AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of June 24, 2014 (this “Agreement”), by and among Owens & Minor, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Parent”), Mongoose Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Medical Action Industries Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” and together with Parent and Merger Sub, collectively, the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub have each approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, a certain stockholder of the Company is entering into an agreement with Parent (the “Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which, subject to the terms thereof, such stockholder has agreed, among other things, to vote its shares of Company Common Stock in favor of the adoption of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company each desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger; Effective Time of the Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, in accordance with provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). At the Closing, the Parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger prepared and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later time as shall be agreed upon by Parent and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 9:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on a date to be specified by the Parties, which shall be no later than the second Business Day after satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with this Agreement) of the last to occur of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than any such conditions which by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date, which shall be required to be so satisfied or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waived in accordance

with this Agreement on the Closing Date), at the offices of Vinson & Elkins LLP, 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York, unless another date or place is agreed to in writing by the Parties (such date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”). “Business Day” means any day other than a day on which banks in the State of New York or the State of Delaware are authorized or obligated to be closed.

Section 1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue its existence under the laws of the State of Delaware as the surviving corporation (in such capacity, the Company is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation”). The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

Section 1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended, subject to Section 5.6(b), in accordance with their respective terms and applicable law.

Section 1.5 Directors and Officers. From and after the Effective Time, the directors and officers of Merger Sub shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, and such directors and officers shall serve until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK

OF THE COMPANY AND MERGER SUB; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party, any Person or any holder of any securities of any Person:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully-paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, so that, after the Effective Time, Parent shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Corporation’s common stock.

(b) Capital Stock of the Company.

(i) Subject to the other provisions of this Article II, each share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Company Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any shares of Company Common Stock described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.1(b) and any Appraisal Shares) shall be converted only into the right to receive $13.80 in cash payable to the holder thereof, without interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”). All such

shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist (subject to the right to receive Merger Consideration as described herein). Each holder of a Certificate previously representing any such shares or Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, to be paid in consideration thereof upon the surrender of such Certificates in accordance with Section 2.5, in the case of certificated shares, and automatically, in the case of Book-Entry Shares.

(ii) All shares of Company Common Stock held by the Company as treasury shares or by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist as of the Effective Time and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable therefor.

(iii) All shares of Company Common Stock held by any Subsidiary of any of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time and no Merger Consideration shall be delivered with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock.

(c) Impact of Stock Splits, etc. In the event of any change in the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or the like, the Merger Consideration to be paid for each share of Company Common Stock as provided in this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

Section 2.2 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary (but subject to this Section 2.2), shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any record holder who has not voted in favor of or consented to the Merger and who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded to be paid fair value of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Appraisal Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(b), but instead at the Effective Time the holders of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL shall be forfeited and cease and each of such holder’s Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive, without interest thereon, the Merger Consideration. The Company shall deliver prompt notice to Parent of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock and provide Parent with the opportunity to reasonably participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or timely take any other action to perfect appraisal rights with respect to any such demands.

Section 2.3 Treatment of Company Stock Options. Each of Parent and the Company shall take all such actions as are reasonably necessary, to cause at the Effective Time each option for the purchase of Company Common Stock (“Company Stock Option”) then outstanding, whether or not exercisable, whether under the Company’s 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, 1989 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan or 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (together, the “Company Stock Plans”) or otherwise, to become fully exercisable (if not then fully exercisable), and such options shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the following consideration: for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Merger Consideration payable in respect of a share of Company Common Stock over (ii) the per share exercise price of such Company Stock Option (such amount in cash as described above, the “Option Consideration”). Each Company Stock Option with a per share exercise price in excess of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of a share of Company Common Stock shall be cancelled without consideration. The actions described in the preceding sentence shall occur at the Effective Time without any action on the part of Merger Sub, Parent or any of their respective stockholders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board or applicable committee administering each Company Stock Plan shall use their interpretative authority pursuant to the Company Stock Plans to allow for, and adopt any resolutions reasonably necessary to effectuate, the foregoing. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay the Option Consideration to the holders of Company Stock Options as soon as practicable (and no later than thirty (30) days) following the Closing Date.

Section 2.4 Treatment of Restricted Company Common Stock. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the restrictions applicable to each share of restricted Company Common Stock issued pursuant to the Company Stock Plans (a “Company Restricted Share”) shall immediately lapse, and, at the Effective Time, each share of such Company Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board or applicable committee administering each Company Stock Plan shall use their interpretative authority pursuant to the Company Stock Plans to allow for, and adopt any resolutions reasonably necessary to effectuate, the foregoing.

Section 2.5 Payment for Securities.

(a) Paying Agent; Payment Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement with the Company’s transfer agent (or another entity reasonably acceptable to the Company) to act as agent for the holders of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”) and to receive the Merger Consideration to which such holders shall become entitled pursuant to this Article II. On the Closing Date and prior to the filing of the Certificate of Merger, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the former holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for payment in accordance with this Article II through the Paying Agent, cash in an amount sufficient to permit payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1 (the “Payment Fund”). The Paying Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1, in each case, out of the Payment Fund. The

Payment Fund shall be invested as reasonably directed by Parent. If for any reason (including losses) the Payment Fund is inadequate to pay any of the amounts to which holders of shares of Company Common Stock shall be entitled under Section 2.1, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation promptly to deposit in trust additional cash with the Paying Agent sufficient to make all payments required under this Agreement, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall in any event be liable for prompt payment thereof. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose other than to fund payments due pursuant to Section 2.1. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of shares for the Merger Consideration and the surrender of Company Stock Options for the Option Consideration. Any interest or other income resulting from investment of the Payment Fund shall be payable to the Surviving Corporation or its designee, as the Surviving Corporation directs.

(b) Payment Procedures.

(i) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to deliver to each record holder, as of the Effective Time, of an outstanding certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) a letter of transmittal (“Letter of Transmittal”) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and which shall be in a customary form and agreed to by Parent and the Company prior to the Closing) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates for payment of the Merger Consideration set forth in Section 2.1(b)(i).

(ii) Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate, together with the Letter of Transmittal, completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive (and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to promptly deliver to such holder) in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share formerly represented by such Certificate and such Certificate shall then be canceled. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates on the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Certificates. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to an individual, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, joint stock company, trust, estate, joint venture, association or unincorporated organization, or any other form of business or professional entity (excluding a Governmental Entity, “Person”), other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.5(b)(ii), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (A) any holder of shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) 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 and (B) Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to promptly deliver to each holder of a Book-Entry Share the Merger Consideration for each of such holder’s Book-Entry Shares.

(c) Termination of Rights. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock. After the close of business on the date of the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates (other than certificates evidencing shares described in clause (ii) of Section 2.1(b)) are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificates as provided in this Article II.

(d) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to the former stockholders or optionholders of the Company on the first anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any former common stockholders of the Company who have not theretofore received the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled under this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation and Parent for payment of any such amounts.

(e) No Liability. Neither the Surviving Corporation nor Parent shall be liable to any holder of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Option for any amount of Merger Consideration or Option Consideration, as applicable, delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(f) Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate (other than a Certificate evidencing shares described in clause (ii) of Section 2.1(b)) shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the amount of Merger Consideration payable in respect of the number of shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(g) Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options pursuant to this Agreement any amount required to be deducted and

withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax laws. To the extent that amounts are so properly withheld by the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options, as applicable, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except (i) as set forth on the disclosure schedule dated as of the date hereof and delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub on or prior to the date hereof (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”) and (ii) as disclosed in the Company SEC Documents filed by the Company since June 13, 2013 (but excluding any forward-looking disclosure set forth in any risk factor section, any disclosures in any section that constitutes a forward-looking statement and any other disclosures included therein to the extent they are non-specific, predictive, cautionary or forward-looking in nature), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

(a) Organization, Standing and Power. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a corporation or limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has all requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and other assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and is duly qualified and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the business it is conducting, or the operation, ownership or leasing of its properties and other assets, makes such qualification necessary, other than where the failure so to qualify or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has heretofore made available to Parent complete and correct copies of its certificate of incorporation (the “Company Certificate of Incorporation”), and its amended and restated bylaws (the “Company Bylaws”) as well as the similar organizational documents of each Subsidiary. The respective jurisdictions of incorporation or organization of each Subsidiary of the Company are identified on Schedule 3.1(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. A “Company Material Adverse Effect” means any occurrence, condition, change, development, circumstance, event or effect that, individually or in the aggregate with all other occurrences, conditions, changes, developments, circumstances, events or effects, (i) is, or would reasonably be expected to be, materially adverse to the condition (financial or otherwise), business, assets or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, however, that in no event shall any of the following constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect: (A) any occurrence, condition, change, development, circumstance, event or effect resulting from or relating to changes in general economic, regulatory, or political conditions or worldwide financial markets; (B) any occurrence, condition, change, development, circumstance, event or effect that generally affects any of the industries of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including changes in commodity prices, general market prices and regulatory changes generally affecting any of such industries); (C) any occurrence, condition, change, development, circumstance, event or effect resulting from or relating to fluctuations in the value of currencies; (D) any occurrence, condition, change, event

or effect resulting from or relating to the outbreak or escalation of hostilities, the declaration of a national emergency or war or the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis, including natural disasters and acts of terrorism, in each case involving the United States and arising after the date of this Agreement; (E) any occurrence, condition, change, development, circumstance, event or effect resulting from or relating to the announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (F) any change in the trading prices or trading volume of the Company’s capital stock (it being understood that the facts or occurrences giving rise or contributing to such change that are not otherwise excluded from the definition of a “Company Material Adverse Effect” may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a “Company Material Adverse Effect”); (G) any change in accounting requirements or principles imposed upon the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or any change in law, regulation or rule or the interpretation thereof in each case arising after the date of this Agreement; (H) any occurrence, condition, change, event or effect resulting from or relating to actions taken by Parent or any of its Affiliates, other than any action reasonably taken in response to a breach of this Agreement by the Company or its Subsidiaries; (I) the failure of the Company to meet internal or analysts’ expectations or projections (it being understood that the facts or occurrences giving rise or contributing to such failure that are not otherwise excluded from the definition of a “Company Material Adverse Effect” may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a “Company Material Adverse Effect”); and (J) compliance by the Company (directly or indirectly) with any of the terms of this Agreement; except, with respect to clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D), to the extent that such occurrence, condition, change, development, circumstance, event or effect is disproportionately adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as compared to other companies operating in the industries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or (ii) prevents or materially delays or impairs the ability of the Company to consummate the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. “Subsidiary” means, with respect to any Person, any corporation or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, of which: (1) such Person or any other Subsidiary of such party is a general partner; or (2) at least a majority of the securities or other interests having by their terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or others performing similar functions with respect to such corporation or other organization is, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by such Person or by any one or more of its Subsidiaries.

(b) Capital Structure. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 40,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Company Preferred Stock”). At the close of business on June 24, 2014: (A) 16,392,503 shares of Company Common Stock were issued and outstanding, including no Company Restricted Shares; (B) 2,816,376 shares of Company Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company Stock Plans, of which 1,621,125 shares of Company Common Stock were subject to issuance upon exercise of outstanding Company Stock Options; (C) no shares of Company Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding; and (D) no Voting Debt was issued and outstanding. The term “Voting Debt” means bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness or obligations having the right to vote (or convertible into securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which stockholders of the Company may vote. All outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and are not subject to preemptive rights. All outstanding shares of capital stock of the Subsidiaries of the Company are owned by the Company, or a direct or

(p) Properties.

(i) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries have good, valid and marketable fee title and leasehold title, as applicable, to all of the Real Property (as hereinafter defined) and good, valid and marketable title to all personal properties and assets, tangible and intangible, that they purport to own, and the leasehold interest in all personal property that they purport to lease, including the properties and assets reflected in the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014 filed with the SEC, but excluding any property or assets that are no longer used or useful for the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as presently conducted or that have been disposed of in the ordinary course of business. All such properties and assets are free and clear of all Encumbrances, except for (i) routine statutory liens securing liabilities not yet due and payable, (ii) Encumbrances that do not materially detract from the value of the specific asset affected or materially adversely affect the present use or, as applicable, the occupancy of such asset, (iii) Encumbrances would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, (iv) Encumbrances existing or expressly permitted pursuant to credit facilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries existing as of the date of this Agreement, and (v) Encumbrances set forth on Schedule 3.1(p)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (collectively, “Permitted Encumbrances”).

The lease or sublease for each leased real property to which the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is a party is valid, legally

(v) Certain Contracts and Arrangements. Schedule 3.1(v) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, together with the lists of exhibits contained in the Company SEC Documents, sets forth a correct and complete list, as of the date of this Agreement, of (i) each agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (other than this Agreement) that is of a type that would be required to be included as an exhibit to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 pursuant to Items 601(b)(2), (4), (9) or (10) of Regulation S-K of the SEC if such a registration statement was filed by the Company on the date of this Agreement; (ii) any non-competition agreement or other agreement that purports to limit the manner in which, or the localities in which, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may compete in any business; (iii) any supply or sales contract of one year or greater remaining duration having an aggregate value, or involving payment by or to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of more than $1.5 million; (iv) any contract or agreement relating to the borrowing of money or extension of credit pursuant to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has a borrowing capacity of more than $500,000 million or outstanding indebtedness of more than $500,000; (v) any material contract or agreement with respect to any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangements; (vi) any contract or agreement that prohibits the payment of dividends or distributions in respect of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, prohibits the pledging of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or prohibits the issuance of guarantees by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (vii) any contract or agreement (or a related series of contracts or agreements) for the acquisition or disposition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of assets with a value of more than $500,000 or with respect to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has continuing indemnification, “earn-out” or other contingent payment obligations, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to result in payments in excess of $500,000; and (viii) any Contract that would prevent, materially delay or materially impede the Company’s ability to consummate the Merger (collectively, the “Company Contracts”). Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in breach or default under any Company Contract nor, to the knowledge of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, is any other party to any such Company Contract in breach or default thereunder. The Company has delivered or made available to Parent prior to the date hereof true and complete copies of each Company Contract (including an amendments, waivers or modifications thereto) in existence (and pursuant to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has further obligations after the date hereof) as of the date hereof. Each such Company Contract is valid and in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, subject to enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity, except to the extent that (A) they have previously expired in accordance with their terms or (B) the failure to be in full force and effect, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(w) State Takeover Statutes. No “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “business combination” or other similar antitakeover statute or regulation enacted under state or federal laws in the United States (with the exception of Section 203 of the DGCL (“Section 203”)), nor any takeover-related provision in the Company Certificate or Company Bylaws, would (i) prohibit or restrict the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement, any related agreement or the Certificate of Merger or its ability to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) have the effect of invalidating or voiding this Agreement, or the Certificate of Merger, or any provision hereof or thereof, or (iii) subject Parent or Merger Sub to any impediment or condition in connection with the exercise of any of its rights under this Agreement, the Voting Agreement or the Certificate of Merger. The Company does not have any stockholder rights plan in effect.

(i) Affiliate Transactions. Since January 1, 2012, there have been no transactions, agreements, arrangements or understandings between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on the one hand, and the Affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, an “Affiliate”) of the Company on the other hand (other than the Company’s Subsidiaries), that would be required to be disclosed under Item 404 under Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and that has not been so disclosed.

Except for such matters that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with, and have not engaged in any activities which are prohibited by, the laws, rules, regulations and orders of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) and its sub-agencies (including but not limited to the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”)) or any analogous Governmental Entity. There are no actual or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened investigations or material enforcement actions, or any facts furnishing a reasonable basis for the same, by DHHS or its sub-agencies, or any analogous federal, state, local, domestic, or international Governmental Entity which has jurisdiction over the operations of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries of the Company. Since January 1, 2012, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of any pending or threatened material claim by DHHS, its sub-agencies or any analogous federal, state, local, domestic or international Governmental Entity which has jurisdiction over the operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries against the Company or the Company’s Subsidiaries.

Parent and Merger Sub each has heretofore made available to the Company complete and correct copies of its certificate of incorporation or articles of incorporation, as applicable, and bylaws, each as amended to date. “Parent Material Adverse Effect” means any occurrence, condition, change, development, circumstance, event or effect that prevents or materially delays or impairs the ability of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iii) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, or filing with, or permit from, any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub or the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby except for: (A) the filing of a premerger notification report by Parent under the HSR Act and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period with respect thereto; (B) the filing with the SEC of such reports under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and such other compliance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder as may be required in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; (C) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; and (D) any such other consent, approval, order, authorization, registration, filing, or permit that the failure to obtain or would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Parent for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, at the date mailed to stockholders of the Company or at the time of the meeting of such stockholders to be held in connection with the Merger, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

Parent has no reason to believe that such cash, lines of credit or other sources of immediately available funds shall not be available.

(f) Solvency; Surviving Corporation After the Merger. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors. Assuming (i) satisfaction of the conditions to Parent’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, or waiver of such conditions, (ii) that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (for such purposes, without giving effect to any materiality or “Company Material Adverse Effect” qualification or exception), (iii) compliance by the Company in all material respects of its covenants contained herein and (iv) immediate prior the Effective Time, the Company is solvent, at and immediately after the Effective Time, and after giving effect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the Surviving Corporation will be solvent.

(i) No Business Conduct. Merger Sub was incorporated on June 20, 2014. Since its inception, Merger Sub has not engaged in any activity, other than such actions in connection with (i) its organization and (ii) the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Merger Sub has no

operations, has not generated any revenues and has no liabilities other than those incurred in connection with the foregoing and in association with the Merger as provided in this Agreement.

The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal with any Person conducted and request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished in connection with an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a), at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Vote, in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that the Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal advisors and financial advisors) constitutes or reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and which Acquisition Proposal was not solicited after the date hereof by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives and was made after the date hereof and did not otherwise result from a breach of Section 4.2(a), the Company may, subject to compliance with this Section 4.2, (i) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the person making such Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive to such person than the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, however, that all such information has previously been provided to Parent or is provided to Parent prior to or substantially concurrent with the time it is provided to such Person, and (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such Acquisition Proposal, if and only to the extent that in connection with the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, that the failure to take such action would be (or would be reasonably likely to be) inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under Delaware law.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Board shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(d) with respect to a Superior Proposal unless (i) the Company has complied in all material respects with this Section 4.2, (ii) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing, at least four (4) Business Days before taking that action, of its intention to do so in response to an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal (in which case such notification shall have attached thereto the most current version of any proposed agreement or a detailed summary of the material terms of any such proposal and the identity of the offeror) and (iii) during such four-Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company and its Representatives shall engage in good faith negotiations with Parent and its Representatives to amend this Agreement in such a manner that any Acquisition Proposal which was determined to constitute a Superior Proposal no longer is a Superior Proposal (taking into account any changes to the financial terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent following the notice provided pursuant to Section 4.2(c)(ii)) (it being understood that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of the Acquisition Proposal which was determined to constitute a Superior Proposal shall require a new written notification from the Company and the Company shall be required to comply against with this Section 4.2(c), except that references to the four (4) Business Day period shall be deemed references to a two-Business Day period).

(d) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 4.2, the Company shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours after receipt) notify Parent orally and in writing of any Acquisition Proposal, such notice to include the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal and a copy of such Acquisition Proposal, including draft agreements or term sheets submitted in connection therewith (or, where no such copy is available, a reasonably detailed description of such

Acquisition Proposal), including any modifications thereto. The Company shall (i) keep Parent reasonably informed in all material respects of the status and details (including any change to the terms thereof) of any Acquisition Proposal and (ii) provide to Parent as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence and other written material sent or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from any person that describes any of the terms or conditions of any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall not, and shall cause the Company’s Subsidiaries not to, enter into any Contract with any person subsequent to the date of this Agreement that prohibits the Company from providing such information to Parent.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 4.2 shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a)(2) or (3) under the Exchange Act or making a statement required under Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that (i) any such disclosure (other than issuance by the Company of a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) that addresses or relates to the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Board with respect to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Board, in connection with such communication, publicly reaffirms the Company Recommendation, and (ii) in no event shall the Company or the Board or any committee thereof take, or agree or resolve to take, any action prohibited by Section 4.2(b).

(f) “Acquisition Proposal” means any bona fide inquiry, contract, proposal, offer or indication of interest relating to any transaction or series of related transactions (other than transactions with Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) involving: (i) any merger, business combination, amalgamation, share exchange, recapitalization, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) any direct or indirect acquisition by any Person or “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of any business or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including capital stock of or ownership interest in any Subsidiary) that generated 20% or more of the Company’s consolidated net revenue or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the preceding twelve months or that represents 20% or more of the consolidated assets (based on fair market value of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole immediately prior to such transaction, or any joint venture, license, lease or long-term supply agreement having a similar economic effect; or (iii) any acquisition of beneficial ownership (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) by any Person or “group” of 20% or more of the voting stock of the Company or any tender or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person or group beneficially owning 20% or more of the voting stock of the Company. “Superior Proposal” means any Acquisition Proposal (with the percentages set forth in the definition of such term changed from 20% to 50%), that in the good faith determination of the Board, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal advisors and after taking into account relevant legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal (including, but not limited to, any break-up fee, expense reimbursement provisions, conditions and timing to consummation, form of consideration and financing terms) and the Person or group making such proposal, would, if consummated in accordance with its terms, result in a transaction that is (A) more favorable to the stockholders of the Company from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (after giving effect to any changes to the financial terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to such offer or otherwise) and (B) reasonably capable of being completed on the terms set forth in the offer.

The Company shall notify Parent of the receipt of any comments of the SEC staff with respect to the preliminary Proxy Statement and of any requests by the SEC for any amendment or supplement thereto or for additional information and shall provide to Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable copies of all written correspondence between the Company or any representative of the Company and the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement.

Section 5.2 Access to Information. Subject to Antitrust Laws, the Company shall afford to Parent and its Representatives reasonable access, at reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice, to the officers, employees, properties, offices and other facilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to their books, records, contracts and documents and shall furnish reasonably promptly to Parent and its Representatives such information concerning the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business (including financial, operating and other data), properties, assets, contracts, records and personnel as may be reasonably requested, from time to time, by or on behalf of Parent. Each of Parent and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries or otherwise cause any unreasonable interference with the prompt and timely discharge by the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries of their normal duties. With respect to any person, “Representatives” shall mean, collectively, such person’s

officers, directors, employees, accountants, consultants, agents, legal counsel, financial advisors and other representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2, the Company shall not be required to, or to cause any of its Subsidiaries to, grant access or furnish information to Parent or any of its Representatives to the extent that such information is subject to an attorney/client or attorney work product privilege or that such access or the furnishing of such information is prohibited by law or an existing contract or agreement (it being agreed that the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that does not cause such jeopardization or contravention). The Confidentiality Agreement dated as of March 11, 2014 between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and, subject to Section 7.5, shall apply to all information furnished thereunder or hereunder and any other activities contemplated thereby.

Section 5.3 Stockholders’ Meeting. The Company shall call, hold and convene a meeting of its stockholders to consider the adoption of this Agreement, to be held as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof. Subject to an Adverse Recommendation Change expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.2(c) or this Section 5.3, (i) the Board shall recommend that the stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement (the “Company Recommendation”) at the Company’s stockholders’ meeting and the Board shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from stockholders of the Company proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the Board has recommended that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of adoption of this Agreement at the Company’s stockholders’ meeting. The Board shall not (i) withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify (or publicly propose to withdraw, modify or qualify) in any manner adverse to Parent the Company Recommendation or (ii) adopt, approve or recommend, endorse or otherwise declare advisable the adoption of any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in clauses (i) or (ii) being referred to herein as a “Adverse Recommendation Change”); provided that, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Vote, the Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change only if the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, that (A) the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under Delaware law and (B) if such Adverse Recommendation Change is made in response to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company has complied with Section 4.2(c); provided that no Adverse Recommendation Change may be made in response to an Acquisition Proposal and the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d) unless the Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal. In any case in which the Company makes an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 4.2, unless this Agreement is terminated, (1) the Company shall nevertheless submit this Agreement to a vote of its stockholders and (2) the Proxy Statement and any and all accompanying materials (including the proxy card (which shall provide that signed proxies which do not specify the manner in which the shares of Company Common Stock subject thereto are to be voted shall be voted “FOR” adopting this Agreement), the “Proxy Materials”)) shall be identical in form and content to Proxy Materials that would have been prepared by the Company had no Adverse Recommendation Change been made, except for appropriate changes to the disclosure in the Proxy Statement stating that such Adverse Recommendation Change has been made. If the Company has complied with its obligations pursuant to Section 4.2, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Company’s stockholders’ meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the

Proxy Statement is provided to the Company’s stockholders or, if as of the time for which the Company’s stockholders’ 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 business at such meeting; provided, however, that no adjournment may be to a date on or after three Business Days prior to the date set forth in Section 7.1(b)(ii).

Section 5.4 HSR and Other Approvals.

(a) Except for the filings and notifications made pursuant to the Premerger Notification Rules or other applicable Antitrust Laws to which Sections 5.4(b) and 5.4(c), and not this Section 5.4(a), shall apply, promptly following the execution of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall (i) proceed to prepare and file with the appropriate Governmental Entities all authorizations, consents, notifications, certifications, registrations, declarations and filings that are necessary in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall diligently and expeditiously prosecute, and shall cooperate fully with each other in the prosecution of, such matters and (ii) use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all required consents, approval or waivers from third parties (other than Governmental Entities), including under any Material Contract as may be necessary in order to consummated the transaction contemplate by this Agreement.

(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the execution of this Agreement, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, the Parties shall make all pre-merger notification filings required under the HSR Act pursuant to the pre-merger notification rules identified therein (the “Premerger Notification Rules”). Each of Parent and the Company shall cooperate fully with each other and shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filings under any Premerger Notification Rules. Unless otherwise agreed, Parent and the Company shall each use its reasonable best efforts to ensure the prompt expiration of any applicable waiting period under any Premerger Notification Rules. Parent and the Company shall each use its reasonable best efforts to respond to and comply with any request for information from any Governmental Entity charged with enforcing, applying, administering, or investigating any statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions for the purpose or effect of monopolization, restraining trade or abusing a dominant position or requiring a notification of this transaction pursuant to an Antitrust Law, HSR Act or merger control regulation or regime (collectively, “Antitrust Laws”), including the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, any attorney general of any state of the United States, the European Commission, or any other competition authority or court of any jurisdiction to enforce Antitrust Laws (“Antitrust Authority”). Subject to applicable law and instructions from any Governmental Entity, Parent and the Company shall keep each other apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from any Governmental Entity, including promptly furnishing the other with notices or other written communications received by Parent or the Company, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, from any Governmental Entity and/or third party with respect to such transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Parent shall take all action necessary (and which Parent is lawfully capable of taking) to obtain the expiration of any applicable waiting period, obtain any clearance or approval and to prevent any Antitrust Authority or other Person, as the case may be, from filing any action with a Governmental Entity, which, if the Antitrust Authority or other Person prevailed, would, permanently or temporarily restrain, enjoin or otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger beyond the Termination Date, including entering into an agreement to (i) sell or otherwise dispose of, or hold separate and agree to sell or otherwise dispose of, assets, categories of assets or businesses of the Company or Parent or their respective Subsidiaries; (ii) terminate existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations of the Company or Parent or their respective Subsidiaries; (iii) terminate or create any relevant venture or other arrangement; (iv) create any relationship and contractual rights and obligations of the Company or Parent or their respective Subsidiaries; or (v) effectuate any other change or restructuring of the Company or Parent (and, in each case, to enter into agreements or stipulate to the entry of an order or decree or file appropriate applications with any Antitrust Authority in connection with any of the foregoing) (each a “Divestiture Action”). Parent or Merger Sub must offer any Divestiture Action to an Antitrust Authority such that all applicable waiting periods expire and all clearances and approvals are obtained prior to the Termination Date. In the event that any action is threatened or instituted challenging the Merger as violative of any Premerger Notification Rule or other Antitrust Law, Parent shall take such action, including any Divestiture Action, as may be necessary to avoid, resist or resolve such action. Parent shall be entitled to direct (after consultation with the Company) any Antitrust Authority or other Person relating to any of the foregoing. Neither Parent nor Company shall initiate or participate in any meeting or communication with an Antitrust Authority or Governmental Entity relating to the Antitrust Laws without the participation of the other Party, unless such participation is prohibited by the Antitrust Authority or Governmental Entity. The Company and its Subsidiaries will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as reasonably requested by Parent in connection with obtaining any actions, consents, approvals or waivers with respect to the Antitrust Laws, provided that Parent will in good faith consider any views or input provided by the Company with respect to such matters. In addition, in the event that any permanent or preliminary injunction or other order is entered or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered in any proceeding that would make consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unlawful or that would restrain, enjoin or otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent shall take promptly any and all steps necessary to vacate, modify or suspend such injunction or order so as to permit such consummation prior to the Termination Date.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Agreement that may be to the contrary, including Section 5.4(c), (1) neither Parent nor the Company shall be required to take any Divestiture Action that is not conditioned upon consummation of the Merger, (2) the Company shall not agree to take any Divestiture Action without the consent of Parent and (3) Parent shall not be required to take (pursuant to this Section 5.4 or any other provision of this Agreement) any action (including a Divestiture Action) to the extent such action (including a Divestiture Action), individually or in the aggregate with all other actions (including Divestiture Actions), would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the combined businesses of Parent, the Company and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 5.5 Employee Matters.

(a) From the Effective Time through December 31, 2015, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide (x) each of the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who, as of the Effective Time, remains in the active employment of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Company Employees”) with base salary and an annual cash incentive target opportunity that, in the aggregate, are no less favorable than those provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Company Employees in the aggregate with employee benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those employee benefits (excluding defined benefit pension, retiree medical and equity-based compensation) provided to Company Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor, in accordance with its terms, each Employee Benefit Plan and all obligations thereunder including any rights or benefits arising as a result of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (either alone or in combination with any other event, including termination of employment); provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any such arrangement in accordance with its terms, and Parent hereby agrees and acknowledges that the consummation of the Merger constitutes a “change of control” or a “change in control” or similar term, as the case may be, for all purposes under the Employee Benefit Plans listed on Schedule 5.5(b) to the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(c) With respect to any “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates (including any vacation, paid time-off and severance plans), for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting, benefit accruals (other than for purposes of any defined benefit pension plan) and early retirement subsidies, each Company Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with the Surviving Corporation or its Affiliates to the same extent such service was credited under similar Employee Benefit Plans prior to the Closing; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(d) Parent shall, or shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Surviving Corporation to, waive any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates in which Company Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Employee Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, recognize the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time.

(e) The Company will provide final copies of 280G calculations with respect to employees, directors, independent contractors and stockholders of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (together with the underlying assumptions and documentation on which such calculations are based) no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing.

(f) At the Closing, the Company shall provide Parent with a true and accurate list of all “employment losses” as that term is used in the WARN Act at the Company or any of its Affiliates that occurred in the ninety (90) calendar days preceding the Closing Date, showing each employee’s name, position, date of separation, employer name, facility, operating unit and reason for separation from employment (the “Employment Loss List”). Provided that the Employment Loss List is supplied to Parent, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide any required notice under the WARN Act, and to otherwise comply with the WARN Act with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) affecting the Company Employees (including as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and occurring from and after the Effective Time. Parent shall not, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries not to, take any action on or after the Effective Time that would cause any termination of employment of any employees by the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries that occurs on or prior to the Effective Time to require that notice have been given under the WARN Act for any such employment terminations. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation, to provide any required notice under the WARN Act, and to otherwise comply with the WARN Act with respect to any such plant closing or mass layoff affecting Company Employees and occurring prior to the Effective Time.

(g) The provisions of this Section 5.5 are for the sole benefit of the Parties and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any current or former employees, directors, or independent contractors of any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or on or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), other than the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 5.5. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring, and the Company shall take no action that would have the effect of requiring, Parent or the Surviving Corporation to continue any specific employee benefit plans or to continue the employment of any specific person, nor shall any provision herein be construed as an amendment to any Employee Benefit Plan.

Section 5.6 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) Without limiting any other rights that any Indemnified Person may have pursuant to any employment agreement, indemnification agreement or otherwise, from and after the Effective Time, from the Effective Time until the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or who acts as a fiduciary under any Employee Benefit Plan of the

Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Persons”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, fines, penalties, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement with the approval of the indemnifying party (not to be unreasonable withheld, conditioned or delayed) of or in connection with any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such Person is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, a fiduciary under any Employee Benefit Plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise or by reason of anything done or not done by such Person in any such capacity whether pertaining to any act or omission occurring or existing prior to, at or after the Effective Time and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (“Indemnified Liabilities”), including all Indemnified Liabilities based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Person in accordance with the constituent documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries). Any Indemnified Person wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.6, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall notify the Surviving Corporation (but the failure so to notify shall not relieve a Person from any liability that it may have under this Section 5.6 except to the extent such failure materially prejudices such Person’s position with respect to such claims) and shall deliver to Parent and the Surviving Corporation any undertaking required by applicable law, but without any requirement for the posting of a bond or any other terms or conditions other than those expressly set forth herein.

(b) From the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Surviving Corporation such that the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Surviving Corporation would contain provisions less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of former or present directors and officers than as are currently set forth in the Company’s certificate of incorporations and bylaws. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor any indemnification agreements between the Company and any of its directors, officers or employees existing immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Parent shall (or with Parent’s consent, the Company may) cause to be put in place and shall fully prepay immediately prior to the Effective Time a “tail” insurance policy with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in an amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters, acts or omissions existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided that Parent shall not be obligated to expend, nor shall the Company be permitted to expend, more than a single payment amount for such six (6) year period in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the annual premiums for the current policies of directors’ and officer’s liability insurance maintained by the Company to purchase such “tail” insurance.

(d) In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its 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, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.6. The provisions of this Section 5.6 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Parties and each Person entitled to indemnification or insurance coverage or expense advancement pursuant to this Section 5.6, and his, her or their respective heirs and representatives.

Section 5.7 Agreement to Defend. In the event any claim, action, suit, investigation or other legal or administrative proceeding by any Governmental Entity or other Person is commenced that questions the validity or legality of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeks damages in connection therewith, each of the Parties shall cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to defend against and respond thereto. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such claim, action, suit, investigation or other legal or administrative proceeding against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Section 5.8 Public Announcements. Each of the Parties shall consult with each other Party before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, give each other the reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, any such press release or other public statements, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as such Party may reasonably conclude may be required by applicable law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system. The Parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the Parties.

Section 5.9 Advice of Changes; SEC Filings. Subject to compliance with all applicable laws, the Company and Parent, as the case may be, shall confer on a regular basis with each other, report on operational matters and shall promptly advise each other orally and in writing of any change or event having, or which would be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be. The Company and Parent shall promptly provide each other (or their respective counsel) copies of all filings made by such Party or its Subsidiaries with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent, directly or indirectly, rights to control or direct the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision of the operations of each of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.10 Conveyance Taxes. Each of the Company and Parent shall (a) cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all Tax Returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any real property transfer or gains, sales, use, transfer, value added, stock transfer and stamp Taxes, any transfer, recording, registration and other fees and any similar Taxes which become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all applications or other documents regarding any applicable exemptions to any such Tax or fee, and (c) pay any such Tax or fee which becomes payable by it on or before the due date therefor.

Section 5.11 Investigation by Parent and Merger Sub; No Other Representations or Warranties.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that it has made its own inquiry and investigation into, and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning, the Company and its Subsidiaries and their businesses and operations, and Parent and Merger Sub have requested such documents and information from the Company as each such party considers material in determining whether to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. In connection with such investigation, Parent, Merger Sub and their representatives have received from the Company or its representatives certain other estimates, projections and other forecasts for the Company and its Subsidiaries and certain estimates, plans and budget information. Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections, forecasts, estimates, plans and budgets; that Parent and Merger Sub are familiar with such uncertainties; that Parent and Merger Sub are each taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets so furnished to them or their representatives; and that Parent and Merger Sub shall not (and shall cause all of their respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliates or any other Person acting on their behalf to not) assert any claim or cause of action against the Company or any of the Company’s direct or indirect partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, stockholders, Affiliates, consultants, counsel, accountants, investment bankers or representatives with respect thereto, or hold any such Person liable with respect thereto.

(b) Each of Parent and Merger Sub agrees that, except for the representations and warranties made by the Company that are expressly set forth in Section 3.1 of this Agreement, the Company has not made and shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty of any kind. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and Merger Sub agrees that none of the Company, any holder of the Company’s securities or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives, makes or has made any representation or warranty to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their representatives or Affiliates with respect to:

(i) any projections, forecasts or other estimates, plans or budgets of future revenues, expenses or expenditures, future results of operations (or any component thereof), future cash flows (or any component thereof) or future financial condition (or any component thereof) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the future business, operations or affairs of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective representatives or Affiliates; or

(ii) any other information, statement or documents heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective representatives or Affiliates, except to the extent and as expressly covered by a representation and warranty made by the Company and contained in Section 3.1 of this Agreement.

Section 5.12 Anti-Takeover Statutes. If the restrictive provisions of any anti-takeover statute or regulation enacted under state laws in the United States (including Section 203 of the DGCL) is or may become applicable to this Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Voting Agreement (including the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby), each of Parent, the Company and Merger Sub and their respective boards of directors shall grant all such approvals and take all such actions as are reasonably necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable hereafter on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

Section 5.13 Prepayment of Debt under the Existing Credit Facilities. At or prior to the Closing, (a) the Company shall repay any outstanding amounts under the existing credit facilities pursuant to the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2013, as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of June 2, 2014, by and among Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, the Company, as borrower, the guarantors party thereto and the lenders party thereto (the “Existing Credit Facilities”), (b) the Company shall terminate the Existing Credit Facilities and (c) the Company shall, or shall cause the applicable agent under the Existing Credit Facilities to, deliver to Parent (i) a pay-off letter, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, evidencing the satisfaction of all liabilities under the Existing Credit Facilities upon receipt of the amounts set forth in such pay-off letter and (ii) a release in customary form concurrently with the payment of amounts specified in the pay-off letter referred to in clause (i) above of all liens with respect to the capital stock, property and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to the Existing Credit Facilities.

(d) If (i) either Parent or the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i)(A) and at that time there exists any final and nonappealable order, decree, ruling, injunction or other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger by any Antitrust Authority or (ii) either Parent or the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(ii) and (A) the condition specified in Section 6.1(b) has not been satisfied or (B) the condition specified in Section 6.1(c) has not been

If the Termination Fee shall be payable pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as a result of a termination of this Agreement by the Company, the Termination Fee shall be paid no later than three Business Days after notice of termination of this Agreement, and if the Termination Fee shall be payable pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as a result of a termination of this Agreement by Parent, the Termination Fee shall be paid on the date of termination of this Agreement.

(e) In no event shall either Parent or the Company be entitled to receive more than one payment of the Termination Fee.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except in the case of fraud or a willful and material breach of this Agreement, in the event that the Termination Fee becomes payable in accordance with Section 7.3(d), then payment to Company of the Termination Fee shall be Company’s sole and exclusive remedy as liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages of any nature against Parent and Merger Sub and each of their respective former, current and future directors, officers, employees, agents, general and limited partners, managers, members, shareholders, Affiliates and assignees and each former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, shareholder, general or limited partner, manager, member, shareholder, Affiliate or assignee of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Parent Parties”) in respect of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith (other than Confidentiality Agreement), and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the termination of this Agreement, the failure of the Merger to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder (whether intentionally, unintentionally, or otherwise) or otherwise, and upon payment of such Termination Fee no Parent Party shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(g) Each of the Company and Parent acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that the Company or Parent shall fail to pay the Termination Fee when due, the Company or Parent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the other party for all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred or accrued by such other party (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with any action (including the filing of any lawsuit) taken to collect payment of such amounts, together with interest on such unpaid amounts at the prime lending rate prevailing during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal, calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts were required to be paid to the date of actual payment.

Section 7.4 Extension; Waiver.

Section 8.4 Rules of Construction.

(a) Each of the Parties has been represented by counsel of its choice throughout all negotiations that have preceded the execution of this Agreement and that it has executed the same with the advice of said independent counsel. Each Party and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein, and any and all drafts relating thereto exchanged among the Parties shall be deemed the work product of the Parties and may not be construed against any Party by reason of its preparation. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against any Party that drafted it is of no application and is hereby expressly waived.

(b) The inclusion of any information in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself and solely by virtue of the inclusion of such information in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, that such information is required to be listed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, or that such items are material to the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be. The headings, if any, of the individual sections of each of the Parent Disclosure Schedule and Company Disclosure Schedule are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part thereof or

a part of this Agreement. The Company Disclosure Schedule and Parent Disclosure Schedule are arranged in sections corresponding to those contained in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 merely for convenience, and the disclosure of an item in one section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a particular representation or warranty shall be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception with respect to all other representations or warranties to the extent that the relevance of such item to such representations or warranties is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure, notwithstanding the presence or absence of an appropriate section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule with respect to such other representations or warranties or an appropriate cross reference thereto; provided that the disclosure in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall only be an exception to, or disclosure for the purposes of, the first sentence of Section 3.1(g) to the extent specifically referenced on Schedule 3.1(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. The Parties hereto agree that any information contained in any part of the Company SEC Filings shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) the Company’s representations and warranties if the relevance of that information as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties would be reasonably apparent to a Person who has read that information concurrently with such representations and warranties, without any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter(s) disclosed.

(c) The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties or otherwise in this Agreement or in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule is not intended and shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment of the materiality of such amounts or items.

(d) All references in this Agreement to Schedules, Articles, Sections, subsections and other subdivisions refer to the corresponding Schedules, Articles, Sections, subsections and other subdivisions of this Agreement unless expressly provided otherwise.
