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

Section 1.1    The Merger. On the terms and subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the WBCA, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will continue its corporate existence under Washington Law as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent.

Section 1.2    Effective Time of Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington in accordance with the Chapter 23B.11A.060 of the WBCA in order to effectuate the Merger, and by making all other filings and recordings, and delivering and tendering, or causing to be delivered or tendered, as applicable, any Taxes and fees, required under the WBCA to effect the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Articles of Merger has been duly filed with and accepted by the Secretary of State of the State of Washington or at such later time as may be agreed by the Company and Parent in writing and specified in the Articles of Merger in accordance with the WBCA (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.3    General Effects of Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the WBCA.

Section 1.4    Effect of Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any securities of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company:

(a)    Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be 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 with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of Merger 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)    Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares, shall be converted automatically into the right to receive $56.50 in cash (after giving

effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.5), without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 1.4(b) shall no longer be outstanding and shall be automatically cancelled and cease to exist on the conversion thereof, and all uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry form that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Company Common Stock (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Book-Entry Share have been converted pursuant to this Section 1.4(b).

(c)    Treatment of Cancelled Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock that is directly owned by (i) the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (including as treasury stock or otherwise, in each case, not held on behalf of third parties) or (ii) Parent, Merger Sub or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor (such shares, the “Cancelled Shares”).

(d)    Treatment of Dissenting Shares. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if required by the WBCA (but only to the extent required thereby), shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Cancelled Shares) and that are held by holders of such shares who have not voted in favor of the approval of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who are entitled to and have properly and timely notified the Company of their intent to demand payment and exercise dissenters’ rights with respect thereto in accordance with Chapter 23B.13 of the WBCA, have complied strictly in all respects with Chapter 23B.13 of the WBCA and have not effectively withdrawn such notice or demand with respect to any such shares held by any such holder (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and holders of such Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with, but only if, as and when required by, the provisions of Chapter 23B.13 of the WBCA, unless and until any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its rights to appraisal and payment under the WBCA. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such rights, such Dissenting Shares shall thereafter be no longer considered Dissenting Shares under this Agreement and shall be treated as if they had been converted into, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.5), and without any interest thereon, in accordance with Section 1.4(b). At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided in Chapter 23B.13 of the WBCA and as provided in the previous sentence. The Company shall promptly notify Parent of any written notices of intent of any holder of shares of Company Common Stock to demand payment and exercise dissenters’ rights or withdrawals of such notices, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to dissenters’ rights Chapter 23B.13 of the WBCA in connection with the Merger and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. The Company shall not make (or cause to be made on its behalf) any payment or offer of payment with respect to any notices of intent of any holder of shares of Company Common Stock to demand payment and exercise dissenters’ rights, or settle, compromise or otherwise negotiate, or offer to settle, compromise or otherwise negotiate any such notices, in each case, without the prior written consent of Parent.

(e)    Certain Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different

number of shares or a different class of shares by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, then the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change.

Section 1.5    Effect of Merger on Company Equity Awards.

(a)    Company Options.

(i)    At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is vested in accordance with its terms and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Company Option”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the per-share exercise price for such Vested Company Option, by (2) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Vested Company Option, subject to any required withholding of Taxes (the “Vested Company Option Consideration”); provided, however, that if the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Vested Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Vested Company Option shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof.

(ii)    At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is not a Vested Company Option (each, an “Unvested Company Option”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the contingent right to receive an aggregate amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the per-share exercise price for such Unvested Company Option, by (2) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Unvested Company Option (the “Unvested Company Option Consideration”); provided, however, that if the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Unvested Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Unvested Company Option shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof. Subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates, such Unvested Company Option Consideration will vest and become payable at the same time as the Company Option from which such Unvested Company Option Consideration was converted would have vested pursuant to its terms and shall otherwise remain subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the underlying Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including vesting acceleration terms (except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the administration of the Unvested Company Option Consideration amounts, provided that no such changes shall adversely affect the rights of the applicable holder of Unvested Company Option Consideration unless necessary to comply with applicable Law) with respect to receipt of the Unvested Company Option Consideration.

(b)    Company RSUs.

(i)    At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and is either (1) held by a non-employee member of the Company Board (whether vested or unvested) or (2) vested in accordance with its terms but not yet

settled as of the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Company RSU”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU, by (B) the Merger Consideration, subject to any required withholding of Taxes (the “Vested Company RSU Consideration”).

(ii)    At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and not a Vested Company RSU (each, an “Unvested Company RSU”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the contingent right to receive an aggregate amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Unvested Company RSU, by (2) the Merger Consideration (the “Unvested Company RSU Consideration”). Subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates, such Unvested Company RSU Consideration will vest and become payable at the same time as the Company RSU from which such Unvested Company RSU Consideration was converted would have vested pursuant to its terms and shall otherwise remain subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the underlying Unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, including vesting acceleration terms (except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the administration of the Unvested Company RSU Consideration amounts, provided that no such changes shall adversely affect the rights of the applicable holder of Unvested Company RSU Consideration unless necessary to comply with applicable Law) with respect to receipt of the Unvested Company RSU Consideration.

(i)    At the Effective Time, each Company PSU that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and is vested in accordance with its terms but not yet settled as of the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Company PSU”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company PSU, by (2) the Merger Consideration, subject to any required withholding of Taxes (the “Vested Company PSU Consideration”).

(ii)    The achievement of applicable performance metrics of each Company PSU that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and not a Vested Company PSU (each, an “Unvested Company PSU”) for which the applicable performance period has not been completed, will be determined, prior to the Effective Time in good faith by the Company Board or a committee thereof in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company PSU award agreement (any achieved Unvested Company PSUs, the “Achieved Unvested Company PSUs”). At the Effective Time, each Achieved Unvested Company PSUs shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the contingent right to receive an aggregate amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Achieved Unvested Company PSU, by (2) the Merger Consideration (the “Unvested Company PSU Consideration”). Subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates, such Unvested Company PSU Consideration will vest and become payable at the same time as the Company PSU from which such Unvested Company PSU Consideration was converted would have

vested pursuant to its terms and shall otherwise remain subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the underlying Achieved Unvested Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, including vesting acceleration terms (except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the administration of the Achieved Unvested Company PSU Consideration amounts, provided that no such changes shall adversely affect the rights of the applicable holder of Unvested Company PSU Consideration unless necessary to comply with applicable Law) with respect to receipt of the Unvested Company PSU Consideration.

(d)    Certain Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company, acting through the Company Board or an appropriate committee thereof, shall take or cause to be taken, all actions, and provide all notices that are required to effectuate the terms of this Section 1.5. All Company Equity Plans (other than the agreements underlying, and the terms of the Company Equity Plans applicable to, the Unvested Company Option Consideration, the Unvested Company RSU Consideration and the Unvested Company PSU Consideration, in each case, solely to the extent relevant to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.5) will terminate as of the Effective Time and the Company will take all action necessary to effect the foregoing. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that following the Effective Time no participant in any such Company Equity Plans will have any right thereunder to acquire any equity securities of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Following the date hereof, the Company shall provide to Parent or its counsel for review and approval drafts of any documentation prepared by the Company or its counsel to effectuate the foregoing and shall consider in good faith Parent’s timely comments thereto.

(e)    Treatment of Employee Stock Purchase Plan. With respect to the Company ESPP, as soon as practicable (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) following the date of this Agreement, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the Company ESPP) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required so that (i) participation in the Company ESPP shall be limited to those employees who are participants on the date of this Agreement, (ii) participants may not increase their payroll deduction elections or rate of contributions from those in effect on the date of this Agreement or make any separate non-payroll contributions to the Company ESPP on or following the date of this Agreement, (iii) no offering or purchase period shall be commenced after the date of this Agreement, (iv) each then outstanding purchase right shall be exercised as of the earlier of (1) the end of the offering or purchase period in effect on the date of this Agreement or (2) no later than five (5) days prior to the date on which the Effective Time occurs, and (v) the Company ESPP shall terminate immediately prior to, but contingent upon the occurrence of, the Effective Time, and subsequent to the exercise of purchase rights on such purchase date (in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP). On such exercise date, the Company will apply the funds credited as of such date pursuant to the Company ESPP within each participant’s payroll withholding account to the purchase of whole shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP, as amended pursuant to this Section 1.5(e), and each share purchased thereunder immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.4(b), subject to withholding of any applicable withholding Taxes. Any accumulated contributions of each participant under the Company ESPP as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, to the extent not used to purchase shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company ESPP, as amended pursuant to this Section 1.5(e), be refunded to such participant as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (without interest).

(b)    Payment Procedures.

(i)    Transmittal Materials. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within three Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent, if required thereby, to mail or otherwise provide to each former holder of record of Book-Entry Shares (other than holders of Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares), (A) transmittal materials, including a letter of transmittal in customary form reasonably acceptable to the Company, specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates will pass, only upon proper delivery of an “agent’s message” regarding the book-entry transfer of Book-Entry Shares (or such other evidence, if any, of the transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), such transmittal materials to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, (B) a copy of RCW Chapter 23B.13 and all information contemplated thereby, and (C) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. The Paying Agent will accept transferred Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to cause an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices.

(ii)    Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of Book-Entry Shares will not be required to deliver any certificate to receive the applicable Merger Consideration. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares (other than Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall upon receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) (it being understood that the holders of Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed to have surrendered the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Book-Entry Shares upon receipt by the Paying Agent of such “agent’s message” or such other evidence, if any, as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time in exchange therefor, a cash amount in immediately available funds (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.5) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Book-Entry Shares by (B) the Merger Consideration, and the Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall immediately be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Book-Entry Shares.

(c)    Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and 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.

Parent has made available to the Company prior to the date of this Agreement a true and complete copy of the certificates of incorporation and bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents of Parent and Merger Sub, each as amended through the date of this Agreement.

Section 4.2    Authority; Enforceability.

(c)    This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent and Merger Sub and, assuming this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Company, this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against each of Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

Section 4.3    Consents and Approvals; No Violation.

(a)    The execution, delivery and performance by Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby by Parent and Merger Sub do not and will not require Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Subsidiaries to procure, make or provide prior to the Closing Date any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, action by, filing with or notification to any Governmental Entity or other third party, other than (i) the filing of the Articles of Merger, (ii) compliance with the HSR Act and any applicable Antitrust and Foreign Investment Laws, (iii) compliance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, (iv) compliance with the rules and regulations of NYSE and (v) any consents, approvals or authorizations which are required only because of facts and circumstances specific to the Company (the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), collectively, the “Parent Approvals”), and other than any consent, approval, authorization, permit, action, filing or notification the failure of which to make or obtain would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

(b)    Assuming compliance with the matters referenced in Section 4.3(a) and receipt of the Parent Approvals, the execution, delivery and performance by Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, do not and will not (i) contravene or conflict with the organizational or governing documents of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) contravene or conflict with or constitute a violation of any provision of any Law binding on or applicable to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, or (iii) result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of payment, approval, notice, amendment, modification, termination, cancellation or acceleration of any material obligation, under any Contract, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, right or license binding on Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any such contravention, conflict, violation, default, termination,

cancellation, acceleration, right, loss or Lien that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.4    Financing. Parent has delivered to the Company true, complete (other than as may be redacted as expressly permitted by this Section 4.4) and correct copies of (a) the executed commitment letter, dated as of the date hereof (including all exhibits, schedules and annexes thereto, and the executed fee letter associated therewith redacted in a manner as described below, collectively, the “Debt Financing Commitments”), between Merger Sub and the Debt Financing Sources, pursuant to which the Debt Financing Sources have committed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to lend the aggregate amounts set forth therein (the “Debt Financing”) for the purpose of funding a portion of the Financing Uses and (b) the Equity Commitment Letters (the “Equity Financing Commitments”, and together with the Debt Financing Commitment, the “Financing Commitments”), pursuant to which each Guarantor has committed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to invest the cash amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing” and, together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”) for the purposes of funding a portion of the Financing Uses. The Equity Financing Commitments each provide that the Company is a third-party beneficiary thereof. (i) None of the Financing Commitments has been amended, supplemented or modified prior to the date hereof, (ii) no such amendment, supplement or modification is contemplated or pending by Parent or Merger Sub or, to the Knowledge of Parent and Merger Sub, by any other party thereto, (iii) the respective commitments contained in the Financing Commitments have not been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect and (iv) to the Knowledge of Parent, no such withdrawal, termination or rescission is contemplated. Except for the fee letter (a complete copy of which has been provided to the Company, redacted with respect to fee amounts, “market flex” provisions, any other economic terms and any other information customarily redacted, so long as such redaction does not cover terms that could be expected to affect the conditionality, amount, availability, enforceability or termination of the Debt Financing) with respect to the Debt Financing, there are no side letters or Contracts that could reasonably be expected to affect the conditionality, amount, availability, enforceability or termination of the Financing. Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees in connection with the Financing Commitments that are required to be paid on or prior to the date hereof and Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, will, directly or indirectly, continue to pay in full any such amounts required to be paid as and when they become due and payable on or prior to the Closing Date. As of the date hereof, the Financing Commitments are in full force and effect and are the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Parent and/or Merger Sub, as the case may be, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each of the other parties thereto, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. The Financing Commitments contain all of the conditions precedent and other conditions to the obligations of the parties thereunder to make the full amount of the Financing available to Parent on the terms therein. To the Knowledge of Parent and Merger Sub, as of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to (i) constitute a default or material breach on the part of Parent or Merger Sub or any other party thereto under any of the Financing Commitments, (ii) constitute a failure to satisfy a condition precedent as a result of actions taken or expected to be taken by Parent or Merger Sub or any other party under the Financing Commitments or (iii) result in any portion of the Financing Commitments to be provided, funded or invested in accordance with the Financing Commitments being unavailable on the Closing Date as a result of actions taken or expected to be taken by Parent or Merger Sub or any other party under the Financing Commitments. Assuming satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(b), as of the date hereof (i) Parent has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments will not be satisfied or that the full amount of the Financing necessary to fund the Financing Uses will not be made available to Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, in full, in each case, on the Closing Date, (ii) Parent has no Knowledge that any Guarantor will not perform its

obligations thereunder and (iii) Parent is not aware of the existence of any fact or event that would or would reasonably be expected to cause such conditions to the Financing necessary to fund the Financing Uses not to be satisfied or the full amount of the Financing not to be made available to Parent or Merger Sub in full on the Closing Date. Assuming the Financing is funded and/or invested in accordance with the Financing Commitments and the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article III, the Financing, will in the aggregate, and together with the available cash on hand at the Company at Closing, be sufficient to (i) pay the aggregate Merger Consideration and the other payments pursuant to Article II, (ii) pay any and all fees and expenses required to be paid by Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation in connection with the Merger and the Financing, (iii) satisfy all of the other payment obligations of Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation contemplated hereunder required to be paid in connection with the Closing (clauses (i) through (iii), the “Financing Uses”). In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing by or to Parent or any of its Affiliates or any other financing transaction be a condition to the Closing hereunder.

Section 4.5    Guarantees. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent has delivered to the Company true, complete and correct copies of the Guarantees. As of the date hereof, each Guarantee is valid and in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantors, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to the Enforceability Exceptions). As of the date hereof, no Guarantor is in default or breach under the terms and conditions of its respective Guarantee and no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach or a failure to satisfy a condition under the terms and conditions of such Guarantee. Each Guarantor has, and at all times will have, access to sufficient capital to satisfy in full the full amount of the guaranteed obligations under its respective Guarantee.

Section 4.6    Capitalization of Merger Sub. The authorized capital stock of Merger Sub consists of 1,000 shares of common stock, no par value per share, all of which are validly issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Merger Sub is, and at the Effective Time will be, owned by Parent. Merger Sub does not have outstanding any option, warrant, right or any other agreement pursuant to which any Person other than Parent may acquire any equity security of Merger Sub. Merger Sub has not conducted any business prior to the date of this Agreement and has, and prior to the Effective Time will have, no assets, liabilities or obligations of any nature other than those incident to its formation and pursuant to this Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.7    Investigations; Litigation. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect, as of the date of this Agreement, (a) to the Knowledge of Parent, there is no investigation or review pending or threatened by any Governmental Entity with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; and (b) there are no Actions pending (or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened) against or affecting Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets or properties at law or in equity, and there are no Orders of any Governmental Entity against or affecting Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets or properties.

Section 4.8    Proxy Statement; Other Information. None of the information supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub concerning Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement (the “Parent Information”) will, at the time it is filed with the SEC, or at the time it is first mailed to the shareholders of the Company or at the time of the Company Shareholder Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were

made, not misleading; provided that no representation or warranty is made by Parent or Merger Sub with respect to statements made in the Proxy Statement based on information supplied, or required to be supplied, by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein.

Section 4.9    Finders or Brokers. Neither Parent nor any Subsidiary of Parent (including Merger Sub) has employed or engaged any investment banker, broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement who would be entitled to any fee or any commission from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with or on consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.10    Certain Arrangements. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no contracts, undertakings, commitments, agreements, obligations or understandings, whether written or oral, between Parent or Merger Sub, the Guarantors or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and any beneficial owner of five percent or more of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or any member of the Company’s management or the Company Board, on the other hand, relating in any way to the Company, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to the operations of the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time.

Section 4.11    Ownership of Common Stock. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is, nor has been during the five years prior to the date of this Agreement, an “acquiring person” (as defined in Chapter 23B.19 of the WBCA) with respect to the Company.

Immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any financings being entered into in connection therewith), assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 in all material respects:

(a)    the Fair Value of the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, shall be greater than the total amount of Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ liabilities (including all liabilities, whether or not reflected in a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP, and whether direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, secured or unsecured, disputed or undisputed), on a consolidated basis;

(b)    Parent and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, shall be able to pay their debts and obligations as they become due;

Section 4.13    No Parent Vote or Approval Required. No vote or consent of the holders of any capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, Parent is necessary to approve this Agreement and the Merger.

From the date of this agreement until the earlier of (x) the date on which the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained and (y) Termination Date, the Company will not be required to enforce, and will, if requested, be permitted to waive, any provision of any standstill or confidentiality agreement, in each case, solely to the extent that the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law.

(b)    Superior Proposals. Notwithstanding anything to contrary set forth in this Section 6.1 (but subject to the provisos in this Section 6.1(b)), and without limitation to the rights of the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(a), at any time from the date hereof until the Company’s receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company and the Company Board may, directly or indirectly through one or more of their Representatives (including its financial advisor and outside legal counsel), participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, furnish any non-public information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries to, or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any personnel, of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement to any Person or its Representatives that has made or delivered to the Company an Alternative Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of Section 6.1, and otherwise facilitate such Alternative Acquisition Proposal or assist such Person (and its Representatives) with such Alternative Acquisition Proposal (in each case, if requested by such Person); provided, that prior to and as a condition precedent to taking such actions, the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Alternative Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in a Superior Proposal and the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to take the actions contemplated by this Section 6.1(b) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law; provided further, that the Company will promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) make available to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries that is provided to any such Person or its Representatives that was not previously made available to Parent.

any formal action or make or fail to make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender or exchange offer within 10 Business Days after commencement thereof, other than a recommendation against such offer or a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication); or (E) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement (any action described in clauses (A) through (E), a “Recommendation Change”); provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, none of (1) the determination by the Company Board that an Alternative Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or (2) the delivery by the Company to Parent of any notice contemplated by Section 6.1(d) will, in and of itself, constitute a Recommendation Change; or

(ii)    cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(d)    Recommendation Change; Entry into Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval:

(1)    the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least four Business Days in advance (a “Intervening Event Notice Period”) to the effect that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) (A) so determined; and (B) resolved to effect a Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(i), which notice will specify the applicable Intervening Event in reasonable detail and the rationale for the Recommendation Change; and

(2)    prior to effecting such Recommendation Change, the Company and its Representatives, during such Intervening Event Notice Period, must have (A) negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent desires to so negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby, and after taking into account any revisions to the terms of this Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby proposed by Parent, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in

good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and outside legal counsel) that the failure to make a Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law; and (B) permitted Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent that Parent requests to make such a presentation); provided, however, that in the event of any material changes to the facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event, the Company will be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.1(d)(i) with respect to such new written notice (it being understood that the “Intervening Event Notice Period” in respect of such new written notice will be three (3) Business Days); or

(ii)    if the Company has received a bona fide written Alternative Acquisition Proposal, whether during the Go-Shop Period or after the No-Shop Period Start Date, that the Company Board has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) constitutes a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board may (A) effect a Recommendation Change with respect to such Alternative Acquisition Proposal; or (B) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, in each case if and only if:

(1)    the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law;

(2)    the Company, and its Subsidiaries, and its Representatives have complied in all material respects with their obligations pursuant to this Section 6.1 with respect to such Alternative Acquisition Proposal, and the Alternative Acquisition Proposal did not, directly or indirectly, principally arise out of a material breach of this Section 6.1;

(3)    (i) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least four Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”) to the effect that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has (A) received a bona fide written Alternative Acquisition Proposal that has not been withdrawn; (B) concluded in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and legal counsel) that such Alternative Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; and (C) resolved to effect a Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(ii) absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which notice will specify the basis for such Recommendation Change or termination, including the identity of the Person or “group” of Persons making such Alternative Acquisition Proposal, the status of discussions relating to such Alternative Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions thereof and unredacted copies of such Alternative Acquisition Proposal and all written requests, proposals, offers, agreements and other relevant documents (including, among others, all financing commitments) relating to such Alternative Acquisition Proposal; (ii) prior to effecting such Recommendation Change or termination, the Company and its Representatives, during the Notice Period, must have (x) permitted Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent that Parent requests to make such a presentation) and (y) negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent desires to so negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby so that such Alternative Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that in the event of any change to the form or amount of consideration or any other material revisions, updates or supplements to such Alternative Acquisition Proposal, the Company will be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.1(d)(ii)(3) with respect to

such new written notice (it being understood that the “Notice Period” in respect of such new written notice will be three Business Days); and (iii) at the end of the applicable Notice Period, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) concludes in good faith (after taking into account any revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby proposed by Parent) that such Alternative Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and that failing to effect a Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(ii) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law; and

(4)    solely in the event of any termination of this Agreement in order to cause or permit the Company or its Subsidiaries to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Alternative Acquisition Proposal which constitutes a Superior Proposal under sub-clause (B) of this Section 6.1(d)(ii), the Company will have validly terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(c)(iii), including with respect to complying with its obligation to pay the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.3(a).

(e)    Notice. From the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, the Company will promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours from the receipt thereof) notify Parent in writing if any inquiries, offers or proposals that constitute, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, an Alternative Acquisition Proposal are received by the Company or any of its Representatives or any non-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or any of its Representatives with respect to an Alternative Acquisition Proposal, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in an Alternative Acquisition Proposal. Such notice must include (i) the identity of the Person or “group” of Persons making such offers or proposals; and (ii) a summary of the material terms and conditions of such offers or proposals. Thereafter, the Company must keep Parent reasonably informed on a prompt basis of any material developments (including all amendments or proposed amendments, whether or not in writing, and unredacted copies of any written documentation reflecting such modification or proposed modification) regarding any Alternative Acquisition Proposals and any material discussions or negotiations thereof.

(f)    Certain Disclosures. Nothing in this Agreement will prohibit the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) from (i) taking and disclosing to the shareholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication); (ii) complying with Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; (iii) informing any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 6.1; or (iv) making any disclosure to the shareholders of the Company (including regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries) that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined to make in good faith in order to comply with applicable Law, regulation or stock exchange rule or listing agreement and will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company or the Company Board (or any committee thereof) and the rights of Parent under this Section 6.1, it being understood that nothing in the foregoing will be deemed to permit the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to effect a Recommendation Change other than in accordance with Section 6.1(d). In addition, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, a factually accurate public statement by the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof), to the extent required by Law, that solely describes the Company’s receipt of an Alternative Acquisition Proposal, the identity of the Person making such Alternative Acquisition Proposal, and the material terms of such

Alternative Acquisition Proposal will not, in and of itself, be deemed to be (A) a withholding, withdrawal, amendment, or modification, or proposal by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, the Company Recommendation; (B) an adoption, approval or recommendation with respect to such Alternative Acquisition Proposal; or (C) a Recommendation Change, in each case, so long as the Company Board (or a committee thereof), expressly reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such public statement.

(g)    Breach by Representatives. The Company agrees that any breach of this Section 6.1 by any director, officer or other Representative of the Company (other than a consultant or an employee of the Company who is not an officer of the Company) will be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.1 by the Company. The Company will not authorize, direct or knowingly permit any consultant or employee of the Company to breach this Section 6.1, and upon becoming aware of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.1 by a consultant or employee of the Company, shall use its reasonable best efforts to stop such breach or threatened breach.

Section 6.2    Notices. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (a) any notice or other communication received by such Party from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated herein, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such Party to obtain such consent would reasonably be expected to be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, (b) any Actions commenced or, to such Party’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such Party or any of its subsidiaries which relate to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby and (c) in the case of the Company, any event, development, change, effect, fact, circumstance or occurrence that would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2 not being able to be satisfied prior to the End Date; provided that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall not (i) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (ii) limit the remedies available to the Party receiving such notice. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the Company’s, on the one hand, and Parent’s, on the other hand, compliance or failure of compliance with this Section 6.2 shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the condition referred to in Section 2.2(b)(i) or Section 2.2(c)(i), respectively, shall have been satisfied with respect to performance in all material respects with this Section 6.2.

Section 6.3    Company Shareholder Approval.

(a)    The Company shall prepare and, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days) after the date hereof, file with the SEC the preliminary Proxy Statement. Parent shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Proxy Statement and furnish all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub that is required by the Exchange Act in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement. Subject to applicable Law, and anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, prior to the filing of the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any dissemination thereof to the shareholders of the Company, or responding to any comments from the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response, and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments proposed by Parent or its counsel. The Company shall respond promptly to any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The Company shall notify Parent promptly of the receipt of any comments or substantive communications (whether written or oral) from the SEC or the staff of the SEC

and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and shall supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company and any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Proxy Statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act. If at any time prior to the Company Shareholder Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) (i) any information provided by Parent to the Company relating to Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective officers or directors, is discovered by Parent (solely with respect to information relating to Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective officers or directors) or (ii) the Company discovers that the Proxy Statement otherwise contains information that, in each case, (A) has become false and misleading and (B) the correction of which would require, in accordance with the Exchange Act, that an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement be filed with the SEC, so that the Proxy Statement would not include a misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then either Parent or the Company, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other Party of such discovery, and the Company shall promptly file an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement to correct such information and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminate such Proxy Statement to the shareholders of the Company, provided, that except in connection with a Recommendation Change, no amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company and filed with the SEC unless the Company shall have provided Parent and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such amendment or supplement, and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments thereon proposed by Parent or its counsel. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s shareholders as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in no event more than three Business Days) after the resolution of any comments of the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect to the preliminary Proxy Statement (which resolution will be deemed to occur if the SEC has not affirmatively notified the Company prior to the end of the tenth (10th) calendar day after filing the preliminary Proxy Statement that the SEC will or will not be reviewing the Proxy Statement, the “Clearance Date”).

(b)    The Company shall (i) conduct a “broker search” in accordance with Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act as soon as practicable after the date hereof and (ii) subject to the terms of Section 6.1(d), take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Law (including the WBCA), NYSE requirements and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company to set a record date for, duly give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders following the mailing of the Proxy Statement for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval (the “Company Shareholder Meeting”) as soon as reasonably practicable following the Clearance Date and, subject to the terms of Section 6.3(c), in any event no later than forty-five (45) days following the Clearance Date. Once established, the Company shall not change the record date for the Company Shareholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or as otherwise required by applicable Law (including any requirement of Law in connection with any rescheduling, postponement or adjournment of the Company Shareholder Meeting that is permitted hereunder). Unless the Company shall have made a Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 6.1(d), the Company shall include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and shall solicit, and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, the Company Shareholder Approval at the Company Shareholder Meeting (including by soliciting proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement).

(c)    The Company shall cooperate with and keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis regarding its solicitation efforts and voting results following the dissemination of the Proxy Statement to its shareholders. The Company may adjourn or postpone the Company

Shareholder Meeting (i) as required by applicable Law, including any order or a request from the SEC or its staff (as determined in good faith by the Company Board, after consultation with its outside legal counsel), (ii) to allow time for the filing and dissemination of any supplemental or amended disclosure document that the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) is required under applicable Law to be filed and disseminated within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Company Shareholder Meeting, (iii) if as of the time that the Company Shareholder 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 Shareholder Meeting (it being understood that the Company may not postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholder Meeting for more than 20 calendar days in total pursuant to this clause (iii) without Parent’s prior written consent), (iv) if the Company reasonably determines in good faith that the Company Shareholder Approval is unlikely to be obtained (it being understood that the Company may not postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholder Meeting for more than 20 calendar days in total pursuant to this clause (iv) without Parent’s prior written consent), (v) if requested by Parent in order to allow additional time for the solicitation of votes in order to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval (it being understood that the Company shall not be required to postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholder Meeting for more than 20 calendar days in total pursuant to this clause (v)) or (vi) with the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Without the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), 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 shareholders in connection with the adoption of this Agreement) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the shareholders of the Company at the Company Shareholder Meeting.

Section 6.4    General Efforts to Complete Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including any different standard set forth herein with respect to any covenant or obligation of any Party, including with respect to Antitrust and Foreign Investment Laws, which are the subject of Section 6.5), each of the Parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to take (or cause to be taken) all actions, and promptly do (or cause to be done), and to assist and cooperate with the other Party or Parties in doing (or causing to be done) all things, in each case that are necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws or otherwise, to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement (subject to the terms of this Agreement) and in any event prior to the End Date, including (i) delivering all required notices and using reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary actions or nonactions, authorizations, permits, waivers, consents, clearances, approvals and expirations or terminations of waiting periods (collectively, “Consents”), including the Company Approvals and the Parent Approvals, in each case, from Governmental Entities, and making all necessary registrations and filings and using reasonable best efforts to obtain approvals, clearances or waivers from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entity, (ii) using reasonable best efforts to obtain, upon the request of Parent, all necessary Consents from counterparties to any of the Company Material Contracts listed on Schedule 3.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, (iii) defending any Actions, lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or actions taken by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including by resisting, appealing, and using reasonable best efforts to obtain consent pursuant to, resolve or lift, as applicable, any injunction or other Order enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, and (iv) executing and delivering any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent or any of its Subsidiaries

be required to pay (and without the consent of Parent, none of the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall pay or agree to pay) prior to the Effective Time any fee, penalty or other consideration to any third party for any Consent required for or triggered by the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any contract or agreement or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any of the requirements or terms of this Section 6.4 conflict with the requirements or terms of Section 6.4, then the terms of Section 6.4 shall control and nothing in this Section 6.4 shall modify or supersede any of the obligations, limitations and/or restrictions set forth in Section 6.4; provided, however, that this Section 6.4 shall not require any Party to take any action related to any Antitrust and Foreign Investment Laws that is not expressly required by Section 6.5.

Section 6.5    Governmental Approvals.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided and without limiting the generality of Section 6.5, the Company and its Subsidiaries and Parent and its Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) shall each use its reasonable best efforts to (i) promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, file any and all required notification and report forms under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and use their reasonable best efforts to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof file any and all notification and report forms required under other applicable Antitrust and Foreign Investment Laws in the jurisdictions set forth in Section 2.2(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and use their reasonable best efforts to obtain clearances or approvals or cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under applicable Antitrust and Foreign Investment Laws as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, (iii) cooperate with each other in promptly making all such filings and submissions and timely obtaining all such Consents, and shall not (and shall permit any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to) withdraw any filing, or commit to or agree with any Governmental Entity to stay, toll, or extend, any applicable waiting period or enter into any similar timing agreement, without the prior written consent of the other Parties (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or (iv) promptly make an appropriate response to any request by a Governmental Entity for any additional information or documents pursuant to any Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and in furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to (x) resolve, avoid, or eliminate impediments or objections, if any, that may be asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Antitrust and Foreign Investment Laws or (y) avoid the entry of any decree, order or judgment that would prevent, prohibit, restrict or delay the consummation of the contemplated transactions, so as to enable the Parties to close the contemplated transactions as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than the End Date). In the event that any information in the filings submitted pursuant to this Section 6.5 or any such supplemental information furnished in connection therewith is deemed confidential by either Party, the Parties shall maintain the confidentiality of the same, and the Parties shall seek authorization from the applicable Governmental Entity to withhold such information from public view. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in Section 6.4 or this Section 6.5 shall require or obligate Parent, Merger Sub, or any of Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries to take any action with respect to any of Parent’s Affiliates (excluding Parent and Merger Sub), including (x) Blackstone Inc. (“Blackstone”) and Vista Equity Partners Management, LLC (“Vista”) and any investment funds or investment vehicles affiliated with, or managed and advised by, Blackstone or Vista, and (y) any portfolio company (as such term is commonly understood in the private equity industry) or investment of Blackstone or Vista or of any such investment funds or investment vehicles, or any interests therein).

(b)    The Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all registrations, filings, notifications, substantive written or oral communications and submissions pursuant to this Section 6.5, and, subject to applicable Law and the instructions of any Governmental Entity, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated thereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the other party of) notices or other substantive communications received by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect to such transactions. Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall permit counsel for the other Party reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other Party in connection with, any proposed notifications or filings (except for those pursuant to Antitrust and Foreign Investment Laws) and any substantive written or oral communications or submissions to any Governmental Entity; provided, however, that any Party hereto may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other Parties hereto under this Section 6.5 as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel, economists and consultants of the recipient Party without approval of the Party providing such materials, and the recipient Party shall cause such outside counsel, economists and consultants not to disclose such materials or information to any employees, officers, directors or other Representatives of the recipient Party or its Affiliates, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the Party providing such materials. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, materials provided pursuant to this Section 6.5 may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, or proposals from third parties with respect thereto, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual agreements and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub (A) agrees not to participate in any meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone or videoconference, with any Governmental Entity in connection with the proposed transactions unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate; and (B) in the event one such Party is prohibited by the applicable Governmental Entity from participating or attending any such meeting or discussion, the attending Party agrees to keep such non-participating Party reasonably apprised with respect thereto.

(c)    In furtherance and not in limitation of the other covenants of the parties contained in this Section 6.5, but subject to Section 6.5(a), if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding brought by any Governmental Entity or by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Law, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall (i) contest and resist any such Action or proceeding, (ii) seek to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Action, decree, judgment, injunction or other Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) reasonably cooperate in all respects with each other with respect to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii).

Section 6.6    Parent Financing.

(b)    In the event any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Financing Commitments for any reason, or to the extent that Parent reasonably believes in good faith that it will not have funds available on the Closing Date that are sufficient (together with all available Company cash on hand at the time of Closing) to enable it to fund the Financing Uses in full, (i) Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing and (ii) Parent and Merger Sub shall use, and shall cause each Guarantor to use, their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources (the “Alternative Financing”) in an amount, when added to the portion of the Financing that is and remains available to Parent, sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and pay all Financing Uses, and to obtain and provide the Company with a copy of, the new financing commitment that provides for such Alternative Financing (the “Alternative Financing Commitment”), which Alternative Financing Commitment would not (x) include or add any conditions to funding the Debt Financing that are not contained in the Debt Financing Commitments or (y) reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Debt Financing or such Alternative Financing or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub shall not be required to (i) pay any additional fees, bear material original issue discounts or incur an increase in pricing relative to the pricing or fee terms of the Debt Commitment as in effect on the date of this Agreement, taking into account any flex terms, or (ii) seek equity financing from any Person other than the Equity Investors or in an amount in excess of the Equity Financing contemplated by the Equity Commitment as of the date hereof. As applicable, references in this Agreement (other than with respect to representations in this Agreement made by Parent that speak as of the date hereof) (A) to Financing or Debt Financing shall include any such Alternative Financing, (B) to the Financing Commitments or Debt Financing Commitments shall include any such Alternative Financing Commitments and (C) to Definitive Financing Agreements shall include the definitive documentation relating to any such Alternative Financing. Parent shall, promptly upon request, deliver to the Company true and complete copies of all agreements pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide Parent and Merger Sub with any portion of the Financing necessary to fund the Financing Uses (in each case, redacted with respect to fee amounts).

(c)    Without limiting the generality of Section 6.6(b), Parent shall promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) notify the Company in writing of the occurrence of any of the following, in each case to the extent Parent has actual Knowledge thereof: (i) termination, withdrawal, repudiation, rescission, cancellation or expiration of any Financing Commitment, (ii) any material breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach or default) under any Financing Commitment by any party to such Financing Commitment, (iii) receipt by any of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives of any written notice or other written communication from any Debt Financing Source, any lender or any other Person with respect to any (A) actual, threatened or alleged material breach, default, termination, withdrawal, rescission or repudiation by any party to any Financing Commitment or any provision of any Financing Commitment (including any proposal by any Debt Financing Source, lender or other Person to withdraw, terminate, repudiate, rescind or make a material change in the terms of (including the amount of necessary to fund the Financing Uses by) any Financing Commitment) or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Financing Commitment with respect to their obligation to fund the Financing on the Closing Date or (iv) if for any reason Parent in good faith believes that it is likely that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Commitments. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within two Business Days, Parent shall provide the Company with any and all reasonably requested information in its possession or obtain thereby relating to any circumstance referred to in this Section 6.6(c).

(d)    Parent, Merger Sub and the Guarantors shall not (without the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) permit or consent to or agree to (i) any amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement, termination, reduction or other modification or waiver of any condition, provision or remedy under, the Equity Financing Commitments (other than to increase the amount of Equity Financing available thereunder), (ii) any amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement, termination, reduction or other modification or waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Financing Commitment or Definitive Financing Agreement solely to the extent that such amendment, restatement, supplement, termination, reduction, modification or waiver would reasonably be expected to, in each case, in a manner materially adverse to the Company, (A) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the funding of the Debt Financing or would otherwise adversely change, amend, modify or expand any of the conditions precedent to the funding of the Debt Financing, (B) impair, delay or prevent the availability of all or a portion of the Debt Financing or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (C) reduce the aggregate cash amount of the Debt Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Debt Financing) or (D) otherwise materially adversely affect the ability of the Parent to enforce its rights under the Debt Financing Commitments or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the timing of the Closing, including by making the funding of the Financing less likely to occur; or (iii) the early termination of the Financing Commitments or any Definitive Financing Agreement unless an Alternative Financing Commitment satisfying the terms of a permissible amendment pursuant to this Section 6.6(d) is concurrently entered into or the proceeds of such Financing Commitments are not necessary to fund the Financing Uses on the Closing Date; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding, anything to the contrary contained herein, Parent and Merger Sub may amend, replace, supplement and/or modify the Debt Financing Commitments (x) solely to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities as parties thereto who had not executed the Debt Financing Commitments as of the date hereof and, in connection therewith, (y) reallocate the commitments and economic percentages with respect to the appointment of such additional lenders, purchasers, investors, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or other financing sources or (z) otherwise modify or replace the Debt Financing Commitments to

the extent such amended or replaced Debt Financing Commitments would not violate the terms of this Section 6.6(d). Parent shall furnish to the Company a copy of any amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement, modification, waiver or consent of or relating to the Debt Financing Commitments or the Definitive Financing Agreements promptly upon execution thereof. For purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to representations in this Agreement made by Parent that speak as of the date hereof), references to the “Debt Financing Commitment” shall include such document as permitted or required by this Section 6.6 to be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified or waived, in each case from and after such amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement or other modification or waiver.

(e)    If the Debt Financing Commitment is replaced, amended, supplemented or modified, including as a result of obtaining Alternative Financing, or if Parent or Merger Sub substitutes other debt financing for all or any portion of the Debt Financing in accordance with this Section 6.6, Parent or Merger Sub shall comply with their obligations under this Agreement, including this Section 6.6, with respect to the Debt Financing Commitment as so replaced, amended, supplemented or modified to the same extent that Parent and Merger Sub were obligated to comply prior to the date the Debt Financing Commitment was so replaced, amended, supplemented or modified. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.6 to the contrary, compliance by Parent and Merger Sub with this Section 6.6 shall not relieve Parent or Merger Sub of its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whether or not the Financing is available and each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, are not contingent on Parent or Merger Sub’s ability to obtain the financing (or any alternative financing) or any specific term with respect to such financing.

(f)    From and after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (and their respective Representatives) to, provide reasonable and customary cooperation to Parent and Merger Sub, in each case, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (provided that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company or any of its Affiliates), in each case to the extent reasonably requested by Parent in writing (for the avoidance of doubt, email correspondence being sufficient), including:

Nothing contained in this Section 6.6 or otherwise shall require the Company or any of its Affiliates, prior to the Closing, to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing. Parent shall, promptly on request by the Company, reimburse the Company or any of its Affiliates for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by them or their respective Representatives in connection with such cooperation (it being understood that the reimbursement set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to any fees, costs and expenses that are incurred by, or on behalf of, the Company in connection with its ordinary course financial reporting requirements or which would have been incurred regardless of any cooperation with the Debt Financing) and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses (excluding lost profits and losses from any consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages (other than any such damages awarded to a third party in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction)) suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, any action taken by them at the request of Parent or its representatives pursuant to this Section 6.6 and any information used in connection therewith, except (x) with respect to any losses suffered or incurred as a result of the bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) to the extent resulting primarily from any material misstatement or omission in any written historical financial information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries specifically for use in connection with the Debt Financing.

(h)    The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in this Section 6.6 represent the sole obligation of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing to be obtained by Parent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Debt Commitments and the Equity Commitments, and no other provision of this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto), the Debt Commitment Letters or the Equity Commitment Letters shall be deemed to expand or modify such obligations. In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including the Equity Financing or Debt Financing) by Parent or any of its Affiliates or any other financing or other transactions be a condition to any of Parent’s obligations under this Agreement.

(i)    All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company or any of its Affiliates obtained by Parent or its Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be kept confidential in accordance with each Confidentiality Agreement; provided, however, that Parent shall be permitted to disclose information as necessary and consistent with customary practices in connection with the Financing subject to customary confidentiality arrangements.

(j)    The Company hereby consents to the use of the trademarks, service marks and logos of the Company and its subsidiaries by Parent in connection with the Debt Financing; provided, however, that Parent shall ensure that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended, or that is not reasonably likely, to harm or disparage the Company or the Company’s reputation or goodwill.

(k)    Prior to the No-Shop Period Start Date, Parent and Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to not permit any Parent Related Party (which for this purpose will be deemed to include each actual stockholder in Parent and the debt financing sources or potential debt financing sources of the Parent Related Parties) to enter into any Contract prohibiting any potential provider of debt financing from providing debt financing to any Person in connection with an Alternative Acquisition Proposal. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that, in the event any Person who becomes a Parent Related Party after the date hereof takes any action prior to the No-Shop

Period Start Date that is prohibited by this Section 6.6(k) in circumstances where Parent shall have failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to not permit such Parent Related Party to take such prohibited action, such action shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.6(k) by Parent and Merger Sub, even if the Person taking such action was not a Parent Related Party at the time.

Section 6.7    Interim Access to Company. Subject to compliance with applicable Laws, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, afford to Parent and to its Representatives (including the Debt Financing Sources) reasonable access, as is necessary in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and other integration and transition planning relating thereto, during normal business hours, on reasonable advance notice, throughout the period prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the Termination Date, to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ officers, employees and other personnel, properties, contracts, commitments, and books and records, other than any such matters that relate to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, including with respect to the consideration or valuation of the Merger or any financial or strategic alternatives thereto, or any Alternative Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal; provided that the Company may provide the access required by this Section 6.7 by electronic means if physical access is not reasonably feasible; provided, further, that Parent and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to afford such access or furnish such information if and to the extent it (i) would (based on the advice of counsel) cause a risk of a loss of any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege or Trade Secret protection to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) would result in the disclosure of any information in connection with any litigation or similar dispute between the Parties hereto, (iii) such information is not readily available to the Company or (iv) would (based on the advice of counsel) constitute a violation of any applicable Law; provided that with respect to information withheld pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv), the Company shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents and inform Parent as to the general nature of the information or documents being withheld, and thereafter the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make substitute arrangements to allow the disclosure of such information (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that would not violate the foregoing clauses (i) or (iv) (including, if reasonably requested by Parent, entering into a joint defense agreement with Parent on customary and mutually acceptable terms if requested with respect to any such information). Parent hereby agrees that all information provided to it or any of its Representatives in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be “Confidential Information,” as such term is used in, and shall be treated in accordance with, each Confidentiality Agreement; provided that the definition of “Representatives” in paragraph 1 of the Confidentiality Agreements shall be deemed to include any potential debt or equity financing sources of Parent or Merger Sub.

Section 6.8    Employee Matters.

(a)    Change in Control. Parent hereby acknowledges that a “change in control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Company Benefit Plans set forth on Section 3.11(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedules will occur at the Effective Time.

(b)    Post-Closing Protection Period. For the period commencing on the Effective Time and ending on the earlier of (A) the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Time and (B) the date of termination of the Company Employee (such earlier period, the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its Affiliates to provide to each current employee of the Company and

its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time who remains so employed immediately after the Effective Time (“Company Employees”) (i) base compensation and target annual or short-term cash incentive opportunities (including target short-term commission-based cash incentive opportunities) that, in each case, are no less favorable than were provided to the Company Employee immediately before the Effective Time, and (ii) employee benefits (other than stock purchase plans, change in control, transaction, nonqualified deferred compensation, defined benefit pension, or post-employment welfare plans or arrangements) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those that were provided to the Company Employee immediately before the Effective Time under the Company Benefit Plans set forth on Company Disclosure Schedules 3.11(a) (subject to the same exclusions); provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 6.8 will require Parent to provide compensation in the form of equity or equity-based compensation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to each Company Employee whose employment terminates during the Continuation Period under circumstances that would give rise to cash severance pay, vesting acceleration or benefits under the existing terms of the Company Benefit Plans set forth on Section 6.8(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedules and designated thereon as a severance plan, policy or practice (the “Company Severance Plans”), cash severance pay, vesting acceleration or benefits equal to those provided under the Company Severance Plans.

(c)    Service Crediting. For all purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits under the corresponding employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Company Employees after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent and for the same purpose as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any defined benefit pension benefits or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of compensation or benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is comparable to and replaces a Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, and vision insurance benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all preexisting condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived or satisfied under the comparable plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries in which such employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plans ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying the corresponding deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan to the extent such amounts were credited to such person for the same purpose under the Old Plan.

(d)    No Employment Commitments. Without limiting the generality of Section 8.12, the provisions of this Section 6.8 are solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement, and (i) no current or former director, employee or consultant or any other person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, (ii) nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to, or the establishment,

modification or termination of, any Company Benefit Plan or other compensation or benefit plan or arrangement for any purpose, (iii) subject to compliance with this Section 6.8, nothing herein shall alter or limit Parent’s, the Company's or any of their Affiliates’ ability to amend, modify or terminate any particular benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, and (iv) nothing herein shall confer upon any current or former employee any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment.

Section 6.9    Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)    For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall , and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor and fulfill the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to (i) the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the certificates of incorporation and bylaws or similar organizational documents of the Company and any Subsidiaries of the Company as in effect as of the date hereof and (ii) any indemnification agreements between any current or former directors or officers, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, in each case in effect on the date hereof and set forth on Section 6.9 of the Company Disclosure Schedules (the “Company Indemnification Agreements”) and which have been made available to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the Effective Time were current or former directors or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Proceeding (as defined below) pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Proceeding or resolution of such claim, even if beyond such six-year period. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall assume, be jointly and severally liable for, and honor, guarantee and stand surety for, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 6.9.

(b)    Each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, to the fullest extent provided in the governing and organizational documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date hereof and the Company Indemnification Agreements, indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing or any related expenses) each current and former (in each case, as of the Effective Time) director and officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators, and successors and assigns, an “Indemnified Party”) against any costs or expenses (including advancing reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any Proceeding to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by Law), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, obligations, costs, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions in connection with such Persons serving as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary of any entity if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or its Subsidiaries), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in all cases solely to the extent provided in the governing and organizational documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date hereof. In the event of any such Proceeding, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Proceeding, provided that the Surviving Corporation shall have the ultimate right to control any Proceeding for which it is required to indemnify any Indemnified Party (it being understood that, by electing to control the defense thereof, the Surviving Corporation, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, will be deemed to have

waived any right to object to the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto). Each Indemnified Party will be entitled to retain his or her own counsel, whether or not the Surviving Corporation elects to control the defense of any such Proceeding.

(c)    Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase a six-year prepaid “tail” policy on the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time, covering without limitation the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the aggregate cost of such “tail” policy shall not exceed 350% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Maximum Premium”) in respect of the coverage required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for the Maximum Premium. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for insurance hereunder.

(d)    The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Party may have under the certificates of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification arrangement, the WBCA or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 6.9 shall survive the consummation of the Merger for a period of six years and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties.

(e)    In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in 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, proper provision 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 6.9.

Section 6.10    Takeover Statute. If any Takeover Law shall become applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub and the members of their respective boards of directors shall use reasonable best efforts to grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise use reasonable best efforts to act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing in this Section 6.10 shall be construed to permit Parent or Merger Sub to do any act that would constitute a violation or breach of, or as a waiver of any of the Company’s rights under, any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 6.11    Public Announcements. Parent and the Company agree to issue an initial joint press release announcing this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby in a form mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Prior to the issuance of any subsequent press release or other public statement or comment relating to this Agreement (including any proposed termination hereof) or the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall consult with each other and provide each other with the opportunity to review and comment on any press release or other public statement or comment relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, and shall not issue any such press release or other public statement or comment prior to such consultation except as

may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or as may be requested by a Governmental Entity; provided, however, that the restrictions in this Section 6.11 shall not apply (a) to any Company communication (including a press release or other public statement) regarding an Alternative Acquisition Proposal or Company communication (including a press release or other public statement) made by the Company from and after a Recommendation Change by the Company Board, (b) to communications that are disclosures or communications by Parent, Merger Sub and their Affiliates to existing or prospective general or limited partners, equity holders, members, managers and investors of such Person or any Affiliates of such Person, in each case who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions, and deal descriptions on such Person’s website in the ordinary course of business, (c) in connection with any dispute between the Parties regarding this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby or (d) made by the Company or Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates in response to questions by the press, analysts, investors, employees or those participating in investor calls or industry conferences so long as such statements are consistent with information previously disclosed in previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by the Company and/or Parent in compliance with this Section 6.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing herein shall restrict Parent or the Debt Financing Sources or their respective Affiliates or Representatives from making customary communications in connection with the arrangement and consummation of the Debt Financing.

Section 6.12    Management. Prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Parent shall not, and shall not knowingly permit or agree to permit any Person (acting at its direction) to, directly or indirectly, enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not binding) with any director, officer or other employee of the Company relating to (a) any retention, severance or other compensation, incentives or benefits that may be or become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or after the Effective Time, (b) any equity rollover or other similar transaction, or any equity or other investment in Parent, the Company or any parent company thereof, or any affiliate of Parent, the Company or any parent company thereof, following the Effective Time or (c) any directorship, employment, consulting arrangement or other similar association or involvement of any directors, officers or other employees of the Company with Parent, the Company or any parent company thereof, or affiliate of Parent, the Company or any parent company thereof, from and after the Effective Time.

Section 6.13    Stock Exchange De-listing; Exchange Act Deregistration. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part (including in accordance with applicable Laws and rules and policies of NYSE and the SEC) to cause the de-listing of the Company Class A Common Stock from NYSE and the deregistration of the Company Class A Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

Section 6.14    Counterparties. Without the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), Parent shall not, and shall not permit or agree to permit any Person (acting at its direction) to have any formal or informal commercial discussions, enter into any commercial agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not binding) with any current or known prospective customers, suppliers, partners or competitors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent the Parent Related Parties, to the extent not acting at the direction of Parent, from contact with such Persons unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.15    Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to cause dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.16    Shareholder Litigation. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the status of (including by promptly providing copies of all pleadings with respect thereto), and cooperate with Parent in connection with, any shareholder demand, Action or other proceeding (including class action or derivative claims) asserted, commenced or threatened against the Company, on behalf of or in the name of or otherwise involving the Company, its Affiliates and/or its and its Affiliates’ directors or officers relating , directly or indirectly, to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such litigation, “Shareholder Litigation”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall (a) give Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such litigation or claim, (b) consult in good faith with Parent with respect to the defense, settlement and prosecution of any Shareholder Litigation and (c) not compromise or settle, or agree to compromise or settle, any shareholder litigation or claim arising or resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For purposes of this Section 6.16, “participate” means that Parent will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the Shareholder Litigation by the Company (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected), and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Shareholder Litigation, which the Company and its counsel shall consider in good faith. For the avoidance of doubt, any Action related to Dissenting Shares will be governed by Section 1.4(d).

Section 6.17    Director Resignations. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts deliver to Parent resignations executed by each director of the Company in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, which resignations shall be effective at the Effective Time.

To the extent reasonably requested by Parent, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to sell the securities set forth on Section 6.18 of the Company Disclosure Schedules and any similar securities then owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries sufficiently in advance of the Closing Date so as to permit the net proceeds of such sales to be used by, or at the direction of, Parent or Merger Sub as a partial source for the payments contemplated by this Agreement.

Effective Time, whether before or after any approval by the shareholders of the Company of the matters presented in connection with the Merger:

(c)    by the Company:

(i)    if Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached any of their respective representations or warranties or failed to perform any of their covenants or other agreements under this Agreement, in any such case where such breach or failure to perform (i) would result in, and be the primary cause of, a failure of a condition set forth in Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.2(c) and (ii) cannot be cured by the End Date or, if curable by such date, is not cured within the earlier of (1) thirty (30) days following the Company’s delivery of written notice to Parent of such breach or failure to perform and (2)

(ii)    if (A) the conditions set forth in Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(b) have been and continue to be satisfied or waived at the time the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.1 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing (but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied at the Closing)), (B) Parent fails to consummate the Closing on the date on which Parent is required to consummate the Closing pursuant to Section 2.1 and (C) the Company has, at least three (3) Business Days prior to seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(c)(ii), irrevocably confirmed in a written notice delivered to Parent that the Company is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing subject to closing conditions that by their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, and Parent and Merger Sub have not consummated the Closing (but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied at the Closing) by the end of such three (3) Business Day period; or

(iii)    at any time prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval if (i) the Company has received a Superior Proposal after the date of this Agreement, (ii) the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has authorized the Company to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.1(d)(ii), (iii) the Company has complied in all material respects with the terms of Article 6 and Section 6.1(d)(ii) with respect to such Superior Proposal, and (iv) concurrently with (and as a condition to) such termination the Company pays Parent the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.3(a);

In the event of a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, the terminating Party shall forthwith give written notice thereof to the other Party or Parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall terminate, and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned, without further action by any of the Parties hereto. In the event of a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, except that, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3: (i) no such termination shall relieve any

Party of its obligation to pay the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, if, as and when required pursuant to Section 7.3; (ii) no such termination shall relieve any Party for liability for such Party’s fraud or willful and material breach of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement prior to its termination (in which case the aggrieved Party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity); and (iii) the Guarantees, the Confidentiality Agreements, the provisions of the last sentence of Section 6.6(g), this Section 7.2, Section 7.3 and all of Article 8 (to the extent applicable after a termination of this Agreement) shall survive the termination hereof.

(a)    Company Termination Fee. If (i) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(iii), (ii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) or (iii) (A) after the date of this Agreement, an Alternative Acquisition Proposal is made, proposed, communicated or otherwise becomes publicly known prior to the Company Shareholder Meeting, (B) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii) or Section 7.1(d)(i) and (C) concurrently with or within twelve (12) months after such termination, the Company shall have (1) consummated any Alternative Acquisition Proposal (substituting for purposes of this Section 7.3(a)(iii)(C) in the definition thereof “50%” for “20%” and “80%” in each place each such phrase appears) or (2) entered into a definitive agreement providing for any Alternative Acquisition Proposal (substituting for purposes of this Section 7.3(a)(iii)(C) in the definition thereof “50%” for “20%” and “80%” in each place each such phrase appears), then, in each case, the Company shall pay to Parent or Parent’s designee(s), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent or such designee, a fee of $250,000,000 in cash (the “Company Termination Fee”); provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(iii) prior to the No-Shop Period Start Date to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal received from an Excluded Party, then the “Company Termination Fee” shall be $125,000,000. The payment of any Company Termination Fee shall be made concurrently with (and as a condition to) such termination in the case of clause (i) above, within three (3) Business Days after such termination in the case of clause (ii) above, or on the earlier of (x) the execution of a definitive agreement with respect to an Alternative Acquisition Proposal and (y) consummation of any Alternative Acquisition Proposal in the case of clause (iii) above (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion). On the payment by the Company of the Company Termination Fee as and when required by this Section 7.3(a), none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, shareholders, managers, members, Affiliates and Representatives shall have any further liability with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates or Representatives, except to the extent provided in Section 7.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.3(a) will not relieve the Company from liability for fraud or willful and material breach of this Agreement.

(c)    Acknowledgements. Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of this Agreement and that, without Section 7.3(a), Parent would not have entered into this Agreement and that, without Section 7.3(b), the Company would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company or Parent fails to pay any amount due when such amount becomes due pursuant to this Section 7.3 and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, commences an Action with respect to the other Party’s failure to pay an amount due pursuant to this Section 7.3, the non-prevailing party in such Action shall pay to the prevailing party in such Action all of the prevailing party’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of enforcement (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with such action), together with interest on the amount of the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, at the prime lending rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, in effect on the date such payment is required to be made, plus 2%; provided, that in no event shall Parent or the Company be obligated to pay more than $5,000,000 in the aggregate under this Section 7.3(c). The Parties further acknowledge that neither the Company Termination Fee nor the Parent Termination Fee shall constitute a penalty but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent or the Company, as applicable, in the circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. The Parties further acknowledge that the right to receive the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, shall not limit or otherwise affect any such Party’s right to specific performance as provided in Section 8.5; provided that in no event shall either Party be entitled to receive both specific performance and payment of the Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee, as applicable.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but without limiting or affecting Parent’s rights to specific performance expressly set forth in Section 8.5, if this Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee is payable and Parent is paid the Company Termination Fee from the Company pursuant to this Section 7.3, the Company Termination Fee and, if applicable, the costs and expenses of Parent pursuant to Section 7.3(c) shall, subject to Section 8.5, be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of the Parent Related Parties against the Company, its subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, holders of equity, controlling Persons, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, representatives, agents or any their respective assignees or successors or any former, current or future general or limited partner, shareholder, controlling Person, manager, member, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, representative, agent, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach of, or failure to perform under, this Agreement or any certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith or otherwise or in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, and upon payment of such amounts, none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or in respect of representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise, except that nothing shall relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 6.11. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.3(d) will not relieve the Company from liability for fraud or willful and material breach of this Agreement; provided that under no circumstances will the collective monetary damages payable by the Company for breaches (including any willful and material breach) under this Agreement (taking into account the payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Agreement) exceed an amount equal to $500,000,000 in the aggregate for all such

breaches (if any) plus any amounts due by the Company pursuant to Section 7.3(c) (the “Company Liability Limitation”). In no event will any of the Parent Related Parties seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor will any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or award in excess of the Company Liability Limitation against any of the Company Related Parties, and in no event will Parent or Merger Sub be entitled to seek or obtain consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages in excess of the Company Liability Limitation against the Company Related Parties for, or with respect to, this Agreement or the Merger, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Merger or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but without limiting or affecting the Company’s rights to specific enforcement expressly set forth in Section 8.5, in any circumstance in which this Agreement is terminated and the Company is paid the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 7.3 and, if applicable, any costs and expenses of the Company pursuant to Section 7.3(c), the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(ii) and receipt of payment of the Parent Termination Fee shall, subject to Section 8.5, be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of the Company Related Parties against any of Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantors, or any of their respective former, current or future direct or indirect general or limited partners, holders of equity, controlling Persons, direct or indirect equity holders, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, affiliated (or commonly advised) funds, counsel, financial advisors, auditors, representatives, agents or any their respective assignees or successors or any former, current or future direct or indirect general or limited partner, holder of equity, controlling Person, direct or indirect equity holder, manager, member, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, affiliated (or commonly advised) fund, counsel, financial advisor, auditor, representative, agent, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing (collectively, excluding Parent and Merger Sub, the “Parent Related Parties”) and/or the lenders, agents, underwriters, commitment parties and arrangers of any Debt Financing (including pursuant to the Debt Financing Commitments or any other commitment letters, fee letters, engagement letters, credit agreements, loan agreements, joinders or indentures relating to any Debt Financing) or any Debt Financing Sources, together with their respective Affiliates, and their respective Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, controlling persons, advisors, attorneys, agents and representatives and their successors and assigns, including any successors or assigns via joinder agreements or credit agreements related thereto (collectively, each, a “Lender Related Party” and, together, the “Lender Related Parties”) for any cost, expense, loss or damage suffered as a result of, or arising from or otherwise in connection with (i) this Agreement, the Debt Financing Commitments, the Guarantees, the Equity Financing Commitments or any of the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the failure of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated (including the funding of the Financing), (iii) any breach or willful and material breach (or threatened or alleged breach) of, or failure (or threatened or alleged failure) to perform under, this Agreement or any of the other documents delivered herewith or executed in connection herewith or otherwise or (iv) any oral representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith (collectively, the “Transaction Related Matters”); provided, however, that this Section 7.3(e) shall not relieve any Parent Related Party for any liability (for any breach of any Confidentiality Agreement; provided, further, that under no circumstances will the collective monetary damages payable by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates for breaches (including any fraud or willful and material breach) under this Agreement (taking into account the payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to this Agreement), the Guarantees or the Equity Commitment Letters exceed an amount equal to $500,000,000 in the aggregate for all such breaches plus the reimbursement obligations set forth in Section 6.6(g) plus any amounts due by Parent pursuant to Section 7.3(c) (the “Parent Liability

Limitation”). In no event will any of the Company Related Parties seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor will any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or award in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation against the Parent Related Parties, and in no event will the Company be entitled to seek or obtain consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation against the Parent Related Parties for, or with respect to, this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letters, the Guarantee, the Support Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, any breach by a Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub), the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Merger or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure; provided that the foregoing shall not preclude any liability of the Debt Financing Sources to the Company, Parent or Merger Sub under the definitive agreements relating to the Debt Financing (subject to the effectiveness of such definitive documentation and the terms thereof). Except as expressly provided in this Article 7, none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Parent Related Parties or the Lender Related Parties shall have any liability or obligation relating to or arising out of or in connection with any Transaction Related Matters, except that nothing shall relieve Parent of its reimbursement obligations set forth under Section 6.6(g), and none of the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any other Company Related Party shall seek or be entitled to seek or recover any damages or seek or be entitled to any remedy, whether based on a claim at Law or in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to any losses or damages suffered in connection with any Transaction Related Matters; provided that (x) the foregoing shall not limit the rights of any party to specific performance in accordance with Section 8.5 and (y) in no event shall either Party be entitled to receive both specific performance and payment of the Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee, as applicable.

(f)    Except for (i) claims against any Guarantor in accordance with and under the terms of the Guarantee, (ii) claims for specific performance of the Equity Commitment Letters to the extent provided therein, and (iii) claims against the parties to a Confidentiality Agreement for breaches thereof in accordance with the terms thereof (the foregoing (i), (ii) and (iii), “Permitted Claims”), this Agreement may only be enforced against, and all actions or claims (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to any Transaction Related Matters may only be made against (and are those solely of) the entities that are expressly identified as Parties hereto, and, except for Permitted Claims, none of the Guarantors or any other Parent Related Party shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Parties to this Agreement or for any claim against the Parties to this Agreement (whether in tort, contract or otherwise). In no event shall the Company or any of the Company Related Parties, and the Company agrees not to and to cause the Company Related Parties not to, seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or make any claims in respect of any Transaction Related Matters against or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Parent Related Party (other than in respect of Permitted Claims).

Section 8.2    Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 6.6 or Section 7.3, whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring or required to incur such expenses, except that all filing fees paid by any Party in respect of any and all filings under the Antitrust and Foreign Investment Laws shall be borne by Parent; provided, however, Parent or the Surviving Corporation will pay or cause to be paid all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, real property transfer and other similar Taxes and fees imposed with respect to, or as a result of, entering into this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger, and such Taxes and fees expressly shall not be a liability of holders of Company Common Stock, or Company Equity Awards.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including by facsimile, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (.pdf) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were on the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered (by telecopy, facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise as authorized by the prior sentence) to the other Parties.

Section 8.4    Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware, except that matters relating to the fiduciary duties of the Company Board and matters that are specifically required by the WBCA in connection with the Merger shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington. In addition, each of the Parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Merger, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other Party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts.

Each Party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 8.4 in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.7.

Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any Party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

Section 8.5    Specific Enforcement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, may not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that unless and until this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 7.1, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of actual damages and without any requirement for the posting of security, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The Parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for such breach. The Parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, the Parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of, and to prevent or cure breaches of this Agreement, (other than Parent and Merger Sub’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to effect the Closing, which shall be governed solely by the next sentence), on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein, the Guarantees, the Equity Commitment Letters, the Debt Commitment or the Confidentiality Agreements to the contrary, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 7.1, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance to cause Parent and Merger Sub to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to consummate the Closing if, and only if, (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(b) (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing; provided that each such condition is then capable of being satisfied at a Closing on such date) have been and continue to be satisfied or waived, and Parent is required to consummate the Closing pursuant to Section 2.1, and Parent fails to consummate the Closing by the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.1, (ii) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Debt Financing Commitments at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing and (iii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Parent that if the Equity Financing and Debt Financing (including any Alternative Financing that has been obtained in accordance with Section 6.6) are funded, then the Company will take such actions that are required of it to cause the Closing to occur in accordance with Section 2.1 (and the Company has not revoked, withdrawn, modified or conditioned such confirmation) and Parent has failed to consummate the closing within three Business Days after receipt of such irrevocable conditions. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) in no event shall the Company be entitled to specifically enforce (or to bring any action or proceeding in equity seeking to specifically enforce) Parent’s rights under the Financing Commitments to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to effect the Closing other than as expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, and (b) in no event shall the Company be entitled to seek to specifically enforce any provision of this Agreement or to obtain an injunction or injunctions, or to bring any other action or proceeding in equity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, against Parent other than under the circumstances expressly set forth in this Section 8.5. Subject to the two preceding sentences, each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (x) either Party has an adequate remedy at Law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, for the avoidance of doubt, while the Company may concurrently seek (i) specific performance or other equitable relief, subject in all respects to this Section 8.5 and (ii) payment of the Parent Termination Fee

or monetary damages if, as and when required pursuant to this Agreement, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance to cause the Equity Financing to be funded (whether under this Agreement or the Equity Financing Commitments), on the one hand, and payment of the Parent Termination Fee or monetary damages, on the other hand.

Section 8.6    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 8.6.

Any Party to this Agreement may notify any other Party of any changes to the address or any of the other details specified in this Section 8.7. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice as of the date of such rejection, refusal or inability to deliver.

Section 8.8    Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Party or Parties; provided that Parent and Merger Sub shall have the right, without the prior written consent of the Company, to assign all or any portion of their respective rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement (a) from and after the Effective Time in connection with a merger or consolidation involving Parent or the Surviving Corporation or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent or the Surviving Corporation; (b) to any of their respective Affiliates; or (c) to any Debt Financing Source or any other lender pursuant to the terms of the Debt Financing or any other debt financing for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assigning as collateral in respect of the Debt Financing or other debt financing; provided that no such assignment pursuant to clause (b) or (c) shall relieve Parent or Merger Sub of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 8.9    Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the sole extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remainder of such term or provision or the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction; provided, that the Parties intend that the remedies and limitations contained in Section 7.3(e), Section 7.3(f) and Section 8.5

be construed as an integral provision of this Agreement and as such, this Agreement cannot be construed without such sections. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

Section 8.10    Confidentiality. The Parties hereto hereby agree that the terms of (a) that certain confidentiality letter agreement, dated as of July 12, 2024, by and between the Company and Vista Equity Partners Management, LLC and (b) that certain confidentiality letter agreement, dated as of July 13, 2024, by and between the Company and Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C.

The Company, on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries and each of its controlled Affiliates, hereby: (a) agrees that, subject to clause (c) any legal action, whether in Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving the Debt Financing Sources, arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, and any appellate court thereof and each Party hereto irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such legal action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, (b) agrees that any such legal action shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another state), except as otherwise expressly provided in any agreement relating to the Debt Financing, (c) waives any and all rights or claims against the Debt Financing Sources in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in Law or equity, contract, tort or otherwise, and each such Person agrees not to commence (and if commenced agrees to dismiss or otherwise terminate) any proceeding or legal or equitable action against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, (d) knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, trial by jury in any such legal action brought against the Debt Financing Sources in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (e) agrees that none of the Debt Financing Sources shall have any liability to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective controlled Affiliates or representatives or any Company Related Party relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise (subject to the last sentence of this Section 8.15), and (f) agrees that the Debt Financing Sources are express third-party beneficiaries of, and may rely upon and enforce, any of the provisions of Section 6.7, Section 7.3(e), Section 8.5, Section 8.8, Section 8.12 and this Section 8.15 and that Section 6.7, Section 7.3(e), Section 8.5, Section 8.8, Section 8.12 and this Section 8.15 (or any other provision of this Agreement the amendment, modification or alteration of which has the effect of modifying such provisions) may not be amended in a manner adversely affecting any Debt Financing Source without the written consent of such adversely affected Debt Financing Source.
