THE TRANSACTION

Section 2.01 The Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely by the exchange of documents by electronic transmission on the date which is three (3) Business Days after the date on which all conditions set forth in Section 7.01, Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 shall have been satisfied or waived (if such waiver is permissible hereunder or under Applicable Law) (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction

16

or waiver of such conditions) or such other time, place and date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree in writing; provided, that notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions set forth in Section 7.01, Section 7.02 and Section 7.03, in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub be required to effect the Closing prior to the forty-fifth (45th) day after the date of this Agreement unless otherwise agreed by Parent in writing in its sole discretion. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

Section 2.02 The Merger.

(a) Contemporaneously with, or as promptly as practicable after the Closing, the parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”) a certificate of merger in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Merger”) and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL in order to consummate the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at the time the Certificate of Merger has been filed with the Delaware Secretary of State or such later time as is stated therein (the “Effective Time”). As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall automatically cease and the Company shall continue its existence as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent under the Laws of the State of Delaware. The Company, in its capacity as the corporation surviving the Merger, is sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the “Surviving Corporation.”

(b) The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all rights, privileges, powers, properties and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, and all of the obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) At the Effective Time, (i) the certificate of incorporation of the Company in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated in its entirety in the form of the certificate of incorporation attached to the Certificate of Merger, which shall be the form of the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be the name of the Company and provisions naming the initial board of directors or relating to the incorporator shall be omitted), and as so amended shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, and (ii) the bylaws of the Company in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated in their entirety in the form of the bylaws of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be the name of the Company), and as so amended shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, in each case, until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and as provided in such certificate of incorporation or bylaws; provided, in each case, that the references to Merger Sub’s name shall be replaced by references to “Model N, Inc.”.

17

(d) Subject to Section 6.16, from and after the Effective Time, unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation and, unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, in each case, to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their death, resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be.

ARTICLE III

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

Section 3.01 Effect of Merger on Capital Stock.

(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or their respective stockholders or any other Person, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (but excluding any Cancelled Shares and any Dissenting Shares) shall be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $30.00 per share of Company Common Stock (such amount of cash, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.01(e), is hereinafter referred to as the “Merger Consideration”), payable to the holder thereof, without interest, in accordance with Section 3.02.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, all of the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article III shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (each, a “Certificate”) and each holder of a non-certificated share of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry (each, a “Book-Entry Share”), in each case, outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time previously representing any such shares of Company Common Stock shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities, except the right to receive, upon surrender of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 3.02, the Merger Consideration, without interest.

(c) Cancellation of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock that are owned directly by Parent, Merger Sub, any of their wholly owned Subsidiaries or any Subsidiary of the Company, immediately prior to the Effective Time or held in treasury of the Company (the “Cancelled Shares”) shall, by virtue of the Merger, and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, automatically be cancelled, extinguished and retired without any conversion thereof and shall cease to exist, and shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto and shall no longer be outstanding, and no payment shall be made in respect thereof.

(d) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into and become one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

18

(e) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, any stock dividend or stock distribution thereon with a record date during such period or any other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be equitably adjusted to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.01(e) shall be construed to permit any action that is otherwise prohibited or restricted by any other provision of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 6.01(a)).

Section 3.02 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a nationally recognized financial institution (the identity and terms of appointment of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time represented by a Certificate and each Book-Entry Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case, other than the Cancelled Shares and except for any Dissenting Shares. Prior to or substantially concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited (i) with the Paying Agent, an aggregate amount of cash that, when taken together with cash available on the Company’s balance sheet that is deposited with the Paying Agent at the Effective time, is sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration required to be paid by the Paying Agent in accordance with this Agreement (such cash shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund”) and (ii) with the Company, cash in an amount sufficient for the Company to pay the aggregate Vested RSU Consideration in accordance with this Agreement (such cash shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Compensatory Vested Award Fund”); provided that the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, at the written request of Parent, deposit with the Paying Agent at the Closing such portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration, or fund such portion of the aggregate Vested RSU Consideration from the Company Cash on Hand as specified in such request. In the event the Exchange Fund or the Compensatory Vested Award Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments in connection with the Merger contemplated by Section 3.01 or Section 3.05, respectively, Parent shall promptly deposit or cause to be deposited additional funds with the Paying Agent or the Company, as applicable, in an amount that is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make the applicable payment. The Paying Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the aggregate Merger Consideration contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 3.01 out of the Exchange Fund. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Vested RSU Consideration contemplated to be paid pursuant to Section 3.05 out of the Compensatory Vested Award Fund. The Exchange Fund and the Compensatory Vested Award Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event not later than the third (3^rd) Business Day following the Effective Time), Parent will direct the Paying Agent to send to each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (other than the Cancelled Shares and except for any Dissenting Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal (which

19

shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or customary and effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, to the Paying Agent) in such form as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, for use in effecting delivery of shares of Company Common Stock to the Paying Agent, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or customary and effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, in exchange for the Merger Consideration in such form as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree.

(c) Upon the surrender of a Certificate (or delivery of a customary affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or a Book-Entry Share, as applicable, for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with a letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions or by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay in exchange therefor, as promptly as practicable, the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, and the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the appropriate amount of Merger Consideration may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer (and accompanied by all documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent) or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share.

(d) Registered Holders. If any cash payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition of such payment that the Person requesting such payment shall pay, or cause to be paid, any Transfer Taxes required by reason of the making of such cash payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

(e) No Transfers; No Further Ownership. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Capital Stock. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, they shall be automatically cancelled and exchanged for the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article III.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund deposited with the Paying Agent that corresponds to Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent upon demand. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock after the date which is one (1) year following the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand. Any holder of shares of Company

20

Common Stock who has not exchanged his, her or its shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with this Section 3.02 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of any Merger Consideration in respect of such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock. Other than any Transfer Taxes described in Section 3.02(d), Parent shall pay all charges and expenses of the Paying Agent in connection with the exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Paying Agent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Person, including any holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Compensatory Awards, including for any Merger Consideration or Vested RSU Consideration that is required to be delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by former holders of Company Common Stock two (2) years after the Closing Date, or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to the time at which 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 (and their successors, assigns or personal representatives) previously entitled thereto.

(g) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation; provided that (i) no such investment shall relieve Parent or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article III, and following any losses Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock in the amount of such losses, (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) such investments shall be 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 $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available). Any interest, gain or other income produced by such investments will be payable to Parent or its designee as directed by Parent.

(h) All Merger Consideration, Vested RSU Consideration, Unvested RSU Converted Cash Consideration, and Unvested PRSU Converted Cash Consideration issued or paid upon conversion of the Company Common Stock, the Vested Company RSU Awards, the Unvested Company RSU Awards, or the Company PRSU Awards, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock, Vested Company RSU Awards, Unvested Company RSU Awards, or Company PRSU Awards, as the case may be.

Section 3.03 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Paying Agent, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration, without interest, to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate as contemplated by this Article III; provided, however, that the Paying Agent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such amount, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide a bond in a customary amount.

21

Section 3.04 Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, its Subsidiaries and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement, including consideration payable to any holder or former holder of Company Compensatory Awards, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment pursuant to the Code or under any applicable provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. Parent and Merger Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior notice to the Company of any such deduction or withholding (other than (a) withholding because of the compensatory nature of the applicable payment or (b) U.S. backup withholding) and shall reasonably cooperate with the Company to minimize or eliminate such deduction or withholding to the extent permitted by Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely and properly paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, its Subsidiaries or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 3.05 Treatment of Company Compensatory Awards.

(a) Company RSU Awards.

(i) Vested Company RSU Awards. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company RSU Award that is vested at the Effective Time (but not yet settled) or that vests as a result of the consummation of transactions contemplated by this agreement (a “Vested Company RSU Award”) shall, by virtue of the Merger, automatically and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest), equal to (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Vested Company RSU Awards immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration (the “Vested RSU Consideration”). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Vested RSU Consideration, less any applicable withholding Taxes, to each holder of a Vested Company RSU Award through the payroll system of the Surviving Corporation as soon as practicable following the Closing Date (and in no event later than the next regularly scheduled payroll run of the Surviving Corporation that is at least five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date).

(ii) Unvested Company RSU Awards. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company RSU Award that is not a Vested Company RSU Award (an “Unvested Company RSU Award”) shall, by virtue of the Merger, automatically and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into a contingent right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation an aggregate amount in cash (without interest) (each such amount in cash, as applied to each Company Compensatory Award, a “Converted Cash Award”), equal to (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested Company RSU Awards immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the

22

Merger Consideration (the “Unvested RSU Converted Cash Consideration”). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.05(a)(ii), each such Converted Cash Award assumed and converted pursuant to this Section 3.05(a)(ii) shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including vesting and forfeiture) as applied to the corresponding Unvested Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Surviving Corporation shall pay any portion of such Unvested RSU Converted Cash Consideration that vests to the applicable holder thereof, less any applicable withholding Taxes, no later than the second (2nd) regularly scheduled payroll date following the date on which such portion vests.

(b) Company PRSU Awards. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company PRSU Award shall, by virtue of the Merger, automatically and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into a Converted Cash Award with respect to an amount equal to (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company PRSU Awards immediately prior to the Effective Time (with the performance metrics deemed achieved as set forth in Section 6.01(a)(vi) of the Company Disclosure Letter) multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration (the “Unvested PRSU Converted Cash Consideration”). Each such Converted Cash Award assumed and converted pursuant to this Section 3.05(b) shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including time vesting and forfeiture conditions, but excluding any performance conditions) as applied to the corresponding Company PRSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Surviving Corporation shall pay any portion of such Unvested PRSU Converted Cash Consideration that vests to the applicable holder thereof, less any applicable withholding Taxes, no later than the second (2nd) regularly scheduled payroll date following the date on which such portion vests.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof and in any event prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company Stock Plans) shall adopt such resolutions as are necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company Compensatory Awards pursuant to this Section 3.05.

Section 3.06 Treatment of ESPP. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the ESPP) shall take such actions (to the extent not already taken prior to the date of this Agreement) as may be required to provide that, with respect to the ESPP, (a) participation following the date of this Agreement shall be limited to those employees who participated in the ESPP immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (b) participants participating in any offering period or purchase period in progress on the date hereof may not (i) increase their payroll deductions or purchase elections from those in effect immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or (ii) make separate non-payroll contributions to the ESPP on or following the date hereof, (c) no new offering period shall commence, nor shall any existing offering period be extended, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (d) any offering period under the ESPP that otherwise would be outstanding as of the Effective Time to be terminated on the day immediately prior to the day on which the Effective Time occurs, (e) each participant’s outstanding right to purchase shares of Company Common Stock under the ESPP shall be exercised no later than the day immediately prior to the day on which the Effective Time occurs (if not earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the ESPP) (provided that remaining amounts allocated to each participant’s account under the ESPP as of such date shall be returned to the participant by the Company pursuant to the terms of the ESPP) and (f) the ESPP shall terminate no later than immediately prior to the Effective Time (but subject to the consummation of the Merger).

23

Section 3.07 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to each share of Company Common Stock held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and has not effectively withdrawn or lost its rights to appraisal (each such share, a “Dissenting Share”), if any, such Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into a right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.01 and the holders thereof shall be entitled to such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment for such shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall receive payment therefor from the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the DGCL; provided, however, that (a) if any holder of Dissenting Shares, under the circumstances permitted by and in accordance with the DGCL, effectively withdraws or loses (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to dissent or its right for appraisal of such Dissenting Shares, (b) if any holder of Dissenting Shares fails to establish his, her or its entitlement to appraisal rights as provided in the DGCL or (c) if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such holder or holders (as the case may be) shall forfeit the right to appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock under Section 262 of the DGCL, and such shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon cease to constitute Dissenting Shares, and each such share of Company Common Stock shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, thereafter be deemed to have been automatically converted into and to have become, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive, without interest thereon, the Merger Consideration. The Company will give Parent prompt written notice of all written demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, withdrawals or attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments, notices or demands served pursuant to pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal under the DGCL, approve any withdrawal of any such demands or propose or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing. Parent shall have the right to participate in, control and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.

Each of Parent and Merger Sub is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has all limited liability company or corporate power, as applicable, and authority required to carry on its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to have such power and authority would not reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions. Each of Parent and Merger Sub is duly qualified to do business as a foreign company or corporation, as applicable, and, where such concept is recognized, is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions.

Section 5.02 Authorization.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub has all requisite limited liability company or corporate power, as applicable, and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the Transactions. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Parent and Merger Sub (subject, with respect to Merger Sub, only to approval by its sole stockholder), and no other limited liability company or corporate, as applicable, proceedings on the part of Parent and Merger Sub are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement or for each of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions (other than, with respect to the Merger, the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State). Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent and Merger Sub and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

Parent, acting in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, will immediately after execution hereof approve and adopt this Agreement.

46

Section 5.03 Governmental Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the Transactions require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority other than (a) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State, (b) compliance with and filings or notifications under any applicable requirements of the Antitrust Laws, (c) compliance with any applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any other applicable U.S. state or federal securities, takeover or “blue sky” Laws, including the filing of the Proxy Statement, (d) compliance with any applicable rules of NYSE, and (e) where failure to take any such actions or filings would not reasonably be expected to materially impair or delay the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions.

Section 5.04 Non-Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement, the consummation by each of Parent or Merger Sub of the Transactions and the compliance by each of Parent or Merger Sub with any of the provisions of this Agreement does not and will not (a) contravene, conflict with or result in any violation or breach of any provision of the certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement, certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or other comparable organizational documents) of Parent or Merger Sub, (b) assuming the consents, approvals, authorizations and filings referred to in Section 5.03 have been obtained or made, any applicable waiting periods referred to therein have terminated or expired and any condition precedent to any such consent has been satisfied or waived, contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any Applicable Law or (c) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 5.03, require any consent by any Person under, constitute a default, or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, under, or cause or permit the termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation or the loss of any benefit to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled under any Contract, except in the case of clauses (b) and (c) above, any such violation, breach, default, right, termination, amendment, acceleration, cancellation or loss that would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair or delay the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions.

Section 5.05 Litigation. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent or Merger Sub, threatened, lawsuits, actions, suits, claims or other proceedings at law or in equity or investigations before or by any Governmental Authority against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions. There is no unsatisfied judgment or any open injunction binding upon Parent or any of its Subsidiaries which would reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions.

Section 5.06 No Brokers. There is no investment banker, broker, finder or other financial intermediary that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of any of Parent or its Subsidiaries who will be entitled to any fee or commission from Parent or its Subsidiaries, including Merger Sub, in connection with the Transactions where such fee would be payable by the Company should this Agreement be terminated in accordance with Section 8.01.

47

Section 5.07 Ownership of Company Capital Stock. As of the date hereof, none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantor or any of their respective directors, officers or general partners “own” (within the meaning of Section 203 of the DGCL) or have, within the last three (3) years, “owned” any shares of Company Common Stock (or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock).

Section 5.08 Financial Capacity. Parent has delivered to the Company a true and complete copy of the executed equity commitment letter dated as of the date hereof (the “Equity Commitment Letter”) from the Guarantor to provide to Parent on the Closing Date the Equity Financing in cash in an aggregate amount of at least $1,269,638,085 which Equity Commitment Letter provides that the Company is an express third party beneficiary thereto. The Equity Commitment Letter has not been amended or modified prior to the date of this Agreement. The aggregate proceeds of the Equity Financing and Company Cash on Hand will be sufficient to finance (a) the payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration and Vested RSU Consideration to which holders of Company Common Stock and Company RSU Awards will be entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement, (b) the payment of the amounts due upon the election of holders to convert (including any make-whole with respect thereto) their Convertible Notes in connection with the Transactions pursuant to the Convertible Notes Indentures and to repurchase the Convertible Notes as required pursuant to Article 15 of the Convertible Notes Indentures and (c) the payment of all fees and expenses, in the case of each of clauses (a) through (c), to the extent required to be paid by Parent or Merger Sub in cash at the Closing Date in connection with the consummation of the Transactions. As of the date of this Agreement, (i) the commitments contained in the Equity Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect, and (ii) the Equity Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and represents valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Parent and each other party thereto (subject to the Enforceability Exceptions) to provide the financing contemplated thereby subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the Financing Conditions. Assuming performance by the Company and its Affiliates of their respective obligations under this Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a material breach or default on the part of Parent or any other party thereto under any term of the Equity Commitment Letter which would reasonably be expected to materially impair or adversely affect the Equity Financing. As of the date of this Agreement, Parent has no reason to believe that it or any other party thereto will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term of the Equity Commitment Letter. As of the date of this Agreement, except as set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter, there are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Equity Financing other than the Financing Conditions. As of the date of this Agreement, Parent has no reason to believe that (i) any of the Financing Conditions will not be satisfied or (ii) the Equity Financing will not be made available to Parent on the Closing Date. Parent and Merger Sub expressly agree and acknowledge that their obligations hereunder, including Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger, are not subject to, or conditioned on, Parent’s or Merger Sub’s receipt of financing.

Section 5.09 Solvency. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is entering into the Transactions with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of any Acquired Company. Parent and Merger Sub, on a consolidated basis, are solvent as of the date of the Closing Date. Assuming (a) the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in Article IV (without giving effect to any “material”, “materiality”, “Company Material Adverse Effect”,

48

“knowledge” or similar qualifiers or exceptions contained therein), (b) that any estimates, projections or forecasts prepared by or on behalf of the Acquired Companies have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that were at the time such estimates, projections or forecasts were furnished to Parent, and continue to be, reasonable, (c) the Company complies in all material respects with its obligations under this Agreement, (d) the Acquired Companies, taken as a whole, are solvent immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (e) satisfaction of the conditions to the Parent and Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the Merger, and each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation will, after giving effect to all of the Transactions, including the payment of any amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and the payment of all related fees and expenses, be solvent at and immediately after the Effective Time. As used in this Section 5.09, the term “solvent” means, with respect to a particular date, that on such date, (a) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of Parent and Merger Sub and, after the Merger, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will exceed their debts, (b) each of Parent and Merger Sub and, after the Merger, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries have not incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as such debts mature, and (c) each of Parent and Merger Sub and, after the Merger, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, has sufficient capital and liquidity with which to conduct its business. For purposes of this Section 5.09, “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means any (i) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured, and (ii) any right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

Section 5.10 Ownership of Merger Sub; No Prior Activities. All of the authorized capital stock of Merger Sub consists of 1,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, all of which are validly issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Merger Sub are, and at the Effective Time will be, owned directly by Parent. Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the Transactions. Except for obligations or liabilities incurred in connection with or incidental to its formation and the Transactions, Merger Sub has not and will not prior to the Effective Time have incurred, directly or indirectly, any obligations or liabilities or engaged in any business activities of any type or kind whatsoever or entered into any agreements or arrangements with any Person.

Section 5.11 Company Arrangements. Other than agreements with the Company, including this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, as of the date hereof, none of Parent or Merger Sub, or their respective executive officers, directors or Affiliates, has entered into any Contract, agreement, formal or informal arrangement or understanding (whether or not binding) with any of the stockholders, officers, directors, or employees of the Acquired Companies (a) relating in any way to (i) this Agreement or the Merger or (ii) the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, businesses or operations (including as to continuing employment) from and after the Closing or (b) pursuant to which any (i) such holder of shares of Company Capital Stock would be entitled to receive consideration of a different amount or nature than the Merger Consideration in respect of such holder’s shares of Company Capital Stock; (ii) such holder of shares of Company Capital Stock has agreed to approve this Agreement or vote against any Superior Proposal; or (iii) such stockholder, officer, director, or employee of the Acquired Companies has agreed to provide, directly or indirectly, equity investment to the Parent Parties or the Company to finance any portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration or Vested RSU Consideration.

49

Section 5.12 No Exclusive Arrangements. As of the date of this Agreement, none of the Guarantor, Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates has entered into any Contract, arrangement or understanding expressly prohibiting any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt financing from providing or seeking to provide debt financing to any Person in connection with a transaction relating to the Acquired Companies in connection with the Merger.

Section 5.13 No Additional Representations and Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article IV or in any certificate to be delivered by the Company in connection with this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives makes, and Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that they have not relied upon or otherwise been induced by, any other express or implied representation or warranty by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to any other information provided or made available to Parent or Merger Sub by or on behalf of any of the Company in connection with the Transactions, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives in certain “data rooms” or management presentations in expectation of the Transactions.

(c) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.02 (including Section 6.02(d)), the Company Board shall not (i) withhold, withdraw, modify, or propose publicly to withhold, withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation; (ii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement or fail to recommend against any Acquisition Proposal subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act in any solicitation or recommendation statement made on Schedule 14D-9 within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of a tender offer providing for such Acquisition Proposal; (iii) authorize, adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to authorize, adopt, approve or recommend, or otherwise declare advisable (publicly or otherwise) any Acquisition Proposal; (iv) following receipt by the Company of an Acquisition Proposal, fail to reaffirm publicly the Company Board Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days after Parent requests in writing that the Company Board Recommendation be reaffirmed publicly, provided that Parent may only request two (2) reaffirmations with respect to each such individual Acquisition Proposal (provided that any Acquisition Proposal that is modified in any material respect shall be considered a new and separate Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 6.02(c)); (v) make any recommendation in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer other than a recommendation

55

against such offer or a customary “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act (any of the actions described in clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 6.02(c), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (vi) authorize, cause or permit the Company to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.02, with respect to any Superior Proposal, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Company Stockholder Approval, but not after, the Company Board shall be permitted, so long as such Superior Proposal did not result from a breach of this Section 6.02 and subject to compliance with this Section 6.02(d) and Article IX in all respects, (x) to terminate this Agreement to concurrently enter into a definitive Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal pursuant to Section 8.01(h) and/or (y) to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Superior Proposal. The Company Board shall only be entitled to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h) if, prior to the time the Required Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, but not after:

(i) (A) a bona fide Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of Section 6.02 is made to the Company by a Third Party following the date hereof that has not been withdrawn; (B) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to Applicable Law; (C) the Company has provided, at least four (4) Business Days in advance, a written notice (a “Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change”) to Parent that the Company intends to take such action in response to a Superior Proposal (it being understood that the delivery of a Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change and any amendment or update thereto and the determination to so deliver such notice, amendment or update will not, by itself, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), which notice includes, as applicable, the reasons for the Adverse Recommendation Change, including written notice of the material terms of such Superior Proposal which enabled the Company Board, as applicable, to make the determination that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, the identity of the Person who made such Superior Proposal and which notice shall attach the most current unredacted version of the relevant transaction agreements, and, if applicable, copies of all relevant documents relating thereto including any related financing commitments; (D) during the four (4) Business Day period following the time of Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall have, and shall have caused its directors, officers, employees and Representatives to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter and Guaranty so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, including permitting Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent that Parent requests to make such a presentation); and (E) following the end of the four (4) Business Day period described in the preceding clause (D), the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, taking into account

56

any changes to this Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter and Guaranty irrevocably offered in writing by Parent in response to the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that failing to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to Applicable Law; provided, however, that in the event that the Acquisition Proposal to which this provision applies is thereafter modified in any material respect (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any modification to the financial terms) by the party making such Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall provide written notice of and the material terms with respect to such modified Acquisition Proposal to Parent and shall again comply with this Section 6.02(d)(i) and provide Parent with an additional two (2) Business Days’ notice prior to effecting any Adverse Recommendation Change or effecting a termination pursuant to Section 8.01(h) (and shall do so for each such subsequent amendment or modification).

(ii) (A) an Intervening Event has occurred; (B) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial and outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change of the type described in Section 6.02(c)(i) and Section 6.02(c)(ii) in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; (C) prior to effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company Board has provided, at least four (4) Business Days’ advance written notice (a “Notice of Intervening Event”) to Parent that the Company intends to take such action (it being understood that the delivery of a Notice of Intervening Event and any amendment or update thereto and the determination to so deliver such notice, amendment or update will not, by itself, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), which notice includes reasonably detailed information describing the Intervening Event and the reasons for the Company taking such action; (D) during such four (4) Business Day period following the time of Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Intervening Event, the Company shall have, and shall have caused its directors, officers, employees and Representatives to, and shall have used reasonable best efforts to cause its other Representatives to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter and Guaranty in response to such Intervening Event, including permitting Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent that Parent requests to make such a presentation); (E) following the end of such four (4) Business Day period described in the preceding clause (D), the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, taking into account any changes to this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter and Guaranty irrevocably offered in writing by Parent in response to the Notice of Intervening Event, that the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided that if the Intervening Event to which this provision applies thereafter changes in any material respect or another Intervening Event occurs, the Company shall provide written notice of such modified or other Intervening Event to Parent and shall again comply with this Section 6.02(d)(ii) and provide Parent with an additional two (2) Business Days’ notice prior to effecting any Adverse Recommendation Change.

57

(e) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.01, (A) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) after (x) receipt of any Acquisition Proposal by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives or (y) any request for non-public information or inquiry or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated with, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives in connection with a potential Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall provide Parent with written notice, which notice shall include, in the case of clause (x), the identity of the Person making the Acquisition Proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof (including, if applicable, unredacted copies of any written documentation constituting the Acquisition Proposal, including proposed Alternative Acquisition Agreements and any related financing commitments), and in the case of clause (y) the identity of the Person seeking such information or discussions or negotiations, and (B) in the event that any such party modifies its Acquisition Proposal in any material respect, the Company shall provide Parent with written notice within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt of such modified Acquisition Proposal of the fact that such Acquisition Proposal has been modified and the terms of such modification or proposed modification (including, if applicable, unredacted copies of any written documentation reflecting such modification or proposed modification). Thereafter, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed in all material respects, on a reasonably prompt basis, of any material development with respect to the status of such Acquisition Proposal, including the provision to Parent of any material written materials (including material written correspondence and unredacted copies of any written agreements) received by the Company or its Representatives or sent by the Company and its Representatives to the party making such Acquisition Proposal. No notification provided pursuant to this Section 6.02(e) shall be deemed, in and of itself, to constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change. The Company agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality or other agreement which prohibits the Company from complying with this Section 6.02(e).

(f) Nothing in this Agreement will prohibit the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication); (ii) complying with Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; (iii) informing any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 6.02; or (iv) making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders (including regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Acquired Companies) that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined to make in good faith in order to comply with Applicable Law or stock exchange rule or listing agreement, it being understood that any such statement or disclosure made by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) pursuant to this Section 6.02(f) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company or the Company Board (or any committee thereof) and the rights of Parent under this Section 6.02, it being understood that nothing in the foregoing will be deemed to permit the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change other than in accordance with Section 6.02(d). In addition, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, a factually accurate public statement by the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof), to the extent

58

reasonably determined by the Company after consultation with outside counsel to be required by Applicable Law, that solely describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal and any related action taken by the Company in response (so long as such action is permitted by this Agreement) will not, in and of itself, be deemed an Adverse Recommendation Change, in each case, so long as the Company Board (or a committee thereof), expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation, or expressly states that it is not modifying or withdrawing the Company Board Recommendation, in such public statement.

(g) Any breach of this Section 6.02 by any director, officer or Subsidiary of the Company or any action by any Representative acting on the Company’s behalf in breach of this Section 6.02 will be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company.

Section 6.03 Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings.

(a) The Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law, including Antitrust Laws to consummate and make effective the Transactions as promptly as practicable, (ii) obtain from any Governmental Authorities any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required to be obtained by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or to avoid any Proceeding by any Governmental Authority (including those in connection with Antitrust Laws), in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions and (iii) (A) as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to this Agreement required under the HSR Act and (B) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to this Agreement required under any other Applicable Law. The Company and Parent shall furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing under the rules and regulations of any Applicable Law in connection with the Transactions. No party shall give consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or withdraw its notification and report form pursuant to the HSR Act or any other filing made pursuant to any other Antitrust Law unless the other party has given its prior written consent to such extension or delay, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that, Parent may withdraw and refile its Notification and Report Form initially filed pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions on one occasion, consistent with the procedure set forth in 16.C.F.R. 803.12, without obtaining the consent of the Company. Neither Parent nor the Company shall be entitled to make additional commitments to, or agreements with, Governmental Authorities to delay the Closing following the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act or any commitment to, or agreement with, any Governmental Authority not to close the Transactions before a certain date unless the other party shall have agreed to such commitment or agreement, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

59

(b) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.03, each party hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to (to the extent not prohibited by Governmental Authority or Applicable Law): (i) give the other parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request or Proceeding by or before any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger or any of the other Transactions; (ii) keep the other parties reasonably informed as to the status of any such request or Proceeding; (iii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication to or from any Governmental Authority regarding the approval of the Merger or any of the other Transactions; (iv) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any additional requests for information received by any party from any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions or filings contemplated by this Section 6.03; and (v) (A) obtain termination or expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act and (B) prevent the entry in any Proceeding brought by a Governmental Authority or any other Person of any Governmental Order which would prohibit, make unlawful or delay the consummation of the Transactions. To the extent not prohibited by Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, each party hereto will consult and reasonably cooperate with the other parties, provide each other with advance copies of and a reasonable opportunity to comment on, and will consider in good faith the views of the other parties in connection with any filing (except for HSR filings), analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted in connection with the Merger or any of the other Transactions; provided, however, that Parent shall make the final determination as to the appropriate course of action and determine the strategy and tactics for obtaining any necessary consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders from any Governmental Authority, and the Company shall take all reasonable actions to support Parent in connection therewith. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Authority or by Applicable Law, in connection with any such request, or Proceeding, each party hereto will permit Representatives of the other parties to be present at each meeting or conference, whether in-person, telephonic, or videoconference, relating to such request, or Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Authority in connection with such request, or Proceeding. Materials required to be provided pursuant to this section may be redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, (B) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, (C) as necessary to comply with applicable law, and (D) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns; provided that a party may reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to another party under this section as “Outside Counsel Only.”

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with obtaining any approval or consent related to any Applicable Law, Parent shall cooperate in good faith with the Governmental Authorities and shall undertake promptly any action reasonably necessary to complete lawfully the Transactions as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event prior to the End Date) and any and all action reasonably necessary or advisable to avoid, prevent, eliminate or remove the actual or threatened commencement of any Proceeding in any forum by or on behalf of any Governmental Authority or the issuance of any Governmental Order that would (or to obtain the agreement or consent of any Governmental Authority to the Transactions the absence of which would) delay, enjoin, prevent, restrain or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the Merger, including by (i) proffering and consenting and/or agreeing to a Governmental Order or other agreement providing for the sale, licensing or other disposition, or the holding separate of, or other limitations or restrictions on, or limiting any freedom of action with respect to, particular assets, categories of assets or lines of business of the Company, (ii) promptly effecting the disposition, licensing or holding separate of assets or lines of business of the Company, and (iii) contesting, defending and appealing any Proceeding, whether judicial or administrative,

60

challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, in each case, at such time as may be necessary to permit the lawful consummation of the Transactions on or prior to the End Date; provided, however, that Parent shall have no obligation to offer, negotiate, commit to or effect any actions contemplated by clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 6.03(c) (x) if such action would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Acquired Companies, taken as a whole, and (y) unless the effectiveness of such action is conditioned upon the Closing; provided, further, that Parent shall not be obligated to obtain “prior approval” or other affirmative approval from a Governmental Authority to carry out any future transaction, and shall not be required to agree to make any notification or provide prior notice to any Governmental Authority regarding any proposed transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.03(c) shall not be construed as binding Affiliates of Parent or Merger Sub.

(d) Parent shall be solely responsible for and pay all filing fees required in connection with obtaining any consents or approvals of the type described in this Section 6.03.

Section 6.04 Proxy Statement; Company Stockholder Meeting.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days) following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC a proxy statement in preliminary form, as required by the Exchange Act, relating to the Company Stockholder Meeting (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement”). Except as contemplated by Section 6.02, the Proxy Statement shall include the Company Board Recommendation with respect to the Merger. The Company shall promptly notify Parent upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC (or the staff of the SEC) with respect to the Proxy Statement or any request from the SEC (or the staff of the SEC) for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement, and shall promptly provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC (or the staff of the SEC), on the other hand. Each of the parties hereto shall respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments of the SEC (or the staff of the SEC) with respect to the Proxy Statement. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to comply as to form in all respects with the provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and shall cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be filed as promptly as reasonably practicable after the resolution of any comments of the SEC (or the staff of the SEC) with respect to the preliminary Proxy Statement (which resolution will be deemed to occur if the SEC has not affirmatively notified the Company prior to the end of the tenth (10th) calendar day after filing the preliminary Proxy Statement that the SEC will or will not be reviewing the Proxy Statement) and to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as of the record date established for the Company Stockholder Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date the definitive Proxy Statement is filed with the SEC. Prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC (or the staff of the SEC) with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to review such document or response; provided, however, that the Company may amend or supplement the Proxy Statement without the review or comment of Parent solely to the extent required to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.02.

61

(b) Parent shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, use reasonable best efforts to furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub as may reasonably be requested in writing by the Company in connection with the Proxy Statement, including such information concerning Parent and Merger Sub that is required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the Proxy Statement. Parent will, upon the written request of the Company, use commercially reasonable efforts to confirm and/or supplement the information relating to Parent or Merger Sub and supplied by Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, such that at the time of the mailing of the Proxy Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, and at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, the information provided by Parent with respect to Parent and Merger Sub shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact concerning Parent and Merger Sub or omit to state any material fact concerning Parent and Merger Sub 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) In accordance with the Company’s organizational documents and the requirements of NYSE, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but subject to the timing contemplated in Section 6.04(a)), (x) after the date hereof and in any event within three (3) Business Days after the date of this Agreement (and thereafter, upon the reasonable request of Parent), conduct a “broker search” in accordance with Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act assuming that, for such purposes only, the record date of the Company Stockholder Meeting will be twenty (20) Business Days after the date the broker search is conducted, (y) establish a record date for and give notice of a meeting of its stockholders, for the purpose of voting upon the adoption of this Agreement (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) and (z) mail to the holders of Company Common Stock as of the record date established for the Company Stockholder Meeting a Proxy Statement and all other proxy material (such date, the “Proxy Date”) and if necessary to comply with applicable securities Laws, after the Proxy Statement shall have been so mailed, promptly circulate amended, supplemental, or supplemented proxy material, and, if required in connection there with, re-solicit proxies. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to duly call, convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Date (and in no event later than the fortieth (40th) day following the first mailing of the Proxy Statement to the stockholders of the Company); provided, however, that the Company may postpone, recess or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting, and the Company shall postpone, recess or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting at the request of Parent in the event of clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 6.04(c): (i) with the consent of Parent, (ii) for the absence of a quorum, (iii) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Required Company Stockholder Approval, or (iv) after consultation with Parent to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and distribution of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) is necessary under Applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated to and reviewed by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting; provided, however that the Company may not postpone, recess or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 6.04(c) (x) more than two (2) times or (y) for more than ten (10) Business Days per occasion or twenty (20) Business Days in the aggregate, in each case, without Parent’s prior written consent. Once the Company has established the record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date without the prior written consent of Parent, unless required to do so by Applicable Law. In the event that the date of the Company Stockholder Meeting as originally

62

called is for any reason adjourned or postponed or otherwise delayed, the Company agrees that unless Parent shall have otherwise approved in writing, it shall, to the extent practicable, implement such adjournment or postponement or other delay in such a way that the Company does not establish a new record date for the Company Stockholders Meeting, as so adjourned, postponed or delayed. Unless the Company Board shall have effected an Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and to solicit the Required Company Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to hold the Company Stockholder Meeting if this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to, and in accordance, with Article VIII. Notwithstanding any Adverse Recommendation Change, unless this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to, and in accordance, with Article VIII, this Agreement shall be submitted to the holders of Company Capital Stock for the purpose of obtaining the Required Company Stockholder Approval as provided in Section 6.04(a) and this Section 6.04(c). Without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (i) the adoption of this Agreement, (ii) the stockholder advisory vote contemplated by Rule 14a-21(c) under the Exchange Act and (iii) adjournment of the Company Stockholder Meeting to solicit additional proxies shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the holders of Company Capital Stock at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

(d) If at any time prior to the Effective Time, (i) Parent discovers that the information provided by Parent to the Company concerning Parent or its Subsidiaries, officers or directors for use in the Proxy Statement, or (ii) the Company discovers that the Proxy Statement otherwise contains information that, in each case, (A) has become false and misleading and (B) the correction of which would require, in accordance with the Exchange Act, that an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement be filed with the SEC, then either Parent or the Company, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other party of this discovery, and the Company shall promptly file an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement to correct such information.

(e) The Company covenants and agrees that the Proxy Statement (including the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy and any other document incorporated or referenced therein, in each case including any amendments or supplements thereto) will not, at the date mailed to the Company’s stockholders and at the time of any meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held in connection with the Merger, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that no representation or warranty is made by the Company with respect to statements therein relating to Parent and its Affiliates, including Merger Sub, or based on information supplied by Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion in the Proxy Statement. The Proxy Statement (and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) will comply as to form in all respects with the provisions of the Exchange Act and any other applicable federal securities Laws.

(f) Parent covenants and agrees that the information supplied by Parent for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement with respect to Parent and Merger Sub (and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) will not, at the date mailed to the Company’s stockholders and at the time of the meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held in connection with the Merger, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein with respect to Parent and Merger Sub, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

Section 6.05 Access to Information. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, in such manner as to not unreasonably interfere in any material respect with the operation of the Acquired Companies, to their respective properties, offices, facilities, books, Contracts, commitments, Tax Returns, records and appropriate officers and employees of the Acquired Companies, and shall furnish such Representatives with financial and operating data and other information concerning the affairs of the Acquired Companies as such Representatives may reasonably request and is reasonably available to the Acquired Companies; provided, that such investigation shall only be upon reasonable notice and shall be at Parent’s sole cost and expense; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the foregoing shall not require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to permit access to (A) such documents or information that are reasonably pertinent to any pending Proceeding between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand (but without limiting any rights to discovery in any legal proceeding according to the applicable rules of the forum) or (B) subject to, and without limiting in any respect, the requirements of Section 6.02, any information to the extent related to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement or to proposals from third parties relating to any competing or alternative transactions (including Acquisition Proposals) and the actions of the Board of Directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) with respect to any of the foregoing; and (ii) that nothing herein shall require the Acquired Companies to permit any access or disclose any information to Parent or its Representatives if such disclosure would (i) result in the disclosure of trade secrets or other competitively sensitive information, (ii) violate Applicable Law or the Acquired Companies’ obligations pursuant to the provisions of any Contract (including any confidentiality agreement or similar agreement or arrangement) to which any Acquired Company is a party, (iii) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege held by the Acquired Companies, in each case, so long as the Company provides Parent written notice of any information so withheld and reasonably cooperates with Parent in seeking to allow disclosure of such information in a manner that does not conflict with the foregoing clauses; provided, further, that nothing herein shall authorize Parent or its Representatives to undertake any environmental testing involving sampling of soil, groundwater or building materials, or other similar invasive techniques at any of the Acquired Companies’ properties, except with the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All information obtained by Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. No investigation or access permitted pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company hereunder.

64

Section 6.06 Confidentiality; Public Announcements.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by Section 6.02(f) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Company or the Company Board under Section 6.02), prior to the earlier of (x) the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII or (y) the Closing, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions, and none of the parties or their Affiliates shall issue any such press release or public announcement prior to obtaining the other parties’ consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except that no such consent shall be necessary to the extent disclosure may (as determined by the Company in good faith following consultation with outside counsel) be required by Applicable Law or applicable stock exchange rule or any listing agreement of any party hereto (provided in each case that such party shall, to the extent legally permissible, use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party hereto, and give good faith consideration to any input received, prior to the time such disclosure is so required to be issued); provided, further, that the parties shall not be required by this Section 6.06 to provide any other party with such consultation or consent right relating to (i) any dispute solely between the parties relating to this Agreement, (ii) any statements, press releases, public disclosures or public statements previously approved by Parent or the Company in accordance with this Section 6.06 (to the extent still accurate) and which do not add additional material information not included in such previous approved statement, or (iii) subject to compliance with Section 6.02, any Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change or Superior Proposals. Parent will not be obligated to engage in the consultation contemplated in the foregoing sentence with respect to communications that are principally directed to its existing or prospective general or limited partners, equity holders, members and investors of Parent or its Affiliates, so long as such communications are consistent with prior communications previously agreed to by Parent and the Company in accordance with this Section 6.06 and which do not add additional material information not included in such previous communication. Before any document or other written communication prepared by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be publicly disclosed, posted or made accessible on the website of the Company (whether in written, video or oral form via webcast, hyperlink or otherwise), that is related to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, if reviewed by a stockholder of the Company, would reasonably be deemed to constitute a “solicitation” of “proxies” (in each case, as defined in Rule 14a-1 of the Exchange Act) with respect to the Merger (a “Merger Communication”) is (i) disseminated to any investor, analyst, member of the media, employee, client, customer or other Third Party or otherwise made accessible on the website of the Company or such participant (whether in written, video or oral form via webcast, hyperlink or otherwise), or (ii) utilized by any executive officer, key employee or advisor of the Company or any such participant, as a script in discussions or meetings with any such Third Parties, the Company shall (or shall cause any such participant to) reasonably determine in good faith whether that communication constitutes “soliciting material” that is required to be filed by Rule 14a-6(b) or Rule 14a-12(b) of the Exchange Act and shall promptly inform Parent of such determination. The Company shall (or shall cause any such participant to) consult with Parent before issuing any Merger Communication, and neither the Company nor any such participant shall issue any Merger Communication prior to obtaining Parent’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent and its counsel on any such Merger Communication.

(b) From and after the date hereof, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, no consent of the Company shall be required for any Person who is a potential source of, or may provide, equity, debt or any other type of financing for the transactions contemplated hereby to become a Representative (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) of Vista Equity Partners Management, LLC thereunder.

The Company and Parent shall cooperate in good faith to agree, promptly following the date hereof and in no event later than fourteen (14) days prior to the Closing, on a schedule for the repatriation of cash (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and would not result in the imposition of any material Taxes) in a commercially reasonable manner and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take the actions set forth on such schedule prior to the Closing. At the reasonable request of Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell all marketable securities of the Company then owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries reasonably proximate to the Closing Date so as to permit the net proceeds of such sale to be used by or at the direction of the Parent as a potential partial source for the payments contemplated by this Agreement, including the payment of expenses in connection with the Transactions or payments in respect of Company Compensatory Awards under Article III.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent agrees that it shall cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director, officer and employee of the Acquired Companies (a “D&O Indemnitee”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, investigation, or Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Acquired Companies, as the case may be, would have been permitted under or required by Applicable Law and their respective certificates of incorporation, bylaws, indemnification agreements as in effect on the date of this Agreement and that in each case have been made available to Parent (an “Indemnification Agreement”) or other organizational documents of the Acquired Companies in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify such person. Subject to the terms of any applicable Indemnification Agreement, the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to control any Proceeding for which it is required to indemnify any D&O Indemnitee pursuant to the foregoing sentence (it being understood that, by electing to control the defense thereof, the Surviving Corporation, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, will be deemed to have waived any right to object to the D&O Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto). Each D&O Indemnitee will be entitled to retain his or her own counsel, whether or not the Surviving Corporation elects to control the defense of any such Proceeding. Parent also agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation to promptly advance reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses as incurred by each D&O Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted under or required by Applicable Law and their respective certificates of incorporation, bylaws, Indemnification Agreements or other organizational documents of the Acquired Companies in effect on the date of this Agreement and made available to Parent prior to the date hereof upon receipt of a written undertaking by such Person or on such Person’s behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not permitted to be indemnified under Applicable Law, organizational documents of the Acquired Companies or Indemnification Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation (i) to maintain for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Time provisions in the Acquired Companies’ respective certificates of incorporation, bylaws and other organizational documents concerning the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of the D&O Indemnitees that are no less favorable to those

66

Persons than the provisions of Applicable Law and the certificates of incorporation, bylaws, Indemnification Agreements, and other organizational documents of the Acquired Companies, as applicable, in each case, as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) not to amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by Applicable Law.

(b) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those Persons who are currently covered by the Acquired Companies’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage; provided, however, that, in lieu of maintaining such insurance for a period of six (6) years, (i) the Company may, and (if the Company does not) Parent may cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause coverage to be extended under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining at or prior to the Closing Date a prepaid, non-cancelable six (6)-year “tail” policy (containing terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage) with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (a “Tail Policy”); provided, that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies pursuant to this sentence an aggregate or total premium amount in excess of 350% of the amount per annum the Company paid for such coverage in its last full fiscal year (the “Maximum Premium”). If no such Tail Policy is available for less than the Maximum Premium, then the Company or the Surviving Corporation may obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Premium from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier on the date hereof and if the Company or Surviving Corporation obtains such a Tail Policy, it shall be deemed to have satisfied in full the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.08(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 6.08 shall survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation. In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns 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 transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.08.

Section 6.09 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such actions as are required to cause the disposition of Company Common Stock, Company RSU Awards or other securities in connection with the Transactions by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

67

Section 6.10 Merger Litigation. The Company shall provide Parent’s counsel with prompt notice (email being sufficient) of, and copies of all pleading and correspondence relating to, and keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis regarding, any stockholder litigation or similar Proceeding against the Company or its directors or officers relating to the Transactions (the “Merger Litigation”), whether commenced prior to or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Company shall give Parent (a) the right to review and comment on all filings or responses to be made before such filings or responses are made by the Company in connection with the Merger Litigation (and the Company shall in good faith take such comments into account) and (b) the opportunity to participate, at its expense, in the defense or settlement of any such Merger Litigation, and the Company shall not settle, or offer to settle, any such Merger Litigation without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For purposes of this Section 6.10, “participate” means that Parent will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the Merger Litigation by the Company, and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such strategy, which the Company shall consider in good faith.

Section 6.11 Third Party Consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be obligated to bear any expense or pay any fee or grant any concession in connection with obtaining any consents, authorizations or approvals required in order to consummate the Transactions pursuant to the terms of any Contract or any Company License to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party. Prior to the Closing, at the written request of Parent, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consent under any Contract to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is a party to the extent required so that no default (or right of termination) exists or arises thereunder in connection with or as a result of or following the Merger.

Section 6.12 Notices of Certain Events. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent would be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, (ii) any written notice from any Person alleging that the approval or consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions, (iii) any Proceedings commenced or threatened in writing against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to this Agreement or the Transactions and (iv) such party becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of its failure to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, if and only to the extent that such untruth, inaccuracy, or failure would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VII to fail to be satisfied at the Closing (it being understood that no such notification will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of such party set forth in this Agreement); provided, however, that delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter prior to the date of this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to any party.

68

Section 6.13 Stock Exchange Delisting. The Surviving Corporation shall cause the Company’s securities to be de-listed from NYSE and de-registered under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time in compliance with Applicable Law, and prior to the Effective Time the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent with respect thereto.

Section 6.14 Merger Sub. Parent will take all actions necessary to (a) cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and (b) ensure that, prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall not conduct any business, or incur or guarantee any indebtedness or make any investments, other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.15 Conduct of Business by Parent Pending the Merger. Parent and Merger Sub covenant and agree that, between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Time and the date, if any, on which this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, unless the Company otherwise consents in writing, Parent and Merger Sub:

(a) shall not acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business of any Person or other business organization or division thereof if such business competes in any line of business of the Acquired Companies and the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to (i) prevent or impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorization, consent, order, declaration or approval of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the Transactions or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering a Governmental Order prohibiting the consummation of Transactions, (iii) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such Governmental Order on appeal or otherwise or (iv) materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 6.16 Resignation of Directors and Officers. At the Closing, except as otherwise may be agreed in writing by Parent, the Company shall deliver to Parent the resignation of all of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are in office immediately prior to the Effective Time (and to the extent requested by Parent, from any member of the board of directors (or any equivalent) of each Subsidiary of the Company), which resignations shall be effective at the Effective Time.

Section 6.17 Takeover Statutes. The parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts (a) to take all action necessary so that no Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to the Merger or any other transaction contemplated hereby and (b) if any such Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to any of the foregoing, to take all action necessary so that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as reasonably practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to eliminate or minimize the effect of such Takeover Statute and Section 203 of the DGCL on the Merger and the Transaction. Unless this Agreement is otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, no Adverse Recommendation Change shall change, or be deemed to change, the approval of the Company Board for purposes of causing any Takeover Statute to be inapplicable to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

69

Section 6.18 Convertible Notes.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall deliver any notices (including with respect to holders’ rights to require repurchase or conversion of the Convertible Notes) and take all necessary actions so that, in the event that any of the Company’s Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Convertible Notes Indentures remain outstanding as of the Effective Time, the Company shall (i) execute and deliver to the Trustee supplemental indentures to the Convertible Notes Indentures, as and to the extent required by the Convertible Notes Indentures, including, without limitation, as a result of the Transactions constituting a “Fundamental Change” or “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as such terms are defined in the Convertible Notes Indentures) and to provide that on and after the Effective Time, each holder of Convertible Notes shall have the right to convert such Convertible Notes into the Merger Consideration in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of the Convertible Notes Indentures governing the conversion of the Convertible Notes (including any applicable increase in the “Conversion Rate” thereunder for conversions made in connection with the Merger), (ii) cause to be executed and delivered to the Trustee an “Officer’s Certificate” and an “Opinion of Counsel” (as such terms are defined in the Convertible Notes Indentures) and any other related documentation required by the Convertible Notes Indentures in connection with such supplemental indentures, as and to the extent required by the Convertible Notes Indentures and (iii) take any other actions reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the Transactions to the extent such actions are required in order to effect any repurchases or conversions of the Convertible Notes in accordance with the Convertible Notes Indentures following the Effective Time. The Company will provide copies of any such supplemental indenture, Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, and any other documentation required pursuant to the foregoing clause (iii) to Parent at least three (3) Business Days prior to delivering any such document and all such documents shall be subject to the prior approval of Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective representatives to, cooperate with Parent in connection with the fulfillment of the Company’s obligations under the terms of the Convertible Notes and the Convertible Notes Indentures at any time after the date of this Agreement as reasonably requested by Parent.

Section 6.19 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of one-year following the Closing Date (or, if earlier, the date of the Continuing Employee’s termination), Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to provide, for each employee of the Company and each employee of each Subsidiary of the Company who, as of immediately following the Closing Date, continues as an employee of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Continuing Employees”), with (i) (A) base salary or base wage rate and (B) target annual cash incentive compensation opportunities and commission opportunities, each of which are, on an individual basis, substantially comparable to those provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement (excluding for purposes of this clause (i) any transaction, change of control, or retention bonuses, any nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements, severance and equity or equity-based compensation granted to such Continuing Employee prior to the Closing) and (ii) health and welfare benefits (excluding retiree medical or other post-employment welfare benefits) that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement under the Plans that provide health and welfare benefits set forth on Section 4.18(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

70

(b) With respect to each newly adopted health or welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the relevant Subsidiary for the benefit of any Continuing Employees, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) cause to be waived any eligibility waiting periods, any evidence of insurability requirements and the application of any pre-existing condition limitations under such plan for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, to the extent such eligibility waiting periods, any evidence of insurability requirements and pre-existing condition limitations would not have been applicable to such Continuing Employee under the terms of the corresponding Plans, and (ii) cause each Continuing Employee to be given credit under such plan for amounts paid by such Continuing Employee under the corresponding Plan for the plan year that includes the Closing Date for purposes of applying deductibles, co-insurance and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plan maintained by Parent or the Surviving Corporation (or the relevant Subsidiary of either such entity), as applicable, for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to provide each Continuing Employee credit for purposes of eligibility to participate, level of paid time off and vesting of retirement benefits (but not benefit accrual) under any employee benefit plans or arrangements of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the relevant Subsidiary for such Continuing Employee’s service with the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, to the same extent and for the same purpose as credited under the analogous Plan as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits or compensation for the same period of service.

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.19 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Continuing Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) or any other Person shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 6.19 shall create such rights in any such Persons. Nothing herein shall (i) guarantee employment for any period of time or preclude the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee at any time and for any reason; (ii) require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to continue any Plans, or other compensation or benefit plans or arrangements or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time; or (iii) constitute the establishment or amendment of any Plans or other employee benefit plans or arrangements.

72

Nothing in this Section 6.20 will require (1) any officer, employee or Representative of the Acquired Companies to deliver any certificate or opinion or take any other action under this Section 6.20 that would reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to such officer or Representative.

(c) The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of the Acquired Companies’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing, provided that such logos are used in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage any of the Acquired Companies or the reputation or goodwill of any Acquired Company or are used in any other manner as approved by the Acquired Companies in their reasonable discretion.

(d) Promptly upon request by the Company, Parent will reimburse the Company for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Acquired Companies in connection with the cooperation of the Acquired Companies contemplated by Section 6.20(a). Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Acquired Companies and its Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), interest, awards, judgments, penalties and amounts paid in settlement suffered or incurred by them in connection with any cooperation provided pursuant to this Section 6.20 or the provision of information utilized in connection therewith, except to the extent that any of the foregoing results from gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or a material misstatement of the Company or its Affiliates. Parent’s obligations pursuant to the two preceding sentences are referred to collectively as the “Reimbursement Obligations”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the

73

avoidance of doubt, the costs and expenses subject to the Reimbursement Obligations shall not include (x) costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of financial statements that are or would be prepared in the ordinary course of business irrespective of this Agreement, (y) any ordinary course amounts payable to employees of the Company or its Affiliates with respect to services provided prior to the Closing Date and (z) any other ordinary course amounts that would have been incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby regardless of any debt financing established in connection herewith and regardless of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.20(d).

(e) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that obtaining the Debt Financing is not a condition to the Closing. Except in the case of a Willful Breach, the Company’s breach of Section 6.20(a) will not be asserted as the basis for (A) any conditions set forth in Article VII to consummate the Merger having not been satisfied or (B) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to a Terminating Company Breach. If the Debt Financing has not been obtained, Parent and Merger Sub will each continue to be obligated, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, to consummate the Merger.

Section 8.02 Effect of Termination. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 8.02 and Section 8.03, in the event of the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party hereto or any of their Affiliates, officers, directors or stockholders, other than (subject to Section 8.03) liability of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, for fraud or any Willful Breach of this Agreement occurring prior to (or in connection with) such termination; provided, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including, for clarity, anything set forth in this Section 8.02), (x) in no event shall the Parent Parties have any liability or obligation for monetary damages under this Agreement (including any liability or obligation for monetary damages pursuant to this Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 or the Reimbursement Obligations) in an aggregate amount greater than $86,335,390 (such sum, the “Parent Liability Limit”), and (y) in no event shall the Company Parties have any liability or obligation for monetary damages under this Agreement (including any liability or obligation for monetary damages pursuant to this Section 8.02 or Section 8.03) in an aggregate amount greater than $86,335,390 (such sum, the “Company Liability Limit”). The provisions of Sections 6.06, 8.02, 8.03, Article IX and the Confidentiality Agreement, shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.03 Expenses; Termination Fee.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 6.03 and this Section 8.03, each party hereto shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions whether or not such Transactions shall be consummated, including all fees of its legal counsel, financial advisers and accountants; provided, that except as set forth in Section 3.02(d), Parent shall bear and timely pay all Transfer Taxes and shall prepare and timely file, at its expense, all Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

(b) Company Termination Fee. If, but only if, this Agreement is validly terminated:

(i) (x) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.01(d) or by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(e) and (y) (A) an Acquisition Proposal has been made to the Company or the shareholders of the Company prior to (1) the date of the Company Stockholder Meeting (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.01(d)) and (2) the date of such termination (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.01(e)), and (B) within twelve (12) months of the termination of this Agreement, the Company enters into a definitive agreement for the consummation of any Acquisition Proposal or such Acquisition Proposal is consummated, then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent (or one or more of its designees), the Company Termination Fee prior to or concurrently with the earlier of the entry into a definitive agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal and the consummation of an Acquisition Proposal (provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 8.03(b)(i)(B), the references to “fifteen percent (15%)” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%)”);

78

(ii) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(g), then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent (or one or more of its designees), the Company Termination Fee within two (2) Business Days following such termination; or

(iii) by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(h), then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent (or one or more of its designees) the Company Termination Fee prior to or concurrently with such termination.

(c) [Reserved]

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Section 8.02 with respect to the Company Liability Limit and Section 9.02, Parent’s right to receive from the Company the Company Termination Fee and Enforcement Expenses shall, in circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee or Enforcement Expenses are owed or payable in accordance with this Agreement, constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub against (i) the Company and (ii) any of the Company’s former, current and future Affiliates, assignees, stockholders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and other Representatives (the Persons described in clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Company Parties”) for any breach, loss or damage suffered as a result of or arising out of or relating to the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and upon payment of the Company Termination Fee and any applicable Enforcement Expenses, no Person shall have any rights or claims against the Company Parties under this Agreement or otherwise, whether at law or equity, in contract in tort or otherwise, and the Company Parties shall not have any other liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transaction. If the Company becomes obligated to pay the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.03(b), upon payment of the Company Termination Fee, neither the Company nor any Company Party shall have any liability or obligation to Parent or Merger Sub relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that the payment of the Company Termination Fee shall not in any circumstance relieve the Company or any other Company Parties from any liability pursuant to this Agreement for any Enforcement Expenses to the extent payable hereunder pursuant to Section 8.03(f). Nothing in this Section 8.03(c) shall in any way expand or be deemed or construed to expand the circumstances in which the Company or any other Company Party may be liable under this Agreement or the Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, while Parent or Merger Sub may pursue both a grant of specific performance to enforce the Company’s obligations to consummate the Merger and the payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.03(b), as the case may be, under no circumstances shall Parent or Merger Sub be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance to enforce the Company’s obligations to consummate the Merger and payment of all or any portion of the Company Termination Fee or Enforcement Expenses.

79

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate monetary liability of (i) Parent, (ii) Merger Sub, (iii) the Guarantor and (iv) any of Parent’s, Merger Sub’s or the Guarantor’s former, current and future Affiliates, assignees, stockholders, limited partners, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and other Representatives (the Persons described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), collectively, the “Parent Parties”) in the event Parent or Merger Sub fails to consummate the Transactions or otherwise fails to comply with or breaches any covenant or other obligation or representation and warranty in, or for any other breach, loss or damage arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or the Guaranty shall not under any circumstance exceed the Parent Liability Limit, and no Person shall have any rights or claims in excess of the Parent Liability Limit against the Parent Parties under this Agreement or otherwise, whether at law or equity, in contract in tort or otherwise (including in the event of fraud or Willful Breach), and the Parent Parties shall not have any other liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Guaranty or the Transaction. In no event will the Company or any other Company Party seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives to seek or obtain, nor will any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or monetary award or damages of any kind against any Parent Party with respect to this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Guaranty, the Confidentiality Agreement or the Transactions (including any breach by the Guarantor or other Parent Party), the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Transactions or thereby or any claims, Proceedings or actions under Applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure (including in the event of a fraud or Willful Breach), other than from Parent or Merger Sub to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement or the Guarantor to the extent expressly provided for in the Guaranty. Nothing in this Section 8.03(e) shall in any way expand or be deemed or construed to expand the circumstances in which Parent or any other Parent Party may be liable under this Agreement or the Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance to enforce Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger and monetary damages.

(f) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in Sections 8.02 and 8.03 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, neither Parent nor Merger Sub nor the Company would enter into this Agreement. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the Company Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Merger Sub in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger. The parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(g) Any amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.03(b) shall be paid by wire transfer of same day funds in accordance with this Section 8.03 to an account designated by Parent (at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date such fee is to be paid). If the Company fails to pay when due any amount payable under Section 8.03(b) and in order to collect such amount, Parent commences a Proceeding that results in a judgment against the Company for the Company Termination Fee, then the Company shall reimburse Parent for all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount or portion thereof at an annual rate equal to the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal or other authoritative source on the date that such payment or portion thereof was required to be made) plus three percent (3%) through the date that such payment or portion thereof was actually received, or a lesser rate that is the maximum permitted by applicable Law (any such amount, the “Enforcement Expenses”).

(addressee’s local time) or on any day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received at 9:00 A.M. (addressee’s local time) on the next Business Day; provided, further, that notice of any change to the address or any of the other details specified in or pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not be deemed to have been received until, and shall be deemed to have been received upon, the later of the date specified in such notice or the date that is three (3) Business Days after such notice would otherwise be deemed to have been received pursuant to this Section 9.01.

Section 9.02 Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur, and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law, in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the Transactions). It is accordingly agreed that, subject in all respects to the terms and limitations set forth in this Section 9.02, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity (subject to Section 8.03). It is explicitly agreed that the Company shall have the right to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger and cause the Equity Financing to be funded to fund the Merger (including to cause Parent to enforce the obligations of the Guarantor under the Equity Commitment Letter in order to cause the Equity Financing to be timely completed in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter). Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the rights of the parties to the definitive agreements for any Debt Financing under the terms thereof, none of the Company and its Affiliates and their direct and indirect equityholders shall have any rights or claims (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise) against any Debt Financing Source, solely in their respective capacities as lenders or arrangers in connection with the Debt Financing, and in no event shall the Company, any of its Affiliates or its or their direct or indirect equityholders be entitled to directly seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement against any Debt Financing Source. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy.

82

Section 9.03 No Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties and covenants and agreements (to the extent such covenant or agreement contemplates or requires performance prior to the Closing) in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto by any Person shall terminate at the Effective Time or, except as provided in Section 8.02, upon the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, as the case may be, except that this Section 9.03 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties which by its terms expressly contemplates performance after the Effective Time or after termination of this Agreement, including those contained in Section 6.08 following the Effective Time.

Section 9.04 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time (except for Section 7.01(a), which may not be waived by any party) if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, that no amendment or waiver shall be made subsequent to receipt of the Required Company Stockholder Approval which requires further approval of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the DGCL without such further stockholder approval.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

Section 9.05 Disclosure Letter References. The parties hereto agree that any reference on a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter, as the case may be, shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (b) any other representations and warranties (or covenant, as applicable) of such party that are contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties (or covenant, as applicable) is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. The listing of any matter on a party’s Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to constitute an admission to a third party by such party, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material. No disclosure in a party’s Disclosure Letter relating to any possible breach or violation by such party of any Contract or Applicable Law shall be construed as an admission or indication to a third party that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. In no event shall the listing of any matter in a party’s Disclosure Letter be deemed or interpreted to expand the scope of such party’s representations, warranties and/or covenants set forth in this Agreement.

83

Section 9.06 Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure solely to the benefit of and be enforceable by each party hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the past, present and future officers, directors and employees of the Acquired Companies (and their successors, heirs and representatives) are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, Section 6.08, (ii) from and after the Effective Time, the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Compensatory Awards shall be intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, the right to receive Merger Consideration, Vested RSU Consideration, Unvested RSU Converted Cash Consideration, and Unvested PRSU Converted Cash Consideration, as applicable, pursuant to Article III, (iii) the Parent Parties shall be intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, Section 8.03(d), (iv) the Company Parties shall be intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, Section 8.02(y) and Section 8.03(d), and (v) if a court of competent jurisdiction has declined to grant specific performance, then the Company may seek damages (which the Parent Parties acknowledge and agree may include damages to the Company’s stockholders) on behalf of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Compensatory Awards (each of which are deemed third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement to the extent required for this provision to be enforceable) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.03(d); provided, that in no event shall any such holder be entitled to directly enforce any of their rights, or any of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations, under this Agreement in the event of any such breach, but rather the Company shall have the sole and exclusive right to do so, as agent for such holders.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, that each of Parent and Merger Sub may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to (a) one or more of its Affiliates at any time, (b) after the Effective Time, to any Person and (c) for collateral security purposes to any Persons providing financing to thereto pursuant to the terms thereof (including for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assigning as collateral in respect of such financing); provided, that any assignment by Parent or Merger Sub shall not relieve Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations hereunder; provided, further, that each of Parent and Merger Sub may transfer or assign its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement upon or following the Closing for collateral security purposes to any Debt Financing Source. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 9.06(b) shall be null and void.

Section 9.07 Governing Law. This Agreement and all Proceedings (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, or related to this Agreement, the Transactions, or the actions of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof (including as it relates to (a) the interpretation of the definition of Company Material Adverse Effect (and whether or not a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred) and (b) the determination of whether the Closing has been consummated in accordance with the terms hereof, which will, in each case, be governed by and construed in accordance with the Law of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of Laws thereof), shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

84

Section 9.08 Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware (and in each case, any appellate court therefrom), in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the Transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such Proceeding except in such courts, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such Proceeding may be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such Federal court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such Federal court and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 9.08 in any such Proceeding by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified U.S. mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to its address as specified in or pursuant to Section 9.01. However, nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process on the other party in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 9.09 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.09.

Section 9.10 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other parties hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format or by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

85

Section 9.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and each of the other documents, instruments and agreements delivered in connection with the Transactions, including each of the Exhibits, the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter, constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 9.12 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties intend that the remedies and limitations contained in Section 8.03(f) and Section 8.03(f) be construed as an integral provision of this Agreement and that such remedies and limitations shall not be severable in any manner that increases a party’s liability or obligations hereunder or under the Equity Commitment Letter or Guaranty.

Section 9.13 Non-Recourse.

(a) 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 may only be made against the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto and no other Parent Party (other than the Guarantor to the extent set forth in the Guaranty or Equity Commitment Letter) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement (whether for indemnification or otherwise) or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. Without limiting the rights of the Company against Parent or Merger Sub hereunder, in no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates, and the Company agrees not to and to cause its Affiliates not to, nor will any other Person be entitled to, seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Transactions or any claims or actions under Applicable Laws arising out of any such breach, termination or failure, or seek to recover monetary damages from, in each case whether with respect to this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or the Guaranty or otherwise, any Parent Party (other than the Guarantor, solely to the extent and upon the terms and conditions expressly set forth in the Guaranty or Equity Commitment Letter).

86

Section 9.14 Debt Financing Entities. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company hereby (a) agrees that any Proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving the Debt Financing Entities, arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, so long as such forum is and remains available, and any appellate court thereof and each party hereto irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, (b) agrees that any such Proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, except as otherwise provided in a definitive document relating to the Debt Financing, (c) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Proceeding in any such court, (d) waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law trial by jury in any Proceeding brought against any Debt Financing Entity in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, (e) agrees that none of the Debt Financing Entities will have any liability to the Company or its Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, and (f) agrees that the Debt Financing Entities are express third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, Section 9.06(b) and any of the provisions in this Agreement reflecting the foregoing agreements in this Section 9.14. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall impact the rights of Parent and its Affiliates, or the obligations of the Debt Financing Entities, under any definitive agreement relating to the Debt Financing.
