(d) Payment Certificate; Closing Date Payments.

(i) No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Parent: (A) the Payment Certificate; (B) a pay-off letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parent duly executed by each Person to whom any Indebtedness is (or at the Closing will be) owed by the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary, which shall include a complete release of the Company, the Surviving Corporation and each Subsidiary from all Liens, liabilities and other obligations with respect to such Indebtedness, effective upon the discharge of such Indebtedness at the Closing; and (C) final invoices submitted by each Person to whom any Company Transaction Expenses are (or at the Closing will be) owed, which shall state that the amount invoiced thereby represents all Company Transaction Expenses payable to such Person with respect to the period through the Closing.

(f) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in exchange for any Company Stock or Company Equity Awards, and no holder of any of the foregoing shall be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock. Furthermore, no holder of a fractional share of Company Stock, if any, shall receive or be entitled to receive any of the Aggregate Consideration with respect to such fractional share.

2.2 Payment Fund. The procedures for exchanging outstanding shares of Company Stock for the consideration to be paid to the holders of such Company Stock in connection with the Merger are as follows:

(a) Exchange and Paying Agent. The Exchange and Paying Agent shall, pursuant to instructions from the Parent in accordance with the Exchange and Paying Agent Agreement and the Allocation Schedule, deliver the Aggregate Consideration to the Company Equityholders. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as specified in this Section 2.2(a).

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Parent shall cause the Exchange and Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Stock that was issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (i) a Letter of Transmittal and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of such Certificate in exchange for the applicable Aggregate Consideration that is or may become payable with respect thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon (A) proper surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange and Paying Agent and (B) delivery of a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of shares of Parent Common Stock as determined in accordance with Section 2.1 and reflected on the Allocation Schedule attached to the Payment Certificate. If payment in respect of any Certificate is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name such Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be transferable and be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, that the signatures on such Certificate or any related stock power shall be properly guaranteed and that the Person requesting such payment shall have established to the satisfaction of the Parent and

6

the Exchange and Paying Agent that any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Aggregate Consideration that becomes payable in respect of such Certificate pursuant to this Agreement. Holders of Certificates shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Aggregate Consideration to which they would otherwise be entitled until such Certificates are properly surrendered.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. All consideration paid following the surrender for exchange of Certificates evidencing shares of Company Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Stock, and from and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Stock which were outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange and Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, subject to Section 2.2(e).

(d) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund deposited with the Exchange and Paying Agent (including shares of the Parent Common Stock issued to a Parent reserve account) that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Stock as of six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Law), upon demand, and any holder of Company Stock who is entitled to such amount under this Section 2.2 shall (subject to Section 2.2(e)) be entitled to seek payment of such amount from the Parent only as a general creditor thereof.

(e) No Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, none of the Parent, the Transitory Subsidiary, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange and Paying Agent shall be liable to any Company Equityholder for any amount delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificates shall not have been exchanged prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the related consideration payable pursuant to this Article II would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any such consideration in respect thereof shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact and a customary indemnification of the Company and the Parent in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Parent by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange and Paying Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Aggregate Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement. The Exchange and Paying Agent or the Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to give the Exchange and Paying Agent and/or the Parent a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Exchange and Paying Agent or the Parent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

7

2.3 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive any portion of the Aggregate Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares.

(b) If any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the date of loss of such status, such shares shall automatically be converted into and shall represent only the right to receive any portion of the Aggregate Consideration otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate formerly representing such shares in accordance with Section 2.2.

(c) The Company shall give the Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not settle or make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless the Parent shall have given its written consent to such settlement, payment or settlement offer.

2.4 Company Equityholder Representative.

The Company Equityholder Representative may, in all questions arising hereunder, rely on the advice of counsel, and the Company Equityholder Representative shall not be liable to any Company Equityholder for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Company Equityholder Representative based on such advice. The

9

Company Equityholder Representative undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Company Equityholder Representative. The Company Equityholder Representative shall not have any liability to any of the Company Equityholders for any act done or omitted hereunder as Company Equityholder Representative while acting in good faith. The Company Equityholder Representative shall be indemnified by the Company Equityholders from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred in good faith Equityholder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Company Equityholder Representative’s duties hereunder. Any such claim for indemnification shall be satisfied by a claim against the Company Equityholders (with each Company Equityholder liable for the Pro Rata Share of any such claim that is represented by such Company Equityholder’s Company Stock and Company Equity Awards).

(d) In the event the Company Equityholder Representative becomes unable to perform the Company Equityholder Representative’s responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the Company Equityholders (acting by a written instrument signed by holders of Company Stock who held, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, a majority (by voting power) of the then outstanding shares of Company Stock) shall select another representative to fill the vacancy of the Company Equityholder Representative, and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Company Equityholder Representative for all purposes of this Agreement.

10

(i) the Parent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Company Equityholder Representative as to the settlement of any disputes or claims under this Agreement or any agreements ancillary hereto, including, the Exchange and Paying Agent Agreement, or any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Company Equityholder Representative hereunder, and no party hereunder or any Company Equityholder shall have any claim, cause of action, objection or complaint against the Parent for any action taken by the Parent in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Company Equityholder Representative;

(b) As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Stock Award that is unvested in whole or in part shall vest in full (and all outstanding shares of Company Common Stock issued in connection with such Company Restricted Stock Award shall be cancelled as set forth in Section 2.1(c)(ii)).

(c) Upon the cancellation of the Company Equity Awards pursuant to this Section 2.5, such Company Equity Awards shall not represent the right to acquire any shares of Company Stock or other Equity Interests, and the holder thereof shall have no right to any consideration in exchange for the cancellation of such Company Equity Award.

(d) Prior to the Closing, each holder of Company Equity Awards that (a) will be a continuing employee following the Effective Time or (b) who is receiving an Employment Amount in connection with the Merger and the Contemplated Transactions, shall have executed and delivered an Equity Award Surrender Agreement or similar agreements, which shall include a release of claims related to ownership of or entitlement to any rights or benefits in respect of, any Company Equity Awards, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each of Parent and the Company (“Equity Award Surrender Agreement”).

11

(e) The Company shall, prior to the Closing Date, take all actions necessary or desirable in connection with the treatment of Company Equity Awards contemplated by this Section 2.5, including obtaining the consent from each holder of any Company Equity Award (unless such consent is not required under the terms of the applicable agreement, instrument or plan).

The Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement and such consolidated balance sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the application thereof to the most recent audited financial statements included in the Company Financial Statements (to the extent consistent with GAAP). From the delivery of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement until such time as the calculation of the Estimated Closing Adjustment has been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6, Parent and its accountants shall, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, be permitted to discuss with the Company and its accountants the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement and shall be provided complete and accurate copies of, and have reasonable access, upon reasonable notice at reasonable times during normal business hours, to the work papers and supporting records of the Company and its accountants so as to allow Parent and its accountants to verify the accuracy of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement. If Parent objects to the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement, the Company and Parent will work together in good faith to resolve the issues in dispute. If all disputed issues are resolved, the amounts as agreed upon by Parent and the Company shall be used to determine the Estimated Closing Adjustment. If Parent and the Company are unable to resolve all such disputed issues within four (4) Business Days following Parent’s receipt of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement, the Estimated Closing Adjustment shall be as determined by the Company. For clarity, in the event of any inaccuracy or error with respect to the Estimated Closing Adjustment, Parent shall be entitled to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to, and in accordance with, Article VII, including Section 7.1(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent any Closing Indebtedness is (or at the Closing will be) taken into account in the calculation of the Aggregate Consideration, any such Closing Indebtedness shall be disregarded and not taken into account in determining whether the Company has complied with its obligations under this Agreement or the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Company under this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any Company Equityholder shall have any liability or obligation relating to this Agreement with respect to any such Closing Indebtedness.

The Parent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the Allocation Schedule as in effect from time to time, and, as between the Company Equityholders, on the one hand, and the Parent and the Surviving Corporation, on the other hand, any amounts delivered by the Parent to any Company Equityholder (or delivered by the Parent to the Exchange and Paying Agent for delivery) in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, shall be deemed for all purposes to have been delivered to the applicable Company Equityholder in full satisfaction of the obligations of the Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Article II.

(b) If the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives receives an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, then the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) advise Parent orally and in writing of (i) the receipt of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, (ii) any non-public information provided to a Person who has made an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry in response to a request from such Person, (iii) the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, and (iv) the material terms thereof as well as complete copies of any written Acquisition Proposals, Acquisition Inquiries or any other written communications from such Person or its Representatives, including any proposed agreements, and the Company thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis, with respect to the status and material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, including informing Parent on a reasonably current basis (and, in any event, within 24 hours) of any material amendment or modification or proposed material amendment or modification to any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry.

(c) The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions, negotiations and communications with any Person that relate to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry that has not already been terminated as of the date of this Agreement and request the destruction or return of any non-public information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries provided to such Person as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement.

5.5 Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than one (1) Business Day after the Company becomes aware of same) notify Parent (and, if in writing, furnish copies of any relevant documents) if any of the following occurs: (i) any notice or other communication is received from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions; (ii) any Legal Proceeding against or involving or otherwise affecting the Company or its Subsidiaries is commenced, or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened against the Company or its Subsidiaries or, to the Company’s Knowledge, any director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries; (iii) the Company becomes aware of any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by it in Article III of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to make the timely satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article VI impossible; provided, however, that the failure by the Company to provide such prompt notice shall not constitute a breach of covenant for purposes of Section 6.1(c) or Article VII; or (iv) if any communication is received from the FDA or comparable Governmental Entity concerning the Company’s business or the Company, as applicable (and if such communication is in writing, furnish copies of any relevant documents). No notification given to Parent pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) shall change, limit or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or the Company Disclosure Schedule for purposes of Article VI, as applicable.

(b) During the Pre-Closing Period, Parent shall promptly (and in no event later than one (1) Business Day after the Parent becomes aware of same) notify the Company (and, if in writing, furnish copies of any relevant documents) if any of the following occurs: (i) any notice or other communication is received from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions; (ii) any Legal Proceeding against or involving or otherwise affecting Parent or its Subsidiaries is commenced, or, to Parent’s Knowledge, threatened against Parent or, to Parent’s Knowledge, any director or officer of Parent; (iii) the Parent becomes aware of any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to make the timely satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article VI impossible; provided, however, that the failure by the Parent to provide such prompt notice shall not constitute a breach of covenant for purposes of Section 6.2(b) or Article VII; or (iv) if any communication is received from the FDA or comparable Government Entity concerning Parent’s business or the Parent, as applicable. No notification given to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.5(b) shall change, limit or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of Parent contained in this Agreement or the Parent Disclosure Schedule for purposes of Article VI, as applicable.

5.6 Proxy Statement.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement (and in any event, no later than thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, or such other date as may be agreed by the parties), the parties shall prepare, and Parent shall cause to be filed with the SEC, the Proxy Statement. Parent covenants and agrees that the Proxy Statement will not, at the time the Proxy Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto is filed with the SEC or is first mailed to Parent’s stockholders, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made

58

therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company covenants and agrees that the information provided by or on behalf of the Company to Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Statement (including the Company Audited Financial Statements and/or the Company Interim Financial Statements as included on the Company Financial Statements, as the case may be) will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make such information not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent makes no covenant, representation or warranty with respect to statements made in the Proxy Statement (and the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith), if any, based on information provided by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Representatives for inclusion therein, and the Company makes no covenant, representation or warranty with respect to statements made in the Proxy Statement (and the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith), if any, other than with respect to the information provided by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Representatives for inclusion therein. The Company and its legal counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement, including all amendments and supplements thereto, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and on the response to any comments of the SEC on the Proxy Statement, prior to the filing or submission thereof with or to the SEC. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to Parent’s stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable after the resolution of SEC staff comments and the filing of the Definitive Proxy Statement. Each Party shall promptly furnish to the other Party all information concerning such Party and such Party’s Affiliates and such Party’s stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.6, including that the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly provide the financial statements required for inclusion in the Proxy Statement under applicable securities law and the rules and regulations of the SEC. If Parent, Transitory Subsidiary or the Company become aware of any event or information that, pursuant to the Exchange Act, should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, then such Party, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the other Parties thereof and shall cooperate with such other Parties in filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to Parent’s stockholders. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement will be made by Parent, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company and Parent shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to comply with applicable federal and state securities laws requirements.

(b) The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other and provide, and require their respective Representatives to provide, the other Party and its Representatives, with all true, correct and complete information regarding such Party or its Subsidiaries that is required by Law to be included in the Proxy Statement or reasonably requested by the other Party to be included in the Proxy Statement.

59

5.7 Parent Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) Promptly as reasonably practicable after the resolution of SEC staff comments and the filing of the Definitive Proxy Statement, Parent shall take all action reasonably necessary under applicable Law to call, give notice of and hold a meeting of the holders of Parent Common Stock for the purpose of seeking approval of (i) the issuance of Parent Common Stock under this Agreement and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635; and (ii) any other proposals the Parties reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the Contemplated Transactions (the matters contemplated by this Section 5.7(a)(i) are collectively referred to as the “Parent Stockholder Matters,” and the matters contemplated by this Section 5.7(a)(ii) are referred to herein as, the “Other Parent Stockholder Matters,” and such meeting, the “Parent Stockholders’ Meeting”).

(b) The Parent Stockholders’ Meeting shall be held as promptly as practicable after the filing of the Definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC. Parent shall take reasonable measures to ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if on the date of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, or a date preceding the date on which the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting is scheduled, Parent reasonably believes that (i) it will not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, whether or not a quorum would be present, or (ii) it will not have sufficient shares of Parent Common Stock represented (whether in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, Parent may make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting as long as the date of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of sixty (60) calendar days in connection with any postponements or adjournments.

(c) Parent agrees that, subject to Section 5.7(d): (i) the Parent Board shall recommend that the holders of Parent Common Stock vote to approve the Parent Stockholder Matters and the Other Parent Stockholder Matters and (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the Parent Board recommends that Parent’s stockholders vote to approve the Parent Stockholder Matters and the Other Parent Stockholder Matters (the recommendation of the Parent Board with respect to the Parent Stockholder Matters being referred to as the “Parent Board Recommendation”). Neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (x) withhold, amend, qualify, withdraw or modify (and the Parent Board or any committee thereof shall not resolve to or publicly propose to withhold, amend, qualify, withdraw or modify) the Parent Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to the Company; (y) within 10 Business Days’ of the Company’s written request to do so, fail to recommend after the commencement of an Acquisition Proposal through a tender or exchange offer pursuant to Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act for outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock, against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by its stockholders (which request may only be made once with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal and each material modification thereto) or (z) following the public disclosure of an Acquisition Inquiry or Acquisition Proposal, fail to publicly reaffirm, within five Business Days of a written request therefor by the Company, the Parent Board Recommendation (the actions set forth in the foregoing clauses (x), (y) and (z), collectively, a “Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change”).

60

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a) of this Agreement, if at any time prior to the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters at the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting by the Required Parent Stockholder Vote:

(i) if Parent has received a written Acquisition Proposal (which Acquisition Proposal did not arise in connection with a material breach of Section 5.3) from any Person that has not been withdrawn and after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Parent Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer, the Parent Board may make a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change if and only if all of the following apply: (A) the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Parent Board to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Law; (B) Parent shall have given the Company prior written notice of its intention to consider making a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change at least three (3) Business Days prior to making any such Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change (a “Determination Notice”) (which notice shall not constitute a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change); and (C) (1) Parent shall have provided to the Company a copy of such Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 5.3(b), (2) Parent shall have given the Company the three (3) Business Days after the Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make another proposal and shall have made its Representatives reasonably available to negotiate in good faith with the Company (to the extent the Company desires to negotiate) with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, and (3) after considering the results of any such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by the Company, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Parent Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer and that the failure to make the Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Parent Board to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.7(d)(i) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Acquisition Proposal and require a new Determination Notice, except that the references to three (3) Business Days shall be deemed to be two (2) Business Days.

(ii) other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Parent Board may make a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Parent Change in Circumstance, if and only if: (A) the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Parent Board to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Law; (B) Parent shall have given the Company a Determination Notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to making any such Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change; and (C) (1) Parent shall have specified the Parent Change in Circumstance in reasonable detail, (2) Parent shall have given the Company the three (3) Business Days after the Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make another proposal, and shall have made its Representatives reasonably available to negotiate in good faith with the Company (to the extent the Company desires to do so) with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, and (3) after considering the results of any such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by the Company, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Parent Board shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the

61

Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Parent Change in Circumstance would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Parent Board to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.7(d)(ii) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Parent Change in Circumstance and require a new Determination Notice, except that the references to three (3) Business Days shall be deemed to be two (2) Business Days.

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of Parent under Section 5.3(a) and Section 5.3(b) shall not be impacted by the occurrence of a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change.

(e) Nothing contained in Section 5.3(a) shall prohibit Parent or the Parent Board from (i) complying with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or (iii) otherwise making any disclosure to Parent’s stockholders; that Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, is required under applicable securities Laws; provided that in each of cases (i) and (iii) in no event shall Parent make a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change (but, for clarity, the communication described in the foregoing clause (ii) shall be deemed to not constitute a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change for all purposes hereunder).

5.8 Stockholder Approval.

(a) As expeditiously as possible (and in any event within one (1) Business Days) following the filing of the preliminary Proxy Statement, the Company shall mail or otherwise distribute the Disclosure Statement, in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent, to the Company Stockholders, and shall promptly inform Parent of the date on which such Disclosure Statement (including the notices contained therein) was sent to the Company Stockholders. The Disclosure Statement shall include, among other things, (i) a summary of the Merger and this Agreement (which summary shall include a summary of the terms relating to the indemnification obligations of the Company Equityholders, the escrow arrangements and the authority of the Company Equityholder Representative, and a statement that the adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company shall constitute approval of such terms), (ii) a copy of this Agreement, (iii) the Company Financial Statements, (iv) a description of any interested persons or interested transactions with respect to the Merger and this Agreement, (v) a statement that appraisal rights are available for the shares of Company Stock pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and a copy of such Section 262, (vi) such other information as may be required by Rules 502 or 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and (vii) pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, a written notice to all stockholders of the Company that did not execute such Written Consent informing them that this Agreement and the Merger were adopted and approved by the stockholders of the Company. The Parent and its counsel shall be given an adequate opportunity to review and comment on the Disclosure Statement, and the Company shall reflect all reasonable comments of Parent or its counsel thereon. As expeditiously as possible following the execution of this Agreement, and in any event by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall use

62

reasonable best efforts to secure Written Consents from Company Stockholders necessary to secure the Company Stockholder Approval. As expeditiously as possible following the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company shall deliver to Parent a certificate executed on behalf of the Company by its Secretary and certifying that the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained.

(b) The Company shall ensure that the Disclosure Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that the Company shall not be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information concerning Parent or the Transitory Subsidiary furnished by Parent in writing for inclusion in the Disclosure Statement).

(c) The Parent shall ensure that any information furnished by Parent to the Company in writing for inclusion in the Disclosure Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

5.9 Access to Information. During the Pre-Closing Period, the parties shall (and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to) afford the officers, attorneys, accountants, tax advisors, lenders and other authorized representatives of the other party reasonable access upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours and without unreasonable interference with the operation of the business of the party to all personnel, offices, properties, books and records of the party and the Subsidiaries, so that the other party may have full opportunity to make such investigation as it shall desire to make of the management, business, properties and affairs of said party and the Subsidiaries. The parties shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary to) furnish to the other party such financial and operating data and other information as to the business of said party and the Subsidiaries as the other party shall reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein will require a party or its Subsidiaries to (i) provide the other party with access or information that said party is expressly prohibited by applicable Law from granting or disclosing, or (ii) take any action that would, in the advice of counsel, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product privilege in the event of a legal proceeding with the other party; provided, that in the event that a party or any Subsidiary relies on this sentence to withhold access or disclosure, said party shall, to the extent permitted by Law and the protection of such attorney-client privilege, promptly notify the other party of the nature of the withheld information and provide the other party of a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

5.10 Closing Efforts; Legal Conditions to the Merger; Third-Party Consents.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties (other than the Company Equityholder Representative) shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions and to do all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be completed at Closing as promptly as practicable, including using its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the conditions to the obligations of the other parties to consummate the Merger are satisfied. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take all actions and to all things necessary, proper or advisable to exercise the Drag Right, and such other actions as may reasonably be requested by Parent.

63

(b) Each party (other than the Company Equityholder Representative) shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, at its expense, all waivers, permits, consents, approvals or other authorizations from Governmental Entities, and to effect all registrations, filings and notices with or to Governmental Entities, as may be required for such party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to otherwise comply with all applicable Laws in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in in this Agreement, Parent shall not be obligated (i) to commence or defend any Legal Proceeding required to obtain any such waiver, permit, consent, approval or other authorization or (ii) to sell or dispose of or hold separately (through a trust or otherwise) any assets or businesses of Parent or its Affiliates.

(c) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such waivers, consents or approvals from third parties, and to give all such notices to third parties, in each case as are required to be listed in Section 3.4(b) or (c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; provided that the Company shall not be required to incur any cost, liability or obligation, amend any agreement or relinquish any rights prior to the Closing in connection with obtaining any such waiver, consent or approval.

5.11 Public Disclosure. No party shall issue any press release or public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other parties; provided, however, that (a) the Company and each of the Company Equityholders acknowledge and agree that Parent (i) may issue, without the approval of any other party, an initial joint press release with respect to this Agreement and the matters contemplated hereby, in form and substance mutually agreed by Parent and the Company, (ii) intends to publicly file this Agreement with the SEC, and (iii) may seek confidential treatment under applicable SEC rules with respect to certain matters and terms contained in this Agreement; (b) Parent or the Company may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable Law or stock market rule (in which case the disclosing party shall use reasonable best efforts to advise the other party and provide them with a copy of the proposed disclosure prior to making the disclosure); (c) Parent and its Affiliates shall not be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.11 following the Closing Date; and (d) following Closing and the public announcement of the Merger, the Company Equityholder Representative shall be permitted to publicly announce that it has been engaged to serve as the Company Equityholder Representative in connection with the Merger as long as such announcement does not disclose any of the other terms of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated herein.

5.12 Tax Classification of Transitory Subsidiary. Parent agrees that, during the Pre-Closing Period, it shall not, and shall not authorize any of its Representatives to elect to treat the Transitory Subsidiary as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

7.3 Indemnification Claims.

(a) An Indemnified Party shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Third Party Action. Such notification shall be given within 20 calendar days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of the notice of such Third Party Action, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Action and the amount of the claimed damages. No delay or failure on the part of an Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such delay or failure. Within 20 calendar days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Action constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article VII, and (B) an adverse resolution of the Third Party Action would not have a material adverse effect on the goodwill or reputation of the Indemnified Party or the business, operations or future conduct of the Indemnified Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of any Third Party Action involving Taxes, any Governmental Entity or criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought.

The Non-controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action. The reasonable and documented out of pocket fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Action shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (x) the Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.3(a) or (y) to the extent the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Action. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if the Indemnifying Party, agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment and such settlement or judgment includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party from further liability and has no other adverse effect on the Indemnified Party. Except as provided in Section 7.3(e), the Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

If no Response is delivered within such 20-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed that all of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party. Acceptance by the Indemnified Party of partial payment of any Claimed Amount shall be without prejudice to the Indemnified Party’s right to claim the balance of any such Claimed Amount.

(d) Any Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 11.9.

(e) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, neither party shall have the right to set off, in whole or in part, against any obligation or payment it owes to the other party under this Agreement, amounts owed or claimed in good faith to be owed by a to any other party pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) Without limitation of Section 2.4, the Company Equityholder Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of each Company Equityholder (as an Indemnifying Party and an Indemnified Party) to take any and all actions on behalf of, execute any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute or waive any and all rights of, the Company Equityholders under this Article VII. The Company Equityholder Representative shall have no liability to any Company Equityholders for any action taken or omitted on behalf of the Company Equityholders pursuant to this Article VII.

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver from each “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) with respect to the Company who would reasonably be expected to receive or have received any payment or benefits that would constitute a “parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code) of such disqualified individual’s rights to some or all of such payments or benefits (the “Waived 280G Benefits” and, each such waiver, a “280G Waiver”) so that all remaining payments and/or benefits, if any, shall not be “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), and, not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall submit to a stockholder vote, in a manner that is intended to satisfy the stockholder approval requirements under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the

When reference is made in this Agreement to information that has been “made available” to the Parent, that shall consist of only the information that was (i) contained in the Company’s electronic data room no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the date of this Agreement or (ii) delivered to the Parent or its counsel prior to the date of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party hereto. No summary of this Agreement prepared by any party shall affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. If any date on which a party is required to make a payment or a delivery pursuant to the terms hereof is not a Business Day, then such party shall make such payment or delivery on the next succeeding Business Day.

11.8 Governing Law. This Agreement (and any claims or disputes arising out of or related hereto or the transactions contemplated hereby or to the inducement of any party to enter herein, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise) shall be governed in all respects, including validity, interpretation, and effect, by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware (including in respect of the statute of limitations or other limitations period applicable to any claim, controversy or dispute) 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 Laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of Delaware.

11.9 Remedies.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one (1) remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case without posting a bond or undertaking, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) the party seeking such remedy has an adequate remedy at Law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity.

103

11.10 Confidentiality. The parties acknowledge that the Parent and the Company have previously executed the Confidentiality Agreement, which Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, except as expressly modified herein. Each of the Company Equityholders who are or become bound hereby, including by execution and delivery of a Support and Joinder Agreement, Equity Award Surrender Agreement, Letter of Transmittal and/or Written Consent, agree not to, directly or indirectly, disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or any other information regarding this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other matters contemplated hereby, including any terms of this Agreement with respect to which the Parent has sought confidential treatment under applicable SEC rules, except, in each case to the extent such information is or becomes generally known to the public (other than as a result of a disclosure by the Company (prior to the Closing) or any Company Equityholders).

11.11 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties to this Agreement (a) consents to submit itself to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court, (c) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (d) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any other court, and (e) waives any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of improper venue or inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Any party hereto may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 8.1. Nothing in this Section 11.11, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. Nothing in this Section 11.11 shall limit the right of a party to seek injunctive relief under Section 11.9(b) in any applicable jurisdiction.

11.12 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing making specific reference to this Agreement and signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto (including the Company Equityholder Representative following the Closing).
