ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.01 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Sub will be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”), and all the property, rights, immunities, powers and franchises of Sub and the Company will vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all of the debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Company and Sub will become the debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Corporation, in each case, and in accordance with Section 259 of the DGCL.

Section 1.02 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place on the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which each of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI is satisfied, or to the extent permitted by Law, waived by the party entitled to waive such condition (other than those conditions that by their terms are only capable of being satisfied on the Closing Date, but subject to the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of such conditions by the party entitled to waive such conditions) by the exchange of electronic signatures and documents, at the offices of Sidley Austin LLP, One South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603, or at another date or place agreed to in writing by the parties hereto; provided, however, that Parent, Sub and the Company shall not be required to consummate the Closing prior to the earlier of (a) the second (2nd) Business Day after the end of the Marketing Period and (b) the date during the Marketing Period agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” “Marketing Period” means a period of fifteen (15) consecutive Business Days following the Parent’s receipt of the Required Information (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that if, after the start of the Marketing Period, the Company shall provide the Parent with additional financial statements as required by the definition of Required Information, the delivery of such additional financial statements will not be deemed to re-start the Marketing Period); provided that (i) the Marketing Period shall not commence prior to September 3, 2019, and (ii) November 29, 2019 shall not be deemed to be a Business Day; provided, however, that if the Company shall in good faith believe that it has provided the Required Information to the Parent, the Company may deliver to the Parent a written notice to that effect (stating the date on which it believes it completed such delivery), in which case the Company shall be deemed to have delivered the Required Information on the date specified in such notice, unless the Parent in good faith believes either (A) that the Required Information was delivered on a date later than that specified in the Company’s notice or (B) that the Company has not completed the delivery of Required Information and, within three (3) Business Days after the delivery of such notice by the Company, delivers a written notice to the Company to that effect (stating with reasonable specificity either the date on which the Required Information was delivered or, if applicable, the Required Information that the Parent believes the Company has not delivered at that time, in which case the Required Information shall be deemed to be delivered immediately upon the delivery by the Company of information reasonably addressing the points contained in such notice). “Required Information” means the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, December 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and subsequent fiscal years ended at least ninety (90) days before the date of Closing and quarterly unaudited

2

financial statements of the Company for each subsequent fiscal quarter (other than the fourth quarter) ended at least forty-five (45) days before the date of the Closing, in each case, with comparative financial information for the equivalent period of the prior year (it being acknowledged that Parent has received audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and unaudited financial statements of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2019).

Section 1.03 Effective Time. Concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall file a certificate of merger with respect to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the applicable provisions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective on the date and time at which the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such other date and time as is agreed between the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger (such date and time, the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.04 Organizational Documents, Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) Organizational Documents. At the Effective Time, (i) the Company Charter, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, will by virtue of the Merger be amended and restated so as to read in its entirety in the form set forth in Exhibit A, and as so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law and the applicable provisions of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, and (ii) the Company Bylaws shall be amended and restated in their entirety to read as the bylaws of Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and as so amended and restated, shall thereafter be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (except that references to the name of Sub shall be replaced by references to the name of the Surviving Corporation) until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law and the applicable provisions of the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Directors. Subject to applicable Law, the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation effective as of, and immediately following, the Effective Time shall consist of the members of the board of directors of Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

Section 2.01 Conversion of Securities.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Sub, the Company or the holders of any capital stock of the Company or Sub:

(i) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock (each, a “Share”, and collectively, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Excluded Shares, shall automatically be converted into the right to receive $28.00 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), and all of such Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall cease to exist, and each certificate representing a Share (a “Certificate”) or a non-certificated Share represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) that formerly represented any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter be cancelled and cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration without interest thereon, subject to Section 2.05.

(ii) Cancellation of Company-Owned Shares and Parent-Owned Shares. All Shares that are held in the treasury of the Company or owned of record by the Company or any Company Subsidiary and all Shares owned of record by Parent, Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, with no payment being made with respect thereto.

(iii) Capital Stock of Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Sub shall be automatically converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, all certificates representing common stock of Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Merger Consideration Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the number of outstanding Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date and payment date within said period, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to proportionally reflect such change; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.01(b) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the payment of RSU Awards on outstanding unvested RSUs as contemplated by Section 5.01(e) (if any) shall not be considered a change requiring adjustment under this Section 2.01(b).

Section 2.02 Exchange of Certificates; Payment for Shares.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a U.S.-based nationally recognized financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the benefit of the holders of Shares to receive the Merger Consideration to which such holders shall become entitled pursuant to this Agreement (if any). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the Aggregate Common Stock Consideration (the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund shall be for the benefit of the holders of Shares that are entitled to receive the Merger Consideration. In the event the Exchange Fund is insufficient to make the payments contemplated by this ARTICLE II, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash sufficient to make such payments. Funds made available to the Paying Agent shall be invested by the Paying Agent, as directed by Parent, in short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the United States of America with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days, pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of Shares pursuant to this ARTICLE II; provided that no investment of such deposited funds shall relieve Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent from promptly making the payments required by this ARTICLE II, and following any losses from any such investment, Parent shall promptly deposit with the Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds, for the benefit of the holders of Shares (other than Excluded Shares), an amount in cash equal to the amount of such losses, which additional funds will be held and disbursed in the same manner as funds initially deposited with the Paying Agent to make the payments contemplated by this ARTICLE II. Any interest or income produced by such investments will be payable to Sub, Parent or otherwise, as Parent directs. Parent shall direct the Paying Agent to hold the Exchange Fund for the benefit of the persons entitled to Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.01 and to make payments from the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Section 2.02. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments pursuant to this Section 2.02, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) Procedures for Surrender.

(i) Certificated Shares. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than the second (2nd) Business Day following the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (agreed to by Parent and the Company prior to the Effective Time), which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.02(e)) to the Paying Agent; and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of any Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.02(e)) for cancellation to the Paying Agent, if applicable, and upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the portion of the Aggregate Common Stock

5

Consideration into which the Shares formerly represented by such Certificates were converted pursuant to Section 2.01, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made and Merger Consideration may be issued to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate is properly endorsed or is otherwise in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment either pays to the Paying Agent any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered or establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid.

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. Any holder of Book-Entry Shares that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this ARTICLE II. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one or more such Book-Entry Shares shall automatically upon the Effective Time be entitled to receive, and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Merger Consideration for each such Book-Entry Share, subject to Section 2.05. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(iii) No interest shall be paid or accrue on any portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of any Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.02(e)) or in respect of any Book-Entry Share.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. As of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing Shares (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.02(e)) are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. At any time following the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) not disbursed to or claimed by holders of Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to

6

the Merger Consideration payable in respect of their Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.02(b), without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, any of their respective Subsidiaries or affiliates or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Share for Merger Consideration properly delivered to a public official in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Paying Agent) of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the portion of the Aggregate Common Stock Consideration into which the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate were converted pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(i); provided, however, that the Paying Agent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide a bond in a customary amount.

Section 2.03 Treatment of Company Options and Equity Plans.

(a) Treatment of Company Options. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions that provide that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Shares granted under a Company Stock Plan (the “Company Options”) shall be fully vested and cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Option and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash of an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares subject to such cancelled Company Option, multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per Share subject to such cancelled Company Option, without interest (such amounts payable hereunder, the “Option Payments”); provided, however, that (1) any such Company Option with respect to which the exercise price per Share subject thereto is equal or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled in exchange for no consideration and (2) such Option Payments may be reduced by the amount of any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.05. From and after the Effective Time, no Company Option shall be exercisable, and each Company Option shall entitle the holder thereof only to the payment provided for in this Section 2.03(a).

(b) Treatment of Restricted Stock Units.

(i) Except as set forth on Section 2.03 of the Company Disclosure Letter, prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions that provide that immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then outstanding unvested award of restricted stock units (each, an “RSU”) with respect to Shares (each, an “RSU Award”) granted pursuant to a Company Stock Plan, other than any RSU Award held by a non-employee director of the Company, shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, determined as follows: (A) with respect to an RSU Award subject to performance conditions with a performance period that by its terms has ended prior to the Effective Time an amount equal to (1) the Merger Consideration, multiplied

7

by (2) the number of RSUs subject to such RSU Award based on actual performance through the end of such performance period; (B) with respect to an RSU Award subject to performance conditions with a performance period that by its terms has not ended prior to the Effective Time, an amount in cash equal to (1) the Merger Consideration, multiplied by (2) the number of RSUs subject to such RSU Award assuming performance of 100% of target levels; and (C) with respect to an RSU Award that vests based solely on continued employment, an amount in cash equal to (1) the Merger Consideration, multiplied by (2) the number of RSUs subject to such RSU Award (such RSU Awards, as converted pursuant to clauses (A) through (C) of this sentence, the “Replacement RSU Awards”). Each Replacement RSU Award will be subject to the same terms and conditions, including vesting and settlement, as applied to the RSU Award for which the Replacement RSU Award was exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other changes that are not materially detrimental to the holders are necessary for the administration of the Replacement RSU Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03(b)(i), (I) the terms of the Replacement RSU Awards shall be amended as set forth on Section 2.03 of the Company Disclosure Letter, and (II) no change to any existing award agreement shall cause the Replacement RSU Awards to violate Code Section 409A or the terms of any applicable Company Benefit Plan.

(ii) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions that provide that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding unvested RSU Award granted pursuant to a Company Stock Plan and held by a non-employee director of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be fully vested and cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each holder of any such cancelled RSU Award shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such RSU Award and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash, without interest, of an amount equal to the product of (A) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (B) the number of RSUs subject to such RSU Award (such amounts payable hereunder, the “RSU Payments”) (less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.05).

(c) Termination of Company Stock Plans. As of the Effective Time, all Company Stock Plans shall terminate, and no further rights with respect to Shares shall be granted thereunder.

(d) Treatment of Company Stock Purchase Plan. The provisions of Section 2.03(a) shall not apply to any rights under the Company Stock Purchase Plan. With respect to the Company Stock Purchase Plan, as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions or take other actions as may be required to provide that no further Offering Period (as defined in the Company Stock Purchase Plan) will commence or be extended pursuant to the Company Stock Purchase Plan after the date hereof. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will take all action that may be necessary to, effective upon the consummation of the Merger: (i) cause the Purchase Date (as defined in the Company Stock Purchase Plan) with respect to any Offering Period that would otherwise occur on or after the Effective Time, if any, to occur no later than one Business Day prior to the date on which the Effective Time occurs; (ii) make any pro rata adjustments that may be necessary to reflect the shortened Offering Period, but otherwise treat such shortened Offering Period as a

8

fully effective and completed Offering Period for all purposes pursuant to the Company Stock Purchase Plan; and (iii) cause the exercise (as of no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which the Effective Time occurs) of each outstanding purchase right pursuant to the Company Stock Purchase Plan. On such exercise date, if any, referred to in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Company will apply the funds credited as of such date pursuant to the Company Stock Purchase Plan within each participant’s payroll withholding account to the purchase of whole Shares in accordance with the terms of the Company Stock Purchase Plan and will cause the remaining accumulated but unused payroll deductions to be distributed to the relevant participants without interest as promptly as practicable following such exercise date. Immediately prior to and effective as of the Effective Time, the Company will terminate the Company Stock Purchase Plan.

(e) Parent Funding. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Surviving Corporation cash in the amount sufficient for the Surviving Corporation to make the payments required under this Section 2.03, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation (or other applicable person) to make the payments required under this Section 2.03 as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, or at such later time as necessary to avoid a violation of, or adverse tax consequences under, Section 409A of the Code. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay through the Payroll Agent the applicable Option Payments and RSU Payments to the holders of Company Options and RSU Awards, in each case, subject to Section 2.05, provided that payments to the former directors of the Company shall be made by the Surviving Corporation (or such other applicable person) directly.

Section 2.04 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any issued and outstanding Shares held by a person who is entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL and has complied with all the provisions of the DGCL concerning the right of holders of Shares to require appraisal of such Shares (such shares, “Dissenting Shares”, and each holder of Dissenting Shares, a “Dissenting Stockholder”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as described in Section 2.01(a)(i), and as of the Effective Time, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, but shall become the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL. If such Dissenting Stockholder effectively withdraws such Dissenting Stockholder’s demand for appraisal or fails to perfect or otherwise loses such Dissenting Stockholder’s right of appraisal with respect to such Shares, in any case pursuant to the DGCL, such Shares shall be deemed not to be Dissenting Shares and shall be deemed to be converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration for each such Share, without interest and subject to Section 2.05, and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for payment of the Merger Consideration for such Shares. The Company shall give Parent (a) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of Shares received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served on the Company pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, and (b) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal rights. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, settle or offer to settle, or approve any withdrawal of, any such demands.

9

Section 2.05 Withholding Taxes. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable in respect of the Company Options and RSU Awards cancelled in the Merger such Tax amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, any regulation promulgated thereunder by the United States Department of Treasury (a “Treasury Regulation”) or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that Tax amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, such withheld Tax amounts (a) shall be remitted by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (b) to the extent so remitted shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Options or RSU Awards in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent, as the case may be.

The Company and each Company Subsidiary has requisite corporate or other legal entity, as the case may be, power and authority to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to have such power and authority, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the conduct of its business requires such qualification or licensing, except where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.06 Capitalization and Operations of Sub. As of the date of this Agreement, the authorized share capital of Sub consists of 1,000 shares, par value $0.01 per share, of which 100 shares are validly issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding share capital of Sub is, and at the Effective Time will be, owned by Parent. Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the Transactions, and it has not conducted any business prior to the date of this Agreement and has no, and prior to the Effective Time will have no, assets, liabilities or obligations of any nature other than those incidental to its formation and contemplated by this Agreement, the Financing or the Transactions.

Section 4.07 Financing.

(a) Parent has delivered to the Company true and complete copies of (i) the executed commitment letter, dated as of the date hereof (the “Equity Commitment Letter”), among the Parent, Sub and the other party thereto (the “Equity Financing Source”), pursuant to which the Equity Financing Source has committed, on the terms and subject only to the terms thereof, to invest the amounts set forth therein at the date and time at which the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 1.02 and to which the Company is an express third party beneficiary (the “Equity Financing”), and (ii) the executed commitment letter (together with the term sheet and any other annexes, exhibits, schedules and other attachments thereto), dated as of the date hereof (the “Debt Commitment Letter” and, together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Financing Commitments”) from Royal Bank of Canada, UBS AG, UBS Securities LLC, Macquarie Capital Funding LLC and Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., pursuant to which the financial institutions and other lenders party thereto (the “Lenders” and, together with the Equity Financing Source, the “Financing Sources”) have committed, on the terms and subject only to the terms thereof, to lend the amounts set forth therein for purposes of funding the Transactions at the date and time at which the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 1.02 (the “Debt Financing” and, together with the Equity Financing, the “Financing”). Parent has also delivered to the Company true and complete copies of any fee letter (with only the fee amounts, pricing caps and flex provisions (none of which individually or in the aggregate would reduce the amount of the Debt Financing or adversely affect the availability of the Debt Financing or delay or prevent the Closing or make the funding of the Debt Financing less likely to occur) redacted) relating to the Debt Commitment Letter (any such fee letter, a “Fee Letter”) and any engagement letters or other agreements relating to the Debt Financing.

(b) Assuming the Financing is funded in accordance with the Financing Commitments, and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.02(a) and Section 6.02(b), the aggregate net proceeds from the Financing when funded in accordance with the Financing Commitments are sufficient to fund all of the amounts required to be provided by Parent or Sub for the consummation of the Transactions and are sufficient for the satisfaction when due of all of the obligations of Parent and Sub under this Agreement, including the payment of the Aggregate Merger Consideration and the amounts payable pursuant to

36

Section 2.03 and the payment of all costs and expenses of the Transactions (including any such costs and expenses payable by the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries) which become due or payable by the Surviving Corporation or any Company Subsidiary in connection with, or as a result of, the Transactions and any repayment or refinancing of Indebtedness required in connection therewith or contemplated by any of the Financing Commitments (collectively, the “Financing Uses”).

(c) As of the date hereof, all of the Financing Commitments are in full force and effect and have not been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded (or contemplated to be withdrawn, terminated or rescinded) or otherwise amended, supplemented or modified (or contemplated to be amended, supplemented or modified) in any respect. As of the date hereof, each of the Financing Commitments, in the form delivered to the Company, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, Sub and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, enforceable against such parties in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception. To the knowledge of Parent, there is no fact or occurrence existing on the date hereof that would or would reasonably be expected to make any of the assumptions or any of the statements set forth in the Financing Commitments inaccurate or that would or would reasonably be expected to cause the Financing Commitments to be ineffective. There are no side letters or other Contracts or arrangements (except for any Fee Letters, engagement letters with respect Debt Financing and any other agreements, each of which have been delivered to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.07(a)) relating to the Financing Commitments. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent or Sub under any term, or a failure of any condition, of the Financing Commitments or otherwise result in any portion of the Financing contemplated thereby being unavailable at the date and time at which the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 1.02. Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.02(a) and Section 6.02(b), neither Parent nor Sub has reason to believe that it, any Equity Financing Source or any Lender would be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition of the Financing Commitments required to be satisfied by it. Parent and Sub have fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Financing Commitments to be paid on or before the date of this Agreement. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the full amount of the Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitments (the “Disclosed Conditions”). No person has any right to impose, and none of Parent or any counterparty to any Financing Commitment has any obligation to accept, (i) any condition precedent to such funding or investing other than the Disclosed Conditions, (ii) any reduction to the aggregate amount available under the Financing Commitments on the Closing Date or (iii) any term or condition that would have the effect of reducing the aggregate amount available under the Financing Commitments on the Closing Date.

(d) Neither Parent nor Sub has, directly or indirectly, entered into an exclusivity, lock-up or other similar agreement, arrangement or binding understanding with any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt or equity financing that prohibits such provider from providing or seeking to provide any services or financing, including debt or equity financing, to any third party in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (including in connection with the making of any Competing Proposal) in connection with the Transactions.

37

Section 4.08 Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent and Sub have caused the Guarantor to deliver the Guarantee, dated as of the date hereof, to the Company. The Guarantee is in full force and effect and has not been withdrawn or terminated or otherwise amended, supplemented or modified in any respect. The Guarantee is a legal and valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception. No event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could constitute a default or breach on the part of the Guarantor under such Guarantee.

Section 4.09 Solvency. Assuming that (a) the conditions to the obligation of Parent and Sub to consummate the Merger have been satisfied or waived and (b) the most recent financial statements included in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the end of the periods covered thereby and the consolidated results of operations of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby in accordance with GAAP, then at and immediately following the Effective Time and after giving effect to all of the Transactions, including the funding of the Equity Financing and the Financing Uses, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Subsidiaries of the Surviving Corporation, taken as a whole, will be Solvent.

Section 4.10 Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the Transactions based on arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent, Sub or any of their respective affiliates.

Section 4.11 Absence of Certain Arrangements. Other than this Agreement and as set forth on Section 4.11 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, as of the date of this Agreement, there are no Contracts or any commitments to enter into any Contract between Parent, Sub or any of their respective affiliates, on the one hand, and any director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Company, on the other hand, relating to the Transactions or the operations of the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time. Neither Parent nor any of its affiliates has entered into any Contract or any commitments to enter into any Contract pursuant to which: (a) any stockholder of the Company would be entitled to receive consideration of a different amount or nature than the Merger Consideration or (b) any stockholder of the Company agrees to vote to adopt this Agreement or approve the Merger or agrees to vote against any Competing Proposal.

Section 4.12 Ownership of Company Common Stock. None of Parent, Sub or any of their “affiliates” or “associates” is, or at any time during the last three (3) years has been, an “interested stockholder” of the Company, in each case as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL. None of Parent, Sub or any of their affiliates beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) as of the date hereof, or will at any time prior to the Closing Date beneficially own, any shares of Company Common Stock or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock or any securities of any Company Subsidiary, or is a party as of the date hereof, or will at any time prior to the Closing Date become a party, to any Contract, arrangement or understanding (other than this Agreement) for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any shares of Company Common Stock or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock or any securities of any Company Subsidiary.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, EACH OF PARENT AND SUB ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANY OTHER PERSON HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS, FORECASTS, COST ESTIMATES AND OTHER PREDICTIONS RELATING TO THE COMPANY AND THE COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES MADE AVAILABLE TO PARENT.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or Sub, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the Company prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete unilateral control and supervision over its business operations.

Parent shall, immediately following execution of this Agreement, adopt this Agreement in its capacity as sole stockholder of Sub in accordance with applicable Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Sub.

Section 5.03 No Solicitation; Change of Company Recommendation.

(a) Except as permitted by this Section 5.03, from and after the date hereof, until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement, (i) the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees to (and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the other Company Representatives to), (A) cease any solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any persons that may be ongoing with respect to any Competing Proposal, (B) terminate all access granted to any such person and its representatives to any physical or electronic dataroom, and (C) request that any such person and its representatives promptly return to the Company or destroy any non-public information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries that was previously furnished or made available to such person or any of its representatives by or on behalf of the Company and (ii) the Company shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees not to (and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the other Company Representatives not to), (A) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the submission of proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Competing Proposal, (B) furnish any non-public information regarding the Company or any Company Subsidiary to any third person in connection with or in response to, or in a manner that would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Competing Proposal, (C) enter into, participate in or continue to participate in any discussions or negotiations with any third person with respect to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Competing Proposal made by such third person, (D) approve, endorse, recommend or enter into, or publicly propose to approve, endorse, recommend or enter into, any Alternative Acquisition Agreement, or (E) agree, propose or resolve to take, or take, any of the actions prohibited by clauses (A) through (D) above.

43

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if and only if, at any time following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Company obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, (i) the Company has received a written Competing Proposal from a person after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of Section 5.03(a) (other than any breach that is immaterial and unintentional) and (ii) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, (x) after consultation with the Company’s independent financial advisors and outside counsel, that such Competing Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and (y) after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the Company Representatives may (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the person making such Competing Proposal and its representatives (provided that such information has previously been made available to Parent or is provided to Parent promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) following the time such information is made available to such person) and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such Competing Proposal and its representatives in connection with such Competing Proposal; provided, however, that the Company will not, will not permit the Company Subsidiaries or the Company Representatives to, disclose any material non-public information regarding the Company to such person without the Company first entering into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such person if such person is not already party to a confidentiality agreement with the Company. The Company (1) will promptly (and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours) advise Parent of the receipt of any Competing Proposal that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (including the identity of any person making such Competing Proposal) and (2) will thereafter keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis as to the status of such Competing Proposal.

(c) Except as set forth in Section 5.03(d) or Section 5.03(e), from the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof will (i) adopt, authorize, approve or recommend, or resolve to or publicly propose or announce its intention to, approve or recommend to the stockholders of the Company, any Competing Proposal, (ii) withhold, modify, qualify or amend, or publicly propose or announce its intention to withhold, modify, qualify or amend, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation or fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (iii) if (A) the Company has received a Competing Proposal that remains outstanding (and is not a tender offer or exchange offer addressed by clause (iv) of this sentence), and (B) such Competing Proposal has not been rejected by the Company, fail to reaffirm the Company Recommendation within five (5) Business Days after receipt of a written request from the Parent to do so; provided that Parent may only request one such reaffirmation with respect to any Competing Proposal (it being understood and agreed that, if and solely to the extent the Company determines in good faith, in consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with applicable Law, the Company may, in connection with such reaffirmation, state that it is continuing to negotiate with the person that made such Competing Proposal, and such statement shall not be considered a Change of Company Recommendation), (iv) fail to recommend against any Competing Proposal that is a tender or exchange offer by a third party pursuant to Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act within ten (10)

44

Business Days after the commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer (it being understood and agreed that, if and solely to the extent the Company determines in good faith, in consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with applicable Law, the Company may, in connection with such recommendation against, state that it is continuing to negotiate with the person that made such Competing Proposal, and such statement shall not be considered a Change of Company Recommendation) (any action set forth in the foregoing clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), a “Change of Company Recommendation”) or (v) allow the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement to effect any Competing Proposal, including an Alternative Acquisition Agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) or agreement requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Transactions.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) may make a Change of Company Recommendation (and, if so desired by the Company Board (or any committee thereof), terminate this Agreement, in accordance with Section 7.01(d), in order to cause the Company to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Competing Proposal (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”)) if and only if:

(i) (A) a Competing Proposal (that did not result from a breach of Section 5.03(a) (other than any breach that is immaterial and unintentional)) is made to the Company by a third person and (B) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Competing Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal;

(ii) the Company provides Parent three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of the Company’s intention to make a Change of Company Recommendation (a “Notice of Change of Recommendation”), which notice shall include (A) the material terms and conditions of the Competing Proposal (including the consideration offered therein and the identity of the person or group making the Competing Proposal) and (B)(1) an unredacted copy of the Alternative Acquisition Agreement, (2) unredacted copies of all other agreements to be entered into between the Company and the person making such Superior Proposal in connection with such Superior Proposal and (3) any financing arrangements to finance the Competing Proposal if the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determined such financing arrangements were material to its decision that the Competing Proposal was superior to the Merger (it being understood and agreed that (I) such financing arrangements may be redacted to the same extent as contemplated by Section 4.07 and (II) neither (x) the delivery of such Notice of Change of Recommendation, in and of itself, nor (y) the announcement that the Company has provided such notice, if and solely to the extent the Company determines in good faith, in consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with applicable Laws, shall constitute a Change of Company Recommendation);

45

(iii) if requested by Parent, the Company has negotiated, and directed any applicable Company Representatives to negotiate, with Parent in good faith during the three (3) Business Days following the date of such Notice of Change of Recommendation with respect to any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent; and

(iv) taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement offered by Parent pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith, (A) after consultation with the Company’s outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Competing Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if such changes irrevocably offered in writing by Parent were to be given effect, and (B) after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Change of Company Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that any material amendment to the terms of such Competing Proposal (whether or not in response to any changes proposed by Parent pursuant to clause (iii) above; it being understood and agreed that any change in the type or amount of per share consideration or purchase price shall be considered material) shall require a new Notice of Change of Recommendation and an additional two (2)-Business Day period from the date of such notice during which the terms of clause (iii) above and this clause (iv) shall apply mutatis mutandis (other than the number of Business Days).

(e) Other than in connection with a Competing Proposal (which shall be subject to Section 5.03(d) and shall not be subject to this Section 5.03(e)), prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Company Board (or any committee thereof) from effecting a Change of Company Recommendation and thereafter terminating this Agreement in response to the occurrence of a Company Intervening Event if the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect a Change of Company Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, if any only if:

(i) the Company has first given Parent three (3) Business Days’ advance notice of its intention to take such action (a “Notice of Company Intervening Event”), which shall set forth in reasonable detail information describing the Company Intervening Event (it being understood and agreed that neither (A) the delivery of such Notice of Company Intervening Event, in and of itself, nor (B) the announcement that the Company has provided such notice, if and solely to the extent the Company determines in good faith, in consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with applicable Laws, shall constitute a Change of Company Recommendation);

(ii) if requested by Parent, the Company has first negotiated, and caused the Company and its Company Representatives to negotiate, during the three (3) Business Days following the date of the Notice of Company Intervening Event (the “Company Intervening Event Notice Period”), with Parent in good faith regarding any revisions to the terms of the Transactions proposed by Parent in response to such Company Intervening Event; and

46

(iii) following the end of the Company Intervening Event Notice Period, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and after taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement offered by Parent in a binding irrevocable written offer to the Company pursuant to clause (ii) above, that a Company Intervening Event continues to exist and that the failure to make a Change of Company Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 5.03 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board (or any committee thereof) from disclosing to the stockholders of the Company (i) a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) any other disclosure the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith the failure to make would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and provided such disclosure does not constitute a Change of Company Recommendation if permitted by Section 5.03(d) or Section 5.03(e) (it being understood that any such action (other than a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position, as contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act) may constitute a Change of Company Recommendation if it otherwise satisfies the definition thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that the issuance by the Company or the Company Board (or any committee thereof) of a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position, as contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, shall not constitute a Change of Company Recommendation.

Section 5.04 Preparation of the Proxy Statement; Company Stockholders Meeting.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file a preliminary Proxy Statement with the SEC. Subject to Section 5.03, the Proxy Statement shall include the Company Recommendation. Parent shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Proxy Statement, and shall furnish all information concerning it, Sub, the Guarantor, any of their affiliates and any transaction any of them have or are contemplating entering into in connection with this Agreement that is necessary in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement, and provide such other assistance, as may be reasonably requested in the connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement. The parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable after such filing. Prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement or any related documents (or in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto other than filings under the Exchange Act either not related to this Agreement or that relate to a Competing Proposal) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and shall consider in good faith any comments on such document or response reasonably proposed by Parent. The Company shall promptly notify Parent promptly of the receipt of any comments to the Proxy Statement from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and will promptly supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company and the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement or the Transactions.

47

(b) If, at any time prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting, any information relating to the Company or Parent, Sub, the Guarantor, any of their respective affiliates or any transaction any of them have or are contemplating entering into in connection with this Agreement, is discovered by the Company or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that such document would not include any misstatement 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 are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall as promptly as practicable notify the other party. Following such notification, the Company shall file with the SEC an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information as promptly as reasonably practicable after Parent has had a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (and the Company has considered in good faith any comments on such document or response reasonably proposed by Parent), and to the extent the Company determines it is required by applicable Law, the Company shall disseminate such amendment or supplement to the stockholders of the Company.

(c) Subject to Section 5.03, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC for mailing to the Company’s stockholders, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) for the purpose of seeking the Company Stockholder Approval. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement shall be the only matter (other than matters of procedure and matters required by applicable Law to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders in connection with the adoption of this Agreement) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholders Meeting. In no event shall the record date of the Company Stockholders Meeting be changed (i) without Parent’s prior written consent in the event such record date would result in the Company Stockholders Meeting being within ten (10) Business Days of the Outside Date or (ii) in all other circumstances, without prior consultation with Parent, in each case of clause (i) and (ii), unless required by applicable Law.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, in its reasonable discretion, adjourn, recess or postpone the Company Stockholders Meeting and, subject to Section 5.04(c), may change the record date thereof, (i) to the extent necessary, in the judgment of the Company Board, to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the stockholders of the Company within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Company Stockholders Meeting, (ii) if as of the time for which the Company Stockholder Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholder Meeting or to the extent that at such time the Company has not received proxies sufficient to allow the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholders Meeting or (iii) to the extent the Company determines in good faith that failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company’s obligations under applicable Law. Subject to Section 5.03, the Company Board shall recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement (the “Company Recommendation”), and the

48

Company shall, unless there has been a Change of Company Recommendation or this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with and keep Parent informed on a reasonably current basis regarding its solicitation efforts and voting results following dissemination of the definitive Proxy Statement.

(e) Notwithstanding any Change of Company Recommendation, the Company shall submit this Agreement to the holders of Shares for adoption at the Company Stockholders Meeting unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with ARTICLE VII prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting.

Section 5.05 Access to Information. From the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to: (a) provide to Parent and Sub and their respective representatives reasonable access during normal business hours in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the operation of any business conducted by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, upon prior written notice to the Company, to the officers, employees, properties, offices and other facilities of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and to the books and records thereof; and (b) furnish promptly such information concerning the business, properties, Contracts, assets and liabilities of the Company and Company Subsidiaries as Parent or its representatives may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (or to cause any Company Subsidiary to) afford such access or furnish such information to the extent that doing so would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company: (i) result in the loss of attorney-client privilege; (ii) violate any confidentiality obligations of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to any third person or otherwise breach, contravene or violate any then effective Contract to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is party; (iii) result in a competitor of the Company or any Company Subsidiary receiving information that is competitively sensitive; or (iv) breach, contravene or violate any applicable Law (including the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law); provided that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege, violate confidentiality obligations, reveal information to a competitor, or breach, contravene or violate such applicable Contract or Law. Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and their respective representatives to, hold all information provided or furnished pursuant to this Section 5.05 confidential in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. During any visit to the business or property sites of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, each of Parent and Sub shall, and shall cause their respective representatives accessing such properties to, comply, in all material respects, with all applicable Laws and all of the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ safety and security procedures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.05, from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, none of Parent, Sub or any of their respective affiliates shall conduct, without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any environmental investigation at any real property owned or leased by the Company, and in no event may any environmental investigation include any sampling or other intrusive investigation of air, surface water, groundwater, soil or anything else at or in connection with any of such real property. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 5.07 (and not this Section 5.05) governs access rights in respect of the Financing.

49

Section 5.06 Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings.

(a) Parent shall (and shall cause Sub, the Guarantor and each of its and their applicable affiliates to) and, subject to Section 5.03, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to), use its respective reasonable best efforts to consummate the Transactions and to cause the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI to be satisfied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall (and shall cause Sub and each of their applicable affiliates to) use its reasonable best efforts to and, subject to Section 5.03, the Company shall (and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to) use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) promptly obtain all actions or nonactions, consents, Permits (including Environmental Permits), waivers, approvals, authorizations and orders from Governmental Entities or other persons necessary or advisable in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, (ii) as promptly as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement (solely with respect to the HSR Act), make and not withdraw (without the Company’s consent) all registrations and filings with any Governmental Entity or other persons necessary or advisable in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, including the filings required of the parties hereto or their “ultimate parent entities” or “ultimate controlling persons” under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law, and promptly make any further filings pursuant thereto that may be necessary or advisable, (iii) contest and defend all lawsuits or other legal, regulatory, administrative or other Proceedings to which it or any of its affiliates is a party challenging or affecting this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, in each case until the issuance of a final, non-appealable Order with respect to each such Proceeding, (iv) seek to have lifted or rescinded any injunction or restraining order which may adversely affect the ability of the parties hereto to consummate the Transactions, in each case until the issuance of a final, non-appealable Order with respect thereto, (v) seek to resolve any objection or assertion by any Governmental Entity challenging this Agreement or the Transactions, and (vi) execute and deliver any additional instruments necessary or advisable to consummate the Transactions. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall not be required to make any concessions under this Section 5.06 that are not conditioned upon the Closing.

(b) In furtherance of the obligations set forth in Section 5.06(a) and notwithstanding any limitations therein or elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) Parent shall promptly take (and shall cause Sub, the Guarantor and each of its and their applicable affiliates to take) any and all actions necessary or advisable in order to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment to the consummation of the Transactions and obtain all approvals and consents, including approvals and consents under any Antitrust Laws that may be required by any foreign or U.S. federal, state or local Governmental Entity, in each case with competent jurisdiction, so as to enable the parties to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable, including operational restrictions or limitations on, and committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust or otherwise, the sale, license, disposition or holding separate of, such assets or businesses of Parent, Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective affiliates (and the entry into agreements with, and submission to decrees, judgments, injunctions or orders of the relevant Governmental Entity) as may be required or advisable to obtain such approvals or consents of such Governmental Entities or to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or vacate or lift, any Orders that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the consummation of the Transactions and (ii) the Company may make, subject to the condition that the Transactions actually occur, any undertakings (including

50

undertakings to accept operational restrictions or limitations or to make sales or other dispositions, provided that such restrictions, limitations, sales or other dispositions are conditioned upon the consummation of the Transactions) as are required to obtain such approvals or consents of such Governmental Entities or to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or vacate or lift, any decrees, judgments, injunctions or orders that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the consummation of the Transactions. Neither Parent nor Sub, directly or indirectly, through one or more of their respective affiliates or otherwise, shall take any action, including acquiring or making any investment in any person or any division or assets thereof, that would reasonably be expected to prevent or cause a material delay in the satisfaction of the conditions contained in ARTICLE VI or the consummation of the Merger.

(c) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.06, each party hereto shall: (i) give the other parties hereto prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, or Proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions; (ii) keep the other parties informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, or Proceeding; and (iii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication to or from the FTC, the Antitrust Division or any other Governmental Entity regarding the Merger. Each party hereto will consult and cooperate with the other parties and will consider in good faith the views and comments of the other parties in connection with any filing, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Entity or by any Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Proceeding, each party hereto will permit authorized representatives of the other parties to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with, and to the extent practicable, provided the opportunity to review and provide comments to in advance (and the other party shall reasonably consider in good faith the inclusion therein of any such comments timely provided), any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation or Proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.06, no party hereto shall be in violation of this Agreement by virtue of providing information that is competitively sensitive to one another on an “outside counsel only” or other basis designed to ensure compliance with applicable Law (including the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law).

(d) This Section 5.06 does not govern the obligations of Parent and Sub to obtain the Financing (which are instead governed by Section 5.07).

Section 5.07 Financing.

(a) Parent and Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts and do all things necessary or advisable to arrange and obtain the Financing as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, not later than the date and time the Closing is required to be effected in accordance with Section 1.02, on the terms and conditions (including, to the extent applicable, the “flex” provisions) described in the Financing Commitments (for purposes of this Section 5.07, the Financing Commitments and the Debt Commitment Letter shall include any Fee Letter),

51

including using reasonable best efforts to (i) enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing Commitments on the terms and conditions (as such terms may be modified or adjusted in accordance with the terms of, and within the limits of the flex provisions contained in any Fee Letter) contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (the “Definitive Debt Financing Agreements”), (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all terms, conditions and covenants, including with respect to the payment of any commitment, engagement or placement fees, applicable to Parent or Sub in the Financing Commitments and the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements, (iii) consummate and cause the Financing Sources to consummate the Financing at or prior to Closing, (iv) enforce their rights under the Financing Commitments and the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements, including by affirmatively bringing lawsuits or other proceedings and (v) cause the Marketing Period to expire as promptly as possible. Parent and Sub shall not agree to any amendments or modifications to, or grant any waivers of, any condition or other provision under the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing without the prior written consent of the Company (including any amendment of the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or any person with similar roles or titles who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof). Parent and Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to maintain in effect the Financing Commitments (including any Definitive Debt Financing Agreements) until the Transactions are consummated. Neither Parent nor Sub shall release or consent to the termination of the obligations of the Lenders under the Debt Commitment Letter or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Parent or any of its affiliates (which for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to include each direct or indirect investor or potential investor in Parent, or any of the Guarantor’s, Parent’s or any such investor’s financing sources or potential financing sources or other representatives acting at the direction of or on behalf of Parent, the Guarantor or such investor) engage any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt or equity financing on an exclusive basis or otherwise on terms that prohibit or are designed to prevent such provider from providing or seeking to provide such services or financing to any person in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in connection with the Transactions (including in connection with the making of any Competing Proposal).

(c) Parent and Sub shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, prior to or in connection with the Closing, permit or arrange any debt financing to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary will be a party or by which any of their respective assets shall be subject or bound, other than the Debt Financing. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any “flex” provisions) contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter, Parent and Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event but no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately preceding the Outside Date, arrange and obtain from alternative sources of financing an amount sufficient to satisfy the Financing Uses, on terms and conditions (including any “flex” provisions) that are at least as favorable to the Company in the aggregate as those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter, which shall not expand upon the conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding on the Closing Date of the Financing as set forth in the Financing Commitments in effect on the date hereof or otherwise adversely affect the ability or likelihood of Parent and Sub to timely consummate the Transactions. The new debt commitment letter and

52

fee letter entered into in connection with such alternative financing are referred to, respectively, as a “New Debt Commitment Letter” and a “New Fee Letter.” In the event Parent or Sub enter into any such New Debt Commitment Letter, (i) Parent and Sub shall promptly provide the Company with true, correct and complete copies thereof, (ii) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing” shall mean the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as modified pursuant to clause (iii) below, and (iii) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Commitment Letter” (and any definition incorporating the term “Debt Commitment Letter,” including the definition of Definitive Debt Financing Agreements) shall be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letter and any Fee Letter to the extent not superseded by a New Debt Commitment Letter or New Fee Letter, as the case may be, at the time in question and any New Debt Commitment Letter or New Fee Letter to the extent then in effect.

(d) Parent and Sub shall, and shall cause their representatives to, keep the Company informed as promptly as practicable in reasonable detail of the status of their efforts to arrange the Financing and substantially concurrently provide copies of all documents provided to or from the Lenders or otherwise related to the Financing to the Company (including any drafts of the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall (i) furnish the Company complete, correct and executed copies of any amendments to the Financing Commitments promptly upon their execution and (ii) give the Company prompt written notice (A) of any default or breach (or any event that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would (or could reasonably be expected to) give rise to any default or breach) by any party under any of the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing of which Parent or Sub becomes aware, (B) of any termination of either of the Financing Commitments, (C) of the receipt of any written notice or other communication from any person with respect to any (1) actual or potential default, breach, termination or repudiation of any Financing Commitment, any definitive agreement relating to the Financing or any provision of the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing, in each case by any party thereto, or (2) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Financing Commitment or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing, and (D) if for any reason Parent or Sub believe in good faith that they will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing, as the case may be.

(e) Prior to the Closing, at Parent’s sole expense, the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and instruct the Company Representatives to, in each case, use their commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Parent and Sub all customary cooperation reasonably requested by Parent that is necessary in connection with the Debt Financing, including commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause management of the Company to participate in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, sessions with rating agencies and due diligence sessions, in each case, with appropriate seniority and expertise, (ii) provide reasonable and customary assistance with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations and bank information memoranda and provide reasonable cooperation with the due diligence efforts of the Debt Financing Sources to the extent reasonable and customary (and, to the extent applicable, subject to the limitations contained in Section 5.05), (iii) to the extent timely requested by Parent and required under the Debt Commitment Letter, to (A) obtain documents reasonably requested by Parent or its Debt Financing Sources relating to the

53

repayment of the existing indebtedness of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and the release of related Liens, including customary payoff letters and (B) provide, at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act, relating to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries and a beneficial ownership certificate for any entity that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation (31 C.F.R § 1010.230), in each case to the extend requested by Parent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (iv) furnish Parent and Sub and the Financing Sources such financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Parent, its advisors or the Financing Sources, including with the Required Information (it being understood that Parent shall be solely responsible for the preparation of pro forma financial statements or other information regarding any post-Closing or pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization, ownership or other post-Closing pro forma adjustments necessary or desired to be incorporated into any information used in connection with the Financing) and customary authorization letters, customary Rule 10b-5 representations and confirmations (including with respect to presence or absence of material non-public information and accuracy of the information contained therein) for inclusion in any information materials that authorize the distribution of Required Information (v) cooperate to facilitate the pledging of, granting of security interests in and obtaining perfection of any Liens on, collateral in connection with the Debt Financing and (vi) assisting with Parent’s execution of definitive financing documentation and the schedules and exhibits thereto (including loan agreements, guarantees, collateral agreements, customary officer’s certificates and corporate resolutions, as applicable); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.07 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, (1) in no event shall the “commercially reasonable efforts” of the Company, any Company Subsidiaries or Company Representatives be deemed or construed to require such persons to, and such persons shall not be required to, provide such cooperation to the extent it would (A) interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or (B) require the Company or any Company Subsidiaries to take any action that would reasonably be expected to (x) conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, the Company Charter or Company Bylaws or other comparable organizational documents of the Company Subsidiaries, any applicable Laws or any Contract, (y) cause any condition to Closing set forth in this Agreement to fail to be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement that would provide Parent or Sub the right to terminate this Agreement or (z) result in any employee, officer or director of such person incurring any personal liability (as opposed to any liability in his or her capacity as an officer of such person) with respect to any matters related to the Financing, (2) neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall be required to commit to take any action that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective at or prior to the Effective Time, (3) neither the Company Board nor any of the Company Subsidiaries’ boards of directors (or equivalent bodies) shall be required to approve or adopt any Financing or agreements related thereto (or any alternative financing) (other than the customary authorization letters described in clause (iv) above), (4) neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives shall be required to execute or deliver any agreements, certificates, instruments or legal opinions in connection with any Financing (or any alternative financing) other than the customary authorization letters described in clause (iv)

54

above, (5) in no event shall the Company be in breach of this Agreement because of the failure of any financial or other information to be delivered that is not currently readily available to the Company on the date hereof or is not otherwise prepared in the ordinary course of business of the Company at the time requested by Parent, Sub or any Financing Source, (6) neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be responsible for any pro forma financial statements required to be provided in accordance with the Debt Commitment Letter, (7) neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or make any other payment (other than for reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses that are reimbursed by Parent as provided below in this Section 5.07(e)) or incur any other liability or provide or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Financing or any of the foregoing prior to the Effective Time and (8) nothing contained in this Section 5.07(e) or otherwise shall require the Company or any Company Subsidiary to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing prior to the Effective Time. The Company hereby consents to the use of its and the Company Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing so long as such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended or reasonably likely to harm, disparage or otherwise adversely affect the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall not be deemed to have breached this Section 5.07(e) as it relates to the condition set forth in Section 6.02(b) unless the Financing (or any alternative financing) has not been obtained solely as a result of the Company’s or any of the Company Subsidiaries’ Intentional Breach of their obligations under this Section 5.07(e). Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the Company Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with the Financing (including any action taken in accordance with this Section 5.07(e)) and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than historical information provided in writing by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries specifically for use in connection therewith).

(f) Each of Parent and Sub acknowledges and agrees that neither the obtaining of the Financing or any alternative financing is a condition to the Closing, and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the Transactions irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or any alternative financing, subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02.

Section 5.08 Public Announcements. The initial press release issued by Parent and the Company concerning this Agreement and the Transactions shall be a joint press release, the contents of which have received prior approval from both such parties, and thereafter Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to the Transactions and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation; provided, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.08 shall not apply to any press release, public statement or other announcement issued or made, or proposed to be issued or made, by the Company (a) in connection with a Competing Proposal or Change of Company Recommendation, subject to Section 5.03, (b) after prior consultation with the other parties hereto, to the extent practicable

55

under the circumstances, as may be required by applicable Law, the fiduciary duties of the Company Board or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or (c) that is consistent in all material respects with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by a party hereto in accordance with this Section 5.08, in each case under this clause (c) to the extent such disclosure is still accurate. Nothing in this Section 5.08 shall, but subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, prevent any affiliate of Parent that is a private equity or similar investment fund, or any manager or general partner of any such fund, from reporting or disclosing with respect to fundraising, marketing, informational or reporting activities, on a confidential basis, to its partners, investors, potential investors or similar parties, general information regarding this Agreement and the Transactions, in each case subject to customary obligations of confidentiality with respect to non-public information such as transaction value or other specific economic terms. For the avoidance of doubt, any public filings providing notice to or seeking approval from any Governmental Entity made pursuant to Section 5.06 shall be governed by Section 5.06 and not this Section 5.08.

Section 5.09 Directors & Officers Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Indemnification. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each current or former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, each fiduciary under benefit plans of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries and each such person who performed services at the request of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (each an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against (i) all losses, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, claims, damages or liabilities or, subject to the proviso of the next succeeding sentence, amounts paid in settlement, arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time) to the extent that they are based on or arise out of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or fiduciary under benefit plans or performed services at the request of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), and (ii) all Indemnified Liabilities to the extent they are based on or arise out of or pertain to the Transactions, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, and including any expenses incurred in enforcing such person’s rights under this Section 5.09. In the event of any such Indemnified Liability (whether or not asserted before the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnified Parties promptly after statements therefor are received and otherwise advance to such Indemnified Party upon request, reimbursement of documented expenses reasonably incurred (provided that the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advance if it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such person is not legally entitled to indemnification under Law).

(b) Insurance. The Company shall be permitted to, prior to the Effective Time, and if the Company fails to do so, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain and fully pay the premium for an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate to the intended beneficiaries thereof than the Company’s existing directors’ and

56

officers’ liability insurance policy. If the Company and the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policy as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time the D&O Insurance in place as of the date of this Agreement with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement, or the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six (6) year period with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement.

(c) Successors. In the event the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then and in either such case, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, require such successors, assigns or transferees of the Surviving Corporation or Parent to assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.09.

(d) Continuation. For not less than six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, ensure that the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other similar documents) of each Company Subsidiary shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses for periods at or prior to the Effective Time than are currently set forth in the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws or the equivalent organizational documents of any Company Subsidiary. The contractual indemnification rights, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement with any of the directors, officers or employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation, without any further action, and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms following the Effective Time.

(e) Benefit. The provisions of this Section 5.09 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, each Indemnified Party’s heirs, executors or administrators and each Indemnified Party’s representatives, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation and shall not be amended in a manner that is adverse to any Indemnified Parties (including their successors, assigns and heirs) without the consent of the Indemnified Party (including the successors, assigns and heirs) affected thereby.

(f) Non-Exclusivity. The provisions of this Section 5.09 are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by Contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 5.09, is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or the Indemnified Parties, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.09 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

57

Section 5.10 Takeover Statutes. The parties hereto shall use all reasonable efforts (a) to take all action necessary so that no Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to restrict or prohibit the Merger or the other Transactions and (b) if any Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to restrict or prohibit any of the foregoing, to take all action reasonably necessary so that the Merger and the other Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize (to the greatest extent practicable) the effects of such Takeover Statute on such Transactions.

Section 5.11 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the later of (i) December 31, 2020 and (ii) twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) to, provide each individual who is an employee of the Company or a Company Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Employee”) with (A) a base salary or base wage rate, as applicable, that is no less than the base salary or base wage rate as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, (B) annual cash incentive compensation opportunities that are substantially comparable to the annual cash incentive compensation opportunities as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, (C) severance payments and benefits that are substantially comparable to the severance payments and benefits provided under the Company Benefits Plans immediately prior to the Closing, and (D) employee benefits that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable to the employee benefits (other than severance, equity and equity based compensation and other incentive compensation opportunities) provided immediately prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) shall be obligated to continue to employ any Company Employee for any specific period of time following the Closing Date, subject to applicable Law.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.11(a), Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, to, assume, honor and continue all of the Company Benefit Plans, in each case, in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to any payments, benefits or rights arising as a result of the Transactions (either alone or in combination with any other event).

(c) To the extent that service is relevant for any purpose including eligibility, benefit accrual and vesting (including, in order to calculate the amount of any paid time off and leave balance (including vacation and sick days), gratuities, severance and similar benefits (except, unless required by applicable Law, not for purposes of defined benefit pension benefit accruals)) under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) for the benefit of the Company Employees (the “Parent Plans”) following the Closing Date, such Parent Plan shall credit such Company Employees for service earned on and prior to the Closing Date with the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and any of their predecessors (in addition to service earned with Parent or any of Parent’s affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) after the Closing Date) to the same extent such service was recognized under the terms of any analogous Company Benefit Plan in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time or, to the extent such Parent Plan does not replace an analogous Company Benefit Plan, to the same extent that an employee’s service with Parent and any of its affiliates (including the Company and the Company subsidiaries) is recognized by the applicable Parent Plan; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

58

(d) Following the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiary (including the Surviving Corporation) to, waive any waiting periods and actively at work or evidence of insurability requirements and any limitations on eligibility, enrollment and benefits relating to any preexisting medical conditions of Company Employees and their eligible dependents. Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) to, maintain or establish, benefit plans that provide for health and welfare benefits and in which the Company Employees shall be eligible to participate as of the Closing Date, subject to satisfaction of eligibility provisions and after taking into account Section 5.11(c). Following the Closing Date, Parent shall recognize, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) to also recognize, for purposes of annual deductible and out of pocket limits under its Parent Plans providing health benefits, any deductible, coinsurance, copayments and out of pocket expenses paid by such Company Employees and their respective dependents under Company Benefit Plans in the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs to the extent such Company Employees participate in any such Parent Plans in such same calendar year.

(e) Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) to, maintain or establish a defined contribution plan that is intended to be tax-qualified (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”) and in which the Company Employees primarily providing services in the United States shall be eligible to participate as of the Closing Date, subject to satisfaction of eligibility provisions and after taking into account Section 5.11(c).

(f) Prior to making any written or material prepared oral communications to employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary regarding the Transactions, (i) the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication, (ii) Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication and (iii) the Company shall modify any such communications to incorporate Parent’s reasonable comments.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be constructed to (i) be treated as an amendment of any Company Benefit Plan or any other arrangement or create any rights or obligations except between the parties hereto, (ii) give any employee, director, independent contractor or former employee or any other individual associated therewith or any employee benefit plan or trustee thereof or any other third person any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies to enforce the provisions of this Section 5.11 or entitle any person not a party to this Agreement to assert any claim hereunder, or (iii) obligate Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their affiliates to (A) maintain any particular benefit plan or (B) retain the employment of any particular employee.

Section 5.12 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such expense. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the transactions contemplated in ARTICLE II. All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be paid when due by Parent, Sub or, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation.

59

Section 5.13 Rule 16b-3 Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall be permitted to take, and shall take, such actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to ensure that the dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) by any officer or director of the Company who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to the Transactions are exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.14 Defense of Litigation. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, notify Parent in writing of any stockholder litigation or other litigation or Proceedings brought or threatened in writing against the Company or any of its directors, officers, or representatives arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions. The Company shall control, and the Company shall, subject to such limitations as counsel to the Company reasonably determines are necessary to protect any attorney-client (or similar) privilege of the Company, give Parent a reasonable opportunity (at Parent’s expense) to participate in (but not control), and keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to any material developments regarding the defense of, any Proceeding brought by stockholders of the Company or other third party against the Company or its directors, officers or representatives arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions after the date hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not settle any such Proceeding without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 5.15 Stock Exchange De-listing and De-registration. Prior to and following the Effective Time, the Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to permit the Shares and any other security issued by the Company or one of the Company Subsidiaries and listed on the NYSE to be de-listed from the NYSE and de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as possible following the Effective Time.

Section 5.16 Director Resignation.

(b) Notification by Parent. From time to time prior to the Closing, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to disclose in writing to the Company, promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge by the individuals listed on Section 1.1(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter of, (i) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any fact or event that would be reasonably likely to prevent or materially delay the satisfaction of any condition set forth in ARTICLE VI, (ii) receipt by Parent or Sub of any written correspondence from any person alleging that the consent of such person is or may be required in connection with the consummation of the Merger, (iii) receipt by Parent or Sub of any written correspondence from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions (to the extent notification thereof to the Company is not prohibited by such Governmental Entity), or (iv) any representation or warranty made by it or Sub in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure of Parent or Sub to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in each case of this clause (iv) that would cause the failure of any condition set forth in ARTICLE VI to be satisfied at or prior to Closing; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the remedies of the parties hereto under this Agreement.

Section 5.18 Confidentiality. All obligations and restrictions upon Parent and its affiliates under the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to the assets and information of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall terminate simultaneously with the Closing, but all other obligations therein shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(e) by Parent, if: (i) there is a breach or inaccuracy of, or failure to perform or comply with, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement, in any case, which breach, inaccuracy or failure to perform or comply with would give rise to the failure of a condition contained in Section 6.02(a) or Section 6.02(b) to be satisfied; and (ii) either such breach, inaccuracy or failure to perform or comply with is (A) not capable of cure or (B) not cured within thirty (30) days following the date on which Parent delivers to the Company written notice of such breach, inaccuracy or failure to perform or comply with; provided, however, that Parent shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(e) if there is a breach or inaccuracy of, or a failure to perform or comply with, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Parent or Sub contained in this Agreement, in any case, such that a condition contained in Section 6.03(a) or Section 6.03(b) would not be satisfied;

65

(b) Company Termination Fee.

(i) If (A) this Agreement is validly terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(c) or (B) this Agreement is validly terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(d), then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee to Parent or its designee, within two (2) Business Days following the date of such termination described in clause (A) or prior to or concurrently with such termination by the Company described in clause (B).

(ii) If (A) this Agreement is validly terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i) or Section 7.01(b)(ii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(e), (B) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, a Competing Proposal was publicly disclosed or made known to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or shall have been made directly to the Company’s shareholders generally, and not withdrawn prior to such termination and (C) concurrently with or within twelve (12) months after the date of any such termination, (1) the Company or any Company Subsidiary enters into a definitive agreement to effect any Competing Proposal (regardless of when made or the counterparty thereto), or (2) any Competing Proposal (regardless of when made or the counterparty thereto) is consummated, then the Company shall pay to Parent or its designee or such designee the Company Termination Fee concurrently with the consummation of such Competing Proposal. For purposes of this Section 7.02(b)(ii), all references to “twenty percent (20%)” and “eighty percent (80%)” in the definition of “Competing Proposal” will be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%).”

(c) Parent Termination Fee. If this Agreement is validly terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(f) or Section 7.01(g), then Parent shall promptly pay the Parent Termination Fee to the Company or its designee, within two (2) Business Days following the date of such termination.

(d) Each of the Company, Parent and Sub acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 7.02 are an integral part of the Transactions and (ii) without these agreements, Parent, Sub and the Company would not enter into this Agreement. In no event shall the Company be required to pay to Parent more than one (1) Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.02(b). In no event shall Parent be required to pay to the Company (A) more than one (1) Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.02(c) or (B) the Parent Termination Fee and any other Damages. Subject to the indemnification and reimbursement obligations specifically set forth in this Agreement, in the event that Parent receives full payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.02(b) under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee was due and payable, the receipt by Parent of the Company Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of Parent or Sub against the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and each such person’s respective former, current and future, directors, managers, officers, employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors, agents, or other authorized representatives, stockholders, affiliates and assignees (collectively, but excluding the Company, the “Company Related Parties”) for any and all losses or Damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Sub, any of their respective affiliates or any other person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the Merger and the other

66

Transactions (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination; provided, however, that in the case of an Intentional Breach by the Company, Parent or Sub shall be permitted to seek Damages from the Company in excess of the Company Termination Fee. Subject to the indemnification and reimbursement obligations set forth in the last two sentences of Section 5.07(e) and the proviso in this sentence and the obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement (subject to the terms thereof) (the “Retained Claims”), in the event that the Company receives full payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.02(c) under circumstances where a Parent Termination Fee was due and payable, the receipt by the Company of the Parent Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Company against Parent, Sub, the Equity Financing Source, the Debt Financing Source and each such person’s respective former, current and future directors, managers, officers, employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors, agents, other authorized representatives, stockholders, affiliates and assignees (collectively, but excluding Parent and Sub, the “Parent Related Parties”), for any and all losses or Damages suffered as a result of the failure of the Closing to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder (whether an Intentional Breach or otherwise), and none of Parent, Sub, or any Parent Related Party shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, and the amount of the Parent Termination Fee is intended to serve as a cap on the maximum aggregate liability of Parent, Sub, and the Parent Related Parties in the event of such a termination for any and all losses or Damages suffered or incurred by the Company or any of its affiliates or any other person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the Merger and the other Transactions (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination; provided, however, if Parent fails to pay the Parent Termination Fee if and when payable pursuant to Section 7.02(c) and the Company commences suit that results in a final, non-appealable judgment against Parent for the payment to the Company of the Parent Termination Fee, then Parent shall pay the Company its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the Parent Termination Fee at the prime rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal) in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Section 7.02 shall be deemed to affect their respective rights to specific performance under Section 8.10 (subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein) in order to specifically enforce this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, (1) upon the Company’s acceptance of the Parent Termination Fee under circumstances when it is due and payable, the Company shall no longer be entitled to seek specific performance under Section 8.10 (other than in respect of the Retained Claims) and (2) upon Parent’s acceptance of the Company Termination Fee under circumstances when it is due and payable, as provided in Section 7.02(b), Parent and Sub shall no longer be entitled to seek specific performance under Section 8.10. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that neither (I) any payment of the Parent Termination Fee nor (II) any payment of the Company Termination Fee, is a penalty but is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that is intended to compensate the Company, Parent or Sub, as applicable, in the circumstances in which such fees are payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that in the case of an Intentional Breach by the Company, Parent or Sub shall be permitted to seek Damages from the Company in excess of the Company

67

Termination Fee and this sentence shall not be deemed to limit any party’s rights under Section 8.10. In the event that the Company accepts the Parent Termination Fee under circumstances when it is due and payable, as provided in Section 7.02(c), other than in respect of the Retained Claims, none of the Company, any Company Subsidiaries or any other person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any Proceeding against Parent, Sub or any of the Parent Related Parties or any of their respective affiliates arising out of this Agreement, any of the Transactions or matters forming the basis for such termination, and the Company shall cause any such Proceeding brought by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to be dismissed with prejudice promptly (or not undertaken, as applicable) and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days following the acceptance by the Company of the Parent Termination Fee under circumstances when it is due and payable. In the event that Parent accepts the Company Termination Fee under circumstances when it is due and payable, as provided in Section 7.02(b), none of the Parent or Sub shall be entitled to bring or maintain any Proceeding against the Company or any of the Company Related Parties or any of their respective affiliates arising out of this Agreement, any of the Transactions or matters forming the basis for such termination, and Parent shall cause any such Proceeding brought by Parent or any of its affiliates to be dismissed with prejudice promptly (or not undertaken, as applicable) and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days following the acceptance by Parent of the Company Termination Fee under circumstances when it is due and payable; provided, however, that in the case of an Intentional Breach by the Company, Parent or Sub shall be permitted to seek Damages from the Company in excess of the Company Termination Fee.

Section 7.03 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that (a) after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, there shall be made no amendment that by Law requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without the further approval of such stockholders, (b) no amendment shall be made to this Agreement after the Effective Time and (c) in the case of any amendments to or waivers of Section 7.02(d) (solely to the extent that there can be no recourse after the Parent Termination Fee has been paid-in-full), this Section 7.03, Section 7.04, Section 8.05, Section 8.08, Section 8.10, or Section 8.11 (or any other provision of this Agreement the amendment or waiver of which has the effect of modifying such provisions) that are materially adverse to the interests of the Debt Financing Sources, the Debt Financing Sources party to any Debt Commitment Letter then in effect. Except as required by Law, no amendment of this Agreement by the Company shall require the approval of the stockholders of the Company. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties.

Section 7.04 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (b) waive any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of the other contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance by the other with any of the covenants or conditions contained herein; provided, however, that after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, there may not be any extension or waiver of this Agreement that decreases the Merger Consideration or that adversely affects the rights of the Company’s stockholders hereunder without the approval of the Company’s stockholders at a duly convened meeting of the Company’s stockholders called to obtain approval of such extension or waiver. Any extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

Section 8.03 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is 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 an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 8.04 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Annexes, Exhibits, Company Disclosure Letter, the Parent Disclosure Letter and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto), the Guarantee, the Confidentiality Agreement and that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of July 18, 2019, by and between Parent and the Company 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 of this Agreement.

Section 8.05 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, each of Parent and Sub may (a) assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its respective affiliates, or (b) collaterally assign its rights and benefits hereunder to any Debt Financing Source; provided that no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Sub, as applicable, of their respective obligations hereunder and no such assignment shall be permitted if it would (i) affect, in a manner adverse to the Company, the obligations of any person who has committed to provide Equity Financing under the Equity Commitment Letter or the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee or (ii) prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the Transactions. Any assignment or transfer in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 8.06 Parties in Interest. Except for (a) ARTICLE II, which, after the Closing, shall be for the benefit of any person entitled to payment thereunder and (b) Section 5.09, which, after the Closing, shall be for the benefit of each Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party’s heirs, executors or administrators and each Indemnified Party’s representatives, each of whom shall be an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, Parent, Sub and the Company hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the other parties hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement; provided, that the persons named in clauses (a) and (b) of this sentence shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement. The parties further agree that the rights of third-party beneficiaries under clauses (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence shall not arise unless and until the Effective Time occurs. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties may be subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 7.04 without notice or liability to any other person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

Section 8.07 Mutual Drafting; Interpretation; Headings. Each party hereto has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: (a) the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; (b) the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; (c) the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and (d) the neuter gender shall include masculine and feminine genders. As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and words of similar meaning, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections,” “Annexes” and “Exhibits,” are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and the Annexes and Exhibits to this Agreement. All Annexes and Exhibits annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. All references in this Agreement to “$” are intended to refer to U.S. dollars. The term “or” shall not be deemed to be exclusive. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. References in this Agreement to “as of the date hereof,” “as of the date of this Agreement” or words of similar import shall be deemed to mean “as of immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement.” The word “unintentional”, when used in this Agreement, refers to the taking of an action, or failing to take an action, without actual knowledge that such action would be in violation of this Agreement. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in

71

any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The word “day”, unless otherwise indicated, shall be deemed to refer to a calendar day. If the last day for the giving of any notice or the performance of any act required or permitted under this Agreement is a day that is not a Business Day, then the time for the giving of such notice or the performance of such action shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that the Financing is the responsibility of Parent and Sub and not the Company or any Company Subsidiary and that (i) the Company makes no representations or warranties relating to the Financing (including whether the Company has authorized the Financing or whether any of the transactions contemplated by the Financing conflict with or violate any obligation of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or Contract to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party), (ii) except for Section 5.07(e), none of the covenants of the Company in this Agreement require the Company to take any action relating to the Financing and (iii) for purposes of the representations and warranties and covenants and obligations of the Company hereunder, the Transactions shall not include the Financing.

Section 8.08 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of Law thereof that would require the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties irrevocably agrees that any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any other party or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any Delaware state or federal court within the State of Delaware), and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions. Each of the parties hereto agrees not to commence any Proceeding relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described in this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process, and the parties hereto further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in the State of Delaware, as described in this Agreement, for any reason, (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) that (A) the Proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such Proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter of this Agreement, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-

72

claim, or third party claim of any kind or description, whether in Law or equity, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, against the Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof).

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ARISE UNDER THE DEBT COMMITMENT LETTER OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF, THE DEBT FINANCING CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR INVOLVING ANY DEBT FINANCING SOURCE 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 LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR UNDER THE DEBT COMMITMENT LETTER OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF, THE DEBT FINANCING CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR INVOLVING ANY DEBT FINANCING SOURCE. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (III) IT MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.08(C).

Section 8.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic delivery in .pdf format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 8.10 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed, or were threatened to be not performed, in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

(a) indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or if such person has previously been designated for indemnification by the resolution of the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”), an officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful;

(b) indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or if such person has previously been designated for indemnification by the resolution of the Board of Directors, an officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by each person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper;

- 2 -

(c) indemnify any director, or, if such person has previously been designated for indemnification by the resolution of the Board of Directors, an officer, employee or agent against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, to the extent that such director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 2(a) and 2(b) of this Article Fifth, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein;

(d) make any indemnification under Section 2(a) and 2(b) of this Article Fifth (unless ordered by a court) only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such director, officer, employee or agent has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 2(a) and 2(b) of this Article Fifth;

(e) pay expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Section 2 of Article Fifth. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be obligated to pay expenses incurred by a director or officer with respect to any threatened, pending, or completed claim, suit or action, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise (“Proceedings”) initiated or brought voluntarily by a director or officer and not by way of defense (other than Proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under the provisions of this Section 2 of Article Fifth unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the director or officer in such proceeding were not made in good faith or were frivolous). The Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify the director or offer for any amount paid in settlement of a Proceeding covered hereby without the prior written consent of the Corporation to such settlement;

(f) not deem the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this Section 2 of Article Fifth exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such director’s or officer’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office;

(g) have the right, authority and power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 2 of Article Fifth;

(h) deem the provisions of this Section 2 of Article Fifth to be a contract between the Corporation and each director, or appropriately designated officer, employee or agent who serves in such capacity at any time while this Section 2 of Article Fifth is in effect and any repeal or modification of this Section 2 of Article Fifth shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon Such

state of facts. The provisions of this Section 2 of Article Fifth not be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and any directors, officers, employees or agents of any other Corporation (the “Second Corporation”) which shall merge into or consolidate with this Corporation when this Corporation shall be the surviving or resulting Corporation, and any such directors, officers, employees or agents of the Second Corporation shall be indemnified to the extent required under the DGCL only at the discretion of the Board of Directors of this Corporation; and

(i) continue the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 2 of Article Fifth, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation and such rights shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

SIXTH: Except as may be expressly provided in this Certificate, the Corporation reserves the right at any time and from time to time to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate, and any other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed herein or by applicable law, and all rights, preferences and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons whomsoever by and pursuant to this Certificate in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the right reserved in this Article Sixth; provided, however, that any amendment or repeal of Article Sixth of this Certificate shall not adversely affect any right or protection existing thereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
