basis of the status and reasonable details of (including discussions with respect thereto or amendments to) any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request. The Company agrees that it shall substantially simultaneously provide to Parent any nonpublic information concerning the Company that may be made available pursuant to Section 7.01(c) to any other Person in response to any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request (including discussions with respect thereto or any amendment to) unless such information has previously been provided or made available by the Company to Parent. The Company agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not enter into any Contract with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement that prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 7.01(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.01, at any time prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company may furnish information to, and enter into discussions and negotiations with, any Person (or any of such Person’s Representatives) who has made a written, bona fide proposal or offer with respect to a Competing Company Transaction that did not arise or result from any material breach of Section 7.01(a) if, prior to furnishing such information and entering into such discussions and negotiations, (A) the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined, in its good faith judgment (after consulting with an outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel), that such proposal or offer constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal, (B) the Company has provided written notice to Parent of its intent to furnish information to, and enter into discussions and negotiations with, such Person and (C) the Company has obtained (to the extent not already obtained) from such Person an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood that an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and any related agreements shall not include any provision granting such Person exclusive rights to negotiate with the Company or having the effect of prohibiting the Company from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement) and, promptly upon its execution, delivered to Parent a copy of such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement.

38

(d) Except as set forth in this Section 7.01(d), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (x) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify, modify or amend in a manner adverse to Parent, or fail to make, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify, modify or amend in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation (or fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement), or (y) approve or adopt, or recommend the approval or adoption of, or publicly propose to approve or adopt, any Competing Company Transaction (any such actions, a “Change in the Company Board Recommendation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) the Company Board may make a Change in the Company Board Recommendation if (A) other than in connection with or as a result of the making of a Competing Company Transaction, a material event, development or change in circumstances relating to the Company first occurring or arising after the date of this Agreement and prior to the receipt of Company Stockholder Approval if and only if such event, development or change of circumstances was neither known nor reasonably foreseeable to the Company Board on the date of this Agreement, which material event, development or change in circumstances becomes known to the Company Board prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval (such material development or change in circumstances being referred to as an “Intervening Event”) (it being understood that in no event shall (x) the receipt, existence or terms of a Competing Company Transaction, (y) changes in and of themselves in the market price or trading volume of Company Common Stock or (z) the fact that the Company meets or exceeds or fails to meet or exceed internal or published projections, forecasts or revenue or earnings predictions for any period constitute an Intervening Event), (B) the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with its outside legal counsel, that an Intervening Event has occurred and a failure to make a Change in the Company Board Recommendation would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties to the Company or its stockholders under Applicable Law, (C) Parent does not, within three (3) Business Days, or such shorter period in the event that the Company Stockholders’ Meeting is scheduled to occur in less than three (3) Business Days, after Parent receives written notice from the Company that the Company Board has determined that an Intervening Event requires the Company Board to effect a Change in the Company Board Recommendation and describing in reasonable detail the circumstances underlying such determination, make a written offer to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for the Company Board to effect a Change in the Company Board Recommendation, and (D) during such applicable period, the Company engages in good-faith negotiations with Parent (to the extent that Parent desires to negotiate) to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for the Company Board to effect, or cause the Company to effect, a Change in the Company Board Recommendation; and

(ii) if at any time prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and in response to the receipt of an offer or proposal with respect to a Competing Company Transaction that did not arise or result from any material breach of this Section 7.01, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in its good faith judgment (after consulting with an outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such offer or proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to make a Change in the Company Board Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties to the Company or its stockholders under Applicable Law, then the Company Board may, with respect

39

to such Superior Proposal, (x) make a Change in the Company Board Recommendation or (y) cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(g) in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for such Superior Proposal if, in each case:

(1) the Company has provided written notice to Parent (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) advising Parent that the Company Board has received a Superior Proposal promptly after the Company Board determines it has received a Superior Proposal, stating that the Company Board intends to make a Change in the Company Board Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(g) and describing in reasonable detail the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, including a copy of the offer or proposal that constitutes the Superior Proposal; and

(2) Parent does not, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal (the “Notice Period”), make a written offer or proposal to revise the terms of this Agreement (any such offer, a “Revised Transaction Proposal”) in a manner that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with an outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, to be at least as favorable to the Company’s stockholders as such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that, during the Notice Period, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) regarding any Revised Transaction Proposal and, following the end of the Notice Period, the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent and shall have determined, after consultation with its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if the revisions proposed by Parent were to be given effect; provided, further, that any amendment to the material terms of such Superior Proposal during the Notice Period shall require a new written notice of the material terms of such amended Superior Proposal from the Company and a new notice period shall commence, except that the five (5) Business Day period shall instead be equal to the longer of the three (3) Business Day Notice Period and the period remaining under the initial five (5) Business Day Notice Period, including with respect to the Company’s obligations to negotiate in good faith with Parent.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder, or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties to the Company or its stockholders under Applicable Law.

Section 7.02 Preparation of Proxy Statement; Company Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement (and in any event no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the date of this Agreement), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, a proxy statement, in preliminary form, relating to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Proxy Statement”), which shall, subject to Section 7.01 (including a Change in the Company Board Recommendation), include a statement to the effect that the Company Board has recommended

40

that the holders of Company Common Stock vote in favor of adoption of this Agreement at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (the “Company Board Recommendation”). The Company shall use all reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments by the SEC staff in respect of the Proxy Statement. Parent and Merger Sub shall exercise reasonable best efforts to furnish all information relating to it required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the Proxy Statement. The Company shall promptly notify Parent upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and shall provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand, relating to the Proxy Statement. The Company shall provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and propose comments on the Proxy Statement prior to the filing thereof (and any amendments or supplements thereto) or any responses or other communications to the SEC or its staff and shall in good faith consider such comments reasonably proposed by Parent for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve all SEC comments with respect to the Proxy Statement as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed to the holders of Company Common Stock as of the record date established for the Company Stockholders’ Meeting as promptly as practicable after the date on which the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement.

(b) If at any time prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, should be discovered by a party, which information should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare (with the assistance of Parent, if applicable) and mail to its stockholders such an amendment or supplement, in each case, to the extent required by Applicable Law. The Company further agrees to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement as so corrected or supplemented promptly to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to its stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by Applicable Law.

(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall (i) take all actions required under the DGCL and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders promptly following the mailing of the Proxy Statement (and in any event within forty-five (45) days of such mailing) for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval (the “Company Stockholders’ Meeting”), with the record date and meeting date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting to be selected after reasonable consultation with Parent, and (ii) unless a Change in the Company Board Recommendation has been made, use all reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Contemplated Transactions.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to the DGCL, (i) if the Company reasonably determines in good faith that the Company Stockholder Approval is unlikely to be obtained at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, including due to an absence of quorum, then on no more than one occasion (for a period of not more than thirty (30) calendar days) and prior to the vote contemplated having been taken, the Company shall have the right to require an adjournment or postponement of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting for the

41

purpose of soliciting additional votes in favor of this Agreement, and (ii) if requested by Parent on no more than one occasion, the Company shall adjourn, delay or postpone the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, if Parent reasonably determines in good faith that the Company Stockholder Approval is unlikely to be obtained at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting. The Company shall keep Parent informed on a reasonably current basis regarding its solicitation efforts and proxy tallies following the dissemination of the Proxy Statement to the holders of Company Common Stock.

Section 7.03 Access to Information.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to provide any access or disclose any information to Parent or its respective Representatives if such disclosure could reasonably be expected to (A) jeopardize, or result in a loss or waiver of, any attorney-client or other legal privilege, (B) contravene any Applicable Law, fiduciary or other duty or any agreement or (C) result in the loss of protection of any proprietary information or Trade Secrets of any Company Entity; provided that the Company shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such access or information pursuant to clauses (A), (B) or (C) of this Section 7.03 and thereafter Parent and the Company shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such access or information, as applicable, to be provided, or made available, in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to jeopardize such privilege, contravene such Applicable Law, fiduciary or other duty or agreement, or result in any loss of such protection of proprietary information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Representatives shall be allowed to conduct any invasive or subsurface sampling of any soil or groundwater or other environmental media, or any building material, without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Company.

existing bylaws (or similar governing documents) of the Company or its Subsidiaries, the existing certificates of incorporation of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any indemnification Contract between such directors or officers and the Company and its Subsidiaries (in the case of any indemnification Contracts, to the extent made available to Parent prior to, the date hereof) shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses equivalent to the provisions of the form of amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company set forth in Exhibit C hereto, the existing bylaws (or similar governing documents) of the Company or its Subsidiaries, the existing certificates of incorporation of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any indemnification Contract as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Parties; provided that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim made for indemnification within such period shall continue until the disposition of such action or resolution of such claim. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 7.04(a).

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, or if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of or after the Effective Time to, purchase a six (6) year prepaid “tail” policy, with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable to the insured persons than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance, with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions), and Parent shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation; provided that in no event shall the Company pay, or the Surviving Corporation be required to pay, with respect to such insurance policies, more than 250% of the most recent annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Maximum Amount”). If the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies prior to, as of or after the Effective Time, Parent shall, for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time; provided that in no event shall Parent be required to pay annual premiums in excess of the Maximum Amount, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as possible for the Maximum Amount.

(c) The covenants contained in this Section 7.04 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any such Person is entitled, whether pursuant to Applicable Law, contract or otherwise.

(d) In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors or assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.04.

43

Section 7.05 Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Notices and Consents.

(a) Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use best efforts to (i) promptly obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement, (ii) cooperate fully with the other Parties in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals and (iii) provide such other information to any Governmental Authority as such Governmental Authority may reasonably request in connection herewith. Each Party agrees to, and shall cause its Affiliates to, make as promptly as reasonably practicable its respective legally applicable filings, but in Austria and Germany in no event later than within thirty (30) Business Days following the date hereof, which can be extended upon agreement between the parties if the Austrian or German competition authority respectively proposes to have more time for pre-filing consultations, and in the United States within fifteen (15) Business Days following the date hereof, it being understood that notwithstanding Parent’s obligations pursuant under the Agreement, antitrust filings in Austria and Germany will be made by Parent in fulfillment of the filing obligations of all other Parties, and in the case of filing of a declaration, or to the extent determined appropriate by Parent, a joint voluntary notice with respect to the Contemplated Transactions to CFIUS, no more than ten (10) Business Days following the date hereof, and to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested by CFIUS or pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws. Upon filing of the declaration with CFIUS, each Party will cooperate fully with the other Parties in promptly preparing the information necessary for the submission of a joint voluntary notice to CFIUS. In the event that (i) CFIUS requests that Parties submit a joint voluntary notice after it concludes its review of the declaration or (ii) no more than five (5) Business Days after CFIUS concludes its review of the declaration, Parent reasonably decides after consultation with the Company to submit a joint voluntary notice after CFIUS has determined that it is not able to conclude action pursuant to the declaration, Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, submit a draft joint voluntary notice no more than ten (10) Business Days following CFIUS’s response to the Declaration. Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, submit a final joint voluntary notice no more than five (5) Business Days after receiving comments to the draft joint voluntary notice from CFIUS. Parent shall be responsible for all filing fees.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the undertakings of the Parties pursuant to Section 7.05(a), and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent agrees to use its best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, any and all steps and to make, or cause to be made, any and all undertakings necessary to resolve, avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event, prior to the Termination Date), including (i) proposing, negotiating, committing to, and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, licensing or disposition of any assets, properties or businesses of Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (ii) accepting any operational restrictions or otherwise taking or

44

committing to take actions that limit Parent’s or any of its Subsidiary’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of the assets, properties, licenses, rights, product lines, operations or businesses of Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries in each case, as may be required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the lifting or dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order, or other Governmental Order in any suit or Proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of preventing the Closing, as applicable. If such efforts fail to resolve, avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger so as to enable the Closing to occur, then Parent shall use its best efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Governmental Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing from occurring as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event, prior to the Termination Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, none of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to agree to any sale, transfer, license, separate holding, divestiture or other disposition of, or to any prohibition of or any limitation on the acquisition, ownership, operation, effective control or exercise of full rights of ownership, or other modification of rights in respect of, any assets, properties or businesses of Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries that, in each case, is not conditioned on the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

(c) Each Party shall promptly notify the other Parties of any substantive communication it or any of its Representatives receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the ability to consummate the Contemplated Transactions and permit the other Parties to review in advance any proposed substantive communication by such Party to any Governmental Authority, it being understood that (i) Parent, notwithstanding its obligations under this agreement, shall be responsible for and entitled to direct the antitrust filings, in particular with regard to the overall strategy and the documents and information made available to the relevant Governmental Authorities by way of the filing or subsequent submissions; and (ii) no other Party is entitled to make any submission or to provide any information to the relevant Governmental Authorities in Austria and Germany without the explicit prior consent of Parent, unless to the extent such other Party is obliged by Applicable Law or enforceable order of any Governmental Authority to make available certain information to the relevant Governmental Authority. The Party providing communications for review under the foregoing sentence shall consider, in good faith, the suggestions made by the other Parties. Parent and the Company shall not agree to participate in any meeting or substantive discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation (including any settlement of an investigation), litigation or other inquiry relating to the Contemplated Transactions unless it consults with Parent or the Company, as applicable, in advance. Each Party shall, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or substantive discussion. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other Parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act and with regard to antitrust filings in Austria and Germany as promptly as reasonably practicable. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, provide each other with copies of all substantive correspondence, filings or substantive communications between them or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to

45

this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions; provided, however, that materials may be redacted (i) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements or Applicable Law and (ii) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns; provided, further, that a Party may designate information that it views to be commercially sensitive or competitively sensitive to be viewed only by outside antitrust counsel for the other Parties, and such designation shall be honored by the Parties receiving that information.

(d) Parent and its Affiliates shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions that are customarily and reasonably undertaken to obtain CFIUS Approval so as to enable the Closing to occur, including submitting a draft and final joint voluntary notice, if necessary, in accordance with Section 7.05(a) and providing all such assurances as may be customarily and reasonably necessary to address national security (including entering into a mitigation agreement, letter of assurance, national security agreement, or other similar arrangement or agreement), law enforcement, and public safety interests in relation to any services offered by the Company or its Subsidiaries or facilities owned or leased by the Company or its Subsidiaries, provided that such actions (i) do not require Parent or any of its Affiliates to act or refrain from acting in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Parent’s ownership, management or control of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or result in any personal civil or criminal liability for the individual who is the ultimate beneficial owner of a controlling interest in Parent, (ii) do not relate to the assets or businesses of Parent or any of its Affiliates that are held apart from the Company except insofar and to the extent that such assets or businesses of Parent or any of its Affiliates that are held apart from the Company would have Contracts or understandings to use or hold assets (including information) or businesses of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (iii) do not relate to the assets or business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Parent or any of its Affiliates to the extent those assets and businesses do not involve interstate commerce in the United States.

Section 7.06 Control of the Company’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct any of the operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

Section 7.07 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall take all steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the Contemplated Transactions by each officer or director who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 7.08 Confidentiality. The terms of the letter agreement, dated as of August 22, 2019 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between the Equity Investors and the Company shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

46

Section 7.09 Further Actions. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law (other than with respect to the matters covered in Section 7.05, which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 7.05) to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the Termination Date).

Section 7.10 Employee Matters.

In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all Parent Benefit Plans to the extent coverage under such Parent Benefit Plan is comparable to a Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Closing Date (provided that in the case of any insured arrangement such waivers shall be subject to the consent of the applicable insurer and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent); and (ii) for purposes of each Parent Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision, disability, life insurance and/or other welfare benefits to any

Continuing Employee (collectively, the “Parent Welfare Plans”): (A) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing conditions, exclusions or limitations, eligibility waiting periods and actively-at-work requirements of such Parent Welfare Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents; and (B) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by each Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Company Plan ending on the date such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding Parent Welfare Plan begins to be taken into account under such Parent Welfare Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, co-payment, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Parent Welfare Plan.

(c) This Section 7.10 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 7.10, express or implied, shall confer upon any Company Employee, any beneficiary, or any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 7.10. Nothing contained herein, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement, or arrangement; (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify, or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement, or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored, or maintained by any of them; or (iii) shall prevent the Surviving Corporation, Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates from terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee following the Effective Time. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 7.10 shall not create any right in any Company Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with the Surviving Corporation, Parent, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever, or otherwise alters any existing at-will employment relationship between any Company Employee and the Surviving Corporation.

Subject to the fiduciary duties of the Company Board and except in any litigation or Proceeding where the Parties may be adverse to each other, the Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate, subject to a customary joint defense agreement, in (but not control) the defense or settlement of any Transaction Litigation, and the Company shall not settle, agree to any undertakings or approve or otherwise agree to any waiver that may be sought in connection with such Transaction Litigation, without the prior written consent of the Parent.

The failure of any Party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Parent and the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment, delegation or other transfer of rights under this Agreement shall relieve the assignor of any Liability or obligation hereunder.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the words “hereof,” “hereby” and “herein” and words of similar meaning when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular Article, Section or provision hereof. Except when used together with the word “either” or otherwise for the purpose of identifying mutually exclusive alternatives, the term “or” has the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” With regard to each and every term and condition of this Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that, if at any time the Parties desire or are required to interpret or construe any such term or condition or any agreement or instrument subject thereto, no consideration shall be given to the issue of which Party actually prepared, drafted or requested any term or condition of this

57

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Disclosure Letters or in this Agreement, the information and disclosures contained in any Section of a Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in each other Section of such Disclosure Letter as though fully set forth in such other Section to the extent the relevance of such information to such other Section is reasonably apparent on its face notwithstanding the omission of a reference or a cross-reference with respect thereto and notwithstanding any reference to a Section of such Disclosure Letter in this Agreement. Certain items and matters are listed in the Disclosure Letters for informational purposes only and may not be required to be listed therein by the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall the listing of items or matters in a Disclosure Letter be deemed or interpreted to broaden, or otherwise expand the scope of, the representations and warranties or covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement. No reference to, or disclosure of, any item or matter in any Section of this Agreement or any Section of a Disclosure Letter shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or matter is material or that such item or matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in this Agreement or in such Disclosure Letter. Without limiting the foregoing, no reference to, or disclosure of, a possible breach or violation of any Contract, Applicable Law or Governmental Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that a breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

This Agreement (including the Disclosure Letters) and any other agreements contemplated hereby, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 10.09 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts (including by PDF), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party hereto.

Section 10.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by federal law and by the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof).

Section 10.11 Dispute Resolution, Consent to Jurisdiction. Any Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions shall be brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware), and each of the Parties hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such Proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any such Proceeding may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the State of Delaware. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Parties agrees that service of process upon such Party at the address referred to in Section 10.02 (or such other address as may be specified in accordance with Section 10.02) shall be deemed effective service of process upon such Party. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING (INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10.11.

Section 10.12 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The application of such invalid or unenforceable provision to Persons or circumstances other than

59

those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is determined to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or determined to be impermissible by any Governmental Authority, each of the Parties agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to substitute one or more valid, legal and enforceable provisions that, insofar as practicable, implement the purposes and intent of the prohibited, unenforceable, or impermissible provision.

Section 10.13 Captions. The captions herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof.

Section 10.14 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by such Party and that any such breach would cause the other Parties irreparable harm. Accordingly, each Party also agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement by such Party, the other Parties shall be entitled to equitable relief without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, and without proof of actual damages, including in the form of injunctions and orders for specific performance, in addition to all other remedies available to such other Parties at law or in equity. The Parties agree that they will not contest the appropriateness of specific performance as a remedy.

Section 10.15 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except (i) as provided in Section 7.04 as hereof (which shall be to the benefit of the parties referred to in such Section), (ii) the rights of the Company as an express third-party beneficiary of the Equity Commitment Letter, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their permitted assigns and respective successors and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.16 Non-Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or otherwise, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, may only be made against the Persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement in their capacities as such and no Related Party of any party hereto, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim (whether at law or equity, in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, with respect to, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or with respect to any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith; provided, that, the foregoing will not limit the rights of the parties to the Equity Financing under the Equity Commitment Letter. Without limiting the rights of any party against the other parties, in no event shall the Company, Parent or any other party to this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non-Recourse Party; provided, that, the foregoing will not limit the rights of the parties to the Equity Financing under the Equity Commitment Letter.

Section 10.17 Parent Guarantor.

(a) Parent Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (the “Parent Guarantee”) to the Company the performance of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement, including payment of the Purchase Price (the “Guaranteed Obligation”). The Parent Guarantee is one of payment, not collection, and a separate action, suit, claim, investigation or other legal proceeding to enforce the Parent Guarantee may be brought and prosecuted against Parent Guarantor, irrespective of whether any such action, suit, claim, investigation or other legal proceeding is brought against the Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person or whether Parent, Merger Sub and/or any other Person is joined in any such action, suit, claim, investigation or other legal proceeding. The liability of Parent Guarantor under the Parent Guarantee shall, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (i) the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement against Parent or Merger Sub; (ii) any release or discharge of any obligation of Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement resulting from any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Parent, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Parent or any of its assets; (iii) any amendment or modification of this Agreement, or any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligation or any other obligation of Parent or Merger Sub hereunder, any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to, any departure from the terms of this Agreement or the documents entered into in connection herewith; or (iv) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Parent Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of Parent Guarantor as a matter of law or equity, other than any defenses under this Agreement available to Parent or Merger Sub; provided, however, that Parent Guarantor shall in all events have the benefit of any rights (including defenses) to which Parent or Merger Sub would be entitled under this Agreement, other than those described in clause (ii) above. The Guaranteed Obligation under the Parent Guarantee shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon the Parent Guarantee. When the Company is pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against Parent Guarantor, the Company shall be under no obligation to pursue any rights and remedies it may have against Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person for the Guaranteed Obligation , and any failure by the Company to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person shall not relieve Parent Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies of the Company, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law. The Company shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Guaranteed Obligation in the event that Parent, Merger Sub or Parent Guarantor becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Company to so file shall not affect the Parent Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. In the event that any payment to the Company in respect of the Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned in the event of any insolvency proceeding, the Parent Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Guaranteed Obligation as if such payment has not been made. The Parent Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance, presentment, demand, protest and any notice in respect of the Parent Guarantee not provided for herein. So long as the Parent Guarantee remains in full force and effect, in the event the Parent Guarantor or any of its successors or assigns (x) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (y) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Parent Guarantor shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 10.17. The Parent Guarantor has

61

the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligation hereunder to pay, when and if due, the Guaranteed Obligation. The execution, and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance by the Parent Guarantor of its obligation to pay, when and if due, the Guaranteed Obligation, have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Parent Guarantor, and no other action is necessary on the part of the Parent Guarantor to authorize this Agreement or the payment, when due, of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Parent Guarantor and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by each other party hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Parent Guarantor, enforceable against the Parent Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by (1) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and (2) general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(b) The Parent Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on the Parent Guarantor until (x) the deposit of the Per Share Merger Consideration at Closing pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof at which time the Parent Guarantee shall automatically terminate and shall have no further force and effect, and shall no longer be binding on Parent Guarantor or (y) in the event that this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing pursuant to Section 9.01, the later of (i) ninety (90) days from the date of such termination and (ii) the final, non-appealable and conclusive resolution of any and all claims brought under this Agreement.

The corporation shall indemnify any person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding (as hereinafter defined) by reason of the fact that he or she (i) is or was a director or officer of the corporation or (ii) while a director or officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Such right shall be a contract right and as such shall run to the benefit of any director or officer who is elected and accepts the position of director or officer of the corporation or elects to continue to serve as a director or officer of the corporation while this Article VIII is in effect. Any repeal or amendment of this Article VIII shall be prospective only and shall not limit the rights of any such director or officer or the obligations of the corporation with respect to any claim arising from or related to the services of such director or officer in any of the foregoing capacities prior to any such repeal or amendment to this Article VIII. Such right shall include the right to be paid by the corporation expenses incurred in investigating or defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder is not paid in full by the corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim.

In the event of the death of any person having a right of indemnification under the foregoing provisions, such right shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators, and personal representatives. The rights conferred above shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, bylaw, resolution of stockholders or directors, agreement, or otherwise. As used herein, the term “proceeding” means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit, or proceeding, and any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit, or proceeding.
