(b) At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by Delaware Law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, and such Bylaws.

1.7 Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time, the directors and officers of Sub, as constituted immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

1.8 Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and without any action on the part of any holder of Company Capital Stock:

(i) At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and shares cancelled pursuant to Section 1.8(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.10(c), an amount of cash equal to the Per-Share Cash Amount, without interest. As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall automatically be cancelled and no longer be deemed outstanding, and the holders thereof shall not have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per-Share Cash Amount, without interest, upon surrender of Certificates (as defined in Section 1.10) in accordance with Section 1.10.

(ii) At the Effective Time, each share of capital stock of Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of the sole stockholder of Sub, be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation (and the shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Sub capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the Surviving Corporation’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time). The certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Sub common stock will evidence ownership of the same number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Company Capital Stock Owned by the Company and Parent. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Capital Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each share of Company Capital Stock owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company or subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

(c) Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into capital stock), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Capital Stock or Parent Common Stock occurring after the Agreement Date and prior to the Effective Time, all references in this Agreement to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change.

(d) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any stockholder of the Company that is entitled to appraisal rights demands to be paid the “fair value” of such holder’s shares of Company Capital Stock and complies with all conditions and obligations necessary to perfect appraisal rights in accordance with Delaware Law, each Dissenting Share held by such stockholder will not be converted into the right to the cash amounts set forth in Section 1.8(a), but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Delaware Law to a holder of Dissenting Shares except as provided in this Section 1.8(d). The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any such demands received by the Company, including any stockholder’ s notice of their intent to demand payment pursuant to Delaware Law that the Company receives prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands under Delaware Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any claim or demand in respect of any Dissenting Shares. If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Stockholder shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to seek appraisal rights, the Dissenting Shares held by such stockholder shall immediately be converted into the right to receive the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a) in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall issue and deliver to the holder thereof, at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 1.10(c), following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1.10(c), the amount of cash to which such holder would be entitled in respect thereof under Section 1.8(a) as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares (and all such cash shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have become deliverable to such holder pursuant to Section 1.8(a)).

1.9 Unvested Company Shares; Company Options; Company RSUs.

(a) Unvested Company Shares. The payout of cash pursuant to clause (i) of Section 1.8(a) in exchange for Company Common Stock that immediately prior to the Effective Time was restricted, not fully vested or subject to Repurchase Rights (“Unvested Company Shares”) shall be subject to the same restrictions, vesting arrangements or Repurchase Rights that were applicable to such Unvested Company Shares

immediately prior to or at the Effective Time. Therefore, cash otherwise payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(i) in exchange for each share of Company Common Stock that immediately prior to the Effective Time was restricted or not fully vested (“Unvested Cash”) shall not be payable by Parent at the Effective Time, and shall instead be paid out by Parent on the date that such share of Company Common Stock would have become vested under the vesting schedule in place for such share immediately prior to or at the Effective Time (subject to the conditions and other terms of such vesting schedule, any applicable employment, change in control or retention plan or agreement (as modified or superseded by any Equity Agreement and/or Benefits Waiver), and provided that if such conditions and terms are not satisfied and vesting ceases to continue at any point after the Effective Time, no cash payments shall be made, except the repurchase price described below, with respect to the unvested shares of Company Common Stock). Parent shall make, or in its discretion shall cause a paying agent authorized by Parent to administer such payments on Parent’s behalf to make, all such required payments to holders of Unvested Cash no later than the 15^th day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month in which such Unvested Cash would have become vested under the original vesting schedule. All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.9(a) shall be subject to any required withholding of Taxes and shall be paid without interest. A portion of such newly vested cash so distributed will be treated as imputed interest to the extent required under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. All outstanding Repurchase Rights with respect to Unvested Company Shares that the Company may hold immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assigned to Parent in the Merger and shall thereafter be exercisable by Parent upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions that were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including those under any applicable employment, change in control or retention plan or agreement (as modified or superseded by any Equity Agreement and/or Benefits Waiver)), except that Repurchase Rights may be exercised by Parent retaining the Unvested Cash into which such Unvested Company Shares have been converted and paying to the former holder thereof the repurchase price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time for each such share subject to that Repurchase Right. Following the Effective Time, no Unvested Cash, or right thereto, may be pledged, encumbered, sold, assigned or transferred (including any transfer by operation of law), by any Person, other than Parent, or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of such Person, prior to the distribution to such Person of such Unvested Cash in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Company Options and Company RSUs held by Continuing Employees or as 2000 Plan Awards. At the Effective Time, each Company Option held by a Continuing Employee and any other Company Options that are 2000 Plan Awards that are unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Rollover Option”), and each Company RSU held by a Continuing Employee and any other Company RSUs that are 2000 Plan Awards that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Rollover RSU”), shall on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Section 1.9(d)) be assumed and converted by Parent in accordance with Section 5.11.

(c) 2007 Plan Awards Held by Persons Other than Continuing Employees. Parent will not assume any 2007 Plan Awards held by Persons who are not Continuing Employees. At the Effective Time, each vested 2007 Plan Award held by a Person that is not a Continuing Employee shall, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.10, be converted into and represent the right to receive the Cash Out Amount from Parent for such Company Option or Company RSU; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Cash Out Amount the amount of withholding for Taxes required to be deducted and withheld as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Cash Out Amount payable to each Person covered by this Section 1.9(c) hereunder shall be rounded to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all Company Options or Company RSUs represented by a particular grant held by such non-Continuing Employee. Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the payment to each Person that is not a Continuing Employee but holds a 2007 Plan Award of an amount equal to the Cash Out Amount with respect to each such Company Option and Company RSU. At the Effective Time, each 2007 Plan Award that is held by a Person covered by this Section 1.9(c) will, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be cancelled and extinguished.

(d) Reserved but Unissued Shares. At the Effective Time, the Specified Target Plan (as defined in Section 5.11(e)) and all shares of Company Common Stock then reserved and available for issuance under the Specified Target Plan shall be assumed by Parent in accordance with Section 5.11(e).

1.10 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Parent’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, shall act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in the Merger.

(b) Parent to Deposit Cash. At or promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause a direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent to, deposit with the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article I the cash payable pursuant to Sections 1.8(a) and 1.9(c).

(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (“Certificates”) and each holder of record of uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry shares (“Uncertificated Shares”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock, (i) a letter of transmittal (that shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall contain such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify), and (ii) instructions for use of such letter of transmittal in effecting surrender of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a). Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, or upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an appropriate agent’s message in the case of book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, each holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check for the cash amount that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.8(a) in respect of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares, and the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence only the right to receive cash pursuant to Section 1.8(a), except as provided in Section 1.8(d).

(d) No Interest. No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a) or Section 1.9(a).

(e) Transfers of Ownership. If any cash amount payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a) is to be paid to a Person other than the Person to which the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the payment thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange shall have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of cash in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.10, none of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or any party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirement.

(g) Unclaimed Cash. Any portion of funds held by the Exchange Agent which have not been delivered to any holders of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Article I within six months after the Effective Time shall promptly be paid to Parent, and thereafter each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares who has not theretofore complied with the exchange procedures set forth in and contemplated by Section 1.10(c) shall look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat and similar laws) for its claim, only as a general unsecured creditor thereof, to the cash payable to such holder pursuant to

Section 1.8(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Certificate or Uncertificated Shares have not been surrendered prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the merger consideration contemplated by Section 1.8(a) in respect of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any amounts payable in respect of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

1.11 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. All cash paid or payable following the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be so paid or payable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock which were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

1.12 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such Certificate, following the making of an affidavit of that fact by the record holder thereof, such cash as may be required pursuant to Section 1.8(a) in respect of such Certificate; provided, however, that Parent or the Exchange Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the record holder of such Certificate to deliver a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and/or any of their respective representatives or agents with respect to such Certificate.

1.13 Withholding Rights. The Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the cash otherwise deliverable under this Agreement, from shares deliverable upon exercise of Rollover Options and settlement of Rollover RSUs assumed by Parent pursuant to this Agreement, and from any other payments otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement, to any holder of any shares of Company Capital Stock, any Company Options, any Company RSUs or any Certificates or Uncertificated Shares such amounts as the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such deliveries and payments under the Code, any provision of state, local, provincial or foreign Legal Requirements. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to such holders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

1.14 Tax Consequences. Parent makes no representations or warranties to the Company or to any holder of Company Capital Stock, Company Options or Company RSUs regarding the Tax treatment of the Merger, or any Tax consequences to the Company or any such holder of this Agreement, the Merger, or any of the other transactions or agreements contemplated hereby.

1.15 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and interest in, to and under, and/or possession of, all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in the name and on behalf of the Company or otherwise, to take all lawful action necessary or desirable to accomplish such purpose or acts, except to the extent inconsistent with this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as disclosed in the disclosure letter of the Company delivered to Parent and Sub concurrently with the parties’ execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”) (each of which exceptions, in order to be effective, shall clearly indicate the Section and, if applicable, the Subsection of this Article II to which it relates (unless and to the extent the relevance of such disclosure to other representations and warranties is reasonably apparent from the actual text of the disclosed exception, in which event such disclosed exception shall be deemed so applicable to such other representations and warranties)), the Company represents and warrants to Parent and Sub as follows:

2.1 Organization, Standing and Power; Subsidiaries.

(b) The Company has made available to Parent a correct and complete copy of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, as applicable, of the Company and each Subsidiary, in each case as amended to date. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any of the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or equivalent organizational documents. Schedule 2.1 to the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Agreement Date of the Subsidiaries of the Company and their respective jurisdictions of organization. Each of the Subsidiaries was formed by the Company. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (in any jurisdiction that recognizes such concepts), are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances (other than shares owned by directors of a Subsidiary consistent with applicable Legal Requirements, which to the knowledge of the Company are owned by such directors free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances), and are not subject to any preemptive right or right of first refusal, other than in favor of the Company or a Subsidiary, created by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, as applicable, of such Subsidiary or any Contract to which the Company or such Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound. There are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, “put” or “call” rights, exchangeable or convertible securities or other Contracts of any character relating to the issued or unissued capital stock or other securities of any Subsidiary, or otherwise obligating the Company or any Subsidiary to issue, transfer, sell, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or sell any such securities. Other than the Subsidiaries, the Company does not directly or indirectly own any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for, any equity or similar interest in, any Person. There are no outstanding obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any Contract to which it is a party or by which it is otherwise bound to make any loan to, or any equity or other investment (in the form of a capital contribution or otherwise) in any other Person (other than the Company or a Subsidiary) in an amount in excess of $250,000 in respect of any single Person.

(c) The Company has made available to Parent or its counsel correct and complete copies of the minute books containing records of all proceedings, consents, actions and meetings of the Company Board, committees of the Company Board and stockholders of the Company for the period from since the effective date of the registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Effective Date”) through the Agreement Date, which minute books of the Company so made available contain accurate summaries of

all meetings of, or actions by written consent by, directors and stockholders of the Company, except in each case for (i) records that may discuss the Merger and other strategic alternatives and (ii) draft minutes pending approval by the Company Board or a committee of the Company Board. The Company has made available to Parent or its counsel correct and complete copies of the charters of all committees of the Company Board and all codes of conduct, whistleblower policies, disclosure committee policy or similar policies adopted by the Company Board, as in effect on the Agreement Date unless the same are contained in unredacted exhibits to the Company SEC Reports.

2.2 Capital Structure.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists solely of (i) 250,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Company Preferred Stock. A total of 72,015,949 shares of Company Common Stock are issued and outstanding as of October 9, 2009. No shares of Company Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. The Company has not designated, authorized, or issued any other shares of capital stock. The Company holds no shares of Company Common Stock in its treasury as of the Agreement Date. All issued and outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and are free of all Encumbrances, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal and “put” or “call” rights created by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. As of the Agreement Date, the Company has reserved 24,991,850 shares of Company Common Stock for issuance to employees, non-employee directors and consultants pursuant to the Company Option Plans, of which 13,267,548 shares have been issued pursuant to option exercises, RSU settlements or direct stock grants or purchases, 9,317,930 shares are subject to outstanding and unexercised Company Options, 1,006,463 shares are subject to outstanding and unvested Company RSUs, and 1,399,909 shares remain available for issuance thereunder. The Company has granted no Company Options or Company RSUs other than pursuant to the Company Option Plans. As of the Agreement Date, except for (i) the Company’s right to repurchase any unvested shares of Company Common Stock under the Company Option Plans, (ii) Company Options listed on Schedule 2.2(b)-2 of the Company Disclosure Letter, and (iii) Company RSUs listed on Schedule 2.2(b)-4 of the Company Disclosure Letter, there are no options, warrants, calls, rights or Contracts of any character to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound obligating the Company to grant, issue, deliver, sell, repurchase or redeem, or cause to be issued, delivered, sold, repurchased or redeemed, any shares of any capital stock of the Company, any options or warrants to purchase capital stock of the Company, or any Company Voting Debt. There is no liability for dividends accrued and unpaid by the Company or any Subsidiary.

(b) Schedule 2.2(b)-1 of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Agreement Date of all holders of any Unvested Company Shares, including the number and kind of shares of Company Capital Stock unvested as of the date of this Agreement, the purchase price paid per share, the vesting schedule (and the terms of any acceleration thereof) in effect for such Unvested Company Shares, the repurchase price payable per unvested share and the length of the repurchase period following the holder’s termination of service. Schedule 2.2(b)-2 of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Agreement Date of all holders of outstanding Company Options, whether or not granted under the Company Option Plans, including the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each such option, the date of grant, the exercise or vesting schedule, including the vesting commencement date (and the terms of any acceleration thereof), the extent exercisable or issued as of the Agreement Date, the exercise price per share, the Tax status of such option under Section 409A and Section 422 of the Code and the term of each such option. In addition, Schedule 2.2(b)-3 of the Company Disclosure Letter (which Schedule shall be a subset of Schedule 2.2(b)-2) sets forth a correct and complete list as of the Agreement Date of all holders of outstanding Company Options that are held by Persons that are not employees of the Company or any Subsidiary (including non-employee directors, consultants, advisory board members, vendors, service providers or other similar persons).

issuance under such Company RSUs, and the vesting schedule (and the terms of any acceleration thereof) (and none of such Company RSUs have an applicable exercise price per share). All issued and outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock and all outstanding Company Options and Company RSUs were issued, and all repurchases of Company securities were made, in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including federal and state securities laws and all requirements set forth in applicable Contracts. All shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Company Options or under Company RSUs will, when issued, be validly issued in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including federal and state securities laws and all requirements set forth in applicable Contracts. The Company is not under any obligation to register under the Securities Act any of the presently outstanding securities of the Company or any Subsidiary now outstanding or that may be subsequently issued.

(c) No Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary (i) having the right to vote on any matters on which stockholders may vote (or which is convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having such right) or (ii) the value of which is in any way based upon or derived from capital or voting stock of the Company (collectively, “Company Voting Debt”), is issued or outstanding as of the Agreement Date. Schedule 2.2(c) to the Company Disclosure Letter accurately lists as of the Agreement Date all Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries representing outstanding obligations in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate, including, for each item of Debt, the agreement governing the Debt and the interest rate, maturity date and any assets or properties securing such Debt. All Debt may be prepaid at the Closing without penalty under the terms of the agreements governing such Debt.

(d) Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, there are no Contracts relating to voting, purchase or sale of any Company Capital Stock between or among the Company and any of its securityholders, other than written Contracts granting the Company the right to purchase unvested shares upon termination of employment or service. The terms of each of the Company Option Plans and the applicable stock option agreements and restricted stock unit award agreements permit the assumption by Parent of all outstanding Company Options and Company RSUs, whether vested or unvested, as provided in this Agreement, without the consent or approval of the holders of such securities, the Company stockholders, or otherwise. Schedule 2.2(d) to the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, complete and accurate summary as of the Agreement Date of the terms of any accelerated vesting or exercisability of any Company Options or of any Company RSUs, or any accelerated vesting or lapse of the Repurchase Rights with respect to shares of Company Capital Stock that are subject to Repurchase Rights, or any change in the price, exercise period, or other modifications in the terms of any Company Option, call, or other right, either in connection with the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or upon termination of employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary, or with Parent or any subsidiary, following the Merger or otherwise. Correct and complete copies of each of the Company Option Plans and the standard form of all agreements and instruments relating to or issued under each Company Option Plan and all agreements and instruments relating to or issued under the Company Option Plans, Company Options or Company RSUs that differ in any material respect from such standard form agreements have been made available to Parent, and such agreements and instruments have not been amended, modified or supplemented since being made available to Parent, and there are no agreements, understandings or commitments to amend, modify or supplement such agreements or instruments in any case from those made available to Parent.

2.3 Authority; Noncontravention.

(a) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and, subject to the Company Stockholder Approval (defined below), to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and, subject to the Company’s Stockholder Approval being obtained, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution, and delivery thereof by each of the other parties hereto, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company

enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject only to the effect, if any, of (i) applicable bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) Legal Requirements governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. The Company Board, by resolutions duly adopted (and not thereafter modified or rescinded except as otherwise permitted by Section 5.3(d)-(e)) by the unanimous vote of the full Company Board, has (i) approved and adopted this Agreement and the Merger, (ii) determined that this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Merger and this Agreement are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and (iii) directed that the adoption of this Agreement be submitted to the Company stockholders for consideration and recommended that all of the Company stockholders adopt this Agreement. Subject to the accuracy of the representation set forth in Section 3.4 hereof, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding on the record date set for the meeting of the Company’s stockholders to adopt this Agreement (such approval, the “Company Stockholder Approval,” and such stockholders’ meeting, the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) is the only vote of the holders of capital stock of the Company necessary to adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger under applicable Legal Requirements, the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, (i) result in the creation of any Encumbrance on any of the material properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or (ii) conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit under, or require any consent, approval or waiver from any Person pursuant to, (A) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents of the Company or any Subsidiary, in each case as amended to date, (B) subject to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval and compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 2.3(c), any Legal Requirement applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets, or (C) any Material Contract (as defined in Section 2.18), other than, in the case of (B) and (C) above, such conflicts, violations, defaults, Encumbrances, terminations, cancellations, accelerations, losses, consents, approvals or waivers as would not be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(c) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required by or with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for (i) the filing of the Certificate of Merger, as provided in Section 1.4, (ii) such filings as may be required under the HSR Act and any applicable foreign Antitrust Law (as defined in Section 5.6), (iii) the filing of the Proxy Statement (as defined in Section 2.21) with the SEC and such reports and filings as may be required under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (iv) such other filings and notifications as may be required under federal, state or foreign securities laws or the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market, and (v) such other consents, authorizations, filings, approvals, notices and registrations which, if not obtained or made, would not, individually or in the aggregate, be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or prevent, materially alter or materially delay any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Subject to the accuracy of the representation set forth in Section 3.4 hereof, the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company Board referred to in Section 2.3(a) constitute all of the approvals that are necessary to render inapplicable to this Agreement and the Merger the restrictions on “business combinations” with “interested stockholders” (each as defined in Section 203 of Delaware Law) set forth in Section 203 of Delaware Law and represent the only actions necessary to ensure that Section 203 of Delaware Law does not and will not apply to the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger. No other state takeover or other similar statute or regulation is applicable to this Agreement or the Merger that would interfere with the consummation of the Merger.

2.4 SEC Filings; Company Financial Statements.

(a) The Company has filed on a timely basis all forms, statements, schedules, reports and documents (including items incorporated by reference) required to be filed or furnished by the Company with the SEC since the Effective Date. All such required forms, statements, schedules, reports and documents (including those that Company may file subsequent to the Agreement Date) are referred to herein as the “Company SEC Reports.” As of their respective filing dates, the Company SEC Reports (i) complied, or will comply when filed, with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to such Company SEC Reports, and (ii) did not at the time they were filed (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the Agreement Date, then on the date of such filing) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent corrected prior to the Agreement Date by a subsequently filed Company SEC Report. None of the Subsidiaries is currently required to file any forms, reports or other documents with the SEC under the Exchange Act.

(b) Each of the consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any related notes thereto) contained in the Company SEC Reports (the “Financial Statements”), including each Company SEC Report filed after the Agreement Date until the Closing, at the time filed (i) complied or will comply as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, (ii) were or will be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited interim financial statements, as may be permitted by the SEC on Form 10-Q, 8-K or any successor form under the Exchange Act), and (iii) fairly presented or will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates therein indicated and the consolidated results of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ operations and cash flows for the periods indicated, except that the unaudited interim financial statements may not contain footnotes and were or are subject to normal and recurring year-end audit adjustments. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2009 (the “Company Balance Sheet Date”) contained in the Company SEC Reports is hereinafter referred to as the “Company Balance Sheet.” Except as disclosed in the Financial Statements (for the avoidance of doubt excluding any risk factors or forward-looking statements contained therein), since the Company Balance Sheet Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any liabilities (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) required under GAAP to be set forth on a balance sheet which are, individually or in the aggregate, material to the business, results of operations or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except for: (i) liabilities incurred from the Company Balance Sheet Date to the Agreement Date in the Ordinary Course of Business, (ii) those reflected on, or adequately reserved against in, the Company Balance Sheet, (iii) the fees and expenses of investment bankers, attorneys, consultants, and accountants incurred in connection with this Agreement, and (iv) liabilities incurred after the Agreement Date that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. Except as reflected in the Financial Statements, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Regulation S-K”)). All reserves that are set forth in or reflected in the Company Balance Sheet have been established in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and are adequate as of the Company Balance Sheet Date. At the Company Balance Sheet Date, there were no material loss contingencies (as such term is used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 (“Statement No. 5”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in March 1975) that are not adequately provided for in the Company Balance Sheet as required by Statement No. 5. The Financial Statements comply in all material respects with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 97-2 for the products covered by such standard. The Company has not had any material dispute with any of its auditors regarding accounting matters or policies during any of its past three full fiscal years or during the current fiscal year that is currently outstanding or that resulted in a past adjustment to, or any restatement of, the Financial Statements. The Financial Statements are consistent in all material respects with the books and records of the Company and each Subsidiary.

(c) The Company has heretofore made available to Parent a complete and correct copy of any amendments or modifications, which have not yet been filed with the SEC but which are required to be filed, to agreements, documents or other instruments which previously had been filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as well as any comment letters or similar correspondence received by the Company from the SEC for the Company’s three prior fiscal years and its current fiscal year. The SEC has not provided comments to the Company in connection with any Company SEC Reports that to the Company’s knowledge remain unresolved. To the knowledge of the Company, no investigation by the SEC with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary is pending or threatened.

(d) The Company has established and maintains (i) a system of internal accounting controls that complies with Section 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act, (ii) “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act) required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act and such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to be effective for the purpose for which they were established, and (iii) “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act) and such internal control over financial reporting is designed to be effective (based on the criteria issued by the Committee on Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Committee on “Internal Control-Integrated Framework”) in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Each of the principal executive officer of the Company and the principal financial officer of the Company (or each former principal executive officer of the Company and each former principal financial officer of the Company, as applicable) has made all certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOXA”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the Company SEC Reports and the statements contained in such certifications were true and accurate in all material respects as of the date made. There are no “significant deficiencies” or “material weaknesses” (as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) in the design or operation of the Company’s internal controls and procedures which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data. The Company has adopted a code of ethics, as defined by Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K for senior financial, accounting and compliance officers and those performing similar functions. The Company has disclosed any violation or waiver of such code of ethics, as required by Section 406(b) of SOXA. To the Company’s knowledge, there is no fraud or any material violation of the Company’s code of ethics that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls and procedures.

(e) The audit committee of the Company Board includes an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by Item 401(h)(2) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has also made available to Parent a correct and complete copy of the most recent Internal Revenue Service determination or opinion letter issued with respect to each such Company Employee Plan or its related prototype, and nothing has occurred since the issuance of each such letter that would reasonably be expected to cause the loss of the Tax-qualified status of any Company Employee Plan subject to Section 401(a) of the Code. The Company has also made available to Parent all registration statements and prospectuses prepared in connection with each Company Employee Plan that are not part of the Company SEC Reports.

Each Company Employee Plan can be amended, terminated or otherwise discontinued after the Effective Time in accordance with its terms, without material liability to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary (other than ordinary administrative expenses typically incurred in a termination event, premium expenses and expenses incurred by virtue of plan year changes). No suit, administrative proceeding, action or other litigation has been brought, or to the knowledge of the Company, is threatened, against or with respect to any such Company Employee Plan (other than routine claims for benefits and qualified domestic relations orders), including any audit or inquiry by the Internal Revenue Service or United States Department of Labor that would reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(d) There has been no amendment to, written interpretation or announcement (whether or not written) by the Company, any Subsidiary or other ERISA Affiliate relating to, or change in participation or coverage under, any Company Employee Plan that would materially increase the expense of maintaining such Company Employee Plan above the level of expense incurred with respect to such Company Employee Plan for the most recent fiscal year included in the Financial Statements.

No Foreign Plan has unfunded Liabilities in any material amount that will not be offset by insurance or that are not fully accrued on the financial statements of the Company. With respect to Foreign Plans, the representations in Section 2.13 shall be made exclusively under this subsection (h).

(i) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated hereby or any termination of employment or service or any other event in connection therewith or subsequent thereto will, individually, in the aggregate or with the occurrence of some other event (i) result in any material payment (including severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to any Person, (ii) materially increase or otherwise enhance any benefits otherwise payable by the Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits, except as required under Section 411(d)(3) of the Code, (iv) materially increase the amount of compensation due to any Person, or (v) result in the forgiveness in whole or in part of any outstanding loans made by the Company or any Subsidiary to any Person.

(c) Continuing Obligation. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company’s obligation to call, give notice or convene and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting in accordance with this Section 5.2 shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal, or Superior Offer, or by any Change of Recommendation (as defined in Section 5.3(d) below).

5.3 No Solicitation; Acquisition Proposals.

(a) No Solicitation Generally. Subject to Section 5.3(c), (d) and (f), from and after the Agreement Date until the earlier of the Effective Time and termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, the Company and its Subsidiaries will not, nor will they authorize or permit any of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates or employees or any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative retained by any of them (all of the foregoing collectively being the “Company Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or initiate, or knowingly encourage, knowingly facilitate or knowingly induce, the making, submission or public announcement of any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal (as hereinafter defined), (ii) enter into, participate in, maintain or continue any communications (except solely to provide written notice as to the existence of these provisions) or negotiations regarding, or deliver or make available to any Person any non-public information with respect to, or take any other action knowingly facilitating, any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) agree to, accept, approve, endorse or recommend (or publicly propose or announce any intention or desire to agree to, accept, approve, endorse or recommend) any Acquisition

Proposal, (iv) enter into any letter of intent or any other Contract (whether binding or not) contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Proposal, (v) submit any Acquisition Proposal to the vote of any stockholders of the Company or any Subsidiary, or (vi) grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to the Company or the Subsidiaries, or any class of equity securities of the Company or the Subsidiaries. The Company and its Subsidiaries will immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted prior to or on the Agreement Date with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any Person with which the Company has engaged in any such activities within the 12-month period preceding the Agreement Date. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall enforce (and shall not, nor permit any Subsidiary to, waive) any rights under any standstill or similar agreements to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party. If any Company Representative takes any action that the Company is obligated pursuant to this Section 5.3 not to permit such Company Representative to take, then the Company shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have breached this Section 5.3.

“Acquisition Proposal” shall mean, with respect to the Company, any agreement, offer, proposal or indication of interest (other than this Agreement, the Merger or any other offer, proposal or indication of interest by Parent), or any public announcement of intention to enter into any such agreement or of (or intention to make) any offer, proposal or indication of interest, relating to, or involving: (A) purchase from the Company or any acquisition by any Person or Group of more than a 15% interest in the total outstanding voting securities of the Company or any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person or Group beneficially owning 15% or more of the total outstanding voting securities of the Company, or any merger, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction involving the Company pursuant to which the stockholders of the Company immediately preceding such transaction hold securities representing less than 85% of the total outstanding voting power of the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction (or parent entity of such surviving or resulting entity); (B) any sale, acquisition, or disposition of more than 15% of the total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries in any single transaction or series of related transactions; or (C) any liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

(b) Notice. The Company as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than one Business Day after receipt) shall advise Parent orally and in writing of (A) an Acquisition Proposal or (B) any request for non-public information which would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, as well as, in the event of any of (A)-(B) above, the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal or request, and the identity of the Person or Group making any such Acquisition Proposal or request. The Company will keep Parent informed as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than one Business Day after receipt) of any material changes (including any material amendments or modifications or proposed material amendments or modifications) to any such Acquisition Proposal or request, and provide to Parent as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than one Business Day after receipt) a summary of the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal or request (including any material amendments or modifications or proposed material amendments or modifications). The Company shall provide Parent with prior notice of any meeting of the Company Board at which the Company Board is reasonably expected to discuss any Acquisition Proposal, including to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer (as defined in Section 5.3(c)).

(c) Superior Offers. In the event that any Person submits to the Company after the Agreement Date (and does not withdraw) an unsolicited, written, bona fide Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of national standing) is, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Offer, then notwithstanding Section 5.3(a), the Company may, so long as the Company Stockholder Approval has not yet been obtained, (i) enter into discussions with such Person regarding such Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) deliver or make available to such Person non-public information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, provided, in the case of each such Acquisition Proposal, that the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Company Representatives comply with each of the following: (A) neither the Company, any Subsidiary nor any Company Representative shall have violated any of the provisions of this Section 5.3 in any material

respect, (B) prior to making available to such Person any material non-public information, the Company first shall have received from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms at least as restrictive with regard to the Company’s confidential information as the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 5.5), which confidentiality agreement shall not include any provision for any exclusive right to negotiate with such Person or having the actual or purported effect of restricting the Company from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement and shall require such Person to agree to customary employee non-solicitation and “standstill” provisions covering at least 12 months from execution of such confidentiality agreement, (C) the Company first shall have given Parent advance written notice of its intent to take such actions, and (D) prior to or contemporaneously with delivering or making available any such non-public information to such Person, the Company shall deliver or make available such non-public information to Parent (to the extent such non-public information has not been previously delivered or made available by the Company to Parent).

“Superior Offer” shall mean, with respect to the Company, an unsolicited, bona fide written offer made after the Agreement Date by a third party (a) to acquire, directly or indirectly, pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer, merger, consolidation or other business combination (including by means of a tender offer followed promptly by a back-end merger) beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the assets of the Company or more than 50% of the total outstanding voting securities of the Company and as a result of which the stockholders of the Company immediately preceding such transaction would hold less than 50% of the equity interests in the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction or any direct or indirect parent or subsidiary thereof, (b) for consideration consisting exclusively of cash and/or SEC-registered securities, and (c) that the Company Board has concluded in good faith (following consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of national standing), taking into account, among other things, all legal, financial, regulatory, timing and other aspects of the offer, including conditions to consummation and the Person making the offer, in each case deemed relevant by the Company Board (i) would be, if consummated, more favorable to the Company’s stockholders (in their capacities as stockholders) than the terms of this Agreement (after giving effect to any adjustments to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to such Acquisition Proposal) and (ii) is reasonably likely to be consummated on the terms proposed.

(d) Change of Recommendation for Superior Offer. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company Board from withholding, withdrawing, qualifying, amending or modifying its recommendation to the Company’s stockholders to vote in favor of the Company Stockholder Approval (a “Change of Recommendation”) if:

(i) the Company Stockholder Approval has not yet been obtained;

(ii) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with the provisions and requirements set forth in Section 5.2 and this Section 5.3;

(iii) a Superior Offer is made to the Company that is not withdrawn and continues to be a Superior Offer and is set forth in a final and definitive written agreement submitted irrevocably to the Company (the “Definitive Third Party Agreement”);

(iv) the Company shall have provided to Parent four Business Days’ prior written notice (a “Notice of Superior Offer”) which shall state expressly (1) that the Company has received a Superior Offer, (2) the material terms and conditions of the Superior Offer and the identity of the Person or group of Persons making the Superior Offer, and (3) that it intends to effect a Change of Recommendation and such manner and timing in which it intends to do so, and shall have provided Parent with a copy of the Definitive Third Party Agreement concurrently with the delivery of the Notice of Superior Offer;

(v) the Company shall have during the four Business Day period referred to in subsection (iv) above, if requested by Parent, made the Company Representatives available to discuss with Parent’s representatives any modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that the Parent desires to propose such that the Superior Offer would cease to constitute a Superior Offer;

(vi) Parent shall not have, within four Business Days of Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Superior Offer, made a written, binding and irrevocable (through the expiration of such four Business Day period) offer that the Company Board concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of national standing) to be at least as favorable to the Company’s stockholders (in their capacities as stockholders) as such Superior Offer (it being agreed that (A) the Company Board shall convene a meeting to consider any such offer by Parent promptly following the receipt thereof, (B) that the Company Board will not effect a Change of Recommendation for four Business Days after receipt by Parent of the Notice of Superior Offer and the Definitive Third Party Agreement, and (C) any change to the financial or other material terms of such Superior Offer shall require a new Notice of Superior Offer to Parent and a new four Business Day period under this subsection (vi)); and

(vii) the Company Board has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel), that, in light of such Superior Offer and any offer made by Parent pursuant to subsection (vi) above, that the failure to make a Change of Recommendation is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements.

(e) Change of Recommendation for Intervening Event. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company Board from making a Change of Recommendation for a reason unrelated to an Acquisition Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any Change of Recommendation proposed to be made in response to an Acquisition Proposal may only be made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 5.3(d)) if:

(i) the Company Stockholder Approval has not yet been obtained;

(ii) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with the provisions and requirements set forth in Section 5.2 and this Section 5.3;

(iii) the Company Board has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that, in light of material facts, events and/or circumstances that have developed since the Agreement Date which were previously unknown by the Company and which were not reasonably foreseeable as of the Agreement Date (an “Intervening Event”) and taking into account the results of any discussions with Parent as contemplated by subsection (iv) below and any offer from Parent contemplated by subsection (v) below, the failure to make a Change of Recommendation is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any determination by the Company Board after the Agreement Date that the Per-Share Cash Amount payable in the Merger is not sufficient shall not in and of itself constitute an Intervening Event;

(iv) the Company has provided to Parent at least four Business Days’ prior written notice that the Company Board intends to make a Change of Recommendation (“Notice of Intervening Event”) and if requested by Parent, the Company shall have made the Company Representatives available during the four Business Day period to discuss with Parent’s representatives (A) the facts, events and circumstances underlying such proposed Change of Recommendation and the Company Board’s reason for proposing to effect such Change of Recommendation and (B) any modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that the Parent desires to propose that that would obviate the need for the Company Board to effect such Change of Recommendation; and

(v) Parent shall not have, within the aforementioned four Business Day period, made a written, binding and irrevocable (through the expiration of such four Business Day period) offer that the Company Board concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of national standing) would obviate the need for the Company Board to effect such Change of Recommendation (it being agreed that (A) the Company Board shall convene a meeting to consider any such offer by Parent promptly following the receipt thereof, (B) the Company Board will

not effect a Change of Recommendation for four Business Days after receipt by Parent of the Notice of Intervening Event, and (C) any change in the facts, events or circumstances related to the Intervening Event shall require a new Notice of Intervening Event to Parent and a new four Business Day period and discussion process under subsection (iv) above).

(f) Compliance with Tender Offer Rules. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A, promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if the Company Board has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that failure to make such disclosure is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements (a “Required Fiduciary Disclosure”); provided, however, that (x) any “stop, look, and listen” communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, and any substantially similar communication that solely constitutes a recitation of the fact that an Acquisition Proposal has been received and a factual description of the terms and background thereof, and that no position has been taken by the Company Board as to the advisability or desirability of such Acquisition Proposal, shall not be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation, (y) such disclosure shall not be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation if the Required Fiduciary Disclosure relates to an Acquisition Proposal and the text of such Required Fiduciary Disclosure includes a public statement that the Company Board is expressly reaffirming the Company Board Recommendation, and (z) the Company Board shall not recommend that the Company’s stockholders tender shares of Company Capital Stock in connection with any tender or exchange offer, or effect a Change of Recommendation in connection with an Acquisition Proposal unless specifically permitted to do so pursuant to Section 5.3(d).

5.4 Access to Information.

(b) Subject to compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, from the Agreement Date until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Effective Time, the Company shall notify Parent of, and confer from time to time as requested by Parent with one or more representatives of Parent to discuss, any material changes or developments in the operational matters of the Company and each Subsidiary and the general status of the ongoing operations of the Company and each Subsidiary.

5.10 Employees.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall ensure that the Continuing Employees located in the United States (“U.S. Continuing Employees”) shall receive health and welfare benefits that in the aggregate for each such employee are no less favorable than those provided to a similarly situated employee of Parent or its Affiliates who is not a U.S. Continuing Employee taking into account the employee’s performance and geographic location.

(b) Except to the extent necessary to avoid the duplication of benefits, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its other Affiliates to recognize the service of each U.S. Continuing Employee with the Company or its Affiliates before the Effective Time as if such service had been performed with Parent or its Affiliates for all purposes under the vacation and severance plans maintained by Parent or its Affiliates after the Effective Time and for the purposes of eligibility and vesting under all other employee benefit plans, programs and agreements maintained by Parent or its Affiliates after the Effective Time (in each case, to the extent such plans, programs, or agreements are made available to the U.S. Continuing Employees, as determined by Parent).

(c) With respect to any welfare plan maintained by Parent or its Affiliates in which U.S. Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its other Affiliates, to the extent permitted by the relevant welfare plan, to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees to the extent such conditions and exclusions were satisfied or did not apply to such employees under the welfare plans maintained by the Company or its Affiliates prior to the Effective Time and (ii) provide each such employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time in satisfying any analogous deductible or out-of-pocket requirements to the extent applicable under any such plan.

5.11 Assumption of Options and Certain Other Matters.

(a) At the Effective Time, each Rollover Option held by a Continuing Employee that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, be assumed by Parent. Each such Rollover Option so assumed by Parent under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including, if applicable, the vesting arrangements and other terms and conditions set forth in the Company Option Plan that such Rollover Option was granted under and the applicable stock option agreement) as are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) such option shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time and the Option Exchange Ratio, (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed option shall be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the next whole cent) obtained by dividing the

exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Exchange Ratio, (iii) no assumed Rollover Option may be “early exercised” (i.e., an assumed Rollover Option may be exercised for shares of Parent Common Stock only to the extent such assumed Rollover Option is vested at the time of exercise pursuant to the applicable vesting schedule), and (iv) Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to the Rollover Options and Company Option Plans. It is the intent of the parties that to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, all assumed options in respect of Rollover Options that prior to the Effective Time were treated as incentive or non-qualified stock options under the Code shall from and after the Effective Time continue to be treated as incentive or non-qualified stock options, respectively, under the Code. The Merger shall not terminate any of the outstanding Rollover Options or accelerate the exercisability or vesting of such options or the shares of Parent Common Stock which shall be subject to those options upon Parent’s assumption of such options in the Merger.

(b) At the Effective Time, each Rollover RSU that is outstanding as of the Effective Time shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, be assumed by Parent. Each such Rollover RSU so assumed by Parent under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including, if applicable, the vesting arrangements and other terms and conditions set forth in the Company Option Plan that such Rollover RSU was granted under and the applicable award agreement) as are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) such Rollover RSU shall be for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable under such Rollover RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and the Option Exchange Ratio and (ii) Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to the Rollover RSUs and the Company Option Plans. The Merger shall not terminate any of the outstanding Rollover RSUs or accelerate the vesting of such Rollover RSUs or the shares of Parent Common Stock which shall be subject to those Rollover RSUs upon Parent’s assumption of the Rollover RSUs in the Merger. Promptly after the Closing Date, Parent shall issue to each Person who immediately prior to the Effective Time was a holder of an outstanding Rollover RSU a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Rollover RSU by Parent.

(c) On or about the date which is five Business Days prior to the expected date on which the Closing will occur, the Company shall deliver to Parent a revised list of each Person who the Company reasonably believes is, with respect to the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder), and each agreement the Company reasonably believes would give rise to non-deductibility under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.

(d) Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Rollover Options and under the Rollover RSUs assumed by Parent for which a Form S-8 registration statement is available as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing.

(e) At the Effective Time, Parent shall assume the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Specified Target Plan”) and all unissued shares reserved for future issuance (the “Assumed Shares”) under the Specified Target Plan. The Assumed Shares shall thereafter be reserved for issuance under an acquisition equity incentive plan of Parent (the “Parent Acquisition Equity Incentive Plan”), which Parent will implement in connection with the Merger. The Assumed Shares reserved for issuance shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Parent Acquisition Equity Incentive Plan.

5.12 Spreadsheet. The Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent, at or prior to the Closing, a spreadsheet in a form to be supplied by Parent to the Company, which spreadsheet shall be dated as of the Closing Date and

shall set forth, as of the Closing Date and immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) the names of all holders of Company Options, Company RSUs and Unvested Company Shares, their respective addresses and where available, taxpayer identification numbers, and whether they are then providing services to the Company or its Subsidiaries, (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to Company Options and Company RSUs, and/or the number of Unvested Company Shares held by such Persons, (iii) the exercise price per share in effect for each Company Option and each Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, (iv) the vesting status and schedule with respect to each Company Option, each Company RSU and each Unvested Company Share held by each holder thereof (including the vesting commencement date and repurchase price payable per share with respect to any Unvested Company Share), (v) the Tax status of each Company Option under Section 422 of the Code, and (vi) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Company Options or upon vesting of the Company RSUs to be assumed by Parent and the per share exercise price thereof (such spreadsheet the “Spreadsheet”). A draft of the Spreadsheet shall be provided by the Company to Parent not later than two Business Days prior to the proposed date of the Closing.

5.13 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Merger becomes effective, Parent will assume, and will cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects, the obligations of the Company to its directors and officers as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Parties”) pursuant to any indemnification agreements with the Company and any indemnification or advancement provisions under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws as in effect on the Agreement Date with respect to their acts and omissions as directors and officers of the Company occurring prior to the Effective Time, in each case, subject to applicable Legal Requirements. From and after the Effective Time, such obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to advancement, exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as those contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company as in effect on the Agreement Date, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnified Parties, unless such modification is required by Legal Requirements.

(b) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Merger becomes effective, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties with respect to their acts and omissions as directors and officers of the Company occurring prior to the Effective Time, the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the Agreement Date in the form made available by the Company to Parent prior to the Agreement Date (the “Existing D&O Policy”), to the extent that directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage is commercially available; provided, however, that: (i) the Surviving Corporation may substitute for the Existing D&O Policy a policy or policies of comparable coverage, including a “tail” insurance policy; and (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or for any substitute or “tail” policies) in excess of an amount equal to 300% of the most recently paid annual premium for the Existing D&O Policy (the “Maximum Premium”). In the event any future annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policies) exceed the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to reduce the amount of coverage of the Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute or “tail” policies) to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to the Maximum Premium.

(c) This Section 5.13 shall survive the consummation of the Merger, is intended to benefit each of the Indemnified Parties, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation and Parent, shall be enforceable by each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives, and may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Effective Time without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Party (provided that any amendment, alteration or repeal prior the Effective Time shall be governed by Section 7.4).

5.14 Termination of Benefit Plans. The Company shall take such actions in furtherance of freezing or terminating Company Employee Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably require. In the event that actions taken with respect to Company Employee Plans would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees then the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent no later than ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

5.15 Section 16 Matters. Provided that the Company delivers to Parent the Section 16 Information (as defined below) in a timely fashion, Parent and the Company shall take all such steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements) to cause any disposition of Company Capital Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Capital Stock) or acquisition of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Parent Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by Article I of this Agreement by each Company Insider to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. “Section 16 Information” shall mean information regarding the Company Insiders, the number of shares of Company Capital Stock held by each such Company Insider and expected to be exchanged for cash in connection with the Merger, and the number and description of the Company Options and Company RSUs held by each such Company Insider and expected to be converted into options to purchase Parent Common Stock and restricted stock units for Parent Common Stock, in connection with the Merger. “Company Insiders” shall mean those individuals who are subject to the reporting requirement of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company.

5.16 Takeover Statutes. The Company and the Company Board shall (i) take all actions necessary to ensure that no takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) if any takeover statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby, take all action necessary to ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

The Company shall prior to the Closing Date deliver (i) FIRPTA documentation, including (A) a notice to the Internal Revenue Service, in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h)(2), in the form reasonably requested by Parent, dated as of the Closing Date and executed by the Company, together with written authorization for Parent to deliver such notice form to the Internal Revenue Service on behalf of the Company after the Effective Time, and (B) a FIRPTA Notification Letter, in the form reasonably requested by Parent, dated as of the Closing Date and executed by the Company; and (ii) a certificate dated within three Business Days of the Closing from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware certifying that the Company is in good standing.

The Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent promptly but in no event later than: (x) for a termination described in clause (i) or (ii) above, one Business Day after the date of such termination; (y) for a termination described in clause (iii) above, prior to or concurrently with such termination; or (z) for a termination described in clause (iv) above, the date of the consummation of such Acquisition.

(c) In the event that either of Parent or the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d) and the Termination Fee is not thereupon payable, then within one Business Day following Parent’s submission of reasonable documentation of such fees and expenses, the Company shall reimburse Parent for all of Parent’s fees and expenses not in excess of $5 million in connection with the evaluation and pursuit of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent. The amount of any fees and expenses reimbursed by the Company to Parent shall be credited against any subsequent payment by the Company to Parent of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.3(b).

(d) The Company acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in Sections 7.3(b) and 7.3(c) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the amount of, and the basis for payment of, the fees and expenses described therein is reasonable and appropriate in all respects, and (iii) without this agreement, Parent would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay in a timely manner the fees and expenses due pursuant to Sections 7.3(b) and/or 7.3(c), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent makes a claim that results in a judgment for the amounts set forth in Sections 7.3(b) and/or 7.3(c), the Company shall pay to Parent its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount set forth in Sections 7.3(b) and/or 7.3(c) at the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made hereunder. Payment of the fees described in Sections 7.3(b) shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and its Affiliates in connection with any termination of this Agreement in the circumstances in which such fees became payable. In the event that Parent shall receive the Termination Fee, the receipt of such fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent or any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates arising out of this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination. All payments under this Section 7.3 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Parent’s account set forth on Schedule 7.3(c) or such other account as shall be specified by Parent prior to any termination of this Agreement.

(e) For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Acquisition” shall mean any of the following transactions (other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); (i) a merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company pursuant to which the stockholders of the Company immediately preceding such transaction hold less than 60% of the aggregate equity interests in the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction or any direct or indirect parent thereto, (ii) a sale or other disposition by the Company or its Subsidiaries of assets (in a transaction or series of transactions) representing in excess of 40% of the aggregate fair market value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to such sale, or (iii) the acquisition by any Person or Group (including by way of a tender offer or an exchange offer or issuance by the Company), directly or indirectly, of beneficial ownership or a right to acquire beneficial ownership of shares representing in excess of 40% of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of Company Common Stock.

(f) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events.

7.4 Amendment. Subject to applicable Legal Requirements, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, at any time before or after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained; provided, after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, no amendment shall be made which by law or in accordance with the rules and regulations of NASDAQ requires further approval by such stockholders without such further stockholder approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Sub and the Company.

7.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, except that Parent may not extend for the benefit of Sub and vice versa, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The agreement of Parent to any extension or waiver shall be deemed to be the agreement of Sub to such extension or waiver. Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of or estoppel with respect to, such right.

8.3 Interpretation.

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, Sections or Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Except in the case of Schedule 7.3(c), when a reference is made to a Schedule, such reference shall be to a Schedule to the Company Disclosure Letter. Where a reference is made to a Legal Requirement, such reference is to such Legal Requirement as amended. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(b) The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The phrases “provided to,” “furnished to,” and phrases of similar import when used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, shall mean that a correct and complete paper copy of the information or material referred to has been delivered to the party to whom such information or material is to be provided. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (i) words of any gender include each other gender; (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively; and (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement.

(c) The one percent (1.0%) threshold established by the parties with respect to the Company’s capitalization in Section 6.3(a) hereof shall not, in and of itself, constitute an economic benchmark for determining whether any Effect shall be deemed to be material in relation to the Company and its business or shall be deemed to constitute a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

8.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto; it being understood that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart.

8.5 Entire Agreement; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including all the exhibits attached hereto, and the Company Disclosure Letter, (i) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in accordance with its terms, and (ii) are not intended to confer, and shall not be construed as conferring, upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 5.13. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 5.10 shall be construed as a statement of general intent only.

8.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void, except that Parent may assign this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent without the prior consent of the Company; provided, however, that Parent

shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

8.7 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

8.8 Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereto shall 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 hereto of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief. 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 seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

8.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal 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 laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of Delaware. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive 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 respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or thereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 8.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

8.10 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, hereby waive, with respect to this Agreement and each Exhibit attached hereto, the application of any Legal Requirement, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

8.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO 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 ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
